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 $1300.
Given the duallies, there is plenty of value here.

UPDATE: Some additional photos of the event, including the t-shirts, have been added.
Author Jim Allen dropped by the event as did Craig Brockhaus with his new FC Van named Marilyn (it came with the name). Roger Martin is standing to the left.
This past weekend was the 2016 SW Ohio Jeep FC Gathering at Roger Martin’s place. Unfortunately, the threat of rain keep some folks away. Given the rain that fell in Maryland over the weekend, there was good reason for concern. However, the rain pretty much skipped over Roger’s place. Roger has some t-shirts left over that are for sale. You can see them at the end of this post. Call Roger at 937-477-5270 for more info.
One of the stars of the show was Craig Brockhaus’s newly acquired FC from Sweden named “Marilyn”. It has only been in the US for 16 days, so very few folks have had a chance to inspect it. “Marilyn” started right up and purred like a kitten. It was part of a photo shoot/video on the property.
Jim Allen, writer/author, enjoyed his inspection of the van. He was asking questions and taking pictures.

Bill Robinette (and son, Ed) brought his Jeepster. Bill is the original owner. He bought it new in 1950. The story goes, ” Ed had a 1948 CJ 2a, which was their only transportation. One day it was raining and his wife said her feet were getting wet so they went to the Jeep dealer, Marshall Brothers, in Alpha, Ohio to get an new rubber seal. Instead, they got a new rubber seal with everything that goes around it. Ed drove it to school and wanted to put a big engine in it, but his dad wouldn’t let him. It is still original.”
Greg Houk brought an FC170 with a Auburn trencher and blade on the front, along with an FC-150 with a Shriner’s jeep on the back.

Richard Kimball brought his FC Firetruck on Friday. Roger’s 9 FC’s were scattered about. He has 8 FC170’s (5 are DRW), and 1 FC150.
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was on eBay.
That’s a pretty FC.
“Finished in the optional President Red and Plantation White combination this all steel body pickup shows very well. The side mounted spare tire matches the other four wheels and tires. The front fender extensions and rear fenders are solid and look great. All the trim is present, complete, and displays normal wear for a vehicle of this age. The black front bumper is fits well with a finish as expected considering the age. The custom rear step bumper is sturdy and is functional. The metal bed and wheel wells is completely covered with a black protective paint.
Inside, the grey and black vinyl seat that looks period and is very good condition. The black door panels and grey dashboard are a subtle continuation of the two-tone theme of the interior. The optional heater and original gauges are correctly placed have a nice appearance and function as designed. The original equipped two spoke custom steering wheel is in good condition and functions as designed.
This 1958 FC-150 is equipped with the original 134cid Hurricane F4-134 inline 4-cylinder engine fed by a Carter one barrel carburetor. Power is transferred to the wheels by a Borg-Warner T-98 three-speed manual transmission and a Model 18 transfer case. Driver assist features include 4-wheel drum brakes. The suspension includes leaf springs with front and rear solid axles. The 15-inch original white steel wheels with Goodyear Wrangler tires complete the look.
The FC-150 advertising motto in the day was “Go Anywhere!” and all your need to do is bring this ’58 to the next “Jamboree” and turn heads! GET OUT AND DRIVE!
Current mileage on the odometer shows 11,595 miles, sold as is with a mileage exempt title.

