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: Still Available.
(08/03/2015) Edgar Kaiser was Henry’s son if I’m not mistaken. The family owned a house on Orcas Island. There’s information about it here.
“3rd Owner, originally owned by Edgar Kaiser on his Orcas Island Buffalo Ranch. Very original. Low miles on professionally rebuilt motor.
Runs, drives, starts, stops.”

Does anyone know anything about the other Willys Jeeps at Kaiser’s estate on Orca Island? Supposedly, he had one of the three prototype FC-Commuter vans there.
Dan,
As you may remember, I worked in the San Juan Islands for several years (1986-1989). I had one of the few flat fender jeeps on the island at that time. I never saw nor heard much about any FCs (though I was unfamiliar with them at the time) nor did I hear much about the Kaiser estate on Orcas.
The best bet would be to contact the San Juan Historical Society (https://www.visitsanjuans.com/account/san-juan-historical-society-museum) to see if they have any info. Most of the history I heard about Orcastime at that centered on Robert Moran and the Rosario Resort (https://rosarioresort.com/museum).

Thanks, Dave. I just emailed the historical society.
