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 .

Parts are easily obtainable since frame is same as Jeep CJ.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900.
(05/09/2017) No title and doesn’t run.
“Ran about 5 years ago, never registered it and I lost the registration for it but should be easy enough to get again. I’ve got a transferable registration from a 55 Willys if you feel like going that route.
It’s a 3spd manual 4×4 jeep fc170 with a hurricane strait 6 and plow. Has the normal wear and tear for an fc170, has some serious rust in the cab corners and drivers side door but other than that it’s a pretty strait and solid vehicle. Floor pans are pretty good, rockers and rain guards could use some attention. All glass is good, frame is spot on.”

Thanks go to Jason King for documenting his family’s jeeping adventure from last weekend!
Jason writes, “This past Saturday the King family held our 7th Annual Sweetwater Run Jeep Rally in beautiful Parke County, Indiana (Covered Bridge Capital of the World). Family members came from as far away as Minnesota and Missouri to enjoy this yearly event.
Some of the older jeeps attending this year . . .
. . . . and some of the newer jeeps.
The morning started off with a timed run on a pre-determined 10-mile route planned out by the hosts of the rally in their 46’ CJ2A some weeks earlier. The plan was for each of the 8 Jeeps to leave 5 minutes apart with at least a driver and navigator. Each navigator had a copy of the mapped route and was responsible for keeping the time clock for their respective vehicle. The the Jeep closest to the official time clocked by the hosts of the rally received a first place prize box full of moon pies. The timed event was enjoyed by all and should continue for years to come.
The timed event was followed by a wonderful cookout on a new Jeep fire pit made by my brother-in-law (he takes orders if anyone is interested). Shortly after the cookout we travelled east through Rockville to Bridgeton passing a few covered bridges along the way, stopped for ice cream and proceeded on to Mansfield Covered Bridge before returning home.

A custom CJ-6 on a Cherokee frame (and running gear?).
“1963 Willy jeep cj6. Original tub. But on a 1978 grand Cherokee frame.”
UPDATE: **sold** was $1000. Another jeep has been added to the mix.
“3 cj2a Jeep’s. One has title. It’s a project or a bunch of parts..”
Listed as an M-38, it looks more like a replacement body on a CJ-3A-like frame. There’s no hinge for the grille and no battery box.
“Jeep runs great. Starts right up every time
4cyl but not stock. It is some type of gm 4cyl I think.
New tires
New seats
Good glass
Needs steering bolted down. Its in but needs to be made solid. And needs lights reconnected. And trans cover and gass pedal put in. And that is it. Im pretty sure it can be driven onto a trailer as it sits. But has to be all bolted up to be driveable on road
I have all thats needed to finish.
Take it cheap now or as i finish things the price will rise. Either way is fine with me bc i am in no hurry.
I will not bargain on price.
. trades considered”

Seller’s not sure of the year, but based on the serial number it appears this is a December 1964 CJ-5. It is supposed to run, but the tank is in the cargo area.
