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 .

Here’s another ‘Cool’ jeep from Cali.
“This is a 1952 Willys Army jeep in need of a restore. It has never been restored. The engine indicates it was rebuilt in occupied Japan. It’s located in Cool, California, half way between Auburn and Placerville in Gold Country. Bring cash and pick up this awesome project car! Here’s a link to some photos: ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
“Here is a 1958 FC 170 that has been in the shed for 30 yrs. It was my grandpa’s and he has passed away so now it is up for sale. I don’t know what year he bought it and i don’t know much about the history except that the last job he used it for was to fix the pasture fence. I know this because i cleaned out the fence posts and barbed wire. My mom said he always really loved this truck b/c it was his first four wheel drive. the last date on the tag is 1980 so i would say that is when he quite driving it. I got it out a week ago to get it ready to sell. I blew off the motor, checked the oil and air filter, oiled the pistons, put in a battery, checked for spark, rigged up a small gas tank (i did not was to run any old gas through the carb) and then i turned the key. It started right up and my brother and i were taking turns driving it around the farm! this is a cool old truck. So needless to say the vehicle runs and drives. I shifted through all the gears in the transmission and it all felt good. looks like the back seal on the engine is leaking. the brakes do not work. tires are old but hold air, one goes down in a day or so. I can start it for you if you buy it, but i am keeping the battery. I am not sure of the actual miles on this jeep and i don’t recall what the odometer reads so give me a call and i’ll go look at it. the bed is pretty rusty, especially in the front and on the side tubes. the cab looks to be in good shape except for down low on the back sides, see pics. No rust to speak of around the windshield. a dent in the front and some other digs and dents around the vehicle, see pics and call if you want more info. the glass is all good except for passenger window. If that is not enough info I would be happy to tell you more.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
This sure looks in curiously good shape for being parked in tall grass.
“1965 Jeep Tuxedo Park Mark IV Model. Needs restored, engine runs, floor boards rusted out, all parts there.”

(03/21/2011) This looks like it’s restorable. Unclear if it runs.

“54 CJ3b Has not run since 1978. Engine does not turn over. Body is badly rusted where channels are located. No title. Great restoration project. Nearly complete. Missing one hood latch and part of the turn signal switch as far as I know (probably missing a few other minor parts I don’t know about). The drive train appears complete and original. Has lock out hubs, hardtop, heater, vacuum brake booster, vacuum windshield wiper. Has 47,300 miles on odometer. Located in Los Alamos, New Mexico. If I was restoring it, I would probably buy a new body for it. The frame looks good for restoration.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
Looks good.

“1954 CJ-3B. This early CJ is in good condition and runs very well. The carburetor has been rebuilt along with a new fuel pump and filter. The fuel tank was removed and cleaned then treated with a chemical sealant made especially for the task of restoring old fuel tanks. The original 4-cylinder engine also received new plugs, wires, oil, filter, etc. this past year.
The drivetrain is original and in proper functioning condition. The 4-wheel drive works as well as hi/low range. The electrical system is the original 6 volt and also functions properly. Head/brake lights, turn signals and even the electric wiper (converted from vacuum) all operate well.
The hydraulic plow works. It’s lifted by a single cylinder and swivels manually. It has a fresh coat of Caterpillar-yellow paint on it.
The interior of the CJ is pretty basic with a late-model bench seat put in sometime in the past. There is an under-dash heater plumbed in but its working condition is unknown at this time. The fuel gauge does not work; there is no sending unit in the tank. The windshield has several cracks.
The major areas of concern on the vehicle are the brakes and front suspension. The brakes do work, they are just very soft and the pedal goes to the floor. The fluid is full so likely the master cylinder is shot and/or the brakes need bleeding. The front suspension is very worn from carrying the plow for many years. Also of concern is most of the tires have very little tread and all are severely weather-checked.
Overall this is a very sound Willys that can be restored or used as is for plowing in the winter (even has a block heater). I haven’t spent a lot of time underneath it but there is not a lot of rust. You should come make that evaluation yourself. I can get more detailed photos of any areas of concern if you’re a very serious buyer. Realize it’s nearly a 60 year old vehicle though and priced very reasonably. MT title is in hand; vehicle has not been registered for the road since the early 1980’s.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $11,000
(03/21/2011) This is a pretty rig. It’s mostly stock, though there are a few changes. One of them is that the windshield arms have been swapped in a clean manner for differently shaped arms. I thought the idea to put the lights under the rear was a creative solution to keep from drilling lights into the body; however, if they will take a pretty good pounding in dirty or gravel from flying rocks or dirt or water.
“This 1946 Willys CJ2A was completely restored and runs like a Swiss watch! Less than 1,000 miles of recently rebuilt flathead 4 cylinder engine. Carb rebuilt. All seals replaced, no leaks. 4×4, hubs, transfer case and transmission all in top-notch condition. New paint job — a real head-turner! New military tires. It breaks my heart to part with this Jeep, but I’m having to relocate for work and can’t take it with me. My loss is your gain! Happy to answer any questions you have. Please call 561-450-7524 or email mediarazzi@gmail.com.”

(04/30/2011) If the rust is light, this might not be a bad price.

I ran across these images today of a rusted CJ-2A. The photos were taken in 2008 by Dave Scottin Heathcote, Ontario, Canada, and posted on Flickr. Check out the governer throttle along with the 3 datatplates. I think this sitting in a junkyard or in an area with other rusted vehicles. If you scroll over the map on Flickr, you can see exactly where it is. I think there might even be some useful parts on this, too. Given the governor throttle, I wondered if it might have a rear PTO (Click on the 3rd photo and I think you will see the top of a cutoff PTO lever). You can even almost make out the serial number on the data plate (click on image 2).
This has some dents, but might be worth a look at this price.
