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 $500.
(08/16/2012) This looks good.
“Engine runs good. Starts up right away. ( I was told the engine was rebuilt ) It moves under it’s own power, however, the brakes recently went out ( left rear cylinder bad )
It received a ‘quicky’ paint job by a previous owner. ( Rust has been repaired ) The interior has been re-done. It has a passenger ‘bench’ seat. ( rare option ? ) I’m told the truck originally came from Missouri.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $1750

there appears to be some value in parts.
“Last chance on this old Jeep FC150 before it heads to the scrap yard, this is a BIG project that I have been holding onto for sometime now but I’m parting ways with the old jeep habit and cleaning up shop. NO TITLE, does not run but motor is not locked up, tires hold air and it does roll fairly easily to load onto a trailer. Major rust issues between the body and the roof line, no rear window. This has a hydraulic dump bed on it but have never tested the pump but the bed does move up and down. These are very hard to find and this would be a nice project but again…it will require a ton of work. If interested, best bet is to come and look at it in person as I will not be sending any additional pictures. It’s rough and if you think you may want it just send me an email with your contact info and I’ll get back to you so you can come and look it over. If it’s not sold by next week, unfortunately it will be heading to the scrap yard but I thought someone may want to give it a home before it heads to it’s grave never to be seen again.”

No, these aren’t real. They are mockups using a photoshop posted by David Mosley on Flickr. Still, they look intriguing.

“Forward control V-6. Clear title, tags expired in 1996.”

(11/02/2011) This does not run.
“1958 Jeep pick-up, comes with plow, 4 cylinder, manual trans. I have title and am selling it for a friend.

UPDATE: ***sold*** was listed at $300. It sold quickly.
This ran just fine when the seller parked in eight years ago. It looks like a great price a parts FC. Unclear why the name “Patricia Cardran” is included in the picture.
“they made to models of these the FC-150 and FC-170 not real sure witch one it is. It is 4×4 and it will go anywhere when locked in. it has manual trans, 6cly flathead, we used it for hauling fire wood and it’ll hold around 2 cords of firewood. it has a large wooden bed on it that the boards are gonna need replaced. It will need work it would be a great restore project cause the parts are pretty cheap, last time I looked at a rebuild kit for the motor it was around 150.00. it ran just fine when I parked it about 8 years ago. I do have the title for it also if you have any question call or text me at 240-522-two87one NO EMAILS”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
To me this looks pretty restorable. I do wish Forster-Stewart Lumber had developed a nicer logo though. It does not have a title.

