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 .
Here’s an odd ball toy that the seller suggests is from Marx. I can’t confirm that. The seller is only asking $5 for it.

“Vintage Marx Willys Jeep. Plastic that has been painted. Axles and wheels turn.”
The jeep looks great. It’s sporting a Kelly half cab. I met the seller a few years ago at a non jeep event.

With three days left, the price of this non-running jeepster is currently at $650. Andy points out that for most folks, retrieving this from the island of Nantucket will be time consuming and extra expensive.

This odd thing includes an original sticker indicating it was sold by Sahlberg Equipment out of the Seattle area. At first I thought it was some kind of Hi-Way mower?

“Weird and rare jeep 4.2L (258) straight 6. Ran when parked 2 years ago Non running project Has title. Need a trailer or work out a way to tow it. Pm with questions”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/25/2024) Looks like a solid FC.

“For sale 1958 Jeep FC170 has a 289 engine that runs good with new carburetor. Has a warn overdrive. Like new tires new speedometer and cable. Also has an extra shifter dash a 4 barrel intake.. Clean pa title. Message me with any questions”
Looks pretty solid. With three days to go the bid price is $450.

This is an incomplete 2A. With three days to go the current bid price is $450. It’s listed as a 1948, but the grille suggests it is a 1946 or early 1947.
“1948 Willys CJ2A 4×4 Jeep, 4-cyl gas, manual, (Exempt from Odometer Disclosure – Reads 55,434 miles) True Mileage Unknown (Not Running, Project Vehicle, Missing Parts, Drivetrain Condition Unknown, Serial Number Plate on Firewall Is Painted & Difficult to Read) (Title Branded Odometer Discrepancy) (Vehicles have been sitting for an extended period of time. Some were enjoyed by the estate and other were future projects.”
This lacks a title.
“1950 Willys-Overland Jeepster Sport Utility Vehicle, s/n 473VJ1327, 4-cyl gas, manual, (Exempt from Odometer Disclosure – Reads 69,833 miles) Estate Sale Vehicle (No Title – Sold For Parts Only) (Not Running, Cranks, Drivetrain Condition Unknown, Rust Damage, Bad Passenger Side Rear Tire, Does Not Hold Air)”
Looks great externally, but does need a brake job and a tune up per the seller. No interior or engine photos posted.

“69 Kaiser CJ6 long wheel base frame off aircraft satin indestructible paint. Zero rust anywhere. Pristine body. Extra gallon if you want to do the fender wells and engine bay. Original 67,000 miles. Original Buick odd-fire Dauntless 225ci V6. Last year before AMC. Last year for CA black plates. Fender well headers with dual glass packs. Zero modifications or cuts. Pristine body and floors. Rare (original) 60/40 split front seats and original back seat. White vinyl with red pin striping. Five original wheels (not repros) Four brand new 235/75/15 mud terrains with zero miles. Spare has a vintage period correct mud terrain for looks. I wouldn’t drive on it. Starts, runs and drives perfect (but sitting in dry storage for about a year) so could use a tune up and oil change and battery. Mechanically it will need a brake job. That’s where my restoration ended. No carpet or bedliner on the floors so you can see they are perfect. Clean title and reg in my name. New plates”
This wagon is listed as a 1961, but looks more like a 1950 or earlier model.
“1961 Willys-Overland Jeep Station Wagon Sport Utility Vehicle, 4-cyl gas, manual, (Exempt from Odometer Disclosure – Reads 96,512 miles) True Mileage Unknown (Not Running, Drivetrain Condition Unknown, Flat/Bad Tires, Project Vehicle, Rust Damage, Rusted Through Cab in Areas, Missing Parts/Glass) (Title Branded Odometer Discrepancy) (Vehicles have been sitting for an extended period of time. Some were enjoyed by the estate and other were future projects.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.
Not surprisingly, this one sold quickly. It’s just a reminder that there are still jeeps at reasonable prices to be found out there!

“This vintage wind-up toy is perfect for collectors who appreciate the craftsmanship of the past. Made by Marx, this tin litho Smokey Sam Fire Chief Jeep Whoopie Car is a must-have for any vintage toy enthusiast. The brand, Marx, is known for producing high-quality toys that stand the test of time. This particular toy is vintage and has been used, but it still retains a lot of its original charm. It features a wind-up mechanism that spins the fire chief’s head. This toy has certainly been loved, and there’s some minor damage to the fire hat, front of the Jeep, and ladder on one side (see photos).”

“These hubcaps are very rare, not sure what year they are from but I’m guessing from the 60s. They do have some dings and marks on them but overall in good condition. These are driver quality parts.”
The body is atop a Ford chassis. Note the unusual column steering mod! Thanks to Andy for sharing.

Thanks to Roger Martin for sharing these Saturday morning photos from the Bantam Festival’s jeep history display. You can see Roger’s M-677 and his FC Fire Truck in a couple photos.
Roger Martin shared these photos he took today (Friday) at this year’s Bantam Jeep Festival.
Chris, aka thegrilleguy, is selling a variety of things at this year’s Bantam Jeep Festival, so drop by and say hello.
This 22 page brochure is something I found on a non-ebay auction. I had to buy it with some other stuff I already had, but I couldn’t pass up this rare (perhaps 1-of-a-kind) brochure. I hope it helps someone down the line.
This weekend is the Great Willys Picnic (in Kempton, PA) and Bantam Fest (in Butler, PA).
This tiny LRDG-styled lighter is something I’d been keeping an eye out for. It’s smaller than I expected, just slightly larger than a biz card (or in this case a Fred Smiley’s old club card, which is something that accompanied a different purchase). I forgot to take a photo of the bottom, but there’s no identifying information there.
These just sold on eBay for $9.99. This CJ-2A was equipped with a rear PTO.
