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 .
Has lots of mods.

title status: clean

Selling a 1957 FC170 (clear NJ title) that I’ve fully built out over the last year. I’ve done an insane amount of work to the truck to get it to be an awesome driver. Will go down the highway at 65 with zero problems. Everyone will stop you to chat. Everyone will pull out their phones to take a picture. Everyone will want a ride. Only have 500 miles on it since the full build. If you want to pretty it all up, feel free – I like the rat-jeep look, but it’s different for everyone. Overall, in very good condition with way less rust than most FCs. All glass is good except driver door window has a crack (that window is always down waving back to the excited wrangler drivers anyway). Asking 22K OBO.
Modifications include:
– Small Block Chevy (making 400hp)
– Turbo 400 transmission
– Dana 70 in the rear
– Custom leaf springs from Alcan
– Completely new fuel system (tank, electric pump, carb, lines)
– Complete new cooling system to handle the SBC
– Transmission cooler

– 100% new wiring throughout
– LED brake lights
– Full array of Autometer Gauges including GPS speedometer
– All new 2.5” dual exhaust system with crossover and Flowmaster Super 70s.
Please feel free to ask any questions and I’ll be happy to get right back to you! This is an amazing jeep and the buyer will be thrilled with their new toy. If you’re in NJ and buying the jeep, you should be able to keep the amazing custom plates – these are this jeep’s actual license plates.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900.

Brandon bought this cool, vintage jeep club patch from the late 1960s/early 1970s at an estate sale. I can’t remember ever seeing the club logo before, but the group is documented in the PNW4WDA Region One roster booklet from 1972.
As the image suggests, the Boondockers was a club based out of the south Puget Sound area of Washington, mostly Auburn. As of 1972 the club had 11 members, most of whom had CJ-5s.
UPDATE: Sold Was $9500.

“I have an incomplete Jeep CJ6 that I bought off my uncle with a clean title. I had big dreams and ambitions for it but currently need the cash and the space in my garage.
It’s as is, my uncle told me the last time he messed with it the motor still turned over but that was 10 years ago. It is basically a chastity with motor, transmission and a few other parts.
This would make a great project for either restoration or a one hell of a rat rod mud buggy.

The list of modification is:
1. CJ3A Body came from a DJ3A (two wheel drive). Restored 11 years ago white exterior with Rhino Lining inside. Assembled after painting and spraying the liner so a very clean look.

Thanks to Roger Martin for sharing this unusual vehicle. The buy-it-now price on this highly modified GPW/truck is $14,995. I’m not clear how the seller arrived at the price, but the vehicle itself is a whimsical item that seems to need some work.
“This is a very special vehicle I found a few months ago that came from a ranch in eastern Montana. Perhaps some handy rancher wanted a Jeep pickup before Jeep ever offered one. Perhaps he could not afford or justify the cost of one and decided to build one from a WW II Jeep, an extra WW II Jeep frame, an early Dodge pickup cab and the front of an as of yet unknown early steel pickup box.
This truck appears to have a chassis made out of a pair of WW II Jeep chassis that were cut off and butt welded together in the center to make a chassis that has a wheelbase just over 2 feet longer at 105-1/2”. That is 25-1/2″ longer than the stock WW II Jeep chassis that has an 80″ wheelbase. Someone then added a cab from a 1933 to early 1935 Dodge pickup or 1-1/2 ton truck so they would have some weather protection from the sometimes wild weather here in Montana.
What really impressed me about this truck the moment I first saw it is the amount of work some reasonably skilled craftsman went to to build a 4 wheel drive pickup out a tiny WW II Jeep. I have seen literally hundreds of WW II and later Jeeps in my life so far that have had cabs added to the original Jeep body but I have never seen one that had a pickup or truck cab installed on it like this truck has. Add to that the fact that the cab on this truck has the very attrractive backward opening “suicide” doors from the early 1930’s and one has a very special vehicle.
Not only was a completely different cab installed on this “stretched” Jeep chassis, but that cab was subjected to some very interesting modifications. The most obvious modification is the very special rounded cowl that adapted the cowl of the Dodge cab to the back of the flat Jeep cowl right bvehind the Jeep hood. I am very sure that that cowl adapter was not hand formed but I have not yet figured out what that specially formed piece of sheet metal may have been used on originally.
Please also notice the very significant fact that the as of yet unknown Jeep builder adapted a “V” windshield to the front of the Dodge cab that originally came with a flat whidshield. I have yet to figure out what vehicle that “V” windshield originally came in. Please help me here if you possibly can. Another modification to the Dodge truck cab would be the fact that it has a steel insert in the top of the roof rather than the original fabric roof that it came with when new. I have seen hundreds of Model A Ford and other similar vehicles from the 20’s and 30’s that had similar steel roofs installed when the original fabrick roofs went bad.
