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: This rig has undergone some updates. See the pics from 2022 at the bottom of the post.

Here’s an unusual build. The off-center headlights mess with me.
https://albuquerque.craigslist.org/cto/d/concho-custom-built-rat-rod/7737127410.html
“I have a custom rat rod for sale. Asking $6,500 OBO. Would prefer cash, but open to trades; tractor, skid steer, truck, let me know what you have. The guy I got it from said it was custom built by a guy who worked as a machinist/welder at the Mines in Bagdad Arizona so he had full access to the metal shop there.

“1952 jeep 4×4 good body no rust, not running at this time.
has electrical issues. 4 cyl.”
Mike shared this modified CJ-5 with six wheels. I can’t tell if both rear axles are setup to drive or not.
https://willysforsale.com/ads/63-cj-5-custom-modified/
“Customized 6wheels brand new 33×12.5×15 tires and rims Duantless V6
Auto trans engine runs new carb custom metal fabrication ready for new life I don’t have time sad to let go lots of hours close to finish but won’t be able too, everything is here needs rear mods finished by a gear head and new attitude to complete custom custom have Title.”
I can’t tell if the year is correct, but this is one odd build.
https://humboldt.craigslist.org/pts/d/miranda-1952-jeep-willys-army-jeep-m38/7709293496.html
“1952 military willys jeep m38 a1, it’s been modified at one time we think it may have been a movie car by the way its done but its neat. I have good spare engine comes with, original one that’s in it sat to long n needs work but I’m sure its probably fixable too. It’s fresh out of a barn, no rust or rot but it’s def been worked. $2200 obo.”
Sometimes a body is more trouble than its worth. It runs and drives find without one.

“1952 Jeep Willys, 350ci Chevy small block with automatic transmission, 2-4 barrel carburetors, Completely Done, Ready to Run.”
UPDATE: Still Available. Will notes that the CJ-5 body is sitting on an FC-150 wide-track chassis. This unusual CJ-5 looks widened..

“Rare find – Custom 1960 Willy’s FC-150 Jeep 4X4. 289 Motor. 3 Speed Manual Shift. Diamond plate floor. ****mileage not known **** No holds. Pickup in Jackson Township.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $8000.
(12/10/2023) This is an interesting build, but the pics don’t show all the aspects. It’s possibly now a convertible (or just soft top) and has a tower blind attached to the bed.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1412983369570905
“It’s a 1955 Willis jeep , 4wd ,motor is a 226 super hurricane , 80,128 miles on it. Comes with high rack, feeder, and winch. Also have another extra motor for it. Must pick up.”

“1994 willys fully restored with Toyota c3  turbo  engine With NON HIGHWAY TITlE!!!!!! shipping on me anywhere in the USA”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This has a 2A body, so the date and model may be incorrect. The wagon/truck/jeepster front clip fits pretty well.

“1950 CJ 3A Buick V6, has manual trans with 2 stick transfer case Asking $2,500 Has clear title”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000.
(08/19/2023) Tom shared this CJ-2A with some type of sedan or truck top. If the grille is original, this is likely a 1947 or later model.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/310828624742465
“Willys Jeep. New brakes, master cylinder and entire brakes. Wheels blasted and painted and new tires and tubes. New seats with original frames. This Jeep has a PTO but needs the shaft. Runs and drives good but motor could use a rebuild. New gas tank and lines the body is rough but could be used depending on what you plan to do with the Jeep. Battery does NOT come wit it. Great to restore or just continue to use as is. The cab was added from an old truck many years ago and it works pretty good. This is your chance to own a classic Willys.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/17/2023) TJ shared this custom camper FC-170. The inside looks in pretty good shape.

or https://pullman.craigslist.org/cto/d/moscow-1958-willys-jeep-fc-170/7677156253.html

Here’s an odd one.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1297866277600228/
“So, this has been in my family for quite a while. Believe my great grandpa ‘created’ this back in the 80’s and would mainly use it as a hunting vehicle. To my understanding mostly all the exterior is fiberglass, cab space is mainly sheet metal, engine and chassis are from an old jeep (willys jeep or jeep CJ) sometime in the 1940’s-60’s. Price is OBO, if you think you have any info on the chassis and engine based on the pictures let me know, I would like to learn more about it myself. Have the cylinder head and other parts but are in kind of rough shape as you could assume”
This CJ-5 was modified to dig post holes.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1015076379624158
“This is a highly modified Jeep designed to dig post holes. It’s a 78 CJ5, in running order and comes with a 6″, 9″, and 12″ auger. I think it can dig as deep as 6′. The best part about this design for digging holes, is the passenger seat faces backwards and has all the controls for driving.”
I feel like we’ve seen a jeep with a similar top that is or was for sale.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/697927085170328
“CJ3a project vehicle. It is very complete and fairly straight. Minimal rust. Has pto winch on it. Not running, NO TITLE!”
UPDATE: The price is now $1000 (previously no price).
(08/16/2023) If you are looking for something a little different…
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/6873966055959873
“Open to trades, don’t need to get rid of it just seeing what’s out there. Runs and drives”
This body has seen some modifications.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/688119123380047
“1940’s jeep willys has winch and snow plow runs needs clutch linkage adjusted needs tires divorced transfer case no title idk the mileage”
Mike shared this unusual camper. The shape of it reminds me of the late 1940s Book mobiles (or see below post). The box on this truck appears a little taller than the book mobile boxes, so this truck and the book mobiles may be unrelated.
The truck is listed as a 1954, but the grille suggests it is earlier. It’s unclear whether the camper on back is original to the truck (special order for example) or whether someone added the camper later. That said, the interior faux wood and carpet screams 60s or 70s to me. The “Jeep” radio would have also been added at a later date. Note the Warn hubs are IH branded hubs.
The jeep sports a “Rednor & Raine” Jeep sticker from Trenton, NJ, which as of 1965, was a jeep only dealer. This also has a Princeton Theological Seminary parking permit, which is still an active institution.
https://westslope.craigslist.org/cto/d/durango-1954-jeep-willys-purpose-built/7659761315.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $775.
“Willys CJ2A 1946 Column shift REMOVED PTO AND SHAFT. $775.00
Bought from a hunting club in TN. The owner said the jeep has been at the club since middle 70s. Started replacing engine and front engine plate didn’t match and they stopped. Will need a total restoration. The original T-90 column shift tranny still in jeep but was converted to a stick. Has all data plates …use as a donor or restore.located near Whiteville, Tn.”
This one looks like a beloved jeep. This is listed as a 1946, but it’s a modified MB with a custom top and suicide doors.

“Anyone have some land and trails to run on and hunt. 1946 Willy’s Jeep. Runs good. It needs some brake work. The wheel/ brake cylinders are sticky. It does have rust and some holes in places but the vehicle is 77 years old. lol, It’s dependable. It is what you will make of it. We love this old Jeep and had a lot of fun in it but just don’t have the storage anymore. The transmission is a three-speed with twin sticks for four-wheel drive, two-wheel drive, high and low range.. We have a separate engine block and parts on a crate for another motor that was given to us by a friend years ago but we never used it or had a need for it. Make an offer. 5000 obo. Will sell the Jeep and engine together or separately.”
Steve spotted this stripped down jeep.

“Famous one eyed Willys for sale!
Starts right up, goes great, hydraulic plow lift works.”
The standard gas tank has been replaced with a tank behind the seats and filler embedded into the middle-rear of the custom hardtop.
