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 .

Steve forwarded some images from a Kool Nights event in Redding.
He writes, “Today wraps up the final day of the week long event, Kool April Nites in Redding, Ca. Over 1800 vehicles came from hundreds of miles around to attend the 23rd annual event. Here are some photos of the “Jeeps of Kool April Nites”. I didn’t get away from my working my car club’s booth, so I didn’t get very good pictures this year. I also needed a better camera to take evening photos of the Friday Night Cruise.

Mark published this FC ad today.
“I have a 1958 Jeep FC-150 for sale. It has the original motor, transmission, and transfer case in it. The motor is not locked up, but will not crank. Has most of the interior parts except the seats. I have two sets of doors for it. The front windshield is in good shape. That is the only glass I have for this truck. I have a Dana 30 and a Dana 44 that is currently being installed in the truck. When I purchased this truck it had a front axle from a Mail Jeep. So I was going to put it back to 4wd. There are two OEM wheels and 4 aftermarket wheels. The odometer says about 10,000 miles. There are a lot of original parts still on this truck. The lower cab corners are rusted. Some of the floor board joints and bends are rusted, but still very sturdy.
I have the title in hand. This truck comes with a lot of extra parts. Price: $2,000 or Best offer

“1960 Willy Jeep FC170
This is a 4 wheel drive jeep truck with standard transmission..I don’t believe there are any accessories.
If anyone has information on the Jeep please write as I’m in the dark about this truck.
Condition of truck is unknown. The truck drove before being put in storage. The truck was parked 10-15 (?) years ago in a dry building with a concrete floor. He had 2 willys Jeeps, He used the 1st. Jeep on the farm. Sold the 1st. Jeep that was listed on E-Bay. The remaing Jeep might had been the better of the two.

“This has the original Hurricane 226 engine, manual transmission and transfer case. Last year I did a complete rebuild of the carb, replaced plugs, wires, cap and rotor. It fired right up. Bleed the brakes and it was driving. That was now over a year ago. I have been keeping this as a long term project but its time to go. No paper but has been unregistered for over a decade. Rust in the typical areas. Trade?? ”

