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 ad for the Willys Mighty Farm Jeep and an associate demonstration was published in the Henderson, NC, Daily Dispatch on April 13, 1946.
From the same newspaper earlier in the month (April 06) was this teaser for the demonstration:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,000.
Looks good.

“selling my fully restored 1946 Willys jeep. 450 miles on it since total restoration. New everything.
Has factory GO DEVIL 4 cylinder engine. All stock except wheels and warn hubs.
1st year of the Civilian Jeep. Not military. 60 horse power , 60 MPH top speed.
This is in perfect condition and runs and drives the same. Nicer finish than they ever had.
Car show ready”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2600.
Given the Meyer top, the plow, and the running condition, this might be a good price. the body is rough, but we’ve seen much worse.
“1962 CJ5 with original (or at least correct period) hydraulic lift plow.
Starts, runs, and drives. Plow operates as well.
It has F4-134 Hurricane engine and 3spd manual trans. High/Low on transfer case both working.
Factory heater. Hard top and doors (with roll up windows).
System was converted to to 12V including recent alternator which is charging as it should.
Frame is good, body has some patches and could use some more attention but plows just fine as-is.
Needs a brake pressure switch for brake lights to work but headlights and taillights are working.
Valve lash just adjusted and valve covers replaced.
Windshield has a crack but not leaking.
Bill of sale only – no title available.”
This is a project. I believe this has a Sears Deluxe aluminum top.

“1947 Jeep Willy’s great looking old school Jeep needs to be finished have no time to finish it comes with parts Jeep and extra parts”
This may be a 1946, based on the multiple data plates and the front Frame horns. It’s listed as a 1949.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Were $150.
Dave’s got these two rims for sale.
“I have two rims that would be correct for a mid-50s to early-60s Willys Pickup and Wagon. Im not sure but they might be correct for the forward controls too (fc150 and fc170). They are 16″ x 5″ made by Kelsey Hayes. They both have the factory 1/8th hole on the lug flange. The green one has some slight curb rash but not too bad. I believe the green one is the original color. Overall both are very solid usable rims. No rust around the valve stem. Asking $150 for the two. Only selling as a pair unless you want to buy one for $100.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6800.

“1951 Willys CJ3a. The jeep is complete excluding the seats and the engine. matching wheels all body components and a complete drive line consisting of transmission transfer case driveshaft front and rear axles.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5850.
Runs and drives. Engine will need a rebuild.
“1945 Ford GPW #267700 matching numbers on frame and body. Motor runs but needs rebuilt. Body work has been done on this over the years, floor redone but not right, some bondo in cowl on the passenger side and over rear wheel well on passenger’s side. It’s a ten footer! By no means is this a pile of junk but I just want anyone interested to know the facts about it. I am pulling the engine next week and the price will go up accordingly. Look at E-Willys or any of the military jeep for sale sites and you will see what a really nice one goes for.With new floor panels, new rear fender wells and the motor rebuilt and the major work is done. I will pull the body off after the motor is rebuilt and do the floor and rear fender wells again the price will reflect the repairs as I go through it.”
This summer of 2018 video shows Josh, the Stoney Ridge Farmer out of North Carolina, pulling a family jeep out of a barn. The jeep hadn’t been driven in thirty years. There are more videos related to the jeep here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVGf64a6nqKhgR9eKCUY4A/search?query=jeep
This series of photos was published June 14, 1942, in the Evening Star. There’s also a post from 2015 that includes some similar photos. Becky Bergmann in a Ford GP was featured in several.
This former SEMA FC sold for $159,500 at this year’s Scottsdale auction.
https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1958-JEEP-FC170-CUSTOM-SUV-227949
“This 1958 Jeep FC170 was completely hand-built by the Daystar team in Phoenix, AZ. Hundreds of hours went into the building of this Jeep, and it was featured at the 2015 SEMA show. The combination of the all-terrain wheels and tires, and separate Mattracks 88 Series tracks, the vehicle can tackle any terrain on tires or treads. The custom body of the FC170 is protected by a beautiful 3-stage custom Metallic Viper Green paint accented with a pearlescent cream. The Daystar team did an outstanding job on the quality of finish, raw power and off-road prowess. It’s powered by a 5.7-liter 8-cylinder engine backed by an automatic transmission. This Jeep is still in great condition to this day. Both wheels and tires, and Mattracks tracks are included in the sale.”
Maury spotted this back blade brochure on Amazon that neither of us had seen. It includes a detailed schematic of the unit.

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $3500.
This seems to be a mix of a GPW chassis and a VEC CJ-2A body.
“Bought this for my dad who doesn’t have time to restore. It does run. I bought new tires, new seats, has a hard top with it. It’s running pretty good.”
