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 .
This Hong Kong Extra Edition didn’t include a date, but the Volume and No suggests this is the September 1960 issue. Much of this issue covers the Hong Kong TV show, but there is some Surrey info on page six and seven. Also, the way the paper unfolds is kind of awkward, so I’ve added a few extra scans below.
Page two through page five are all connected physically. Here’s what it looks like when fully open:
Here are the pages in an easier to read format:
Tom shared this solid looking Mule.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1391467201406216
“Runs good, drives good, will take you anywhere. It’s a 1958 M274A4 mule with the magnesium frame, and a 2 cylinder Morse Fairbanks engine produced by Brunswick with only 189 hours, 3 speed manual with high and low. Also equipped with 4 wheel steer, and full time 4X4 and everything works. Comes with a winch, trailer hitch, has tons of lights. Everything on it works as it should, may need a new battery.”
Tom spotted this auction happening Nov 20th. The jeep is item #12 under the Catalog tab: https://onlinebidding.worleyauctioneers.com/Public/Auction/AuctionDetails?AuctionId=zykEIA08G8SGYWxTLaKi6w%3D%3D&pageNumber=pf6Q%2BhJtdeleDd9FfYpy9w%3D%3D&pagesize=O5OaPaZE1XrTjGtTQItkaw%3D%3D&filter=ITUHdU2DoqWvw89vAOs0Dw%3D%3D

“This a Script Ford GPW in need of a lot of work. Definitely worth saving, however I’m not the guy for this one. It was part of a bulk purchase I did in order to get the one I wanted. It is crusty, but has a motor trans and transfer and axles. Haven’t turned motor, and don’t have paperwork. It will take some research on your end, however It did come from an old timer that has had it forever, so its long off the books”
Are the front floors on this replaced or is it an optical illusion?

“1943 Ford GPW. Frame of restoration with original and reproduction parts.

Andy spotted this utility box for sale. I’m not sure of the manufacturer.

“Utility box from a 1954 willys truck. Needs som repair but pretty solid. Will trade for fire wood or snow plow.”
This 8-page issue of Jeep News starts with the announcement of the USPS’s purchase of 4,010 FJ-3s. Willys Motors announced on page 2 the launch of new brochures, including these red and blue jeep family brochures. Page 3 is all Surreys. Pages 4 & 5 are mostly dealer related. Don’t miss the Surrey like FC-170 on page 6 operated by the Hilton Inn of New Orleans. Page 7 shares more Surreys, FCs, and other jeeps. On the last page is a story about the First Company of Sheriff ‘Jeep’ Reserve Corps, out of El Paso County, Texas.
UPDATE: I originally posted this July 2, 2014. Thanks to Barry Thomas for the idea.
I’ve seen the cover of this September 21, 1945, issue numerous times, but never the interior story. So, here it is. Click on the story photo for a much larger version.
Thanks to Joe-in-Mesa for spotting this Facebook post by Andy-Carey (apparently a friend’s house).
There were some jeeps at SEMA 2023 this year, but one of the most interesting was a rebuilt FC-170 by Roy. The excerpt starts at 2;27. (I can’t tell what the narrator is saying, because my sound isn’t working tonight for some reason).
This has a bumper and rear tire carrier update, but appear mostly stock.

“New clutch, new tires, new interior, new windshield, tow bar, lots of extra stuff, 3 speed on the column. Lots of fun to drive. $9000 or best offer.”
Looks like a nice jeep.

“1956? Jeep Willys, inline 4 cylinder. The Jeep will not crank but does not appear to be locked up in any way. The wheels turn, the gears shift, and the steering wheel turns. The engine does not appear to be locked up but that cannot be verified. Most all of the parts of the vehicle appear to be there but many parts are loose. The ignition is not wired up. No keys. The battery is 1-2 years old. A 1-2 year old wiring harness will be provided but is not installed. The tires hold air but not sure for how long. This needs to be hauled away on a trailer. It is sold as-is. There is no title. A bill of sale will be written to the buyer in person at our local bank once the funds are deposited into our bank account. This is a restoration project vehicle. It does not run and will take a lot of work to get it road ready. The price is firm, no other offers will be responded to. No trades. I hope this finds a good home with someone who can restore it. It has good bones, it just needs a lot of work to get it running again”
This appears to include a Warn OD.

“1957 Jeep Willy’s needs to be finished, it has a Buick V-6 mated to an automatic transmission, I bought this project to get running but decided to pass it on to the next owner. Currently on Non-opp and I have the clean CA. Title in hand. Asking $2,000. I will consider trade and possibly add some cash if you have a pre smog running short bed Chevy or GMC truck. If add is up, it’s available so please don’t ask”
