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 Willys News issue was memorable for me because when Hugo Vidal was visiting our home from Brazil in 2017, prior to the Alaska trip, I shared some of the Willys News issues with him. He thoroughly enjoyed looking through them because he recognized some of the sales people. When he saw Hickman Price’s photo on the front page, he said, “Oh him, I remember”. That is when I realized that the history I’d collected was a history he’d experienced!
Diego’s father bought this jeep (1958 CJ-5) and trailer in Argentina in the late-1950s/early-1960s. The trailer lacks data plates and Diego has no idea who manufactured it. I don’t recognize it. Does anyone else?
Mud’s a pain, but better than freezing temps that soldiers had to deal with during the winters.

If the floor patches aren’t too bad, this is worth a look.
“For sale I have a nice example of a 1956 Willys CJ5. This is running, driving, Jeep that is in good condition for a 64 year old vehicle. It runs, drives, shifts, and stops like an original 1956 CJ5.
The drive train includes the original L134 Willys Hurricane 4 cylinder, original T-90 three speed transmission, original T-18 transfer case (High/Low), Dana 25 front axle, and Dana 44 rear axle. The transmission shifts smoothly and the clutch operates as expected. The front axle has locking hubs. The electrical system has been converted to 12v.
The tub does have rust, some of which has been addressed by a previous owner’s DIY repairs. The rust is primarily in the floor and associated braces. However, this does not affect the drivability.

Looks like there’s $450 worth of parts here to me. Appears to have a set of Cutlas hubs.
“This Jeep has 7k put into the internal components (transmission was new from Kaiser Willy’s back in 2008, I did each wheel/brakes) jeep wouldnt start 10 years ago and has been sitting since… engine turns over last time I checked a fairly short while ago. I think it was a bad solenoid, since the engine turned freely. I don’t have the funds right now to continue this project, so my loss is your gain.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
Looks solid, but a few things aren’t original.

The body looks good in the pics, but I’d check out that driver’s side front frame rail, as to me it appears to angle outward. Still, there could be value here.

Chris stopped to see this FC (equipped with a rear PTO and gearbox) and provided the following review:
“I looked at this today (12/27/19):
– The floors are rotting through.
– The drawbar is welded on.
– Some exterior parts are missing from the cab.
– Strangely has FC170 nameplates on the cab corners but it is definitely a wide-track FC150 with the F-134.
– Lots of body repairs with riveted panels
– No title, no governor, no bed, no other parts except what you see.
– The PTO was obviously added later as the shifter is outside the cab.
– The transfer case shift levers are all missing (mount is still there).
-Gentleman selling says it has not ran in probably 10 years but that he used to use it to mow a field.”

“This is a Forward Control Jeep turned into a tractor. It has beefed up springs, a rear Power Take-Off with an agri splined shaft, and an electric fan to enhance cooling at slow speeds. Has not run in years, tires are shot. Would make a great enclosed cab mower, or could be fitted with a backhoe.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3500.

I don’t remember where I obtained this unique flyer, but I don’t think I ever scan and posted it. I’d guess it is from around 1955. It’s quite later, approximately 11″x20″.
If you collect prototype images and other things, the unusual card in the middle of the three below would be a cool find.
