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: **SOLD** Was $2000
This appears to run and drive.
“Owens Cycle Inc – 1707 N 1st St Yakima, WA 98901”

Looks nice.
“All original. Approximately 50k miles. Minor rust but looks very clean. 6 volt system. Inline 4 cylinder runs good and able to be driven. 2wd 3 speed on the column. Asking 10000 obo. Will send pictures to serious buyers. I’ve seen similar models going for 15 to 20k. Kbb for this model ranges from 8 for poor condition to 18k for excellent.”
UPDATE: Was $1500. **SOLD**
It doesn’t have the original engine, but it might be worth a look.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $7778. Seller wants to sell by 5/15.
I might have had these pics on the wrong post … anyway, here’s the right pics on the right post.
“Restored 5 years ago 750 miles. looks good, drives well-been offered Audis and Sailboats-not adverse to trades, but a simple sale is best-this Jeep is now 64 years old, top speed is about 50mph, cruises 45mph-standard with the exception of 12 volt electrics and wheels”

It turns over, but doesn’t start. It has three dash plates.
“Bought in 1995 for plowing driveway, but Stopped using a few years ago. Now it will turn over briefly, but does not start. The brakes do not work and there is no master cylinder. No seats. Definite fixer upper. Transmission worked well when it was running. Has an 8 volt battery, with 8 volt plug in charger. A couple tires do not hold air. Uses a plastic 5 gallon can for fuel tank. No seats. Could use some TLC! Mileage is estimated”
Looks very nice. Jeespterjim is selling this one.
“This is a 1950 Jeepster that runs and drives great. It was in the same family for 40 years. It’s a nice daily driver at an affordable price. The engine has good compression (105 on all cylinders) and was probably rebuilt not long ago. The top and interior are nice and the chrome is very nice. It has an older paint job, that is not perfect. It has the same typical rust issues that most Jeepsters have, but would not be a difficult restoration. You could drive it and fix it up as you go, or just enjoy it the way it is.

(05/08/2012) I saw early pictures of this project. Bryan’s done a good job bringing it back to life.
“What you are looking at is an original restored 1945 WWII Ford GPW Jeep. These have become quite rare. Nearly all parts are “F marked” from the factory all the way down to almost every bolt! This Jeep is nearly complete from top to bottom and is mainly all original. All that you see on the Jeep goes with the Jeep. The body is in very good condition. The front floor has been repaired along with all the hat channels. The rear floor was replaced. The bottom of the floor and top of the floor has been coated in bed liner to protect the metal from future elements. The transmission Is the original T84. For a 67 year old vehicle, this Jeep looks great and is ready for you to hop in a go. Its ready for that around town drive or that WWII reenactment. The engine runs perfectly with great oil pressure and no smoke and is an original WWII engine top to bottom. The brakes have been reworked, and all the electrical replaced including the gauges. The tires are new 600-16 6 ply military NDT tires; thats the original style from the factory. The data tags and frame are number matching! The Jeep has a clear title! Sold as is.

Runs and drives, but needs polish at the very least. Looks like a good foundation for a restoration.
“this is a very rare willys, only 4500 ever made. based on m38a1. runs and drives, has lots of original and hard to find ambulance only parts. would be a great full restoration project.”
Even if there is some work left, I’m seeing a lot of value here.

The front of the frame has been modified, the rest of this looks stock and solid. The red jeep in the back ground is also for sale here.
“RUNS DRIVES! GOOD TITLE IN HAND! PLEASE CALL”
Needs a different engine.
“The vehicle has all parts necessary to run minus the engine. The engine blew and is unrepairable. It has little to no rust. I have only owned it for 5 months.

Parts not yet installed but included with the sale:
Windshield wiper system (for drivers side window), turn signal kit, rear-view mirror, and two side mirrors.
I will also include the “original” service manual, parts manual and owners guide. The reason I’m selling this Jeep is because I am in the USCG and I’m transferring this summer and I do not have the time to replace the engine and get the Jeep back to 100%. I would prefer a local buyer. Price is somewhat flexible pending your shipping/transport arrangements.
Price: $3,700

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9950
This looks good. It looks restored as a M676, though it probably really is a FC-170.
“1962 Willys FC 170 Jeep older restoration, 226 superhuricane 6 cyl. new master cal, 5 new NDT military tires, NY licensed and inspected”
According to this Pakistani Blog (in English?) this CJ-3B was “The Jeep of Indian Major General Parasad; he left it and ran away during a retaliation attack by Pakistani forces”. It was part of the 1965 War. I hope the Pakistani forces didn’t blow it up.

Here is a CJ-2A that was for sale at a garage sale. It looks in very good condition. The garage sale was May 4th and 5th. It might be still available.

“Bought this as an off roading project and later on I bought a 4×4 ATV, so I no longer need this. Has no engine, but has the rest of the drive train. Has no wiring at all, but most else is there. Also has a very beat up hard top. ”
