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 .

Needs some work, but looks pretty solid.
“This is a 1965 Jeep FC 170. It is complete and in need of a total restoration. It has original mileage of 26,000. It has always been a farm/ranch vehicle and used to haul grapes to the packing house. As you can see it has the original seats and all gauges. I started working on it and found that i’m not going to have the time to get it up and going. So i’m offering it for sale. It has some rust in the back bed and the drivers floor but most everything else looks good. I tock quite a few pictures, but if you would like another view please let me know. I rebuilt the carburetor and found it very clean.
I was told it has been sitting for approximately 25/30 years. They broke the shifting lever on the outside of the transmission case and just parked it. A spare case and part will come with vehicle. They had two so this one just sat until know. It rolled onto the trailer fine, but the brakes will need to be gone through. Again, this is a complete original farm vehicle with the original mileage. It will need a good home. Comes with original shop manual. I have only a bill os sale and past registration form, but getting a title and keeping the black plates should not be an issue. There wasn’t a place to put bill of sale in title location so I put clear as there are no liens or any type.”
UPDATE: Back up for sale.
“1957 Jeep FC 170, frame and bed were shortened years ago, I’ve got it running, driving and stopping however it’s not really road worthy yet, tires are dry rotted and the carb could really use a rebuild, clean title”

(04/19/2017) Runs, is a bit rough.
“This truck is originally from Nebraska. It has a 3-speed transmission with the hurricane 6 cylinder that smokes pretty bad when it warms up. It runs good and seems to stay cool.I have run it for 20 plus mins at a time. It has a electric fuel pump. It was a farm truck most of it’s life. It has plenty of dents and dings. The paint job is very amateur. It looks like it was applied with a roller and paintbrush and a Wagner power sprayer. It has Bondo that is unfinished. More in some places then needed and less in other places were needed. Not to bad from ten feet. The Bed Floor was replaced with a sheet of metal. The tires are dry rotted. It also has a hard ball size Bondo spots in each cab corner. And had one patch put in the driver’s floor.
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $4500.
Needs an engine.
“Fc truck needs engine it does not have one in it”
Larry spotted this FC-170. He writes, “We are vacationing in Sedona. There are newer jeeps and jeep tours all over the place so we took one. As we were coming over the hill, there she was, an Fc170 tow truck. It was totally redone and beautiful. The kid in the shop had no idea what it was (some kinda jeep thing). It wasn’t for sale but it was great to see”.
Those familiar with this wrecker recognize it as Wayne Trent’s former FC. You can see some video of it here.
And here’s my photo of it from one of the FC-Roundups in Phoenix.
Glenn forwarded this one.

Missing the outside rims.
“1959?? Jeep fc 170 dual rear wheel. What you see is what you get. Cab looks rough but really isn’t to bad. Front window is shattered, doesn’t have doors, back glass or bed. Has a chevy 350 in it, but it is locked up. Bell housing and transfer case look to be in ok shape, the top cover on the transmission is rusting through. Also missing two dually rims. This would be a big project to bring it back to life, but it is a unique vehicle. Can help load on a trailer. Vehicle will come with a bill of sale. I do not have a title for it.”

“1958 Jeep FC-170 truck [long wheel base / ¾ ton]. This truck came in from Iowa. Needs a total restoration !!! Very nice cab — unmolested dash. Doors are equally nice / solid. Only rust on the cab is the left cab corner {small area}; above the windshield /passenger inside . Missing one engine cover. Truck has a busted windshield {I have a web site where you can get a windshield for $350 + shipping}. All other glass is unbroken, but should be replaced {all flat glass}. This truck is complete — minus the missing part that is mentioned! It has a “Hurricane” 6 cylinder [not running , but turns over] gas engine with a 4 speed transmission, 4 wheel drive / high & low range — with lock out hubs. Bed sides have one spot of rust through on the rear driver side. Bed floor will need some attention. Tail gate is included — it’s not bad ! This is one of the nicer / solid un-restored Jeep FC trucks I have run into over the years. Comes with an open Iowa title.”
