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: Both run. More pics.

Bob forwarded this unusual CJ-5. I think calling this a custom CJ-5 is an understatement. The price is surprising.

Looking for something else, I ran across this 1963 J-300 dually with an unusual tale.
“This is a special ordered truck, the only Jeep J300 truck ever configured this way. I purchased this truck with 43,000 miles on it from the original owner, a timber faller, who worked up until he died at 87 years old. The original owner approached his local Jeep dealership requesting a one ton dually Thriftside and was told Jeep didn’t build one. When he told them if Jeep didn’t build one for him he would buy a Ford instead the dealership obtained one for him that had the rear fenders widened to fit the dual tires and a wider rear bumper was fabricated. This truck has OEM power steering, a four speed tranny, 230 CI Tornado motor, 2 bbl carb and an alternator was added. An 8000 pound Ramsey PTO winch is included This truck is registered in the Texas Full size Jeep Association Dually registry check it out here http://www.txfsja.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=354 I reserve the right to end auction early as this vehicle is for sale locally.”
This is a custom FC with custom Ford axles and power train.
“1957 Jeep FC- 150. Foward Control Jeep with Ford Econoline front axle, 1957 Ford 9 inch rear end. 302 Ford V8 engine with C-4 automatic transmission. Dual rear wheels with new radials all around. Handbuilt flatbed with nice wood floor. New red/white paint. Bet you’ve never seen a truck like this before. You will have the only one at any car show.”

This has the coil springs on the rear along with a rear PTO and T-98 side shift.

“jeep FC 170 DRW

This runs and drives with an operating trencher and sports duallies.
“1958 CJ 5 Willys Jeep with a trencher attachment that was factory made for jeeps back before the industry started making trenchers for smaller jobs.
Back then it was either a shovel and pick or large diggers. This trencher fit the bill for the smaller jobs.
This unit is in complete working order and runs great. The odometer reads 4400 miles and I believe it.
The Huricane-4 motor runs smooth and does not smoke.
Also has duals on the back that are made for jeep and never seen one of these with a cab.

Here’s a strange vehicle posted by Dan over at Hemmings. It is even a dually!
http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/tag/jeep/
Hugo spotted this article about the dually wheel adapter in an April 1949 Popular Mechanics article. I can’t remember seeing duallies on the front.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800
If some detail work was done, this could look pretty cool. Truck sold separately.
“!959 Willys Jeep Stationwagon 4X4
Project I bought but can no longer afford.
This is a really good custom with extreem potential.
The top has a 4″ chop, a nice straight job.
Dual wheels out the back is a gmc 1 ton truck axle.
Does not have motor or transmission, set up for small block Chev.
I also have a doner Gmc Jimmy 4X4 with running motor and autotrans, and
frame that is 4″ longer than Willys frame. The gmc offers better brakes.
This is an intense project, but could be great rat rod, or ratrod custom.
My loss your gain. I have over $3000. invested
Asking $1800 for the wagon and $700 for the jimmy”
I wouldn’t describe this as “an easy project”, but there’s plenty here with which to work.
“this is an extremely rare and desirable cj2a with the “Jeep A Trench” option,it is complete but will need full restoration ,the trencher attachment is in very good condition and seems to have been used very little ,the engine is complete and unaltered ,it does turn nd was running when parked but again this will need to be restored. it also has the rare dual wheel option with reverse disc wheels in the front.this is an easy project wince it is mostly complete , it has sat for many years until a shed deteriorated so it has weathered quite a lot.

