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.

UPDATE: Was on eBay. Status Unknown.
Some custom work added some handy steps. The bed tilts.
“We have had our FC150 at the farm doing work since we purchased it 5 years ago. I once heard somebody describe the FC150 as a “Tractor with a cab and heater”! This is a very accurate statement! This Jeep truly goes anywhere! I have never had it stuck or even struggle thru our deep ravines and hills! But over the last year we haven’t used it as much as we use to and decided its time to sell.
The Jeep appears to have its original engine which runs great! It starts easily if you start it every day or two but if you leave it sit for a week or so then it takes a little primer (a shot of carb cleaner) to get it started. It shifts thru all four gears with no issues and idles well. A tune up was done about a year ago which consisted of new plugs, oil and carburetor rebuild. I also removed and cleaned the fuel tank and replace the fuel pump and filter. I am not sure what the top speed of the vehicle is but my guess would be 40 -45 mph. The 4 wheel drive works great! It has the lock out hubs but I have never switched them and assume they work.
All hydraulics work great! The pump is powered by a PTO which is activated by a hand pull. The winch works great( I have never been stuck but stretched the cable out and rewound it by pulling the jeep backwards). The snow plow moves up and down smoothly but I have never had a blade on it. And of course the custom diamond plate dump bed works awesome! I have loaded the back end full of red oak-drove out of the woods-backed up to my wood pile and dumped the entire contents with no problems!

UPDATE: **SOLD** for $6000 on eBay.
Desert Dogs on an FC. Probably never see that again!
“Engine – Hurricane 4 (out of 1961 Jeep)
3 speed manual transmission with low range
Vin # OH78015283
Navy blue – Black vinyl seats and trim
14,318 miles on odometer but true mileage unknown
I am selling my 1959 Jeep to make room in my garage for a boat. This is also my first sale on E-Bay so I have added links to videos of the truck in the description below. The Jeep has been restored and runs well. I have owned the vehicle since 1997 and it has spent most of the time in my heated garage when not driven. I purchased it from a neighbor who did the restoration for his wife who did not like it and would not drive it. The restoration took place between 1996 and 1997 and cost him over $10k at that time.
The major part was an almost new engine that was put in out of a 1961 Jeep CJ that only had 6,000 miles on it and that was used for snow plowing at a funeral parlor. This engine was purchased from Ray Galassi Jeep in Chicago, one of the original Jeep dealers. When you hear the engine you will know it’s in excellent shape. The body was repainted at the same time but is now showing some rust spots and paint peeling. Many parts were repaired or replaced in 1996. Continue reading
Looks in good shape.
“Restored Jeep from ground up. Original power train gone through and flat head four cylinder runs like a watch and uses no oil. Brakes at the wheels need some work as they leak fluid slowly. Probably just bleeder plugs. Other that that very nice. I would call it excellent condition. This is a civilian version of the Army Jeeps used in war time. It also has a new Holley fuel pump. Other than that, it is true to the period. It has 113 miles on the build. It has a clear title.”

“For Sale by private party:
(1) Clean complete 1947 Willys CJ2A Open Jeep, [green paint]. Data plates intact. Comes with everything except a rear seat, rims and tires, and fuel tank, Restoration project, but a sound one, frame is bent up front, spare mint frame and many spare parts come with the jeep. From the oil bath air filter down to the 9″ brakes, this jeep is complete. The Jeep is a rolling chassis, with a miss-matched set of OEM 16 inch rims and two 15 inch rims mounted. This will roll right up on to your trailer. Everything not on the jeep is in the jeep and / or in a box for the jeep. The L134 motor is not running, but it is the original L134 Flathead. This jeep’s tub has been entirely rebuilt using 1/8” diamond plate steel. It is remarkable. I am estimating someone put about 150-200 hrs in the body re-work alone.
AND (1) CJ3A, [cammo paint scheme], which is also a rolling chassis, no data plate, no motor trans or transfer case. Differentials are sound and have WARN hubs on the front.
AND (1) spare tub, [red primer], complete with footman loops and all bolt-on hardware
AND (1) spare CJ3A frame–razor straight, no cuts and no modifications. This frame is near perfect, a 98/100. It is sitting on some crop crushers to keep it mobile. I will throw in the gin frame it’s sitting on to help you get it on your trailer.

Charles is selling this M-38. He has other vehicles for sale in similar condition that will be shown at the Military Vehicle Collector Show next year in June 2018.
“This rare example of a historic M38 has been professionally restored to “better than new condition.” The history of this U. S. Army Jeep is well known. It was purchased by a U. S. Soldier when both he and the vehicle arrived home to the states from the Korean War. It was assigned to the 10th Mountain Division. The soldier who purchased this jeep couldn’t get a Greyhound bus ticket so he bought this jeep to make his way home to Wisconsin. My father is the 3rd private owner of this vehicle.
As you can see from the pictures, this jeep has been appropriately outfitted with restored and working communications equipment. It includes antennas, a windshield canvas cover, first aid kit, tool kit, full canvas top, curtains, doors and bows.
Must see to appreciate the detail put into this restoration.
Asking $23,500 as described. Please contact Charles at 502-896-2303 during normal business hours. Please, serious inquiries only. Title in hand.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
These don’t pop up for sale often.

Has no brakes.
“1966 Mitsubishi Jeep J30 4 Door 4X4
Built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries under license from Kaiser Jeep.
These were made from the late 1950s through the late 1990s. However, very rare here in the US.
It features a 4 Cylinder gas motor with a 3 speed manual column shift. (Three on the tree).
It has a THREE speed transfer case 2 Hi, 4 Hi, 4 Med, 4 Lo, and N.
The motor runs quite well. It shifts fine. We drove it to the lot.
However, the brakes need work before it can be driven. No brakes!
Overall the Jeep is pretty solid. There is some minimal rust in various rocker and door spots.
The frame, floors, and underside look remarkably well. The truck came from Texas.
The interior appears to be mostly original. The seat upholstery is good, but the cushioning material has deteriorated.
The door panels need recovering and the headline is missing (the insulation is still there).
After market gauges and radio have been added many, many years ago. The radio actually works.
The tire look fairly recent. It looks like it was probably repainted eons ago.
Here is some info on this EXACT unit I found on Google http://www.willyscountry.com/4_dr_Mitsubishi.html
This could be a really cool, unique vehicle. Stand out from the crowd at cruise nights!
$4,995 cash. Come see it and make me an offer.
I might take trades, especially old hot rods, VWs, or other unique unusual cars.”
I assume this was repowered with a 6?
