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 $8500.
Appears worth a look.
“1959 Jeep CC170 one ton truck extremely rare find! Runs great!
Would be great to keep it in the condition it’s in or turn this into a great restoration project!”
It appears to have been a fire truck which may mean it has a 4 speed. Some people are just too shy on giving info in their ad or at least enough pictures to tell the story.
Good price. Given the front winch it may also have A rear PTO to run the pump since it was a fire truck.
I’m sorry, but there’s no way to tell if that’s a good price or not…..You need to go look at it and I bet you’ll find problems that weren’t shown in pictures not taken. Could be a nice one though.
The question I have is……… Jeep made almost no DRW’s, why do so many of them seem to have survived.
For guys interested in this I believe the owner knows of the whereabouts of the original firetruck body that came off of this truck. It would be neat to see it brought back to its original state. I am pretty sure the owner has the complete history of it as well.
Matt: Thanks for the update on the firetruck body.
Mark: It’s true that you never know if something is a deal or not until you go see it. But, that said, a running driving dually is fetching pretty good prices these days, so if there are no surprises, based on the pics we have, this could be a fine price. To answer your question as to why so many are around? Maybe they just weren’t used all that often, so they were mostly parked in barns/sheds/shops, which helped preserve them? That’s my best guess…
This rig comes out of Searcy, AR & was driven around frequently. The rear fire truck portion is in the Little Rock area, & probably available for purchase. Former owner is a solid mechanic. It will be interesting to see what this goes for & where it ends up!
Interesting dump body on it now. Similar to a Burma Jeep.
I’m trying to contact the owner. The craigslist ad doesn’t give me the contact information.
Does anyone have the contact info?
Thanks, DAVE
Hi Dave,
Yep, that phone number isn’t showing up for me either. It looks like the only way to contact the seller is to email through the Craigslist email system. This is the email address: b07e92623a5d3aa59a4a14874b51a26b@sale.craigslist.org

I have had CL ads say “an error has Occurred” for the phone number that sometimes works later, or worked earlier or maybe works from another computer.
This was available on Facebook for a long time and I thought the owner sold it after dropping the price a few times. Maybe new owner selling or a scam.
Ad deleted
Thanks for the update Rudy.
