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 .

Karl Teuschl, a documentary filmmaker from Germany, included a couple of our Alaska Or Rust folks in his newest film that was released yesterday in parts of Europe (Germany, Austria and Switzerland). It’s a beautiful documentary that covers the Alaska Highway and gives viewers a good sense of the road conditions, the scenery and the feel of driving the highway.
Two of the Alaska Or Rust jeeps appear at the 18:30 mark. The interview with Marty Tilford, Don Brown, Rob and Diane Stafford starts at the 19:38 mark. It ends at 20:30. Most of it is in German. Unfortunately, Ann and I headed south just before the point where we would have met up with Karl, so after six months of emails he and I didn’t get a chance to meet.
L to R: Diana Stafford, Rob Stafford, Don Brown, Marty Tilford
A good shot of the remoteness of the highway.
Nice inclusion of the eWillys sticker 🙂

The Bantam Festival will be opening its registration on January 10th. New events this year include a Jeep pull (pulling weighted sled), Jeep decorating, an Invasion after party, some games of Jeepardy, and more.
Tired of the cold? Maybe you should head for Arizona and the 27th Arizona Military Vehicle show January 27th – 28th in Tempe. Our own Joe-in-Mesa will be there with his GPW. The event is sponsored by the Arizona Military Vehicle Collectors Club (AMVCC).

This was published around 1950. It’s less story and more marketing, but still interesting. The argument that the trencher doesn’t affect the roadability of the jeep might be a stretch ….
UPDATE: Price dropped to $400.
(12/08/2017) Roger’s got this set of dual wheel adapters for sale. One side of the adapter has been welded onto 15″ rims. These appear to be the same unknown adapters as the sets seen in #5 on this list. If you’d like to know more, contact Roger at 937-477-5270.
UPDATE: Roger added the following information … Harold, the guy who sold me the FC Scale Model, said his Dad’s dealership was in Sherman Jeep in Maryland. His Dad had the dealership from approximately 1958 to 1985. He said when he was a kid he went with his Dad to Toledo, Ohio, to pick up new Jeeps.
Roger Martin purchased this metal FC-170 model the other day. It was owned by guy who owned a jeep dealership for twenty-five years. The owner kept this FC model on his desk. The size of this is 6 1/4″ long x 3″ wide x 2 3/4 tall. Obviously, the rear tires are incorrect … anyone know where rims and tires similar to the front wheels could be purchased?