I wanted to extend our thanks to everyone who made our visit at this year’s Roundup memorable and fun. And a special thanks to Jesse for inviting me to attend, despite the lack of my own FC. Also, I really appreciated everyone who told me how much they enjoyed reading this website. Your feedback makes my efforts worthwhile!
On Saturday I was able to win a raffle price, 2 headlight gaskets (courtesy of Roy). After winning them, I announced my grand plan to build an FC around the gaskets. Yes, we’ll build from the front of the FC (fc-150? fc-170? something else) to its rear. I expect this is going to be a slooowwww project.
I even found the perfect FC project in Tucson as we drove out of town on Sunday morning; well, drove is a stretch. More like, plodded along due to an overturned semi in Black Canyon whose delivery of vegetables will likely be delayed (though the local rabbits should have some good forage for a while). Unfortunately, Tucson was in the opposite direction from where we were going and I suspect this incredible deal will be gone by the time I could ever make it back down there.
1961 FC-170 $450: (SOLD quickly after I posted it; it was in Tucson). Check out the early hubs on this, too.
So, until our FC is complete, I will just have to enjoy looking at and riding in other people’s FCs. Here’s some random pictures from the event. Thanks again to everyone and I look forward to the FC Get Together in Washington. If you don’t have an FC, find one and join the fun next year!
UPDATE: Currently not for sale.
Dan had this M-677 up for sale. A scammer attempted to use photos of the vehicle (though not the exact ones below) in a scam.
“1964 Jeep M-677 Forward Control 4 door, M-677 Four door Military crew cab Forward Control. One of the rarest and most sought after Jeeps. This is one of around 30 known.
Original 3 cylinder Cerlist Diesel motor. This is a rare military version of the FC 170 but with extra doors.”
Just one update tonight as we are tired from a fun filled day at the FC Roundup. As we were heading back to Jesse’s from dinner we took to the highway for a few miles. Now, I never thought in my wildest dreams that I’d be heading down the Interstate in Phoenix at night in a FC Tour Jeep full of people, let alone traveling at over 60mph and passing other vehicles! For Ann and I it was a perfect ending to a great weekend! More pics and info tomorrow.
Here’s what it looks like at 56MPH in a Tour Jeep with Craig driving (we hit 63MPH at one point), his wife recording the speed and my better half taking a photo. I don’t remember all those lights, but then I was looking out the side as we passed other vehicles. Maybe we hit warp speed and I just wasn’t paying attention? Jason reached 67MPH in his FC Tour Jeep, perhaps setting a new land speed record for Tour Jeeps!?!
Ann and I had a wonderful time at day 1 of the FC Roundup. It was great to match faces with names of people I have corresponded with for years. We spent the start of our visit with Glenn and Colin discussing some of the unusual history of Willys Overland they uncovered recently.
From Left to right is Colin, me and Glenn
As Glenn had to take off, we soon found ourselves on a quick tour of Phoenix in Jason’s FC Tour Jeep. Our quick tour turned into a rollicking ride through Phoenix as its citizens tried to figure out what kind of vehicle was ferrying this crazy group of people. Without hills or dales to wander, we stuck to city streets, waving at all the people who were waving back at us. Canadian Dave was at the helm, navigating the roads of Phoenix like any true Canadian would do … very politely. He didn’t cause a single person to flip us off.
Pretty soon we got thirsty, so we tried to hunt down a Sonic Burger. Unsuccessful on our own, Jason had an opportunity to ask “Big Willy”, a guy next to us wearing a “Big Willy” shirt, if he knew where the closest Sonic Burger place was. Big Willy responded with a point of his finger to our right. Unsure if Big Willy was being accurate or just trying to get rid of us so he could continue driving in traffic, we followed his directions and found the cold drinks we sought.
After our cold drinks, instead of going back to Jesse’s house and the roundup, we soon found ourselves traveling to the airport to pick up Vance. I jumped in to ride shotgun so I could provided directions to the airport; however, my phone’s GPS failed me in our hour of need. Fortunately, Jason’s navigation came through and we found the airport. Now, if you’ve never ridden an FC Tour Jeep through a set of airport terminals, I can highly suggest it. People were smiling and waving … I’ve never seen so many happy people at the airport!!
Eventually, we made our way back to Jesse’s (after a bathroom stop at Valero). After hanging out there for a little while, we all piled into FCs for a trip to dinner. Ann and I jumped back into Jason’s FC. This time, instead of Canadian Dave driving, Jason took the wheel and drove us over to a motel to pick up one more rider before heading to dinner. As we innocently pulled up to the door of the motel, Jason honked the FC’s horn. It just so happened at that moment a woman was walking forty feet or so in front of the FC. The honk startled the woman.
Hearing that honk, the woman’s dog leapt forward, causing the woman to jerk forward too. The woman thought the honk was for her, so she turned around and gave us the look of death. Then, she gave us the one-fingered salute. Yes, it took Jason only a few minutes of driving to have someone flip us off. She might not have been very happy with us (she would flip us off a second time, too), but she made us laugh all the way to dinner.
More form the Round up tomorrow ….
The seller has one nice FC-170 and two parts FC-150s (no photos provided).

This looks rough.
“4 cyl motor doesn’t run but it does turn by hand freely, trans, transfer case and rear end are all original. Front axle has been changed to a 2wd straight axle. The motor, transmission, transfer case, and axles are all still bolted in. Glass is not intact, I have all of the glass except for the rear flat pieces. I do have the doors. Truck has been sandblasted, it does have rust. I currently do not have a title, but should have within the next week. I bought this with the intent of restoring it, but I have too many projects and not enough time.
These trucks were produced from 1956-64, only about 30k were made.”
