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 .

The shipping on this from Argentina would be a killer — However, I can’t say I’ve ever seen these for sale in the US. You can learn more about the JA-3UB here (though the translation is rough).
Here is an example of a IKA Jeep with an unusual soft top.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
This is very cool, though the seller is a bit off on their history. I’d like some better pics.
“This is a Willy’s Jeep. After the war there was too many left over so Willy’s started to put implements on them.I think that it is in the era of the 50’s This is a ditch witch. It will need to be picked up.”
This looks like a fair price.

It is missing some parts.

(12/29/09) It needs to be completed (no seat at the minimum).

UPDATE; **SOLD** Was $1450.
Bob spotted this one. I’m unsure if this runs or not, but it looks like it might.
“4×4, 4cyl motor, has windshield, needs restoration,”
This looks too long to be a 150 .. I’m guessing it is a 170.
“1958 Jeep Fc-150 Hurricane 6 cyl 4 speed”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
The gun kind of cracks me up ….

UPDATE: Price dropped to $2000
(11/28/2009) The engine doesn’t work. If it’s only a little issue, then this might be a good deal.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
(06/29/2010) This was rebuilt in 1986, but then work stopped(?) when it came time to rebuild the engine (as best as I can figure out). I can’t tell if it runs or not.
“Originally restored / completed in 1986; Been sitting every since with plans of continuing engine projectl; currently has 4 cylinder motor; 3 speed transmission w/ overdrive”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
(06/29/2010) The serial number of 130476 suggests this is a 1947 rather than a 1946.

(05/17/2010) No doubt this is actually a ’45 or earlier.

This looks like a good candidate for a restoration project.
“1953 Willy’s truck small block chevy engine, the rest of the drive train is stock including the Warn overdrive. This truck is rust free and very solid, easy resteration. I have owned this truck for a long time and it has spent a good bit of it’s life in a garage.

If all that is wrong is the fuel pump, then this might be a great deal.

I wonder if there are any pics of this used in the brewery. And, I wonder what they did with it.
