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 .

I see a lot of junkie jeeps out there being sold for high prices right now. I constantly look all over the country at Jeeps and this is well worth what I’m asking for it. I will not take a penny less, so please don’t waste my time with any offers that are less than my asking price!!!!”
It runs.

“Selling my 1957 Willys “Jeep” FC-150 4×4 with a canvas top. It has been sitting on my grandfathers farm for the last 15 years. Now with my grandfathers farm getting sold, I figured I get this gem back home to find someone who can enjoy it and bring it back to its glory. It is a project truck, it does have the stock hurricane F-head (F-134) engine with a 3-speed manual transmission. With a new battery and gas I was able to get it running. The right rear wheel hub was seized due to the brakes being locked up, new hub has been installed. Does have a blowing heater/defroster. I do not have the seats, there is some rust but overall the body and bed is intact. The title has been lost but a quick trip to the DMV we can get the title transferred to you. Hate to get rid of the little truck but I just don’t have the time to start another project.”
This ad notes there are two jeeps, but only one is pictured.

“1969 cj5 all there very minor rust body is not perfect but killer patina and all there it’s got the dauntless v6, turns over freely by hand would probably run, 3 speed, dana 18 single stick offset 44 rear and closed knuckle 30 front. Comes with a very rough m38 for parts that has no motor in it. Both rigs are bill of sale only i bought the lot 3 from idaho and am building one up so id like to pass these two on to someone who wants a project as i have zero time right now. The red one is 95% complete and loaded with tons of spare factory parts. They are rough but have potential to make one decent jeep. Located in bellingham washington. Will include 1 complete pair of m38 axles, and a complete open knuckle cj5 dana 30 as well”
Ran when parked. Has PTO winch and service body.

“This is “Ben”, a 1956 Willys pickup with original service body. Ran when parked. ”
I expect the “Hercules” comment is supposed to read Hurricane. This includes a rear PTO setup with pto shield. Unclear if it runs.

“Willys, Jeep- two (2) 265 lb. farm weights. Refer to pictures for casting quality. Brown- $250.00 (much better quality), Green- $200.00.”
This 34-page May 1951 Form No. SWC1-10M-551 wagon comparison brochure is one I’d never seen before it hit eBay. The size is about 5.5″ by 11″. It’s not in the best of shape, but it’s there and readable. The front page has a rectangle cut out so that the table of contents on page three shows through cover.
I wonder if an equivalent brochure was made for the truck? I doubt anything was made for the universal jeep, as there wasn’t much to compare to it by 1951.
I wasn’t aware that Kaiser Willys put out a series of Commercial and Jeep Sales Bulletins, but I now have examples of at least four of these that I will publish over the next week or so. It’s unclear how many were published or how long this lasted.
This particular example, dated October 08, 1954, welcomed Warn Locking and Automatic hubs to the Willys Special Equipment Line. To the best of my knowledge, it was the first time Willys included hubs in its Special Equipment line. As of 1954, Warn was likely the largest producers of hubs. Free-Lock quickly became the second largest producer of hubs, but that wouldn’t be until 1956 (See Free-Lock Hubs history for more info). To the best of my knowledge, Free-Lock was never added to the Willys Special Equipment Line.
Steve shared this photo from the Just-A-Car-Guy website, which was in turn was shared from a French(?) website. This looks to be a three or four-door Hy-Rail wagon. You can learn more about these at Willyscountry.com.
Andy shared this one. Starting bid is $129.99.

(01/25/2024) This 3B is worth a look. Note that it has a 1956 or later body. No description provided.

Overall this looks in good shape, but the heater isn’t connected and the drain strip is missing from under the hood.

“Up for sell is this 1950 Willys CJ3A. It is mostly original. It is in great shape for its age. Runs and drives well. If you have any questions just ask. Firm on the price. No scams or games.”
Sometimes a body is more trouble than its worth. It runs and drives find without one.

It’s a shame to see this rare Hurst Edition Jeepster Commando. For someone who needs Hurst related parts, this might be an opportunity, but not a whole lot of value here. Based on the serial number of 68632, this is likely a 1970. On this page is a 66357 that has a production date of Feb 1970.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/856760016200837/
“This jeep Commando appears to be a 69 or 70 year; is rough but mostly complete with good hard to find parts, been exposed to the elements for many years, has a soft top that is about torn off, rusted in part of the body upper and lower, seats and interior intact but needs reupholstering, V6 engine, 4 wheel drive, No Title”
This Tuxedo Park IV with a Kelly half cab looks pretty stock from the front, but there’s quite a bit of diamond plate on the inside.

“Willy’s mb with a wide variety of cj parts that make it one of a kind. Current issues are coolent, spark and brakes. This is a project vehicle that needs work in order to run. The owner before me welded the spider gears in the rear axle which makes it un roadworthy until they are replaced. Has a Jeep dauntless odd fire v6 paired with an original Willy’s 3 speed. Has best top seats, bikini top and full soft cab. Superwinch locking hubs in the front.”
