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 .

“Don’t make me turn this into a yard art planter. 1952 Willys Model CJ3-A, I believe, but with a slightly later F134 OHV Hurricane engine. Pto transmission.
Drivetrain is complete – interior is your open canvas! No serious rust, very solid. I do have two foldable seats you can also have if you like. Thought I wanted a cool project but then reality caught up. I did get it cleaned up and running – sounded great – but just don’t have the facilities/tools/know how at this time to continue. Wishful thinking! NO TITLE NO TITLE NO TITLE! Call/text or come have a look but please don’t waste my time. There will be no email/internet nonsense, cash in person only.”
I can’t remember where I found these photos of an unusual house-like top on a MB/GPW.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $380. I’ve contacted the seller and explained what he had (apparently, someone else had called him, too). He’d like to find this a good home.
(08/02/2018) This is likely the only Muller top to be found that’s not installed on a jeep (See the directions for making a Muller top here). It’s a great piece of history.
“Selling a hard/soft top for a M-38 CJ-3A or Dispatcher Jeep. I’ve never seen another top like this one before. My dad bought this over 30 yrs ago to put on his flatfender. But it never was installed. And now I own the Jeep but it won’t fit over the cage. It’s got a metal/wood frame it looks like a soft top from the outside but is full framed with a headliner. The doors and side,rear windows all store in a compartment inside the roof . No tears or rust it’s dirty but it’s been stored indoor’s as long as we’ve owned it. I’m running out of room so it’s up for sale”
Rick shared this CJ-5 with some unusual Desert Dog tires (tires aren’t shown on this ad) and some usual spring helpers. Maybe the dogs are very early ones?

Mike noted that this might have been used by the military. I’ve added a pic of the unusual dash stickers.
Appears worth a look. The windshield has some excess lean to it.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

(07/15/2018) Hasn’t been run in 3 years. Includes a matching trailer.
“1957 Jeep FC150.
– Been in the family for about 30 years
– Rhino lined truck bed and interior about 20 years ago
– New exterior paint about 15 years ago
– Original engine (Hurricane 4 Cylinder), transmission (3 Speed Manual with Overdrive), etc. with some modifications (overdrive and locking hubs added before initial purchase)
– The engine turns over but it won’t completely run on it’s own. I suspect that the fuel pump is the issue but I’m not certain. The engine isn’t seized though. Last started and ran about 3 years ago.
– Comes with a matching trailer.
– I have some original manuals and sales material that I would provide with it.
Please call, text, or email with any questions.”

Matt’s got this old truck for sale. He’s clearing out some of his jeep collection for a VEC project.
“I have a 1951 Willys pickup truck in need of a new home. The truck is in pretty rough shape. The cab has a lot of rust and part of the frame has weak spot. It does not have a bed or seat however the rest is there. It has a flathead ford V8 that ran not too long ago. It does still have the stock willys transmission and transfer case. It also has a lift and pump setup for a plow but I do not have the blade. It is mostly a parts vehicle or could be restored with a lot of work. I have too many other projects in the works and would rather see someone use it. Bill of sale only. Asking $900 obo. Call/text or email. If the ad is still up, it is still available. Thank you”
Could be a good price.

While returning from our short camping trip, we spotted this 3B motoring down I-84 at 60MPH heading from Pendleton to Echo, Oregon. It was perfect weather for a jeep drive.
