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 .
This is a unique item.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(10/10/2010) This looks this has been put to use.
“1962 willys jeep fc170. The jeep just came from Arizona. I was going to restore it but a different opportunity came along.
It has not run in about three years. It has a pto winch and a mico brake lock system, not sure how it works but looks like its factory
installed. There is some rust through the driver’s side floor but is small and should be an easy fix. The rest of the cab is very solid.
The bed is in fairly good shape. There is some rust through the floor in the front, not big at all, about 12″x12″. The rest of the bed looks good, despite a a few small dents, but is very solid. All the id plates are still there. The brakes do not work. The clutch appears to work.
It needs a driver’s side window and windshield is cracked. The jeep needs to be restored and gone through to make it road worthy.
It would be a fun project for the right person; these jeeps are getting hard to find without being rotted beyond repair.
The jeep has been on the west coast. This is the first time it has been on the east coast. It is stored in a 20′ shipping container on my property so its out of the weather.”
This ad appeared in volume 2 No. 13 issue of Montana Sports Outdoors of Missoula, MT. The magazine includes a full page ad for an unusual ‘Jeep’ being endorsed by UNITED CATTLE COMPANY OF BIG SANDY. I can’t imagine this ad ran in too many magazines. The text of the ad notes that the cattle company was purchasing its 18th jeep.
Craig just posted a good article about a FC-150 Fire Truck an Austrian owner shared with him.

Craig has just posted the Antique Automobile Club of America’s article about the Lafian FC Power Hoe. It’s an interesting article with some good photos.

This brochure demonstrates the correct ways to plow.

(09/19/2012) Looks like the damage is to the passenger door and the cab.

“Selling a Jeep Willys FC-170 w/ a dump bed and w/ wide snow plow.
This jeep has a heavy duty dump bed and a heavy snow duty snow plow. The motor ran when we parked it a few years ago. We drove it to were it sits now. The engine did need a tuneup and potentially more. The dump bed was working off the motor driven hydraulics when we parked it as well as can be seen in the pictures.
Email us if you are interested or have questions about it.
There is also 2 other FC-170’s with different configurations (one is a flat bed, $500, and one is a utility bed, $800) that are for sale. $2,000.00 for all 3.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
(10/23/2012) It runs and drives, but has rust. It’s unusual to see a towbar on the front of a FC!

Sounds like a lot of parts.
“I have 2 Jeep projects for sale. One is a 1958 170 6cyl 4 wheel drive. The pickup is in a garage and is apart. The picture posted is how I found it but does not represent what is is now.
The other is a 1960 150 4cyl, found in Oregon and is pretty much as I found it, I have tried to start the engine but it will not turn over. It is also in the same garage which makes hard to take pictures. When you come to see one you get to see them both. I also have a rebuildable Warn overdrive that I will include if you buy them both. Both have clean paperwork. The cab forward or “forward control” was made from 1957 thru 1963.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
This seems to be missing some parts.
“Runs and drives. No title. Good for parts or project. Kind of cool not to many around.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2300.
(10/18/2012) I can’t tell if this runs or not.
“Jeep willys 1963 4×4 pick up with factory dump truck bed and with snow plow. Needs a little tlc. Flat head 6cyl. motor it is all original. Great project truck and is extremely rare”
No, these aren’t Corgi toys. These are the real deal. Check out the entire image at theFCConnection.com
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $450.
There’s value here.
“A 170. The cab is in fairly good condition rust wise except for around the windshield where there is rust on the sides, top and starting across the bottom from the posts. The floor and lower cab seem to be fairly solid. The bed is not stock and just sitting on the frame and goes with the truck if desired. The engine is loose, but had not run in my time with the truck about 5 years. There is no transmission or drive shafts. There is a transfer case, however. This truck is good for parts or the start of a project.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $550. Desert Dogs PCV on a FC? That’s a rare sight.
“A later model 150. It has the wider track and the cast iron weight in the rear of the frame. The cab has the usual rust spots, the floor, lower rear corners and above the windshield. The bed is in reasonable condition, but no tail gate. The engine is loose and ran a few years ago. I never drove the truck so I do not know the condition of the transmission (three speed) and transfer case. The rear end is a limited slip. Included is a spare front axle from a CJ Jeep. It is a project, but it is all there.”
Craig spotted this at the Life Magazine Archives. You can go here to see more archives:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
The camper appears in good shape.
‘All the glass is good, not to much rust. As far as I can tell everything is here.”
This looks solid.
