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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(11/24/2011) There are a couple other Willys in the background of the photos.

Kevin is selling his FC-170. He writes, “I have for sale a rust free 1963 FC170. This truck has been hit in the driver’s door, I have pulled out most of dent from the door, it still needs someone to repair the cab door opening and then fit the door. This is an old plumbers truck from California and is rust free, someone has installed a V-8 ford motor I think it is a 289 A real nice installation job It has a 4-speed transmission with 427 gears so it goes down the road real nice the dash has been changed out too not sure why but it looks cool almost factory. This truck runs and drives great I have driven it a number of times with the door off around my area. People tend to look at you funny driving around on the freeway without a driver’s door I’m asking $6200 or best offer. ”

“1957 NARROW TRACK. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR. HERE IS THE STORY—I BOUGHT THIS JEEP FOR PARTS BECAUSE I AM RESTORING TWO OTHER FC150’S. THE GUY TOLD ME IT RAN GOOD, IT WAS HIS DECEASED FATHERS. IT WAS SITTING OUTSIDE FOR 7 YEARS WHEN I LOOKED AT IT. I PUT SOME GAS IN IT AND A FRESH BATTERY AND IT FIRED RIGHT UP. WHEN I TIRED TO DRIVE IT ON THE TRAILER IT JUST KEPT LOCKING UP IN THE FRONT. HE SAID HE DID NOT KNOW WHY. WELL I BROUGHT IT HOME AND STARTED TO MESS AROUND WITH IT . I DID NOT HAVE THE HEART TO PART IT OUT BECAUSE THE MOTOR RUNS SO GOOD. NO SMOKE EITHER. HE DID TELL ME THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY OVERHAULED AT SOME POINT IN ITS LIFE.
I TORE THE FRONT END APART AND FOUND THE RIGHT AXLE , RING & PINION, CARRIER ALL BROKEN. DON’T ASK ME WHY, BUT I REPAIRED IT ALL WITH N.O.S. PARTS. I PUT SOME NEW SEALS IN , REPLACED ALL THE BRAKE SHOES, LININGS, WHEEL CYLINDERS, ETC.—ALL GREASE & OIL LEVELS DRAINED AND RE-FILLED. I ALOS GOT NEW RUBBER BRAKE HOSES FRONT AND REAR. PLUS NEW STEEL LINES FRONT AND REAR & A RE-BUILT MASTER CYLINDER. WELL IT RUNS AND STOPS WELL…..”
