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 $1850.
This looks to be an old FC Fire Jeep. There doesn’t appear to be any fire equipment with it.
“1964 Willys/Kaiser Jeep FC 170 DRW 1 ton truck this is a one in a million find at a fair price. I have too many projects and no time or money to complete them. My loss is your gain! This is a very rare and difficult vehicle to find with a clear title. It is not running but is ready to restore. MUST SELL $1850.00 O/BO”
UPDATE: The seller will start taking bids with the minimum bid being $7500.
“1957 Jeep FC 150. Foreward cab, 4 wheel drive pick up with low and high speed T90 transmission. 12 forward gears. Engine is 4 cylinder flathead and has not been started and is not stuck.
Bucket seats and original carpet. needs to be re-upholstered. Cab has small rust spots on rain gutter and windshields but no sign of rusted thru. A magnet did not reveal any bondo patches in body.
A Ramsey 10,000 lb PTO winch is mounted on the front with tow bar.
Speedometer reads 358 miles, apparently is 100,358. Seller has good title.
Tires hold air but are 20 years old. Paint is 20 years old but buffs up good except on rust spots. An installation of an after market over drive will allow legal highway speeds.”

You can read much more about this at sellajeep.com.
“This is a rare cab-over style Forward Control Jeep with a 2.3 liter F-head 4-cylinder engine, 3-speed T-90 manual transmission, and two-speed T-18 transfer case. I have a clear Texas title in my name. These unusual trucks draw a lot of attention.
The engine and transfer case have seen no use since being rebuilt and they are out of the vehicle, along with the gearbox. Radiator is rebuilt. This truck was sold new in the Phoenix, AZ area and remained there with the original owner’s family until I brought it to central Texas about five years ago, so body corrosion is minimal. Brakes are rebuilt with no miles on them. All window glass is good. Comes with new hoses, wiring harness, clutch, pressure plate, brakes, a spare set of doors, rear window glass, bare cylinder head, spare disassembled 3-speed gear box, vacuum brake servo, plus various extra pieces of trim, and small mechanical items….”
Brian spotted this. I figured I’d better post it right away.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
I suspect that if you invest $37,500 worth of work and parts this might just be worth $38,500 by the time it is done.
“I have a 1960 FC 150 Jeep for sale. It is a jeep pickup that was produced in the late 50’s and 60’s. FC stands for Forward Control due to the cab being placed over the front wheels. It had a small pickup bed on the back originally. There are FC clubs and forums for these fun rare trucks and a lot of aftermarket parts are available. I also purchased an old military dump bed that is shaped a lot like the original bed and it will be included with the truck along with a 12 volt hydraulic pump. I haven’t done anything with this truck since I purchased it other than storing it and getting a title, so I don’t know the condition of the drivetrain. I didn’t get a front or rear driveshaft with it so I never tried to make it run. The frame is a regular cj type frame other than the weight bolted into the rear for stability so cj driveshafts would work. 4 wheel drive with lockout hubs and a 134 4 cylinder engine.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
It’s been chopped, but runs and drives. Might make a good Tour FC replica . . .
“It runs and drives, missing the bed, doors, and I chopped off the rusted out cab cover. I have gone through the brakes and put a new clutch in it but the clutch it not releasing properly. Cool old truck but I have too much sitting around so it needs to go”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3495
Paint a little rough, but the looks pretty good. Might even include the wheel blocks.

There’s a little rust, but otherwise looks solid. Probably won’t take much to get it running I bet.

(04/13/2012) “Hello, I have a 1958 Jeep FC 150, its 4 wd, and was running about 4 years ago, its in need of a total restoration.
These jeeps are highly collectible, I want to keep it, but can’t seem to get it shipped out to me in Boston.”
UPDATE: Still Available
Complete Ramsey winch and front bumper for Willys Jeep fc170. Seldom do you see the complete set like this, would take quite a bit of time to track all the parts down. It is a heavy beast so shipping is something to consider. Wife likes to travel so might make some arrangements to deliver. Have more pictures if you want them.
The bumper has brackets for a front hitch that Bubba put on but you can easily grind them off. There is a dent in the bumper, how they could have done it I don’t know, but I think Bubba had something to do with that also. Anyway, I think it adds character and a story (no charge). Bumper was sand blasted and then painted with POR 15.
Prior owner said he cleaned and overhauled the winch and it looks like he did.
The PTO is not in the pictures but will go with it. Right now it is on MY FC because I haven’t found the cover plate to replace the PTO. I know I have one but it is in a very safe and secure place right now.
As far as I know it is complete but what you see is what you get.
Have some other fc parts for sale: gas tank, seats, rolling frame with engine, radiator, axles.
check out my other ad for fc170, can negotiate on a package deal.

The cab of this looks nice.
“Jeep FC150, 1962, very good condition. Runs

Motor needs work, so I’m guessing it doesn’t run.
“A rare find indeed. All original Jeep Foward Control. Motor needs work, but all parts are there. Very hard to find these things anymore. If you have questions, please call Steve at (218)7796220”

There appears to be value here.
“Rare Jeep Forward Control (FC-150) pickup. This was someones project in the late 70’s that never got finished. Has the original frame, willys wagon axles, Ford inline 6 (believe it to be 170). The interior is gutted and there is no steering column or gauges. Bed would have to be modified around the fenders to fit because of the wider willys axles.
Previous owner had the truck since 1973. Clear title. 541-701-1781”

Engine is out. There is a minor title issue.
“Up for sale is a 1960 Forward Control FC-150 truck. This is an amazing original condition truck that has been kept under cover for the last 10-12 years I’ve owned this truck. This truck has the original two-toned paint still on it! There is NO rust in the usual places for these trucks. No cancer (rust through) that I can see, just minor surface rust. This is the first year of the wider axels for better stability. I was converting this truck to a Buick V6. I have most the parts, including the engine, bellhousing, flywheel, clutch & exhaust. The engine is currently NOT installed in the truck. Installed in the truck is the original transmission, with WARN OVERDRIVE. It is a 4×4. The drivelines are installed as well. It does have the engine cover that goes inside the cab! Back fenders are slightly modified, but could be returend to original shape. Modified to fit a 5 gallon gas can on either side. This was a good idea as it adds weight over the rear axels. Breaks do no work in the thuck however, the emergency break does. Front windshild is in good shape, which is the important one! Back & side windows need glass replaced. The side windows do roll up & down. Tires hold air but are old. I have the title to this truck. However, the husband signed over and the wife did not as she had passed away. Oregon DMV said that to correct this You need to get a death certificate which can be obtained from the state or county. OR if you turn in the title to DMV and it shows the person as deceased, there is no issue.
