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 $1000.
Listed as a 1948 Jeepster, this is neither a 1948 nor a Jeepster.

Get your FCs loaded! It is time for the 2011 FC Roundup in Phoenix, Az, March 25, 26 & 27th. If you need more information, check out the 2011 information page at thefcconnection. Or, view past roundups here.
Contact Info: Jesse Ybarra, M677jeep@cs.com
This is your personal invitation: You are invited to attend another “Most Excellent” Jeep Forward Control Roundup in Phoenix, AZ.
This is a limited invitation to only 1957-65 Jeep FC and 1961-65 FJ3-6 vehicles, USPS US Mail FleetVans or civilian Fleetvans. (not for DJ or any other AM USPS van) it is also not an invitation for any other model of Jeep or Willys Vehicles.
We invite all Jeep Forward Control Owners and Jeep FleetVan owners and friends to come and see several of these vehicles on display and meet with other FC / FJ owners.
Each year we have had several Jeep FC-150s narrow and wide tracks, FC -170 SRW / DRW, a few Military M-series FCs and a few FleetVans on display, this year, again we will have a variety of original unrestored, full restorations, and some repowered vehicles on display.
Please try to attend, with your vehicle running or not, in any stage of completion or condition, or bring pictures. Plan to meet with other owners that generously continue to come here and volunteer their time and information, learn new ideas and proceedures, this energy from my friends may give you that extra ambitious incentive for owning yours, or wanting to have one.
Bring your FC items, toys, memorabilia, photos, artwork, literature, and manuals to display. New FC related products and special tools will also be shown. There is no charge for the event. We do welcome and are always very grateful for any FC related items that are donated for the free raffle. FC Roundup event hats, T-shirts, Hot dogs and refreshments will also be available. Roundup information.
To the new FC or FleetVan people, It may be confusing, which Roundup to go to, they are all good, I wish we had more everywhere. I suggest go to all of them. One thing happens at all of them, they are events for FC Owners and friends to see and talk only about FC vehicles, where parking is for FC vehicles only. You do not need to have your FC to be here. If looking at pictures is good, seeing other vehicles and meeting the owners, to ask about details will help forever.
Each year after the AZ FC Roundup, someone says after the event, that they missed it. Mark your next year’s calendar, this event is always the last weekend of March, we have always been fortunate enough to have, Most Excellent weather at that time. And regardless of whatever else is going on, to me this event is more important, this event will always be here Friday thru Sunday.
This event is minutes from the Airport, no need for a rental car, we are fortunate to have a light rail that can bring you from the airport to here close to the event, where you can be picked up by one of our volunteers and brought to the Roundup.
Along the way are Motels at previous stops, you can also get back on the light rail and be picked up in an FC. We daily have places to drive FCs, so if you have never rode in an FC, do it here.

“I have a Willys Jeep Ramsey PT1-J Power take off (PTO) up for bid. This is the dual output single shift PTO that fits the Willys Jeep cj2a, cj3a, cj3b, and cj5. It will also work in the military jeeps mb, gpw, m38, m38a1. I have also been told this PTO will work with the early International Scout, but I am not sure about this. It does fit the model 18 transfer case. The PTO is in good condition and turns freely. It will need to be cleaned up, and probably will need new seals. I had it in my m38 until I found the proper pto for my jeep. Please email me with any questions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
The engine is frozen.
“This 1963 FC 170 has been owned by my uncle for the past 25 years or so. It was originally purchased in a farm in upstate NY and towed home to NJ. The engine and transmission were rebuilt. It has the Hurricane inline 6 engine. It currently has a 12 volt alternator and all related components were switched to the 12v versions. In the mid 90s, the entire frame was swapped out for a rust free unit. I believe the axles were also rebuilt at some point (I think the ratios are 4.11) with the 3 spd trans. The stake bed was also replaced. Recently, the truck has sat for a while which unfortunately caused all of the brakes to seize up. These were also completely replaced last year, including the booster. Unfortunately, during this time, the engine has froze and we have been unable to get it moving again. The overall condition of the truck is pretty decent, except for the cab. It has rust in all the usual places with several floor board holes. The door hinges are shot on the one side and the other is on the way out (be careful opening them!). I think the only piece of glass that is good is the rear window. The truck has a functioning plow setup and it was used for many years as a plow rig. I believe it is a PTO style pump that runs off of the flywheel, but I’m not positive. The jeep is currently located in Atlantic Highlands.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This appears to be a disassembled M-38. The price is a bit high given it’s incomplete.

I’ll be taking the next two nights off. See you next year on the 2nd! Happy New Year!
Over the past year and a half Chris (from Mossy Rock, Wa) and I have been trading emails every-so-often as he works his way through his flat fender project. He recently figured out how to work with some bondo; he also tried his hand at using Herculiner. You can see the results below. It’s a bit of a trial and error process for him, but he’s making good progress.
January 1st is his birthday, so have a great birthday Chris and keep the pics coming!
Maggie mentioned to me that she was searching for a Jerry Can Tool Box someone built and displayed on line. With a little searching we tracked it down to Jeepforum.com. I’ve included two pics of it below. You can see all the pics here.
Hog forwarded this auction. Bidding just ended on this CJ-5 previously owned by Bing Crosby, reaching a high of $5850. I suspect it will be back on eBay at some point.
“Barn stored since 1973. Perfect running condition. Originally used on Rising River Ranch by the Crosby Cattle Co. Owned by Bing Crosby from new until 1973. All original, but seats and turn signal assembly. As you can see in the pictures the cosmetics are not perfect, but are easily fixed. This thing could climb a wall! She’s ready to go and up to date on all paperwork. Pink slip in hand.”
UPDATE: An eWillys reader bought all the parts.
