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 .
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500.
(10/28/2022) Looks like a parts FC. No title.

“1961 jeep fc 170. It has the original super hurricane in it. Definitely needs body work but frame is in great shape and engine turns over. It also comes with another cab for replacement. It’s a project I’ll never get to. $2,500 shoot me a message for any more info”
Te eight-page 1964 Jeep News Volume 10 Number 6 begins with a record retail sales announcement. These revenue numbers were primarily driven by the three models shown at the bottom of page one, including the Tux Park CJ-5, the Wagonneer, and the Gladiator. Increasing numbers of dealers also helped. Page two mentioned how the golf partnership was already providing beneficial, with inquiries numbering in the hundreds arriving at dealers. Page three shows three of the new KJC-approved “ad mats” available for dealers to place in local newspapers.
Page four highlights a dealer in Ohio that tries to sell a Meyer plow with every jeep sale, claiming it isn’t that hard to do. Page five provides the results of a dealer contest. Page six shares the news of the National Search and Rescue group and their recent election. Page eight turns international, with pics and captions from around the world. On page eight you’ll find the results of Boulder, Colorado’s, 4th annual Jeep-O-Rama. The winner of a brand new CJ-5 was Donnie Beyer, whose father owned a jeep dealership. Pretty good for a 17-year-old kid! Lower on the page is a DJ-3A with an unusual door and top setup. Finally, on the lower right, is a fairly well-know pic of Barb Eden (right) and Shelley Fabares with a DJ-3A Surrey from the movie “Ride the Wild Surf” (see trailer at bottom).
(yes, a Surrey makes a quick appearance in this trailer):
The four-page February 1962 Jeep Service and Parts News wasn’t all that exciting, lol, but is timely considering it is now February 2024 (yes, 62 years have passed!). Page three mentions a couple service bulletins that can be found at the bottom of this post. Page four mentions the Pedal Slack Adjuster Kit, which is also discussed at the CJ-3B page: https://cj3a.info/tech/pedalslack.html
Service Bulletin No. 503:
Fleet Service No. FL-119 (Same info would be on Service Bulletin No. 504, but I don’t have that one):
For several years, Pascal operated the JeepWillysWorld.com, a website he used to collect documentation and discuss vintage jeep topics. Around 2017, it appears he stopped posting. Fortunately for us, the site remains active, because in 2015 it turns out he posted a manual of Parts and Accessories Bulletins (through 1965 roughly), the very bulletins I was looking for a few days ago. You can read through the manual or download it as well.
Here’s the first page of the Emanuel:
All these jeep and off-road club patches came from two purchases on ebay: $25 for them all! The two large ones were likely for the back of club jackets. Clubs named include from top to bottom: Tri-State Four Wheelers, Minnesota Go-4-Wheelers, INC., International Jeep-Club Frankfurt M., Cape Fear Four Wheelers, Hawley MTN. Ridge Runners, 2×4’s Sandpoint, Idaho, Midlands Four Wheel Drive Club, Trail Blazers 4 Wheel Drive Allentown, PA., All 4×4 Terrain Gang (assume WI), and the Pioneer Valley Ridge Runners 4WD Club,
This could be worth a look.

(09/24/2023) Has a Meyer-branded hardtop with the PTO and T-98. Lacks a title.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/276023585241536
“1967 Jeep CJ6 model and is pretty much original. Has the 4 Cylinder with the T98 four speed with a rear facing PTO output. Has a warn winch from the 80’s up front and the original Jeep hardtop. I am the third owner of it and have only added a new fuel tank to it and a BDS 2.5” spring lift with new shocks. Outside of that it is untouched since last owner. I have both the original Willy’s wheels as well as the cj5 renegade wheels that go with it. Runs and drives good just not fast. Issues I know of that it has: Surface rust on driver floor. Passenger door needs to be tinkered with can only be opened from inside. Rear seat is not on original brackets and needs cove Need to file for lost Title as previous owner lost it and I have never taken the time to go take care of it. Have all paperwork (registration and maintenance) from two previous owners dating back to 1977.”
Unclear how much value is here. All are rusty.

