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 .

Seller must sell due to health.
“1957 jeep fc 150 This is a narrow track fc150. The first year they were made.
It has had a full frame off restoration. Overhauled engine and transmission. Many new parts
speedometer, all new brakes and lines, steering wheel, tires, alternator, window glass, some springs,
shocks and many more. The cab is almost done and the box is not finished. It needs to be prepped and painted.
The reason for selling is I’m in ill health and will not be able to finish,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
(10/28/2017) Runs and plows.
“1957 FC-150 with Western snow plow harness. Serial # 13638. Runs fine used for plowing and hauling fire wood. Need some body attention. Lower crack in windshield.”
UPDATE: Roger added the following information … Harold, the guy who sold me the FC Scale Model, said his Dad’s dealership was in Sherman Jeep in Maryland. His Dad had the dealership from approximately 1958 to 1985. He said when he was a kid he went with his Dad to Toledo, Ohio, to pick up new Jeeps.
Roger Martin purchased this metal FC-170 model the other day. It was owned by guy who owned a jeep dealership for twenty-five years. The owner kept this FC model on his desk. The size of this is 6 1/4″ long x 3″ wide x 2 3/4 tall. Obviously, the rear tires are incorrect … anyone know where rims and tires similar to the front wheels could be purchased?
UPDATE: **SOLD**
(11/14/2017) “I am clearing estate and have One FC 150 Jeep truck left to move. This is mostly complete, rusty, parts truck. Seats are there, as are engine covers (not shown). Driven regularly until in accident in 1986, then parked. It could be fixed up with spare parts that I have for extra money, for a skilled restorer or built heavily modified with non-Willys parts. Green 1959 was rolled and needs windshield, bed, and rear differential (cracked in half) for $800. It is wide track model, 3-speed, 4WD, and has old PA title..”

(11/13/2017) “1962 Jeep FC170 flatbed. Engine runs, flat head 6 cyclinder. These trucks are super rare!! Has windshield!! Needs brake work. Have many parts that will go with the rig.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $4000.
(10/12/2017) Doesn’t run. The fenders give it a stepped look.
“1959 Willys Jeep Forward Control FC 170 for sale!! It has all it’s original drivetrain, flathead Continental 6 cylinder, with 3 speed transmission, transfer case, and Dana axles. It also has Warn lockout hubs.
The glass is all in it, the rear window has a small crack, and the driver’s window is cracked. None of the other glass is broken, but some of it has fogged along the bottoms from age. The cab is in good shape, only has some small spots of rust that I’ve shown in the pictures. Small hole in the passenger side cab corner, (below battery compartment) some small holes in floor boards, and just behind the front bumper. Overall not bad at all. The bed is another story, it has rust in the stake pockets, and the floor.
The truck was originally red and white.
I’ve never tried to get it running, although the engine isn’t stuck and it supposedly had ran. I bought from an elderly man who was the second owner, and had owned it since the early sixties. It only shows 35K on the odometer, he said he only used it for hunting trips.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $6500.

Two projects or parts.
“I have TWO Rolling Chassis. The goal was to combine these two trucks in a restoration project and have since had a little boy and need more than two seats to justify restoring an old truck but I really LOVE the FC trucks. Below I will provide the very best details I have.
1958 FC-150 body and tub (no drive train). Great shape. Barn kept from southern Colorado in the desert.
Exterior: Minimal rust (mainly in the bed seams), cab corners are great and rust free. Windshield and rear window but no side glass. Spare tire, gas tank and tailgate all present. Front and rear bumpers are original. Tires hold air but are not road worthy. I have a set of 31×10.5R15 that are in good shape that will go with the truck. Great Patina!!

Will need some work.
“I have a nice, 90% rust free FC 170 for sale. Came from Reno Nevada to Florida this year. My plan was to do a full resto, but I found a J300 DRW I will do instead.
This truck was originally owned by an Aviation Company in the mid west and still has the metal inventory tag. It runs and drives well, with the stock 226-6, 3 spd T90,. the body is really nice for a FC. Frame excellent, rain gutters excellent, glass fair, floors are amazingly good, fenders good, doors not rusty, just need body work. Some amateur body work was started by the prev owner, but there is much to work with here. This truck is 100% stock, except for a plexiglass dash (no idea) and some bucket seats. I have a stock uncut dash that goes with the truck for you, but not the seats.
Take a look at the pics. FC’s are very popular and are difficult to find in decent condition. No low ball offers, but I may entertain an offer close to 6500. You wont lose money on FC’s – why they are so hot – I have no idea.”

Glenn spotted this one.
“This is a project good NJ Title. has been running 3 years ago. very rusty body. frame seems fine. Really complete extremely rare jeep.”
Based on the door’s lettering, it’s an ex fire department FC from Stewart Manor, which is a small town located on New York’s Long Island. In the Sometimes-it-is-better-to-be-lucky-than-good department, I found what appears to be an original photo of this jeep. They are both #3.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
It’s a project.
“This is a project –
The Good-
Solid cab (except for one hole – see picture) and box. Somebody tried to put a 283 chevy with an automatic in it – and failed! Included is a parts truck with a non-running F134.
Many parts are included, the transfer case that’s in the vehicle has an overdrive on it. The transfer case on the non-running engine has a pto on it. Also included is a new windshield plus new rubber for all the windows. Plus Service and owners manuals (reprints).
The Bad-
Frame has been repaired above the front axle on both sides (see pictures).
Somebody put 3.91 gears in it – I have no idea if they have been properly setup. The parts truck does have 5.38 but it is a narrow track.
The wheel well for the spare tire was cut out and welded in upside down (???)
Missing the heater- Found one, but the housing is rusted.
I have too many projects – it would be nice to see somebody restore the Jeep.”
