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 .

“1958 jeep fc-150 4×4. this is an cool truck, very rare, and in good driving condition, not many made like this, its a ‘forward control” flat nose jeep truck on a cj-5 frame all factory, I drive this truck often, it has the original 4 cylinder, three speed, drive train, factory wheels, i’ve updated some of the items in the truck such as: radiator, hoses, lights, tires, shocks, shackles, gas tank, sending unit, fuel pump, water pump, tune up, rebuilt carb, etc., like i said I drive it regularly, I’ve driven as far as 50 miles from home with it, it only goes 45 mile per hour so its not the best travilin truck, but it will climb anything. it does have some rust in the body, defantly reparable, the frame is straight and repainted, I don’t really want to sell but I could use the money. I have a clean tennessee title in hand. thanks for looking.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250.
This doesn’t run at this time.
“1957 FC 170 (FORWARD CONTROL) 8,000 lbs. on the tag. Overall truck is in good condition for its age and the way the FC’s rust out. Has some small holes in floor by your feet and some small rot in cab corners. Has the hurricane straight 6 in it with the high low box. The engine ran about 5 years ago but was parked due to faulty brakes. The engine now spins over freely but has no spark, looks like a points, condensor, rotor, cap, and wires are needed to hear her run again. The steel stake bed is fully functional dumping box with its own PTO lever and pump and resovoir. This is the first year of hte FC and the only produced them for 6 years. I have many pics and can send them if you would like.”
