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 .

“1946 Willys Overland. Has nice mb Steering wheel Some rust on underside appears to be untouched for the most part. It does have original drive train. Has new parking brake and cable. This is an ameature restored vehicle. Made from 3 jeeps none of them came with a title, so this vehicle does not have a title. You can have one made for this jeep. Check with your local DMV for more information. This jeep is about 95% complete with slight modifications like gauge panel folds down for easy access to fuses and under dash. The heater and driver seat are not original. Engine has been rebuilt. Tank heater w/ thermostat. Front windshield is fully operational like new. Passenger side window is cracked but both pieces of glass are original. Turn signal lenses are glass not plastic. Has Brass screws in transmission and master cylinder cover so they dont rust solid, and allows for easy removal when servicing.”

(01/12/2011) This looks pretty solid. It might make a good restoration project given it is still 24 volt.

(02/10/2011) This must be painted Civil Service Yellow. Might not be a bad price for a frame off restoration.

(12/24/2010) Parade condition … hmmmm … it does looks solid though. Sounds like it needs some additional work.
“I am parting with my 60+ year old Jeep. This is a very rare vehicle due to the amount of original parts including the Vacuum Wiper Motor! The Jeep is sound with the exception of a hole in the passenger side floorboard and some repairs performed years ago by previous owners.
The paint job IS NOT original. It was painted by the previous owner. This vehicle can be driven daily and has been very reliable driving to and from shows and events. I would say that it is ‘Parade condition’ it looks great from the sidewalk!
Repairs in the last three years:
Wheel cylinders and brake shoes
A new clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, and pilot bushing.
Parking brake repaired
Fuel pump (glass bowl filter style)
(5) Original ‘riveted’ rims installed Non-directional tires & inner-tubes
Stored Indoors
Finding a Jeep of this vintage that still has the original running gear and has not been butchered is very difficult.
This Jeep does need work to be brought up to show quality and the price reflects that.
However, if you are looking for an antique that can be driven and enjoyed in its original condition – you have found it.”
This may be a nice restoration project.
“1962 Jeep Willys pickup. It has an overhead valve tornado straight 6 engine, 3 speed transmission, 4 wheel drive. Had same owner for last 40 years. Starts right up and runs great. Has been sitting, will need battery and brakes. Not a rusty vehicle but has plenty of scratches and dents. Electric winch on the front and pentle tow hitch in rear. Clean title. #719-650-2349.”

This is rare alirght, buy I think it is the paint job that makes it so rare; don’t seem many rainbow FCs!
“This is a rare find. A Jeep FC 150 from the 50’s. I believe it’s a 56 but similar measurements with the 57 cause confusion. As you can see by the photos, it’s in need of a total restoration. For the age, the body is in pretty good shape. The drivers side has a dent. The windshield is cracked. The engine is there but as I said, it needs a mechanic. The bed is in tact. I saw one small hole but other then that, it looks good. The color on the body appears to be original, multi-colored. I have seen other trucks like this one restored and they look really cool and different. There arn’t many of these around so who ever drives it around will get a lot of attention and questions!! If you are seriously interested, contact me with any questions and I’ll get right back to you. If your in need of more pics, I can do that too.”
This appears pretty stock.
“4 cylinder, 3 speed with high/low, 4WD, runs good, clean title, owned 20 years. Call 913-731-3248, no emails.”
