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: Price dropped to $16,500.

“947 Jeep Willy’s has a 1970s Ford v6 motor warn winch no rust at all very clean runs great everything works has three speed transmission and over drive interior and exterior are clean also has two gas tanks and much more”
This has been listed for a while. I include it here as the jeep has one of the rare CJ-5 aftermarket-angled dashes.

“1957 FC 150. My late father purchased this Jeep when it was a couple years old. It has spent the last 50 plus years in the same place. It needs a lot of TLC but is complete with a clear title. Original F head 134 engine. The side shift T90 transmission was replaced by a new factory unit in the 70’s. Original Dana 18 transfercase. Stock Wagner 11×2 manual adjust brakes. 5.38:1 axle gears. Floor boards are rusted out and it has more than a few dents. Original paint and no bondo.

Not sure how much value is here.

Bold price. Lots of good detail work. This may have some DJ-3A parts.
“Ls chevy motor Running Ecm computer rearend 9″ ford”
Blaine spotted this narrow-track FC for sale. It’s listed as a 1960, but I suspect that’s just a place holder year. The seller supposedly has an interested buyer, but the ad is still up as of this morning.

“Came from an Estate Sale from a Farm in Eastern Oregon! Willy’s Forward Control in pretty good shape. Does have rust in drivers door and some above windshield on drivers side. Mostly surface rust on the rest. Truck is missing rear fenders and engine cover, all of which can be easily fabricated. Truck is complete with minimal rust and has original 4 cylinder engine and all running gear.
You dont see many of these up for grabs, and they are so cool! Asking $7500 OBO. Clean Title in Hand!”
Looks like it was a nice build at some point.

“Cj6 frame $500.00 o.b.o.”
UPDATE: This video is making the rounds on FB, again, so, I figured I’d repost it.
Original Post March 2017: Listed as a 1940s promotional film, the inclusion of CJ-5s and the exclusion of DJs and FCs suggests to me it was created in 1955. There’s an extended look at a cargo personnel carrier near the end of the video There are also a variety of specialized equipment and hardtops shown.
Sam spotted this photo with an 1946-1947 CJ-2A (and other photos) at the Digital North Carolina archives. According to the description, the photo shows “Van and George Watson hauling seed corn to dryer plat at Watson Seed Farms INC. with World War II Surplus Willy’s Jeep. Watson Seed Farms had 2 jeeps.”
https://lib.digitalnc.org/record/8919#
This article and photo was published in the September 25th, 1943, issue of the Calgary Herald.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
Has an unusual roll bar set up. Appears worth a look.
“1946 Willys CJ2a. It may not look pretty but it runs well. It has new tires, wiring, gauges, clutch and throw out bearing, brakes and brake lines and hoses. The steering box has been rebuilt, and a new battery, plugs wires, points and dist. cap. Radiator has been cleaned and new fluid. New brake lights and working turn signals. It has a refurbished windshield wiper motor, and new windshield glass along with many other new parts too numerous to list. The engine is a L -134 flathead. It is currently tagged and insured with a clean N.C. title”
Not a bad price given the amount of work that’s been done. Still, it’s only a 2WD vehicle. It does have a good looking Kelly hardtop.

Looks in decent shape and includes extra rims/tires.
“$1,850 – Or Best Offer
For a 75-year-old trailer, this one is in pretty excellent shape. This is either a 1946 or 1947 Bantam T3-C 1/4 ton trailer. I’ve owned it for a couple of years now, with the intention to turn it into a overland like trailer.
I have an extra set of rims with military style tires, but all these tires need to be replaced, the rubber is pretty old on these. All the rims are in inner tube style rim as well. The bolt pattern is 5×5.5″ with a hub opening of a hair over 4.75.”

The only description is “rum”. Does it run on “rum”? Do you need “rum” to drive it?
