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 .
Looks like a great price.

“Willys CJ2A Jeep Cab. This cab is in pretty good condition complete with doors. The roof looks to have been patched on corners.”

(06/12/2018) Listed as a 1946, it looks like a mix of parts.

“1947 Willy’s Overland CJ2A. 4X4 Ready to use, stock flathead 4. driver quality, lots of new stuff runs very well.”
Rahadian Dhian of Badung, Indonesia, shared on Facebook this custom jeep made from a GPW and a 1950’s Truck. The top really finishes it off nicely.
The Jeep Jam was this past weekend in Wilmington, Ohio. Roger Martin was there with his CJ-2A and FC backhoe and shared these photos via his girlfriend Sharon, who wrote about the event:
“Friday night, Roger Martin, had his 1947 CJ2a parked in the prime location at the Show and Shine Cruise-in. On the way down the street to park, his Jeep was one of several tagged by THE JEEP MAFIA.COM, and he was koozied with a cold drink cover that said “Nice Rig!”
The event took up 4 blocks of downtown Wilmington, from Spring Street to North South Street, and there were hundreds of jeeps and thousands of people. His Jeep was on one corner of Main and Spring Street ad Greg Houk’s Jeep FC150 was on the other corner of the street. Most other Jeeps were newer and many were showing off before the “muddy” events this weekend.
There are trail rides, obstacle courses, mud pits and many other events at the fairground and in other local locations. Also at the fairground, there is overnight camping, and there are Jeep vendors, food concessions, live music, a Show & Shine competition, and a Jeep “Museum.” Roger’s FC170 DRW with a rare Factory Mounted Ottawa Backhoe is on display in the event’s historical display along with his CJ2a.”
Roger Martin spotted this ride-on toy near him.
“The little Jeep is $185 for the toy it’s from an antique shop here locally in Xenia Ohio”
Gayland spotted this great example of a Safari-Kar (more Safari-Kars and brochures).
https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/d/1978-jeep/6635735291.html
“This is a 1978 DJ5. Used to be a postal service jeep that was converted in 1995 by a company named Safari-Kar. There was less than 1000 of these build. As the company was only in business for 3 years. The jeep has 5,276 miles on the complete rebuild. Inline 6, automatic transmission, 2 wheel drive. I just put 3200 dollars in it to replace or repair the following (battery, all the belts, brakes gone thru, the tires have less then 500 miles on them (and there is 5 of them), the gas tank and all the line have been cleaned (the tank was dropped cleaned and reinstalled. This is a very clean jeep at a good price.
If you want to know more about this unique jeep then google the company ( Safari-Kar ) .It will tell you more about what they have done.”
Has the MB cross member up front. Either it’s an early GPW or it’s mix of parts.

We hoped to work on it and have this as a fun town vehicle, but haven’t found the time. It’s been in the fam for about 30 years and I road in it as a kid. Very fun! I’d love to see it running again and someone enjoying it.”

“Many,many new parts! Road ready! Drive it home!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
Runs and drives. It would not be worth 10-15k with the original engine, as there have been other changes, such as the steering box addition.
“Body in great shape, org. trany, has a 350 chev. motor. runs good. if you put the org. motor in it , it would be worth 2 to 3x the value. must call cause I dont text,”

Chad reminded me that I hadn’t done a post yet on the Big Willy Mutant Jeep, a project meant to be a supersized, trail capable, jeep. The build is being documented on Facebook using both video and photos: https://www.facebook.com/BigWillyJeep/
Here are some pics:
This article in the Chanhassen Villager, out of Minnesota, highlights Steve Knigge’s rebuild of a 1947 CJ-2A.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
I can’t remember seeing this ad for a Cutlas Wheel cover that included an FC-170.
“ORIGINAL RARE 1960 JEEP Cutlas Wheel Covers Fact Spec Sheet Folder Brochure, 8-1/2′ x 11″, one page”
A former bee keeper’s truck?

“1951 Willys pickup. Very clean 4×4 pickup. Almost everything rebuilt and original just not perfect. Will be open to a trade of similar value.”
Travis spotted this customized 3A.
https://boston.craigslist.org/nos/cto/d/1950-willys-cj3a/6672406506.html
“1950 willys cj3a
$5,500 title in hand.
registered, and inspected at the time of writing this add. I may consider trade for a Tj wrangler unlimited or cj8 scrambler
This has the factory Dana 44 rear axle, front has been upgraded to discs and has a locker installed. I do not know the brand of the locker. At the moment this is a groceries getter for me and nothing else. Tires still have the nubs on the edges.
They are bfg mud terrains with pro comp simulated bead locks. Body work is not awesome, has the storage box under passenger seat, new fuel tank.
There is also a 4.3 vortec fuel injected v6 under the hood. Lots of power for this little truck. Alum radiator, elec fan, power steering, and the ac compressor is setup to be oba “on board air”.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/07/2018) Bill spotted this one. Based on the lack of gussets on the bumper, I’d say this is some kind of modified 3A.

“New transfercase
New tires with spare
Pto air compressor
