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 .
Here is a crazy Snow Cone FJ. I spotted these pictures the other day while looking for the swiss army CJ-5. Steve must have spotted this crazy thing too, because he found the video below.

This doesn’t run, but there looks like plenty of parts.
“Jeep FC-170 (forward control) 4WD truck with flatbed. engine is a inline 6 cylinder, manual transmission. Needs work to get this unit running and driving. No title, will have to apply for a lost or abandon vehicle title. I am not sure what year it is. These were made between 1959 thru about 1963. This is a non running project unit so don’t call and ask me stupid questions like if it can be driven home. the answer is NO…bring a trailer to pick it up.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This includes a rear PTO.

It needs work, but it’s a cool old plow truck.

This appears in good shape.
“This Jeep has a custom flatbed and Chevy 250 cu. in. motor. The frame has been professionally boxed in and powder coated. Also have 5 brand new wheels and tires.”
Honestly, I’m not sure if this is a real card or not. But, the picture was cool, so I thought I’d post it.
No pics provided.

(12/25/2012) This runs.
“This is a 85 plus percent complete Jeep FC170 ready to be restored. It has bee setting for about 6 years. The engine runs great, when I took these picture a couple months ago the engine fired right up after putting a little gas in carburetor and cleaning the points. The engine is the straight six Continental. The body has some sheet metal patches on it, the front bumper has been replaced with a very solid U channel beam, it does not have a tail gate. It does have a clear title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
This will need some work, but the driver’s side cab looks pretty good.
“well, its a 57 jeep forward control 150, its the first year they made em, iv had this for a couple of years now, was going to be a project but i never got around to it, and now im moving to the city where i cannot have it. the guy i got from had just rebuilt the t-90 transmission and never put it back in and neither did i. its been converted over from the inline four it came with to a small block chevy v8, its a 265 cubic inch small block thats suposedly out of a 55 bel air. but iv never looked up the numbers to verify. the transmission has the adapter to fit the chevy bellhousing so it should bolt right up, i just never got around to it. iv not had to motor running but the guy i got it from said it ran when he started rebuilding the transmission and i know its not seized up. the tires that are on it are ruined from weather cracking, they look good in the pic but trust me theyre not. that pretty much sums it up. im asking $1000 obo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Craig forwarded this ad. I think the seller meant that he “un-seized” the engine.
“I have a RARE 1957 Jeep FC 150 4X4. It is a really cool old rig. It has a lot of surface rust and it goes through on the drivers side floor and the passenger side back corner of the cab. Otherwise solid. I have un-ceased the motor, torn it down and repainted it (not to be pretty but to keep from rusting) I have everything needed to put it back together and get it running EXCEPT : New Clutch, Muffler, and exhaust. The rest is there! I also have a gasket set, new motor mounts and the original shop manual! I have web sites to get all the parts you need to restore. I am selling because it has sat for over a year without me having time to work on it. Cool rig I would love to see it on the road. They go for about $5-7k when they are all done. HAS TITLE!”
No pictures. Unclear if this is a dually or not.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,997
(03/13/2011) This is a beautiful FC, however there are at least 3 issues I have with this: 1) See image #3, note the chevrolet like design … sigh … 2) See image #4, note the ‘150’ logo rather than ‘170’ … really? …. 3) the bumper isn’t quite stock, but doesn’t look all that bad.
