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 .
This might work for someone.

Craig shared this Haggerty video that covers a stainless-bodied jeep that’s been transformed into an electric vehicle. It’s a real nice build. The “battery” that’s been placed in the jerry can holder is pretty clever.
The CJ-5 Camper, with its own axle, always seems a pretty odd and unique build. But, Blaine found some other camper designs, with their own axle, that make the CJ-5 look practical.

Here’s one example:
This DJ-3A convertible looks in great shape. Too bad it doesn’t have the top.

“1962 Jeep Willys FC170 up for sale.
Jeep Collectors and Enthusiasts, this could be your once in a life time chance to own a very rare Jeep truck. The FC170 (and FC150) forward control (over cab) Jeeps were made between 1957 to 1964 they were used for everything any ¾ or 1 ton trucks were used for. I am told Its built on a Jeep CJ6 frame.

The steps have been modified, as has the dash, fenders, and tailgate. This has later model running gear. Could be a good build for jeeping. This also has Cutlas Bulldog hubs.

If you are looking for a truck project, this might be worth a look.
“This 1953 Willys Jeep is a blast from the past, and it is a great package deal with a 1955 parts car. What a fun project for any car enthusiast, or creative soul. The bed has some rust issues but the parts car has a great bed. It has definite character, it could be a great restoration project or a rat rod classic, so many possibilities.”

This wagon includes a gas tank above the passenger side step.

“55 willys wagon. 351w v8 runs good. Three speed manual,original transmission. All new suspension,dual exhaust and tires. Some interior work done have more parts to go on it. No heater still could use TLC. Transfer case does have small leak some brake work. Neat town driver or off road.”
This CJ-5 has a “panic button” installed on the dash. But, what really caught my eye, was the unusual bumper. Dualmatic made bumpers at one point. I wonder if this was one model?
https://denver.craigslist.org/pts/d/denver-willys-jeep/7332571938.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.
Looks like a good price. It’s likely a Bestop.

I bought this jeep from an old man, and I am certain it never spent a night outside. the windows are clear and not faded, no imperfections anywhere, Its like new. You get all the hardware to mount it just like it looks in the photo. Its on an m38 now, not sure what else it fits, you do the research. I see these go for about a grand on line, 350 come get it !

(04/30/2019) Seller notes there are a few minor items that need repairs.
https://miami.craigslist.org/pbc/cto/d/jupiter-willys-jeep-m170-the-original/7319505795.html
“I have decided to let go of my rare M170 Willys Front Line Ambulance. This vehicle is in very good condition and has undergone a comprehensive refreshment with new wiring, a rebuilt engine, new hoses, clamps and fluids, a new top and canvas cushions and it comes with an in-and-out military snorkel kit and a folding stretcher.
The vehicle operates on a 24 volt system with new, twin in-line batteries as well as high and low positons for four wheel drive when taken out of two wheel drive for the pavement. Starts, runs, shifts and stops, just like it should. Note that this vehicle will top out at 50 mph, so it is not meant for the highway.
There are a few minor items that need attention such as fixing the gas gauge and oil temp gauge and possibly replacing the steering wheel (have the correct new one) if desired. Most anything is available through online suppliers. Also, the full enclosure and doors are available as well ($4,500).

(12/09/2020) This project is a mix of parts. The body seems to be a replacement body.

“1946 cj2a project. Built on samurai chassis. Chevy 350, T-90, Dana 18. Everything fully cleaned and painted. Needs seats and wiring.”
Not a perfect body (has some floor rust), but seems in decent shape. Has Kelly hubs.
https://nmi.craigslist.org/atq/d/lake-leelanau-1948-willys-cj2a/7333479368.html
“Nice fairly solid old flat fender that runs, drives and stops. Luzon Red appears to be the original color but was repainted long ago and a little body work was done as well.
Comes with extra tranfer case and transmision and proper Carter WO carb (has a aftermrket carb that is finnicky currently installed). Converted to 12v. New tires and new battery.
It seemed approriate to add old growth Redwood planks fastened to the seats, it glows a bit I think. The key has a prevoius owners name engraved on it (Larry’s). I’ve noticed that it has two bullet holes in the body. At one point in its life it was on a yacht and was craned on and off to land and boat.
Not willing to negotiate price nor am I looking for trades. Cash only
Seroius inquires only
Only willing to let go to another enthusist.”