UPDATE: Brian’s selling his unique collection of jeeps. Among them is a CJ-6 Wrecker, a CJ-5 Trencher, CJ-5 Snow Blower and the first CJ-5 ever produced.
You are bidding on a massive collection of jeep vehicles, literature, memorabilia, dealer items, toys, and much more. This is the collection of Jeep restorer and enthusiast, Brian Hainer, of Brian’s 4wd Parts, LLC. This list of vehicles is as follows:
1946 CJ2A, original survivor with 7000 miles on it. Original top, chaff screen, rear seat. Even has original key and invoice from Willys/Overland. Has the patina of a 50+ year old vehicle and is one of the most original examples of a CJ2A in existence.
1962 CJ6 Garage Service Vehicle. This has been restored from the ground up and is flawless. Original Koenig Wrecker Boom, and Front winch. Twin Stick PTO powers the front winch, rear wrecker winch, and air compressor. Since the photos posted were taken I have made some top bows and sewn a full lenght bikini top for it. Made out of black canvas. I also added a Extend-a-Bed to this vehicle. There just isn’t any room back there to carry anything and I wasn’t planning on using the boom so I added the extension.
1977 Jeep CJ7. This satisfied my need to go fast every now and again. V8 304, 4.10 gears, …… This jeep is a perfect driver and restored with the same care as every vehicle that comes thru my shop.
1968 CJ5 Jeep-a-Trench. This is an unrestored CJ5 bought from the original owner a couple years ago. Everything is there and is a great example of a trencher. Runs and drives but smokes like crazy. Awaiting restoration.
196? CJ5 Snowblower Jeep. Not exactly sure of the year. This came from an airport and has 109 miles on it. Runs perfect, has the T-98 4 speed in it, but it is very rusty. Body will need replacing.
CJ5 10001 Cut Away Jeep Chassis . This jeep chassis is a cut away display model made by Willys. It has every option you could install on a jeep at the time and everything is cut open so you could see the operation of it. Front winch, governor, twin stick pto, rear gearbox, and right angle pulley. A true piece of history.
That about covers the vehicles. Also included in this sale is every piece of literature, memoriabilia, jeep toy, etc.. that I have collected over the past 30 years. If it is jeep related I probably have it…. bought out a lot of dealers and collected a lot of signs, and early salesmens books.
The Jeep Toy collection is an impressive one and includes #92 of the Fine Art Model of the ww2 MB. Fine art models got into a battle with Chrysler a while back over making these and it is very rare to ever see one for sale. You will receive #92 with this collection.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay for $1000.
“This is a 1967 jeep cj5 DUALLY. My understanding is that is was owned by the Texas DOT and was used as an auger. The oil in the engine is black, but there is no apparent water in it. The engine compartment is dusty, but VERY complete. It has an alternator instead of generator. I feel with a little cleaning/tuning the engine would run. ( I have revived engines that looked 10 times worse!) The bad, The tranny cover was left loose and water penetrated it as well as the t-case (the drain plug was missing) so they are seized. The windshield is cracked. Both drive shafts are present, but disconnected due to frozen tranny and t-case. The frame has a 1/2 inch thick plate from the front bumper to the rear bumper following the contours of the frame on the outside of the frame rails. THEY ARE BOLTED TO THE FRAME and appear to be manufactured, not made by some some monkey with a torch. The rear axle is a monster, my understanding is that it is a Dana 70. There is a fuel tank, heavier than normal and with no sending unit hole. There are no seats, and the center most portion of the transmission flloor cover near the shifter is missing. The body is surprisingly lacking in rust. There is a minimal amount in the normal locations, but even the hat channels are in good shape. Please ask any questions before bidding, I am willing to help load the vehicle but the buyer is responsible for transportation. ******I just noticed in a couple of the pictures there are side steps that are NOT on the jeep any longer!*******”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a dually that has a six lug rear. I thought that was odd, but then I checked out a ’69 CJ-5 and it had the same setup.
“1965 Jeep CJ5 4 x 6 dual wheel open body 3 speed. Dana rear end and Chevy 350 motor. 47000 original miles. Originaly sold as a Trencher. Mechanically 100% body excellent.MUST SELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

UPDATE2: Still Available
UPDATE: Craig confirms that this is a FC-170 DRW; it’s unclear if the diesel is original or if it is a replacement engine (rather than a M-676 with a Cerlist Diesel.)
“I have an FC 150 and an FC 170 that will be sold as a pair. The FC 170 has no motor, trans or transfer case. It was a RARE factory diesel with a Gafner loader. It has a GVW of 9000# with Dana axles. Found a bell housing and flywheel in the cab so I assume it is off the diesel. Odometer shows 7500 miles. The FC 150 is pretty much complete except for the seats. It has a 4 cylinder F134 motor that will be rebuilt shortly. It has the standard bore and reground crank and bearings to match. Waitng for a front seal and valve stem seals. Odometer shows 21,500 miles. I am just stating what the odometers say, don’t know if it is the actual miles or not. Both Jeeps last plated around 1973-74. I am open to REASONABLE OFFERS. I am not going to give these away so don’t waste my time. I do have more pics if you are serious.”

This is a no reserve auction that starts at $800. Note this has the dually connectors on the rear and the engine runs.
