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: Still Available.

(01/03/2024) This later model CJ-3B appears in good shape.

Joe-in-Mesa tells me this will be the biggest AMVCC show yet! I wish I could attend, but I’m busy with things around here right now. Learn more here: http://www.armytrucks.org/
Joe wrote, “This year promises to be a truly great one, with over 100 military vehicles on display representing every era from the World War One to the Global War on Terror. There’s a Swap Meet of militaria, surplus and parts for sale, plus Food Trucks! Luke AFB is setting up a cool display. We’ll even have the large towed models of both the USS Arizona battleship and USS Phoenix submarine on hand. Come on out; buy a T-shirt and raffle tickets. Help support both our non-profit Military Vehicle Club AND Dogs4Vets (the American Service Animal Society).”
It seems I neglected to post three Jeep News issues from 1959. So, here’s the first one, an eight-page issue from June of 1959. One page one, apart from dealer info, an article shared the news that several gatherings of jeeps would tour the Colorado Rockies as part of the “Rush to the Rockies” Colorado Centennial celebration during the summer of 1959 (an event detailed here).
Page two includes a story of Roy Nickerson and his family’s trip from the tiny town of Smelterville, Idaho, to Toledo to see how jeeps were made and to then drive six vehicles back to their Nickerson Brother’s Willys Dealership in Idaho. Page three tells how then Baltimore Colt’s fullback Alan “The Horse” Ameche participated in a Jeep television commercial (I couldn’t locate the commercial online).
Page four shows some images and stories from the 1959 Tulsa Oil Show Jeep Exhibit. Page five includes a reference to a new, easy-to-install Capstan winch from Ramsey. Page six highlights the large number of jeeps plying the Atlantic Coast-line, including at least two fire trucks. Page seven discusses the Etowah County ‘Jeep’ Club, which doubled as a civil defense unit. Page eight shares pics from the beaches of North Caroline, where jeeps proved popular for fishermen.
We’ve discussed the Transport Motor Company, out of California, a few times. Clint reminded me that Farmjeep.com published a wonderful overview document of the TMC Farm and Industrial Equipment. Clint added his thoughts about the equipment in a comment at the bottom of this post.
Here is the full document: https://www.farmjeep.com/lifts/other-hydraulic-lifts/transport-motor-company-tmc-hydraulic-lift/
What caught my eye was TMCs body extension, a full-width body extension that attached to the back of vintage jeeps. I’ve documented the extension several times, but didn’t know what company made it. It turns out, some of those full-body extensions are from TMC. (here is my compendium of document 1/4 extensions)
The February 1960 Jeep Service and Parts News is another four-pager. One item on page three that caught my eye was FC-170 frame re-inforcement that became effective with 61568-17824 and 61568-13-10417. Prior to that, a May 1959 (I don’t have) issued announced a kit that was available for frame reinforcement.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
(01/23/2024) Mike shared this good price on an early tux park.
“1964 Jeep CJ5A Tuxedo Park Mark IV
51,602 miles, F head 4 cyl engine runs well, 3 speed manual, Warn hubs, new brake system and much work done. Has some oil leaks and needs body work. Includes original owners manual, shop manual, sales literature, and some parts.
NC title, driven occasionally for 3 summers.
Relatively rare, 7000 built of 70,000 CJ5s built over 4 year period. Unique enough to have a dedicated parts list and shop manual.
Sold as “a new kind of sports car”.
It is a CJ5, 4 wheel drive, but with various unique features such as:
1.Chrome trim and bumpers
2. Bendix servo brakes, much larger than standard
3. Single lever transfer case
4. Column shift
5. 2/3, 1/3 split seat
6. Alternator
It is an interesting, fun vehicle, in my wife’s family since new. It deserves to be restored”
This may have potential.

“1960 cj-5. Runs and drives well, but burns oil. Has rust spots due to its age, but not overwhelming. Sad to see it go, but do not have the time to work on it. Asking $6,000 obo. Would be interested in trading for a dual sport bike.”
Runs and drives.

“In good condition, runs good, tires & wheels like new & price is negotiable. ”
This has some updates.

It’s supposed to run and drive.

“1952 WILLYS JEEP Aftermarket F-Hurricane motor Great running Jeep that you’re going to create unforgettable memories in. This baby tows up to 1500 lbs. Everything works! So much fun to drive!”
This hasn’t been run since 2019.

“1948 Willys Jeep, V8, ran when parked in November 2019. Believe it is a 50’s era 265 v8. It has rust and has been sitting for 4 plus years. Old man had aspirations to restore and rebuild, time has passed with nothing done. Needs work, cool rig.”
John spotted these four rims that look in reasonable shape.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/904758524329546
“One set of wheels left for Willys Jeep to sell. These have no tires on them. Good around valve stem area and lug nut areas.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000.
(12/28/2023) Seller says it has rust, but I can’t tell how bad it is.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1085701379522460/
“I have a 1946 Willy’s flat fender with a dauntless V6, 3 speed transmission split shift transfer case.. tires r good, runs great. I’ve driven it from Delhi to calaveras co and back with no problems. It does need paint and has some rust, I started patching rust already in the main spots but the salt from the Idaho roads really took a toll on the body. But it’s still a cool jeep. Nothing a little paint can’t cover up 😂. Also needs seats, I have a back seat but need front seats.. also have a hard top for it.. I hate to sell it but things got bad for me real quick and need the money.. I’m asking $4000- and probably won’t go down from that price. May be open to trade. Lmk. What u have. Please no junk. I want Something running. Jeep is registered as well”
It’s a project.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(12/30/2023) This lacks a title and doesn’t run at the moment.

“Old Jeep Willie that is a good project car. This car does not start as of now (ignition / key problems), but it did run a few years ago when I drove it. I do not have the title either – asking $4000 OBO”
The 1963 issue of Jeep News Volume 9 Number 5 was eight pages. The entire issue covers “The Greatest Show on Earth”, a short-lived series back by some Kaiser-Jeep advertising. A dealer contest was also held as a part of this event.
This four page issue of the January 1960 Jeep Service and Parts News includes a reference to a DJ-3A kit allowing the service department to install a passenger seat. I wonder how many DJ-3As were sold without passenger seats?
This appears to run and drive. It may be a good price.

“Funciona, se entrega jalando está original (Google Translate: It works, it is delivered pulling it is original)”

This looks like a neat little trailer made from a CJ-5 with a title. (wonder if it is a trailer or a CJ-5 title?)
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1418043512147034
“Custom well made Jeep CJ5 trailer great for camping and pulling behind your Jeep. Tool box, cover, solar lighting, racks for shovel axe etc. 2000 or trade for decent golf cart. Nevada title in my name.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
(12/12/2023) This has a variety of updates. Note the unusual u-bolt plates on the back of this build. My guess is that this is any upside down ‘box’ design to protect then u-bolt nuts from being damaged on trails.
“1947 willys jeep. Very fast and very freeway drivable do to awsome muncie 4 speed, shift perfect. 350 chevy corvette double hump heads cam edelbrock intake manifold and carburetor, headers. Newer brakes, mastercylinder and power steering pump. Will set for long periods of time and start immediately electric fuel pump. Binimi top. New bucket seats .axle braces.

This is a post-war Esslinsen rebuilt MB. It’s in rough shape and doesn’t appear to run.

“1946 Willys CJ2a. Complete. Runs. Clear title. Has a top. Brakes, lights, etc. all work. Original engine I believe. The engine could use a rebuild. I drive it as is. In Reno/Carson area. You will need to ask questions and see it.”
