About eWillys
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.
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 .

“1960 Jeep Forward Control FC 150 “Slow Tow” Custom build. Original 4cyl, 3sp original drive train. 4wd works as it should. Cranks and runs first try every time. Front PTO that runs the original Ramsey winch. All lights, turn signals, etc work properly. This truck is a real head turner every where it goes. Top speed is a little over 50mph. You can feel all of the factory rated 72 hp. Towing set up is just for show. This was a complete frame off tear down and rebuild. Zero rust on frame. Notice the wiring…there isn’t a rats nest hanging under the dash like many of the other ones listed. Hester works. I put a couple hundred miles on it during cruisin the coast and did the same for jeepin the coast. I own several of these but this is the most fun and I drive it the most. I am moving soon and only have room to keep a few items. Make me an offer because it has to go. Clean title in hand.”
“1957 Jeep Willys FC-150
Frame off full restoration and the finest example of this kind of 3/4 ton truck in the world. Museum quality. drives and runs better than 1957. great eye catcher for an advertising vehicle. Numbers matching everything engine, trans, frame, etc.
No trades please!”
“… Described as having undergone a cab- and bed-off restoration, with recent paint that’s said to be in very good shape, the Jeep has also reportedly received a new bed floor and hardware, and scored a win in its only car-show appearance to date…”
“The brief rundown is, it is a 1958 FC-170. It has a mid-engine Ford 351 with a C6 automatic. The truck has a ton of really cool features, such as a hydraulic bed and deck cover. Suicide doors, custom fiberglass bed. Jaguar rear end with coilover shocks, independent Mustang 2 front end on airbags. Complete custom interior. It really is a lot of fun, and gets attention everywhere it goes. Needs a little bit of electrical help, and could use a good paint job. It runs and drives. No rust. Located in southern Utah. Can help with shipping, if you arrange it.“

==================================
UPDATE (05/25/2021) : This was sold in New Mexico, made its way to New Jersey, and is now being sold out of Texas. Was priced at $25,000.
“Custom 1958 Willys Jeep FC-170. Not a Comanche but did not offer FC so had to use this option. Built on a 1989 Shortened Chevrolet chassis. 350 Chevy small block with 700R4 transmission. Has AC. Not many of these old Jeeps left. Older custom truck so not perfect. Overall in good running condition just needs freshening up. Turns heads everywhere it goes. Only in person offers considered.

UPDATE: This rig was sold on eBay back in 2012 (at one point referred to as “Big Red”). It was relisted on eBay in 2018. The current seller bought it earlier this year. Now, it’s back on the market again, this time being auctioned on BaT (thanks Blaine!). The below pics are from the 2018 post.

Equipment includes a wood-slat bed, power take-off front winch, dually rear axle, and 16″ steel wheels. The truck was refurbished during previous ownership and was acquired by the selling dealer in Arizona in July 2021. This FC-170 is now offered with framed promotional materials and a clean Arizona title.”

Blaine shared this Bring-A-Trailer auction for a nice looking FC-170. I love the old school washer bag hanging from the dash. I have an OEM foot actuated bag in Patterson, but don’t have pics at the moment; instead, here are pics of the Allstate washer bag that came with Patterson.
“This 1963 Jeep FC-170 is finished in two-tone red and white over beige vinyl and is powered by a 226ci Super Hurricane inline-six paired with a three-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case.

The selling dealer acquired the truck in 2017, and service during their ownership included an oil change and replacement of the brake lines as well as the rear brake drums and hardware.

“1957 Willy’s Jeep FC 150. 128,000 original miles. All original except for paint. Everything works. No rust. Located in central Oregon. Can deliver for nominal fee.”
Here’s a John Deere themed FC. Seller included a video.
Here is your chance to own a truly unique, rare, and beautifully restored 4-wheel drive pickup, of which only 1600 were built. This ‘John Deere’ colored Willy’s Jeep was totally restored starting with media blasting the body and frame, cutting out the rust and replacing it with new metal, period correct engine, interior, and wiring in the early 2000’s by an individual in York, PA. There is no rust or rot coming through anywhere. The approximate mileage since completion is about 1200. Current owner purchased the pickup in 2004 and has only driven it to local shows and parades.
Mechanically the Willy’s Jeep runs great; all the lights (headlights, turn signals, brake lights, etc) work like new. Speedometer and odometer function normally, but the horn, new fuel gauge, new temp gauge, and new heater motor were never wired. Owner indicates that they will work without an issue.
