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.

I’m in Salt Lake for a couple days, spending time with my kids. Karson took me mountain biking on Antelope island, which sits in the Great Salt Lake. He managed not to kill this semi-out-of-shape old man. But, it’s clear he is in better shape than I. Here are a few photos.
Ready to ride
Yep, we’ve been riding uphill for quite a while … yep, those are bison ahead. I am too tired to outrun them at this point. My hope was that they would take pity on me and not chase me down.
We made it to the top of a hill. That’s the Wasatch Front in the background. Most of the rest of the trip was downhill.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3700.
Thanks to Bryan for spotting this one
“Rare barn find 1963 jeep cabover.”
UPDATE: I ran this post back in 2010. I think it’s time for a repost.
If this commercial played on TV, I must have missed it.
On a tangential note (and a completely skippable one), one of the shots in the movie appears to show Jane Goodall with some chimpanzees. My tech company did a co-project with her and ESRI (the Microsoft of mapping software) for an ESRI event in San Diego. Long story short, we had a party after the event and rented a sushi restaurant. It turns out .. well … let’s just say she’s not a fan of eating fish (she’s a serious vegetarian I believe). OOOPPPSS! I’m not all that sure she really likes people either, but perhaps it was an off day for her (though I ended up sneaking her out of the back of the restaurant; but that’s another story). So, the tip of the day is, if you invite Jane to dinner, don’t serve Sushi!
Anyway, enjoy the video:
Geoff wants to let folks know about a friend of his who makes wood jeeps. If you are interested, email Fred at fredmaybee@Yahoo.com. It looks good!
“The following pictures are of a wooden Jeep that I had purchased from a local gentleman. He charges $30 plus shipping per copy for common wood. Prices go up depending on the choice of specialty species of wood, to cover the cost of the raw materials.”
UPDATE: The FC Roundup starts next Friday! I can’t believe we are already approaching late March!
15th ANNUAL JEEP FORWARD CONTROL ROUNDUP
March 23-25, 2018 1600 W. Colter St. Phoenix, Arizona 85015
This is your personal invitation to the “Most Excellent” FC-Only event. We invite all FC Owners and friends of Jeep Forward Controls.
It is our pleasure to invite you, with or without your Vehicle. This is where you will see some of the best authentic and original restored, ongoing projects or modified FC and FleetVans. You can learn a lot in a weekend, see the Military models of FCs, take detailed pictures, talk to other owners. Bring your FC items, toys, memorabilia, photos, artwork, literature, and manuals to display. See new FC related products and parts and special tools. FC Roundup event hats, T-shirts, will also be available. There is no charge for the event.
We are always so very grateful for your donation of any FC related items that are given away during the Saturday afternoon free raffle. Also on Saturday are the large BBQ Hot Dogs and much more, for lunch. Free refreshments daily. One of the best things that happens everyday, is that you are also invited to drive your FC / FleetVan or you might ride in an FC. We have FC-Only groups that cruise to and from breakfast and dinner.
It is important that I mention that our weekend is a very busy time for the Phoenix area, the best weather, Spring Training, and many other events. So book your hotel, before they are sold out. The nearby Grand Canyon University, (GCU Hotel on the internet) is the favorite. The 502 Hotel is now closed down. There are other hotels along the NW light rail route that comes from the Phoenix international Airport. Call me for transportation from the Montebello / 19th Ave. light rail terminal stop and for more information about anything, contact me.

“I am reluctantly offering up my 1948 Willys cj2a don’t have to sell it but putting it out there if someone is interested I received this Jeep in Fairly neglected. Motor is very strong and a little unique it has a casting of the word special on the side runs good no smoke transmission and clutch have been replaced a Novak rebuild kit was used on the transmission. Wiring has all been redone and everything functions as it should. Motor has 20 lb of oil pressure at idle and 30-40 running down the road. Transfer case is noisy but functional I was going to rebuild it at some point down the road.
The front of the frame is pretty tweaked so I also have acquired a entirely new frame with axles rebuilt brakes pretty much all ready to go to swap everything on to. Pretty much everything has been fixed does have some rust under the toolbox and a little bit in the front floors. I didn’t do anything to the body because I thought it has great patina and looks good as it is. Lots of stuff has been done to this Jeep feel free to message me if you have some questions or want to get some more specifics. It comes with a clear title in my name and has a brand new bestop tiger top installed. $4800.00”

“1942 Press Photo Group of girls driving a jeep drove pass 16-inch shells stack. This is an original press photo. Women At Home On The (Firing) Range Women who just a short while ago thought of a range as something to cook on and powder as something to pat on their faces are now doing the work of men on the firing range at the Army Ordnance Department’s providing grounds at Aberdeen, Md. They don’t just fool around with the light work, either. They fill shells with powder and prime them. They run huge cranes to assemble the big guns. And they load, clean, and fire everything from Garand rifles and Tommy guns to the big railroads guns. A group of the girls riding the range in a Jeep pass a huge stack of 16-inch shells. Photo measures 9 x 7.25 inches. Photo is dated 06-06-1942.”

Highlights include; GM 350 transmission, FAST EZ EFI, 430hp Blue Print crate motor, aluminum heads, roller cam, double roller timing, new gas tank, fuel pump and lines.
Vehicle also features new disc brakes on front, new upper and lower ball joints, newer battery, newer hoses, belts, brake lines, master cylinder, steering column, tires, steering wheel, gauges, ceramic headers and much more. The roof rack on the vehicle is mahogany and aluminum. The interior is also mahogany wood accented and in great condition.
The rear end is a 1962 Corvette posi, wheels are center line and wrapped in Mickey Thompson tires. The 898 miles on the odometer is actual to the motor and since most of the parts have been installed/replaced. This is a great running vehicle and is documented extremely well, the owner has provided us with a large binder full of receipts on service and parts, including the motor and transmission. Please call or email us today for more information.
This has a large tank on the back. Seller believes this was in the military. There appear to be a couple data plates on the dash, but otherwise this looks civilian to me. Thanks to Brian for spotting it.

The driver’s front fender is dented, but it looks good otherwise.

Seller has listed the price as $4444, but I doubt that’s the price. The ad is a little odd.

VERY Clean, has been soda blasted, nicely repaired in the floors and painted OD green. The tailgate was professionally welded over with plate steel. It looks stock, but it is not as is. It could be brought back to the stock configuration with some sheet metal work and welding. This set does not have a windshield frame.
Perfect as a replacement body. This entire package IS a package deal and came from one jeep that underwent a military body replacement-conversion. I will separate the set.
Please voice call for an appointment to see it in person.
The Jeep tub and jeep body accessories listed are located on our ranch between Salado and Holland, Texas 76571, about an hour South of Waco, TX.
