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 .

“Please read entire ad before responding.
1959 Willys Jeep “Forward Control”, FC-150, Deluxe Cab over engine, 4×4. All original and always stored indoors.
Runs, drives and stops well for 55 year old vehicle. New carb. kit, installed. New fuel tank and sending unit installed. All fluids changed. Good windshield. Door glass and rear glass are cracked but good for templates or drive as is. Flat glass can be replaced by most local glass shops. Cab corners in good shape. All interior parts are there, including dog house, rare glove box and has new seat covers installed.
These vehicles are rare to find in this condition, anywhere, in the Midwest.
It is NOT a rust bucket, NOT a parts truck.
All frame, tailgate and sheet metal in great shape. No rust or rot.
A classic vehicle not seen often these days.
I DON’T NEED to sell it and I, sure, DON’T need any help to do so.
I know what these are worth so save us both some time and don’t attempt a low ball offer, not going to happen. I’ll just keep it.
It’s a cool old truck! It needs to be driven and I don’t have the time.
Local pick up only, will not ship. Have your money in hand. I have title in hand and it is current on registration. Registered in Iowa as “Antique”, includes perfect, vintage Y.O.M. (1959) Iowa, “Iowa County” (48), plates to drive with legally.
Can e-mail pictures, etc.
Include “Cab Over” in subject or it will be deleted due to scammers.
Include e-mail and phone number in response.
Thanks for looking!”
In honor of this weekend’s FC Northwest Gettogether in Tacoma, Washington, I thought this article was appropriate. McCahill isn’t shy about some of his ‘beefs’ with the new FC.

“I have a super rare 1962 Willys FC-150 (Forward Control). Approximately 8800. It’s powered by a 4cyl F4 with a 3 speed T-90 transmission (rebuilt) all new brakes, carb was rebuilt, new shocks, 12volt conversion chassis was all painted. All lights and directionals work. Heat works. All glass is there and in great shape. The body is rough in some spots but it’s all there. I was driving the truck every weekend and let me tell you the stares and looks I would get were worth the truck alone.”

“1962 jeep fc170 engine not locked up but needs restored have title ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4600.
Needs a few items, but sure looks solid.
“Here’s a most affordable RARE antique vehicle, made by Willys for farm/ranch use.
This little truck’s teeny 134 c.i. engine runs very well, top speed about 45 mph in high range. Same running gear as a similar era CJ, but it’s mid-engined, giving it great traction in 4wd. The little flatbed has a massive set of springs supporting it, 15″ tires are good, paint/body are decent.
Included is a 6′ Western snowplow, power lift only, that is currently not installed but its frame can be easily re-bolted. With chains on all wheels, I’ve pushed fresh snow high as the windows. The cabover design lets you see right where the blade is, for tight spots.
Strong Points:
Has a high Cool Factor. Everybody likes the Jeep.
Starts right up, and roars right off — is a good runner; a great repair manual and minor spare parts included.
Great running gear — no leaks, brakes are very good (for it’s era).
Driver’s window is just right for hanging your elbow out.
Weak Points:
Windshield has major cracks on the right side and both side glass is plexiglass (been that way since before I bought it in the late 80’s – I did see an ad recently for a cab with intact glass for $100, so this is solvable).
Runs hot in the summer (needs a bigger radiator fan and vents in the bed’s headboard), needs a speedo cable made up.”
Has some rust.
“Asking $300 or best offer for this 1960 Forward Control Jeep 150 BareCab. Windows are not included, some rust damage, has been cleaned and power washed. Contact me for more information.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.

“65 Jeep FC170, Super good condition, 360 engine, automatic transmission, PTO in rear, never stored outside, auxiliary radiator in bed behind cab, additional lower leaf springs. Some TLC needed no major repair. Less than 11K miles on the vehicle. (asking price $8000)”
UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**

(02/26/2014) This former California FC appears to still have a California black plate on the front.
“YOU ARE LOOKING AT MY 1964 JEEP FC170. IF YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE AND STUMBLED ACROSS THIS AUCTION CHECK OUT THEFCCONNECTION.COM. I HAVE ONLY SEEN ONE OTHER OF THESE TRUCKS IN PERSON AND IT WAS A FC150, SHORTER BED AND SOME OTHER THINGS. ONCE I SAW IT I KNEW I HAD TO FIND ONE. THIS FC SPENT MOST OF ITS LIFE IN CALIFORNIA WHICH IS WHY IT IS SO PRESERVED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A CAMPER WHICH IS WHY IT IS IN SUCH GOOD SHAPE. MILEAGE SHOWS 25K AND I BELIEVE IT TO BE FAIRLY ACCURATE BUT CAN NOT GUARANTEE THAT. IT HAS BEEN SLIGHTLY CUSTOMIZED.
UPDATE: **SOLD** WAs $5000.
Looks good, but seller notes it could use a little more work to be really nice.
“1963 Willys Jeep FC 150 with parts. I have almost two sets of extra running gear. There is a hard to find windshield. The 1963 runs drives and stops but could use a restoration to be really nice.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
“1957 Jeep FC (Forward Control) project that I do not have time to finish and need the space. I have two chassis, one in the process of being put back together and the other untouched,. There is one cab and one bed, two engines (one rebuilt) Also included are all of the parts that came off both vehicles. 3 dana 40 axles, 1 dana 30.
I will not respond to request for my email and no more text scams!
Since I have not been able to sell as a project, I will part it out. let me know what you need and lets make a deal. Will also consider trades for something cool?”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $9995.
Good looking FC.
“Jeep FC-150 Cab over pickup. redone from frame up ! see pictures. Or call tell you all that was done.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(05/13/2014) Maybe this is a 1958 rather than a ’68?
“I have a Willys FC Jeep truck for sale. Truck is a rolling chassis with engine and no trans or transfer case. Front windshield is still intact. I also have a rolling frame with engine and no trans or transfer case for the same year FC Jeep. I do not have titles for either of them. They are to be sold as is complete for parts. (I will not part out) Make me an offer.”
http://tucson.craigslist.org/cto/4546496602.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1100.
(06/12/2014) No motor or tranny.
“1960 Jeep FC170 forward control. Have title, no engine or transmission. $1100.00 I will consider trades.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(01/27/2011) The passenger side doesn’t look all that rusty. It runs, though no word on whether it stops.
“FC150, runs well. typical rust. Plow& plow pump, NO PAPERS. $2,000.”
UPDATE: Was $4000. **Status Unknown**
It doesn’t run.
Just 1,519 Jeep FC’s 170’s were built in this configuration in 1958. This is a very original truck down to the Montgomery Ward’s brand tires that have been holding air continuously for the 20 years this truck has been in the family. The only non-original feature is that it has been converted to 12volt, but 6 volt components are included to convert it back. It has been stored in doors since 1994. We have had it running some years ago and the engine is not stuck. But… it is one of those projects that we just haven’t found the time for and it deserves to be passed on to someone that will fix her up and show off this rare, collectible truck. It does have some rust, but it is vey repairable and the windshield IS NOT cracked.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
(12/08/2012) I don’t have a manual in front of me, but I’m pretty sure the radiator mounts in a slightly different spot.
“Selling a Jeep Willys for a friend, please call the listed phone number and ask for Doug, he has all of the specific information on this vehicle if you are interested.
The Jeep does run, plow works nicely and it has a crane jack on the back. The Jeep can be sold with or without the plow and crane.”