(01/21/2024) Mike notes that this looks to be a Mitsubishi CJ3B-J4. This has a variety of updates.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1563048414507194
“Selling a 1956 classic Jeep Willies CJ 5 3B it starts runs and drives, which is a lot of fun.

(01/29/2024) I haven’t seen any of these selling for $60k, but it does look like a solid specimen.

“Solid jeep ambulance runs and drives great 4×4 only serious inquiries they are going for 60000 and more great investment or father and son or grandfather and grandson project”

UPDATE: I’ve added a few Good Humor truck pics from Mike at the bottom of the post.
This eight-page issue of Jeep news Volume 10 Number 5begins on page one with KJC announcing it would be co-sponsoring the World Series of Golf, which was the first sports tie-in of which I’m aware. In addition, TB commercials for KJC would begin appearing on CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite. I wonder if this rise in visibility was the result of the ad agency KJC brought on board? Pages two and three continue the sponsorship and commercials threads.
Page four shares the news that 16-year-old Howard Bartoo, Jr., won the 1964 ‘Jeep’ Derby held at Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. Also on page four is a photo of Good Humor’s new jeep trucks, with specially made insulated bodies by the Hackney Brothers body Company, from Wilson, North Carolina. Just below the Good Humor trucks is a photo of a Deibler Trackless Train, produced by the company of the same name out of Manhattan, Kansas. The train’s “Engine” is a jeep chassis with a special body atop it.
Much of page five covers the three CJ-6s jeeps used for tourists at Chimney Rock Park in North Carolina. You can find more pics of the jeeps here. Page six takes readers around the world for a few stories.
Page seven introduces the Meyer Products Jeep Cabs to dealers, though not mentioned was their previous history as Orrville cabs. Page eight contains a variety of photos.
These Good Humor trucks have seen better days! Thanks to Mike for sharing them. He notes, “These were from about 15 years ago, the ones in the driveway was in Pa, he was going to restore, and never got around to it.”
This four-page August 1961 Jeep Service and Parts News issue begins, as usual, with discussions of $$$. Page two notes the important of the correct type and amounts of grease for the cam. Curiously, page two also requests dealer service departments review the 1000-mile inspection information for the FJ-3A Fleetvan, specifically Service Bulletin No. 539. I can’t remember another model mentioned so specifically; Unfortunately, I don’t have that bulletin.
Page four highlights some of the early products from Cutlas (Cutlas had just formed circa 1960, it’s president having previously left the same role at Free-Lock .. still don’t know the reasons for the change).
Never heard of this club. I was unable to locate any info about the club. My guess is that it intended to be mounted on a vehicle.
View all the information on eBay
“Vintage rare 1970’s Hells Canyon Four Wheelers club sign from western Idaho and Eastern Oregon. Made of metal. Measures 12” x 9”. It does have patina, wear, scratching, and has never been cleaned.”
Not sure how vintage this unusual belt buckle is.
View all the information on eBay
“See pics for details on this JEEP belt buckle. Has enamel color. Not sure if it is brass or just a heavy metal.”
Here’s a pretty complete convertible, though no indication of a top and the top side bits are missing. Given the KS 0-8 speedo, I’d say this is a pretty early one. It’s missing the filler in the back; maybe it no longer has the rear tank?
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2615782251930936
“1956 Jeep Willis. Original three speed. Original motor, not four-wheel-drive Flat head 4 cylinder  New paint job  She is an oldie but a goodie! Make on offer, not interested in trades at this time.”
I’m not sure if this is intended as a drag racer to just a fancy road rig.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1636051280533945
“1951 willys jeep, sbc engine, don’t know anything about what’s inside it. But it sounds and runs really good. 2sp power glide with shift kit and 2000 stalh converter. 10 bolt posi rear, unknown gear ratio. Was built to show, runs great and will do 70 mph on highway. If you’re looking for something different that wins at pretty much every show it goes to then this is the one. 22,000 obo. May consider trades.”
Might be worth a look.
