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 .

“Hi, I’m looking to sell my 1948 Willy’s cj2a jeep project. It is all original and in need of some work. It has all the parts except a battery, I even have metal for the bodywork. It needs body work including floors, assembly, and the frame needs to be fixed in a spot.
I, also have lots of extra parts, a plow and everything to use it, and a set of 1948 license plates. It doesn’t have a title because it’s so old, but it comes with a bill of sale.
I’m not really in a rush to get rid of it, I don’t really have interest in it anymore and I’d like to get something that has some more power. I am interested in trading for an El Camino, Ranchero, Brat, Rampage, old Dakota, muscle car, or maybe something else let me know, or just cash.”
This map only shows our route from Colville to Priest River, but we drove home late Thursday night.
I stayed up late Wednesday night completing emails and posts, so we stayed in bed until 10AM at Benny’s Colville Inn motel in downtown Colville. The motel was a solid 1 1/2 stars. We had a king bed with slightly uneven box springs. The bottom sheet wasn’t fitted, so it moved easily underneath us. But, the room was quiet, cool, and comparatively cheap. The lobby was unusual, part taxidermy showcase and part firearms museum. The staff was friendly, especially an older female gardner who began to talk to us and wouldn’t stop. I finally had to close the room door, albeit graciously, while she talked until she couldn’t see us anymore. She was a little off . . .
The other oddity we encountered involved the water. When we took our showers, we had the MOST difficult time washing the soap off of us. Either they softened the water too much or there was something else in the water, but neither of us could recall such a difficult time removing soap. Since we’d brought the soap from home, we knew it had to be something in the water (we finally had to use towels to feel clean of the soap).
At 11AM we pulled out of the motel, the temperature already in the low 80s. It was going to be hot again. We drove up to Kettle Falls, then turned to drive north toward Canada. Our first stop was at the Roosevelt Reservoir, a large body of water fed by the Columbia River, which winds through much of Washington State until it flows by our home in Pasco a couple miles away. One of the neat aspects of the Roosevelt Reservoir area is that the shorelines remain free of houses, giving the area a remote, peaceful feeling.
Roosevelt Reservoir behind us.
Back on Hwy 25, we stopped at every campground to evaluate them for future camping. Our favorite place was a small no-reservation campground called North Gorge. This campsite would have been perfect had we brought the motorhome. There were no other sites adjacent to it.

“I have a super rare 1962 Willys FC-150 (Forward Control). Approximately 8800. It’s powered by a 4cyl F4 with a 3 speed T-90 transmission (rebuilt) all new brakes, carb was rebuilt, new shocks, 12volt conversion chassis was all painted. All lights and directionals work. Heat works. All glass is there and in great shape. The body is rough in some spots but it’s all there. I was driving the truck every weekend and let me tell you the stares and looks I would get were worth the truck alone.”
In 1986 during a jeep drive around Washington I stopped by to visit my great aunt and uncle, Tom and Ev in Oroville. That’s when I took the top photo. Yesterday, I decided to recreate the photo. Since Tom has since passed, I stood in for him.
As I remembered from my previous visit to Oroville in 1986, my great aunt Ev was a gracious host and great cook. We awoke at eight O-clock on Wednesday morning to find a table set with fresh fruit and home made granola. She also whipped up some eggs and bacon for us. Good stuff!
After breakfast we toured the apple orchards that they farmed for many years before selling them. Naturally, if she needs some fresh fruit during the summer, she doesn’t have to go far out her backdoor to find some!
At 90yo, she still can farm a mean garden! The orchards are behind her garden. In the background stands “Numbers Mountain” where the high schoolers used to paint mark their class years.
