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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 is a unique item.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(10/10/2010) This looks this has been put to use.
“1962 willys jeep fc170. The jeep just came from Arizona. I was going to restore it but a different opportunity came along.
It has not run in about three years. It has a pto winch and a mico brake lock system, not sure how it works but looks like its factory
installed. There is some rust through the driver’s side floor but is small and should be an easy fix. The rest of the cab is very solid.
The bed is in fairly good shape. There is some rust through the floor in the front, not big at all, about 12″x12″. The rest of the bed looks good, despite a a few small dents, but is very solid. All the id plates are still there. The brakes do not work. The clutch appears to work.
It needs a driver’s side window and windshield is cracked. The jeep needs to be restored and gone through to make it road worthy.
It would be a fun project for the right person; these jeeps are getting hard to find without being rotted beyond repair.
The jeep has been on the west coast. This is the first time it has been on the east coast. It is stored in a 20′ shipping container on my property so its out of the weather.”
This ad appeared in volume 2 No. 13 issue of Montana Sports Outdoors of Missoula, MT. The magazine includes a full page ad for an unusual ‘Jeep’ being endorsed by UNITED CATTLE COMPANY OF BIG SANDY. I can’t imagine this ad ran in too many magazines. The text of the ad notes that the cattle company was purchasing its 18th jeep.
Craig just posted a good article about a FC-150 Fire Truck an Austrian owner shared with him.
