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 .

“Parting out 1969 Jeep CJ5. Pricing depends on part. CASH ONLY.l”
https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/pts/d/1969-jeep-cj5/6343223673.html
Not too long after Kaiser acquired Willys-Overland the company introduced a dealer news periodical. What I learned recently is that initially the periodical was called Kaiser Willys News. It wasn’t until March of 1955 that the Kaiser name was dropped and it was renamed Willys News. Apparently, it was felt that the jeep dealers needed different information and support from that of the auto dealers? I don’t know for sure, but it makes sense.
Here are examples of each periodical.
This is some kind of award related to dealers and the Jeep-Maverick partnership. Anyone know more? Seller describes it as a “Maverick Sponsorship ERA”

The seller explains that this is registered as a 1957, but is actually a 1962.
“For Sale 1957 Jeep Forward Control 3/4 ton Pick Up Truck Model FC170
This Jeep FC170 is currently licensed, insured and driven almost every day
Sale to be executed via “Bill of Sale” only as GA does not title vehicles this old. I will also provide the current registration which most states accept for non-titled vehicles (check with your state before bidding).
This truck was completely gone through to make it a safe and reliable daily driver. It is driven locally almost every day (driven over 2500 miles in 2 years). I have taken it on several trips of 100 miles or more and it is very reliable. It will only do about 50 mph so it’s not really an interstate cruiser. Overdrive could be added to gain another 5 mph for about $800 from “Herm The Overdrive Guy.”
THE GOOD (Mostly things done to make safe and reliable)
* New brake master cylinder
* New brake wheel cylinders (all 4 wheels)
* New brake shoes (all 4 wheels)
* New Brake drums (rear)
* Front brake drums were turned
* New front wheel bearings

* New steel and rubber brake lines (all)
* New exhaust, muffler and tailpipe
* New emergency brake cables (front and rear)

* New electric fuel pump
* New 1 wire alternator

THE BAD

* Engine runs and drives fine but is old and a bit tired, has a lifter tick but runs and runs like a sewing machine
* Windshield is not cracked but has wiper blade wear marks on passenger side and frosting at some edges
* Wing windows, rear cab windows, back glass and driver’s door glass all fine but passenger door glass has cracks but is usable and will roll up and down
OTHER FEATURES
* 10×15 aluminum wheels with newer tires (80%+ tread remaining)
* Original front bumper modified/fabricated for 8000 pound Warn Winch mounted on 2″ receiver hitch tray (can be removed and mounted on rear or trailer and it uses welder leads to plug into battery circuit)
* Fabricated Scout bumper for the rear with 2″ receiver hitch with 4 & 7 trailer light plugs

COMMENTS
This has been the most amazing vehicle I’ve ever owned. It gets more attention that any Muscle Car or 4WD vehicle I have ever owned or known. It’s not a trailer queen by any means but would be a great candidate for a total restoration (good bones and complete). Every-time I stop to go in a store there are people waiting for me to come out to ask “WHAT IS THAT?” I’ve had as many as 10 people waiting for me in the Lowes parking lot, even women who in my experience aren’t usually that interested. It doesn’t go real fast, 45-50 tops but it is very reliable. I would drive it anywhere if it weren’t for the speed and gas mileage isn’t that great either with low gears.
It’s registered as a 1957 because that’s what was on the Minnesota title said but Jeep Serial Number lists indicate it is actually a 1962.” Continue reading
Could be worth a look.
