Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
This has a custom top — I’d like to see pics of that.
“1950-51 (w/title) Military Jeep M38$8,000 OBO ?Body Off? restoration in the 80?s; New engine w/5000+ mi; New paint; Needs military wheels; Gun rack (military style); Shovel & Axe kit; Custom Top w/frame; 4X4 works well”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $1100.
(07/01/2010)Well, this needs a little more than a passenger seat, however it appears mostly unmolested.
“1948 Willys Jeep ready for restoration. Original Flathead four cyl. engine (not running). Solid body. Needs passenger seat. $1100 Firm.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
(06/02/2010) “This 1959 Jeep FC 170 is in good running condition. It is all original and starts and runs great. It has a Western 7′ snow blade that is in good working condition and included with it (blade not pictured). Original parts manual is included. The driver side window is cracked, tail light needs replaced, and there is a slow leak in the break line. Body is solid and in good condition with a small amount of rust (see pictures). That is to my knowledge everything that I know about it. This FC 170 is currently licensed and registered and is in driving condition. The odometer reading is unverified, but to my knowledge would be pretty close due to the condition of this Jeep. These are very rare and hard to find especially in this condition. If you have any questions you can contact me at 319-385-3399. A $500 deposit will be required immediately at auction ending. Must be paid in full by the time of pick up or delivery.”
Of course, the Walter P. Chrysler Museum has its share of jeeps to display. Unfortuantely, the museum website doesn’t show any images of Jeeps and, in fact, barely mentions them. Can anyone provide some feedback on a visit experience to this museum?
TIDBITS: The CJ-3B Page chronicles a 2007 parade of old Willys that dropped by the museum. Also, a museum-owned 1945 CJ-2A was for sale as of 2008. I don’t know if it sold or not.
I made a few searches and found a variety of images from the Chrysler Museum. Here’s a great pic that shows a range of jeeps with a Willys MA in the foreground:
I ran across a variety of images of this MB on the internet:
This is a 1945 VEC CJ-2A:
This is a shot of a Jeepster:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Here’s a cool, custom 4 door truck.
“What you see here is a 1948 willys crewcab custom conversion, the back doors are suicide mounted. The conversion was done about 10 years ago and has held up very well. The interior has a stock bench rear seat, with a storage well beneath it. The front seats are cavalier buckets(grey) that do not match the buckskin on the rest of the interior. The truck has been on the road for the better part of decade and needs some freshening (to your tastes). The drivetrain is a Fresh rebuilt 454, .030 over with .500 lift cam and big oval heads, has performer intake with new performer carb, headers and a light porting on the heads. This thing is a tourque monster! will burn the tires at will.Tranny is a turbo 350 rebuilt approx. 2000 miles ago with a shift kit and billet internals, transfer case is np205 gear drive with 1350 rear joints, 1310 front joints. Front axle is scout 2 with disk brakes, rear axle is ford 9” 31 spline with spool, both are geared 3.73.Body exterior is painted flat black with a ton of custom pinstriping and paint work, looks like it has been tattooed!Paint is about 5 years old and has some issues (passenger rear door opened up at 60 mph, cracked a little but held up well!) but is still real good looking , especially if you like the rat rod look.Only reason its for sale is to fund a new project.Happy bidding!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.
Is that a MB/GPW body?
“If you own a RANCH this would be Ride for you”
UPDATE: Still Available
(07/26/2010) This looks in good shape.
“I have a Flat Fender Willys Jeep but registered as a 1966. It has a rebuilt Buick V6 with only about 500-600 miles on the engine. The transmission is a Chevy truck 4-speed with a granny-low and Jeep transfer case. The tires are fairly new with about 250 miles on them…all in the sand at Pismo. The top is in like new condition with no hazing on the plastic “windows” or any tears in the canvas. The front seats are in like new condition, as well. It has been kept in the garage as long as I have had it, about 4 years. The carb. has been rebuilt and the battery is new. Tags are up-to-date and good until June of 2011. I have about $5500 in it, it can be yours for only $4500 or best offer. You will turly love this off-road vehicle. If interested, call 209.823.6063.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $700
(05/27/2010) It runs, but the body is rough. It’s hard to tell how rough from these images. More pics available.
“We were told it was a 1952 CJ3A when we bought it, but I have yet to verify this. I have more pictures of it. The body is in very very bad shape, but the engine, transmission and frame are all very solid as far as we can tell. It was used for transporting tools and parts around our land (about 250 acres) as well as just having some fun riding around. Looking for $1800 or best offer, but it is really hard to determine if that is asking too much based on what I am reading on line…..”

I spoke with Bob over the weekend and he mentioned stopping by 4 Wheel Drive Hardware’s 13th annual Jamboree in Ohio. He estimated there were over 300 jeeps and plenty of things to look at and do. Among the things he learned was that the Butler Pennsylvania Tourism office wants to produce a large Jeep Festival during Aug 12-14, 2011, where they hope to hold the largest Jeep Parade ever held (and over take Colombia’s Guiness Record).
From Butler Tourism’s website, “Bantam Jeep Year-Long 70th Birthday Celebration Kicks Off Summer 2010: Jeep enthusiasts, automotive and military history buffs and thousands of visitors will make their way to Butler County to celebrate the Bantam Jeep’s 70th birthday throughout 2010 and 2011. Butler is the birthplace of the Jeep. The Bantam Jeep was developed and produced in 1941 by Butler’s American Bantam Car Company in response to the U.S. Army’s request for an all-purpose military vehicle. Nearly 3,000 Jeeps were produced at Bantam’s Butler factory.
To celebrate the Jeep’s 70th birthday, a year-long celebration will begin June 2010 and culminate with the first Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival August 12-14, 2011. The festival will feature off-roading opportunities, historical displays, a Jeep parade/cruise and other events. ”
I sent an email today to the office of Tourism and was surprised to see a response within a couple hours, which included an offer to keep us updated on the festival progress along with this attached pdf brochure.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
“I have an old Willy’s I need to get rid of. Its been stored inside for at least 30 years. I aquired it several years ago, never found the time to do anything with it, and trying to make more room.

If interested, please reply though craigslist, as my email goes directly to my phone.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $875
This looks like a pretty low price for a running CJ-5.
“Jeep runs strong has a 304 fresh rebuilt runs an drive have a clean title. 4×4 works only thing it needs is body secured to frame better it is bolted but could be stronger but is driven as is. asking 875 i have spare parts for jeep. needs radiator an fan but came with an electric fan an recently got a radiator for it. needs master cylinder cuz front brakes dont work the best but still stops! Needs a little work but well worth it”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was an in-person-auction.
No details on the Jeep, though it appears to be missing a radiator, so I suspect it doesn’t run. The auction occurs Saturday, July 31, 2010.
This is a project..
