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.
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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
(12/08/2012) I don’t have a manual in front of me, but I’m pretty sure the radiator mounts in a slightly different spot.
“Selling a Jeep Willys for a friend, please call the listed phone number and ask for Doug, he has all of the specific information on this vehicle if you are interested.
The Jeep does run, plow works nicely and it has a crane jack on the back. The Jeep can be sold with or without the plow and crane.”
I guess the radiator doubles as a heater? Why do people do these things to Jeeps???
That’s a new one.
THAT’S THE HEATER
Haha! Funny Stuff. The things people do to get a jeep running! Crazy
Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha…….. Look at that cross-flow radiator installed sideways! All the comments reminds me of my first FC-170. That’s what cracks me up. All my friends made fun of it and called it the “garbage truck”. The more they shook their heads with disgust, the more I liked driving it. It had a Chevy 6-230 and a vulnerable radiator setup by the PO. The radiator was installed outside the grill, and a hole was cut out under the windshield for the radiator hose that ran in this same location with a metal tube, right by passenger’s left arm. (I’m still laughing that this is just like the one I used to drive in my college days.) It didn’t bother me, but my passenger’s, especially the female ones, hated burning their arm on the radiator hose. It didn’t take long for me to insulate it. When my buddy got my FC a few years later, he put a new radiator where it belongs when he installed in a fresher Chevy 6-250, and he still has it 30 years later.
I still catch hell for my old Willys adventures from my non-Jeeper friends, especially the ones that used to burn their arm. (At least they still remember me for something. lol.)

I always thought a FC would be great for snowplowing with its great visibility, anyone ever plowed with one?
I’ve never plowed with one, but I’ve always been told not to plow with light duty trucks because the frames are too light. FC’s look formidable with a plow, though. I suppose plowing a few inches of light, powdery snow would be O.K. I have a ’48 Willys pickup parts truck with a plow. Both front springs are bent behind the front spring-eye. There may be other damage I can’t see. Highway snow plows always have a shear pin so when the system is overstressed the other parts don’t get damaged. I know a retired mechanic who spent most of his winters repairing highway snowplows.
This video shows how real men plow snow with an FC. (lol):

Makes the specter of a heater core bursting child’s play.
Burns are the worst.
