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 .

Craig has just posted the Antique Automobile Club of America’s article about the Lafian FC Power Hoe. It’s an interesting article with some good photos.

This brochure demonstrates the correct ways to plow.
“original part color folder , 3.5 x 9 folded , 17.5 x 9 unfolded , shows FC170 , Jeep Universal and Jeep Pickup with Meyer snow plows.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
(09/19/2012) Looks like the damage is to the passenger door and the cab.

“Selling a Jeep Willys FC-170 w/ a dump bed and w/ wide snow plow.
This jeep has a heavy duty dump bed and a heavy snow duty snow plow. The motor ran when we parked it a few years ago. We drove it to were it sits now. The engine did need a tuneup and potentially more. The dump bed was working off the motor driven hydraulics when we parked it as well as can be seen in the pictures.
Email us if you are interested or have questions about it.
There is also 2 other FC-170’s with different configurations (one is a flat bed, $500, and one is a utility bed, $800) that are for sale. $2,000.00 for all 3.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
(10/23/2012) It runs and drives, but has rust. It’s unusual to see a towbar on the front of a FC!

(10/28/2012) Doesn’t look too bad to me.
