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 .
This might make a good restoration.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Appears worth a look.
“I bought these here on craigslist earlier this year. (and paid more than I’m asking) I had big plans but life has gotten in the way. A medical issue has all but assured that I will never get them back on the road. The 1965 is somewhat rare. I was told it was one of the last FC170’s made. Only a handful were actually built in 1965. The previous owner did a lot of work to it and it shouldn’t take much to get it running. Both trucks have inline six motors. The parts truck is full of extra parts. I don’t know what goes to which but there is a lot of stuff. Extra seat frames and windows too. The ’65 has a clean title the ’62 didn’t come with a title. They have to go as a package, will not separate. Let me know if you have questions but please don’t jerk me around. Thanks!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.

UPDATE: The magazine Guion from Uruguay published a one-page article about the jeep, along with the cover page (shown at the bottom). My Spanish isn’t so good, so I have to guess, based on the photos, that the article discusses the problems caused by groups of young women in bikinis roving the beaches of Uruguay. Oh, what terrible problem that would be!?!?
This cover was published as part of the April 1947 issue. Thanks to Christian (via Derek Redmond) for sharing this one.
Scott spotted this jeep in what looks to be an older Peanuts cartoon by Charles M Schulz. If you are in the Santa Rosa, California, area, be sure to drop by the Charles M. Schulz Museum. Pretty neat!
