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 .

“Two jeep FC170 trucks. Need a little tlc but run great. Make me an offer on one or both. Mike 5303540807”

There might be some value here.
“1962 Willys Jeep Universal CJ3B, was running when parked 2 years ago. Engine is free, starter disengages before it can crank. Gas tank rusted, was running on auxillary tank. Front half solid and fairly rust free, back half really rusty and floorboards rusted out. Gears shift into position. The frame has an angle iron reinforcement welded to the frame bottom under the driver’s area. The windshield frame, hood, front cowling, fenders and grill are in nice condition for a Jeep this age. The bad rust out is in the rear tub and under the seat areas. The seat pictured DOES NOT COME WITH IT, NO SEATS. USED AS IS. No title, bill of sale only. Located 10 miles south of Oxford Mississippi, aprox. 1.5 hours south of Memphis TN”
From the Missoulian, a newspaper in Missoula, Mt, comes this picture. A friend of mine spotted in the Sunday paper and thought of us (she’s a historian, not a jeep person — good to have friends all over 🙂 ).
The caption with the picture: In another photograph from the end of a successful hunt, Eddie Churchwell displays his bull moose in front of Missoula’s Fire Station 1 in 1955. The moose was taken from the Lolo Creek area and brought home on a Willys Jeep.
I had to update this page because my links I had used no longer work. Fortunately, I found an image of a FC-160 from India (at least the Flickr page claims it is a FC-160 — feel free to correct me on this). This picture was taken in January of this year by Vaibhav Bhosale.
“In 1965 Mahindra & Mahindra of India began assembling the Jeep FC Forward Control. Mahindra introduced its versions to include the FC-160. The FC-160 (and later FJ-160) uses a frame which is 2.33 meters in length. The FC-150s frame was 2.05 meters while the FC-170 used a frame of 2.63 meters in length. Thus, the FC-160 was an intermediate truck, marketed to supplement the FC line and the final version was only manufactured by Mahindra & Mahindra.
The pick-up box was designed and manufactured by Mahindra and there were other bodies which were available. Additionally, the base FC-160 chassis was used in the manufacture of a mini-bus which uses the basic front face of the FC. Currently, Mahindra’s FJ-460 and FJ-470 van or mini-bus vehicles still retain the appearance of the original Forward Control. These vehicles can accomodate from 11 to 15 passengers plus the driver”
Caption from flickr: One of the three Jeep models built by Mahindra & Mahindra. This vehicle was used by my school to train the students on Automobile subject. We used to play hide n seek when it got abandoned.
This looks like good deal. It sounds like they both run?
“1948 green Jeep CJ2, engine, transmission, running gear, frame, all in good working order.
1949 yellow Jeep CJ3, engine, transmission, running gear, frame, all in good working order. Engine needs valve job.
Both Jeeps would be great for a frame-up restoration, or use one for parts
Or Best Offer.”