(05/10/2012) “1957 Willys Jeep , 4 wheel drive Front Forward Control
UPDATE 2: We are certain this was a scam. Contrary to what the ‘seller’ reports, no LoJack activation has never occurred on a Willys in AZ.
UPDATE: Thanks to Craig for managing to get a response. The seller claims these are sold. And, thanks especially to Jesse for his detailed analysis on this. In between tearing down my parent’s rotten deck and getting ready to build a new one I’ve been following the comments on this ad/scam/?? with interest.
“I have two modernized like new except for paint m677 FC Kaiser Jeeps with 4 door crew cabs, full skid plates, new motors, new drive train, or professionally rebuilt. Modern features like PS, PB, AC, locker Eaton Rear end. One is Gasoline powered Chevrolet LT-1 350 the other is a 6 cyl heavy duty diesel. To much to mention. $65,000 takes both and plenty of original parts. I had the custom paint jobs blasted off when the company who contracted their build at a cost of over $100,000 defaulted and we repo’ed these.. Both have new interior, AC, 24 12 and 120 volt power. Both have heavy duty winches, and one comes with a PTO winch and hydrostatic plow drive als all hoses drive lines etc. They run and drive great. Suspension is all new and engineered for the load of the new running gear. Running gear was regeared to maximize the HP torque and RPMs of the power plant(s). Paint is all these lack. They are in a climate controlled storage. Look up this model on Google. These are primer gray and all they need is a final paint job. These are rare, and unheard of in this condition. Email for a viewing time and location, as well as questions and a an extensive list of original spare parts, engines, transfer cases, glass, etc. One mor could be made original from spare frame body parts engine X fer case front and rear end etc. Zero rust. Interiors are new Taurus Burgundy colored vinyl seats. New tires, new heavy duty brakes. These cost almost $130K to build. They were meant to service cell towers in remote locations. The buyer skipped town. They had LOJACK and I went and got them back. Too many upgrades and options to list. The gasoline model is more of a toy as the engine is high compression high horsepower. They have dual 24 and 12 volt electrical, all new rubber body gaskets, no leaks. They are in line in a storage unit, and photos will be difficult. After I take them out to allow a test dive photos will be available. These were driven every 4-6 weeks to keep seals from leaking and fluids changed every 3 months regardless of use. We are using Mobile One with extra filters engine oil coolers, A two regeared 2 speed overdrive was added between the 4 speed tranny and transfer case for 16 forward gears 2 reverse. All computer modeled to avoid clearance issues, binding ill fitting parts etc. Enough parts are on hand to make these original again too. THe Cat Diesel is the true work truck. I got 27 MPG with it HWY. $35K each $65K takes everything. Parts are available with further negotiation on one truck. Both trucks you get extra frames, cabs, mounts, etc. These are very very nice inside. Dunbar did all new springs and an airbag ride was installed. Email with a number for serious buyers ONLY> This will be listed in other locations I am willing to deliver to.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“Well I’m sure no expert on Jeeps, but I aquired this 1960 FC-150 from a 82 year old farmer. This is what I call a true “Barn find” It has been stashed away in an old barn for over 20 years. It has all the typical rust in all the typical spots.
This was a running and driving jeep when he last parked it into storage. He had planned to put his portable welder in the back, but never got that far. He lost the title so I can only give you a bill of sale.
With the exception of a sunroof, and a missing radio, I would say that this FC-150 is almost 100% complete and original.
This would make a nifty restoration project, or perhaps A good a parts vehicle. I have no doubts that someone more mechanical than myself could have it running again in fairly short order?
This jeep is old and ugly but it has just around 63,000 original miles on it. The engine/transmission,differentials, etc. are all original. I have turned the engine over by hand and it’s free.
This jeep is over 52 years old, and I I am selling it as is.
I would much rather you plan for the worst, and hope for the best than be dissapointed in any way. And remember… no title.”
No title nor VIN tag.
“True Barn Find I believe is from the 60’s Complete vehicle
There was metal repair near the Passengers wheel well, at the time the Vin tag must have been removed and never put back on. I do not have it, I do not have a Title and I do not have a prior registration and no way to get one. So Bid accordingly.
The Jeep is complete, its a 4 cylinder F-head, cleaned out the gas tank and Carb and put in fresh gas. Cranked it a few times and it fired right up. It runs smooth, no noises and no smoke issues.
It yard drives, 4 wheel high and low work. Brakes will need work, has a 4 way plow set up but no blade. Hydralic pump on the motor.
Custom made welders body with factory counter weight over rear end.”

Either lots of parts or two projects.
“Two FC-170 Jeep Truck projects
Gray truck:
1964 – one of the last FC-170 produced – 1 ton – 4 wheel drive – 3 speed transmission – Dana 20 transfer case
Rebuilt original engine and axles, Frame has been sand blasted and painted.
Cab was sandblasted and primed years ago but will need to be done again. New floor pans and rear window panel included. Windshield, rear window and quarter glass all provided. Doors are included but door glass is missing.
Green truck:
1962 – 1 ton – 4 wheel drive – 3 speed transmission – Dana 18 transfer case
Engine is stuck, axles have been rebuilt
Cab has had some “quick” body work and paint by a previous owner. Looks good from a distance but could use some more work. All glass is in good condition. Front and rear lower cab corners are in excellent condition. Frame has been patched but seems to be strong. Has nice seats and door panels.
Together there are more than enough parts to make one good truck with lots of spare parts.
$2,500 obo\
I ran across this unusually modified FC named Work’N Woody. According to this website, it’s a modified FC that has been a fixture at race tracks since 1978. It even has its own website. You can see a gallery of pictures here. Pretty cool! It must be a great place to watch a race.
Here are a couple pictures from the website:
UPDATE: **SOLD** No price was listed.
This looks beautiful. I searched for other Willys on oldcaronline.com, but the others appear very overpriced to me.
Here are several original FC-170 brochures at a good price.
“ORIGINAL SHOWROOM FOLDOUT provides PICTURES, FEATURES, SPECS and MORE on this unusual 4-Wheel Drive JEEP. In EXCELLENT CONDITION.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This brochure was designed as mailer to promote the TV Show Maverick with James Garner as a joint advertising venture. This is 8.5 x 5.5 folded , 8.5 x 11 unfolded.
Here’s a cool photo of a FC-150 Tow Truck at work on a race track, though the FC doesn’t take up much of the image. I’ve made the FC portion a little bigger in the photo below.
