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 listed at $2500.
“1957 RARE WILLYS JEEP, RESTORATION STARTED BUT NEVER FINISHED DUE TO ILLNESS. THIS WILL BE A GREAT PROJECT TRUCK FOR THE JEEP ENTHUSIAST AND FUN TO DRIVE WHEN FINISHED.”
I do believe it just left his place last week. Someone’s project gone a stray.
Yes it was stored here for the last 8 years.
What is good about this FC-150 truck:
More than 8 years ago, a nice lady asked us to help her, the truck came here, for a few repairs and temporary place to store it. It came here in pieces, but we later had the truck running, and the engine ran good.
It started life as a 1957 narrow track, but it had a very badly rusted and damaged original equipment frame, that had been previously cracked, it had previously had several different areas that were poorly welded up. Unfortunately the metal fatigue caused the truck to sag on one side.
What was done was a body off replacement, of a completely restored 1962 wide track chassis, scrubbed sand blasted or power brushed to bare metal, POR 15 coated, primed and enamel painted frame, all gaskets were replaced for the running gear and engine, also painted. The body is pretty complete, it has a lot of the hard to find 57 only items, great unmolested dash, heater, dome light, I put on a great set of replacement doors, the window risers and latches all work good, all glass is complete, with some lamination showing on the bottom of the windshield that has no cracks. Additionally it does have the addition of the rear counter weight, it needs to be finished. The picture shown is the original picture of when it first arrived, it is not pretty but it does look better today.
It is OK to contact me if you want more details.

I did forget to mention a lot of things including, We also added a few toys to the engine, that is converted to a 12V system, a 12V starter, a 12V Delcotron Alternator, and a Solex carb.
It went to a good home….my home in Mesa, AZ. I can’t wait to get it back on the road.
Thanks for the update. Congrats Brian!
