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 .

(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.

“1958 Jeep FC-150
4×4 works good
original hurricane 4 cyl. runs good
original 3 speed transmission shifts good
took body off frame and sanded and painted frame in 05 when I got the truck
put new hoses and belts, radiator, fuel pump, water pump, wires, plugs, shocks, brakes
good set of tires all around
drove this truck every summer since 05, last driven in oct 10, haven’t got it out this year yet,
needs new battery, put new in in 05 but now it’s dead but can be jump off to drive,
it has the original 6 volt system
this truck was made from the factory on a cj3 frame and running gear, so even though it
is a rare truck, parts for the drive train are very easily found.
the body on this truck is pretty good shape for its year, it looks like it was repainted years ago,
rust is at a minimum for these trucks, both floor boards and rear cab corners are the worst part
this truck is as close to original as they come, i’ve driven it all over the place on road on trails
i took it to a car show 30 miles away, which took a while considering it has a top speed of 50 mph down hill
i love this truck but have to many toys and no room.
I prefer cash but will consider partial trades or trades for samurai tin top, jeep cj or wrangler with hard top 4×4 only”

“You are looking at/bidding on a 1963 Jeep FC-150 in excellent condition. I am selling this for a very good friend of mine who is not exactly computer literate! Please feel free to ask any questions at all that you may have about the vehicle, and I will relay them in a timely manner.
He has owned this Jeep for over 25 years and has taken very good care of it. It was re-painted three years ago, and has been garage kept ever since. (Over $3k invested) (It’s been garage kept for almost 20 years) The seats were re-upholstered just last summer to the tune of $750. The only issue with the vehicle is that the speedometer stopped working in March. It has only been driven four or five times since then, and therefore the mileage on the odometer is only about 100 miles off.
-This model is the 4 cylinder (134 CI) 3 speed transmission with a 2 speed transfer case.
-It has a PTO driven 8,000 pound winch that is fully functional (Ramsey)
-Good windshield with no cracks or chips at all.
-The plumbing and undercarriage for a plow is on the Jeep, but no plow is included with the sale. (Previous owner plowed with it about 30 years ago)
-4 Brand new Hercules tires with less than 50 miles on them. (Purchased 3 weeks ago)
-Vehicle is 100% ready to turn key and go.”

Steve reports on the Ouray 4th of July Festival. Learn more at the Forward Forum. See all the pictures here.
“Here is Craig and Jason’s big day in Ouray (You-ray), Colorado. It’s the mountain town’s signature event of the year, The Fourth Of July. They asked Craig to bring his restored San Juan Mountain Tour Truck to join in their parade.
Jason found one of the other original tour Jeep Forward Control trucks and surprised them with twins. He just finished the restoration just last week and headed strait for Ouray. Jason’s truck has the yellow signs that say, “Think.”
This links you to the Town’s website describing their 4th of July Festivities. Here are photos of the Two coolest FC trucks ever restored joining their parade. The red FC trucks came from the states of Missouri and Texas to join the reunion in Colorado. They even went on a trail ride across the old routes where the trucks carried tourists through the beautiful San Juan Mountains of Southern Colorado. What a cool experience; I wish I could have been there.”
UPDATE: This is back on eBay
(08/20/2010) It looks solid.
“1957 willys fc150. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT COMPLETELY RESTORED but it is a solid truck and strong runner. this truck is in excellent mechanical condition. Runs drives and stops, ( good brakes).
