About eWillys
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.
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 .
“Up for sale is my 1957 Willys FC150. The truck is in great shape and starts right up. Vent windows and door glass are out of the truck but I do have them. Seat were removed stripped and repainted and the seat rails are in great shape. Brand new battery has been installed. The body and bed of the truck were sand blasted and then powder coated candy red about 2 years ago however the car was parked outside up until a couple months ago so there is some fading on the roof. The steering box was removed and fully rebuilt and reinstalled on the vehicle about 2 months ago. I have lost interest in the project so I am asking $9500 or best offer”
“This is a 1958 Willie’s jeep FC150. Super rare hard to come by, 100 present complete and together. Also have a spare mill spec flex fuel engine for it as well.”
This auction will occur Oct. 12 & 13, 2019, in Mt. Solon, Virginia. It includes one nice looking FC-150, one FC-150 condition unknown, and one part’s FC.
“1966 1 ton Mail Jeep for sale. Needs to go to a good home. Asking price is negotiable. make me an offer. Located on the Olympic Peninsula, WA. Ran when parked. Until recently garaged. Disc brake conversion on front brakes. Would like $1,000 but just need it gone. It is too big for my route”
“Changing focus. I’m selling my FC-150 to make room for a different project. Truck does run. But I had plans to swap in a modern motor and transmission. Body has been separated from the frame and some body work has been started. Has some rust in the cab corners and under the battery tray. But overall it’s pretty solid.”
David & Ann overlooking Crater Lake National Park in Oregon.
We split the remainder of our drive home from Conord into two days. I had a few plans to meet folks, but had to give up on them as we simply didn’t have much time on our return trip (Ann had a doc appt on Tuesday morning).
Our total mileage came in at just over 2000 miles, so it wasn’t too long of trip by our standards. We drove through four states, into three national parks, by two ordnance depots (Hawthorne, NV, and Concord, CA), and picked up one hood (thanks again Chuck). Best of all, we got to hang with my daughter Kasia! All-in-all a fine, if quick, trip.
I wish I could report on a thousand adventures from California to Washington, but apart from driving (without anything hitting us while driving), our only two adventures worth noting on our return home was our visit to the Harry and David store in Medford and our stop at Crater Lake National Park.
On Sunday we went out to breakfast with Kasia, then began our trek north. When we reached Medford, we were surprised to find out that there was a Harry and David Store right around the corner from our hotel. If you’ve never ordered food from Harry and David (they ship all over the word), you are missing out, especially with their pears. As my son put it, BEST PEARS EVER! Even a couple pears we bought from their store were excellent!
Naturally, we didn’t stop at pears. We also bought some cheese, some crackers and some unusual sausages made from ham and cheese (delicious). I can’t find them online, but they are really good. We munched on our food haul for dinner Sunday night.
On Monday morning, we left early, heading east for Crater Lake National Park. I’d never been there and Ann couldn’t remember being there, so it was a new experience for us both. The morning was beautiful and we made good time driving, until we ran up behind a couple school buses. After that, the going was slow, but the tree-lined two-land road was very relaxing none-the-less.
Our first stop at the National Park was the visitor’s center, where we learned there were three separate entrances to the park (we can in on the west side). We also learned we could circumvent Crater Lake using a national park road that had several beautiful vistas of the lake.
Soon, we were driving around the lake (while snacking on Harry & David food).
