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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
Bill shared this article link about Vigilante 4×4 in Texas, but I forgot to post it last night. The company focuses on restomods of classic jeeps.
Here’s the article: https://newatlas.com/automotive/vigilante-4×4-love-of-jeep/
Oh wow, this one shouldn’t last long!

“1954 Willys CJ2A (civilian jeep) production number 10666, runs and drives, original “go devil” motor, this is the very first production run of the CJ models, bill of sale only, it’s not on DMV books.”
This refurbed FC looks in good shape for the price. Note the non jeep rear fenders.

“1959 Restored Jeep Willys FC with a 289 small block …. Have to see and you fall in love with it…”
Over the last few weeks readers have sent several gifts my way, so I wanted to thank folks. In late August, after we pondered naming the Alpine Coach the “Batmobile” (given we found a bat in it), Alaska Paul and the Goddess Deborah sent us a set of hanging bat lights and other bat related accessories. They will make a great evening addition to the coach.
A few weeks later, Michael kindly sent me a couple hot wheels jeeps, neither of which I had. So, a big thanks to him for that.
Finally, yesterday I received something from TJ I’ve wanted for years, but never got around to getting for myself: An aluminum finned transfercase pan. It’s thicker and stouter than I expected. I’ll install it on Biscuit when I get to working on it.
Roger Martin is hoping to find a set of 1960s front hubcaps with the hole in them. He currently has the hubcaps as shown in the pic below, but would like to add some selective hubs to the front of the jeep. You can email Roger at rogerjm55 @ gmail.com (remove the spaces from around the @).
This jeep lived its unused-life in a heated garage. This jeep only has 1500 miles and that’s believable given the condition shown in the pics. Thanks to John for sharing this one.

“Purchased new by Rhode Island-based Scarpetti Oldsmobile for exclusive use as a snowplow, a letter from dealership owner Edward Scarpetti indicates that the odometer’s current claim of around 1,500 miles since new is to be absolutely believed.
A lifetime of storage inside a heated garage—except during snowfall—is evident in the exceptional original condition of the well-preserved paint and overall patination. Both the dealership’s hand-lettering and white-wall off-road tires are believed to be original as well, alongside the rarely preserved metal hardtop from Koenig Iron Works of Houston, Texas. The white model 520 “Jiffy Full Cab” top features removable doors and a built-in, high-powered backup light for plow duty, and presents a delightful contrast to the Jeep’s bright President Red paint.
Other than the removable hardtop and a period-correct, dash-mounted Oldsmobile badge from the late 1950s, this CJ -5 is unmodified and features its original 2.2-liter (134 ci) powertrain. CJs were roundly the most capable factory off-roaders of the 20th century, and this CJ-5 is no different with its two-speed 4×4 transfer case and locking front hubs, all backed by the original three-speed manual transmission—more than enough hardware to tackle any early CJ rally or enter sympathetic service as a ranch shuttle.”
Here’s a first-year CJ-5 with under 50,000 miles. This has the early 0-10 King Seeley speedometer. This is a tempting one…

“Cool old jeep Willy’s cj5 in running and driving condition. Odo shows 49332 miles on the inline 4. Only surface rust, nothing eating through. Meticulously taken care of by my uncle, used as his ranch car in California. Cool patina, flip down front window, classic.”
The seller doesn’t mention it, but this appears to have a replacement body.

“This is a 1953 Willys CJ3B jeep. Total rust free jeep with some goodies on it. Restored 20 years ago and rebuilt motor, Hurricane inline 4, Runs like a sewing machine. Custom front bumper to hold the rare winch Warn 8274, has Warn locking hubs, Warn overdrive. Custom rollbar with jerry can. 3 speed trans. Good clutch. 4×4 works great. I currently drive this jeep daily to the store etc. Great little jeep for around town and crawling in the mountains. It gets attention everywhere. Comes with a bikini top and a full black tiger soft top and soft doors. I also have some original parts that came off it as well.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(09/17/2024) If I had more time for projects, I would consider snagging this. This may be the first uninstalled body I’ve seen.
