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 .

(02/10/10) I love the old top. The rest looks a bit rough.
“I have owned this Willys for the last 38 year it has always been garaged. We have had many years of fun with our Willys Hunting, Fishing, and trail riding. The engine was updated to a 1965 chevy 327 2V. in the late 70’s. Saganaw steering box, 12 Volt electrical, heater, 60’s T-bird bucket seats, Winch, and a Custom towing rig attached to the Willys.”
I’m updating the site tonight, so expect a few oddities and probably few posts this evening.
Thanks — Dave
Here’s a short article about a Veteran of WWII named Mr. M C White. He was assigned a Jeep with only 7 miles on it during the war and proceeded to drive it for 3 years, through battles all over Europe. I don’t see a period at the end of the last sentence, so I suspect this article might be longer than it appears?
This article is from the front page of the July 19, 1946 issue of the Mt. Pleasant, Ia, Newspaper [The Mt. Pleasant News]. Thanks to Bruce for the article.
UPDATE: Was $4800. **SOLD**

UPDATE: Well, I have to express a big mea culpa on this one. Ed has pointed out that this has a later model body, which could mean the miles are off as well. See Ed’s comment for more info. Thanks Ed!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1750.
If you can get this to fire up, it appears it would be a great price. Note that this was for sale back in August of 2008 on eBay. It’s not shown in the pics below, but there was some damage on the driver’s side. Also, the seller said the engine ‘runs’ at that time.
“Complete Jeep FC 170 with tons of extra parts. Has been stored for a number of years but was running when parked. Converted to a 302 Ford v8 engine and auto trans but comes with complete original running super hurricane I6 engine, 3 sp trans and transfer case. Has custom flat bed on it now but an original comes with it”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.

This is an unusually painted Jeep. I think the low res of the pics has pixelated this, making it look more unusual.
“
This jeep has been restored and is ready for summer car shows, parades or just to drive around. 3 speed with maximum speed of 45 miles per hour and is a definate eye catcher. This is for the true car collector who has a taste for something unique and spectacular. Must see to appreciate.”
