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**
(06/05/2009) “My Father is ready to sell his Eastern Washington 1959 FC-170 Jeep located in Chelan, WA. Introduced in 1957, FC-170 models had a 103 inches (2,616 mm) wheelbase with a 108 in (2,743.2 mm) bed. This model is significant as it was the first time the length of the payload box – 9 feet (2.7 m) with the tailgate up – exceeded the wheelbase of a truck. This was achieved by the forward cabin layout. The Jeep starts right up and is ready for you to take it home!”
Buzz called me after he sold it and said he got $4500 for it. He was the second owner, the first being the local airport in Chelan. He said it was a 1959, but serial # that he gave me it was ’57, early cooling tunnel. He had a silent auction going on this truck, rather than stating a price he just kept taking offers until Oct. 1.
What price did it go for.
Duck in WA, I have one already
I think the previous commenter suggests the seller got $4500, unless I misunderstand the first comment.

are these FCs really going for that much now?
It obviously depends on the condition, but here’s a list of FC auction results (Maybe I should consider doing this for early jeeps as well). http://64.151.254.187/fc_auction_results.htm

i was also reading an article and it said if you were going to find a restored one at auction it said expect to pay around 15 grand for one that is fully restored with no flaws.
