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 .
Andy shared this dually. I’m surprised it is still for sale.

“1953 CJ 3A Willy’s Jeep. $8,800.00. Can provide more information if interested.”
The tires, rims and flares scream 1980s jeep. Unusual fish hood ornament. I’m sure there’s a story there?

“1954 CJ3B. High hood Willy’s. Original, nice running engine.”
Runs and drives.

“Lot drives, new gastank & tires, PTO Winch, starts easy, restoration project, 98901”
I suspect this is an aftermarket CJ body atop a military chassis. The body has civilian aspects, but the rear cargo area has the boxes necessary to allow the vertical shocks seen on MBs and GPWs.

“Yellow & Black 1942 Jeep Willy. L134 go devil engine * Been stored in our garage * covered * ready for outdoor fun. Many recent upgrades (mirrors, brakes, soft top, rail & more.) Easy to tow ~ fun to drive!”

“Old but still runs.”
This jeep has some odd fenders. It also appears to have some Huffman hubs.

“Done up as a “army prop”. Has a military hood but it is a Civillian Jeep. Clean Tennesee Title 4cyl Motor is unknown. Frame has rust on front crossmember near steering linkage. Transmission doesn’t seem to shift at all. Trans crossmember is out of it. This is a TOTAL PROJECT that does not run, stop or steer. Don’t ask dumb questions. That’s why it’s priced so low. All four tires hold air and it will roll in a straight line. I can help you pull it up onto a trailer. Would be great for a mini golf course prop or yard art. Make a rat rod, fully restore it, let it sit in your yard, use it in a low budget movie, it can be yours for $1500 cash”
One is very rough.

“60 Willy’s pickup clear title doesn’t run”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Roger Martin shared these three postal jeep projects (or parts).
“3 postal jeeps that I’ve totally lost interest in 2 are titled in my name the other one was never titled the shadybowl one I have driven new floors doors working new brakes and tires all the way around had lots of engine and transmission troubles after all the frame off bodywork. One thing after another and now it’s time to sell them extra doors parts one without the cab has a good 2.5 and transmission but I’m getting busy so it’s time someone else takes over”
UPDATE: This was first published October 14, 2019. The videos were dated as 1948, but Bill noted that the actual date of release was 1945.
Brendan, who used to run This-old-jeep, posted this 3-part video back in 2010. The video was produced by Willys-Overland to help sell the new CJ-2A. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them.

I can’t tell if this was a limited production item or a one-off creation. Anyone seen others like this? Currently priced at $199.99 or Make Offer.

“Here is a rare vintage, Willys Overland Jeep Jeepster pen and pen stand. The pen and pen stand are in very good condition. The pen does not write. It stands about 10 3/4 inches tall. The base measures about 3 7/16 inches wide, 2 inches deep, and about 2 1/16 inches tall. I am not sure what the base is made of, it is fairly heavy.
Price dropped from $60,000.

“1957 Jeep Forward Control FC-150. Frame of restoration from the first year. Narrow track axles. 6volt electrical system. 4cyl. 3speed. Every item was restored bumper to bumper back to original. Had the lead counterweight in the back. Full leaf pack on rear. This was a painstakingly meticulous restoration. It even has the bag for windshield washer fluid. I have not come across one of these that has a higher quality restoration.”
This auction will be held at 3276 Springs Hill Rd Salisbury Pa (At The Springs Shop) on May 4th. The top and rear cover look custom. At first I thought the windshield was a CJ-3A, but the round arms suggest it may have been a modified 2A or military windshield. The jeep appears to included a plow.

No battery, so I am guessing this doesn’t run?

“Nice M170, I’ve had it for over 10 years. No time to work on it. It has been converted to 12V. It’s the same length as a CJ6 but it is a military ambulance. The entire drivetrain is in great condition, I have pages of receipts. Located in Watford City.”

It continues to be a busy month. Yesterday felt like a 2-step-forward, 1-step-back kind of day. The new raised garden is about done, as seen below. Still some details to complete, such as adding some plastic sheets at each corner of the raised beds, because, as it turns out, the corrugated sides create gaps at the corners, which allows dirt to fall onto the ground. So, we will need to dig up each corner and add some plastic sheets to stop that. Once we get all the plants in and gravel laid, I’ll take some final pics.
Yesterday morning I spent some time working on the FC. My goal had been to create the cover plate for the mini-gauges and power switch that will sit on the angled area of the dog house.
I cut a raw piece of 14 gauge steel, rounded the edges (not shown), then, to test the size and look, placed the plate on the dog house. That’s when I noticed the plate didn’t lay flat. After testing some flat edges, I eventually concluded that there’s a slight twist in the dog house at the very spot I want to put the gauges. It’s not undoable, but I’d rather the plate sat flat (passenger side is flat).
This pic shows the angle. You can see the slope increase as the angled portion moves to the front.
That problem led to me removing the driver’s seat (for the first time) so I could better evaluate my options.
I eventually concluded that it will take some clamps and braces to straighten it (if even possible). Since i didn’t feel like tackling that project right now, I turned to the driver’s seat.
First, I installed an original driver’s seat just to see how it fits vis-a-vis the steering wheel, which proved to be a comfortable angle (whew).
I removed the seat, then pondered the areas where the seat originally mounted. It was immediately clear that the original driver’s side seat mount areas had been patched and welded. My guess is that the area had been fatigued over the years. In addition, a portion of one seat mount bolt remained in it’s original hole, while the other mount area holes had been filled entirely.

Bill shared an updated article on the Jeepney situation in the Philippines. The push to eliminate Jeepney’s isn’t popular, which isn’t surprising given the cultural significance of them.
