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 August 5th, 1963, article from the St. Petersburg Times describes how Dunedin, Florida, resident Steve Fowler drove from Florida to Los Angeles, north to Idaho, then cross the northern part of the US, before heading back to Florida. The article claims he drove about 10,000 miles. His most worrisome event was a close call at Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park. He was camping near it when a large bear chased him away from his jeep. Sounds like quite an adventure!
A similar version of the photo was sold on eBay in May of 2015.
“1942- Pulled by a quintette of jeeps instead of reindeer, Santa Claus rides a tank at Fort Knox. This was the Christmas greeting from the men of the armored force. Name “Yardbird” is painted on lead jeep. The others look to have names as well but I can’t make them out.”

“1961 M-422 Mighty Mite military jeep.
These were used only by the USMC. Like a mini-Hummer H1 HMMWV. Aluminum body, 4-wheel independent suspension, inboard brakes, limited slip differentials front and rear. Built by AMC.
Air-cooled V4 engine. 4 speed transmission. 4-wheel-drive. Neat little 4×4.
Runs, drives, stops. Batteries are tired and will need replaced. Comes with extras. Two windshields, spare tire and mount, extra generator, rear jump seats, manuals, some other stuff. No top.
Here’s a video link to it being driven.

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was on eBay.
“up for auction is my rare willys jeep fc 170. This is a cabover jeep pickup made for only a few years. The truck starts runs and drives well but will overheat after a few minutes and the brakes need attention. You will need to tow or trailer it away. A chevy 350 engine and automatic trans have been installed. The front driveshaft has not been fitted. The vehicle needs work. The body is solid with minimal rust for the year. It has been a California car all its life. It is a very charismatic vehicle that gets smiles and waves wherever it goes.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $25,000
“For sale, a very rare (1 of 1,119) 1964 Kaiser Jeep Forward Control 170 3/4 ton pickup truck. 1964 was the last year of production for the FC-170 and the end of the Kaiser/Jeep era. This could be your only chance to ever buy a fully restored FC-170, no kidding they are that rare.
This Jeep was fully restored by a professional shop in 2010. Nothing was overlooked, full frame off restoration. Since restoration the Jeep has accumulated approximately 1000 proven miles and runs great. I has the original power train with the legionary Super Hurricane 6 cylinder engine.
Has PTO driven front winch
Custom fuel tank
Custom rear bumper with LED tail lights”
This might be a good price.
“This is the last year Willys made the Jeep. This is a half ton. Runs great. I have used it only on the farm for the last five years so it has not been licensed for 5 years. It has a rebuilt V8 with maybe 50,000 miles. Blazer running gear. Plenty of power. A few rust spots. Been parked under cover in my barn for most of the time I’ve owned it (20 + years). Has had a $350 tune up in the last year. Sold the farm so I don’t need it. Four wheel drive works great. Will go anywhere in 4 wheel low gear. $2000 OBO May consider some type of partial trade.”

Might be a little twisted, but this Porter & Reed top is still worth a look.
“This is a jeep top for a CJ2A.”
It’s a project.