“I have two Willys FC 150 trucks for sale. 1958 and 1963. Both are 90% complete and were brought here from Montana. Dry stored in garage since arrival from MT. Both have clean titles. 63 has original F head, not running at this time. 63 also has a solid body and is a candidate for easy restoration.
The 58 does not have an engine. It does not have trans or TC, just some misc parts like radiator, oil bath AC, generator, etc . It was a former Texaco service truck, and had a bed mount tow pkg I think based upon the bolt pattern drilled into in bed. It has the usual rust thru on some lower cab corners, but overall good metal on rain gutters, doors, gill, bed, tailgate, etc. You wont find anything like this in Florida, which is why I brought them in from MT. I now have moved on to another project (Super Wagoneer).
These are a deal at $5000 pkg price. No low ballers, jack-legs, dreamers or Hilary Clinton supporters. If your a Jeep guy, you know about these already. Will not sell separately.”
Doesn’t run and no title.
“We bought this a while back and are not going to get to any time soon, so hope that someone else might be able to make a good project out of it. It is a 58 Jeep FC150 shortbed. Has the 4-cyl and manual transmission. Do not know the condition, hasn’t run in a very long time and we haven’t even tried. It has a lot of rust but I think it is savable. The frame seems to be ok and the thing is complete other than the seats, doghouse, and tailgate.
No title, came from out of state and they didn’t have a title. Bill of sale only.
$2000 obo takes this rare little beast.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
(05/18/2016) Craig spotted this one. Not sure how much value is here.
“1959 Willys Jeep FC-150, Clear title in hand. Tree fell on left side rear of cab and dented corner pretty good. Will need alot of fabrication, and rust repairs. Probably hasnt been run in 30 years, I dont know if motor is free, real rusty, but it is a rare vehicle. Will need to be trailered. Make this your next 4×4 project. does roll free on air up tires.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000
(07/07/2015) This looks to be a good price. It’s an Ansul Model Dry Chemical Fire Truck serial #320. The FC serial number is 61568 19861.
“1961 Jeep Forward Control (FC-170) 4WD. 6192 miles on speedometer. It used to be a chemical fire truck in Cold Bay, Alaska. It now has a flat bed on the back. Much work has been done on this truck to make it a reliable vehicle for running errands. It would not keep up with traffic out on the highway (top speed might be 50 without an overdrive). It has a 226 CI Continental engine, 3 speed manual transmission, two speed transfer case, 5.38 differentials, locking hubs. This would make a great rig for hunting. It definitely gets a lot of attention wherever it goes. There is some minor rust-through at the bottom of the driver’s door. Both doors shut easily; windows crank up and down easily; all glass is good. I am asking for $7,000. I will not accept lower offers or trades.”
This rare brochure seems to be a reasonable price.

UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
Seller says this is unrestored. Looks like a reasonable buy-it-now price to me.
” Has up for auction a really neat and particularly rare 1964 Willy’s Jeep F150 pick up!
This is an non restored driver quality vehicle that’s rust free and a blast to drive. The all steel body is straight and very presentable. The older paint finish is decent and only showing a few cosmetic nicks and minor blemishes. The glass, tires and wheels are in good condition. The underside is also very solid. The frame and all around structure are sound. The rear wooden bed could be redone if desired. Beginning to show considerable wear especially behind the cab. The rear bumper is constructed on wood. Obviously replaced some years ago.
Needs some work to make the 4WD work.
“I have a 1960 jeep fc-170. It runs on a ford 400 with a c6 automatic and transfer case. it will need the front drive line made and installed to get it working. both axles have been replaced and the rear is a 9″ ford and the front I think is a Dana 44. it sits in 44” ground hawg tires that have good tread left. the bed needs a floor on it but makes the look of the truck. it is a tilt cab that tilts on an electric motor. truck is being sold with a clean clear title.

“1963 Jeep Willys FC150 with original 23,626 miles on it. The Willys runs well and is in great condition. Rare find on the East Coast and with such low mileage.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
“I am selling two Jeep forward controls, one is a 1960, it is in very rough condition, but it is all there. It is blue, has a 3 speed manual trans, 4 cylinder engine, I have ran it on starting fluid, and it even has a sunroof (not factory). I bought it last year as a project, but I would rather sell it and put the money towards another project that I have.
I also have a second FC 150 I bought for parts. It is a 1957, green, only has a cab, no bed, the frame was cut right behind the rear axle, so it is no good. But almost everything in front of the rear axle is there. Both windshields are broken, and a couple of the door windows are also broken, but I have good glass for the back three windows. Both are 12 volt, and neither of them have titles, green cab has a vin plate, but blue one doesn’t. Let me know if you have any questions. Not splitting them up”
