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 $10,500.
UPDATE: Gordon points out that a “Crummy” is a term for a forest worker truck, typically a “six-pack” crew cab or a suburban or van type vehicle.
“Collector item 1959 Jeep w “Crummy Cab” Forward control original USFS rig. They only made about a 1000 of these. 86000 original miles. Great wood truck too. Needs work but runs.”
A “crummy” is a term for a forest worker truck, typically a “six-pack” crew cab or a suburban or van type vehicle. I think that is the intent of the owner, however this would not qualify as a crummy, in any case.
Thanks! I should have done a search on that term before jumping to conclusions. I’ll update the post.
The CL ad also shows a photo of a slide in “crew carrier” that rides on the truck. That’s probably what the owner meant by a crummy.
I’m still learning what a crummy is. It’s natural to call a ’50’s or ’60’s Chevy a suburban, like it’s ’70’s on up wagon built on a pickup truck chassis. I’ve been corrected that the early Chevy panel truck type vehicles with windows was called a crummy, not a suburban.
An International-Harvester was called a Travelall. Was a Chevy called a Carryall?
I educated many laymen about what that thing I’m driving is called. I tell them that they were simply called a Station Wagon manufactured by Willys Motor Co. Every so often I hear someone tell me that they used to own an “Overland”. That’s the only word that irks me like scratching your nails on the blackboard. (lol)
So, I got confused by that camper that is also in the Ad. I thought that rode on a different vehicle (which is why I didn’t included it in the pics above)? Or do you think they threw it on the back of the FC?
I can’t believe with all this talk that nobody has balked at the ridiculous asking price for this thing! It probably has a 4-speed being ex forest service if it really is ex forest service, but 10,500? I could pick up an original one that needs only paint for about 6k down the road from my grandparents..Granted..she started out with a ridiculous asking price like the above, but after months of no bites she got more realistic..
Really? You think that is too high? … 🙂
Yeah….I think the old lady with the one down the road from my grandparents started at about 16k a few years back….Imagine that she still has it? I don’t know why…..Just because it’s rare, doesn’t make it worth a ton of money…..
I was lost on the term ‘crummy’. It sounds like some British vehicle. I mentioned the (too) high price to Steve last night. I remember the term carryall. I’ve forgotten what it referred to though.
