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 $2500.
It’s in great shape, but doesn’t run.

“Why buy a gpw, mb or an m38 when your next restoration could be one of the rarest military jeep vehicles that exist. the m677 series jeep was ordered by the navy and marine corp in 1964. there were originally only about 300 ordered. there is now only about 30 or so that exist. of that 30 some are only rusty hulks found in fields by the people who have enough love for the jeep fc that they got out of their car took pictures and recorded the serial number. this auction represents a once in a life time chance to add this truly rare military to jeep your collection. i have seen on some military vehicle blogs that some people have been looking for 10 to 20 years for one of these. ok the truck.. first the body is rust free.”

Brand new reproduction Firestone 7.00-15 military lug tires on factory 15” steel wheels.

Beautiful Mountain Green Poly and Palm Beach Ivory two-tone with beige interior. Very reliable and can be driven anywhere. Top speed of about 55 MPH but will pull a house down the road. “Tool Time” Tim Taylor just paid $40,000 for one of these trucks in similar condition at the recent Arizona auctions, this truck can be bought for only $20,950.”

“Willys Jeep FC150 1959 or later. Not sure of the exact year as the vin # is missing. Most of the work that has been done was by the prior owner and I have not driven it on the road since purchasing. Driving it in the yard all seems to work except the brakes need attention ….. Needs tee installed at master cyl. for brake lights. I have the tee and switch. The wipers do not work. All glass is intact with some clouding on lower windshield. The passenger side seat has had the mounts moved so it is not attached as it should be. The emergency brake is not hooked up.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3700
While the outside on this looks very good, the engine is frozen. The seller presents a variety of comparison prices to make the case for the price.
“After much agonizing, I’m selling my 1960 Jeep FC170 cabover pickup (flatbed). Good body, presentable interior, nearly new tires. All original running gear: 3-speed, two-speed transfer case, locking hubs. Hurricane 6-cylinder engine is frozen (rod?). Clear title, current license. This will be a very easy restoration for a collector, or can be a real workhorse with either the same engine or with a 350 swap (adapters are available commercially). Why sell it? Running out of time this year, with too many family medical issues to deal with, and enough other 4×4’s that this one isn’t really needed. Call for more info or pictures. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
It starts, but sounds like it hasn’t been driven. The seller has listed a number of specifics so check out the website for more info.
“THE FOLLOWING IS MY STORY WITH THIS VEHICLE: This FC-170 Jeep was purchased three years ago from a neighbor that has since passed away. He was an engineer and this vehicle was his baby, he kept it up-to-date in many respects. He also used it for many years as a working truck and parked it under an overhang and sometimes under a big oak tree. It had a toolbox bed, but I removed it. I bought it with the intent of restoring it, but have I not had the time or the money—my loss may be your gain. Based on all the FC-170s that I have seen for the last couple of years, this one is in good shape. The following is what I have done to it (very little besides admire it and dream of rebuilding it) …”
I included the pic below because it is a good look at how the tranny and transfercase were adapted to work in the FC.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
It looks like there is some rust on this to me, but nothing too bad.
“1962 jeep fs 170 it looks rust free, very solid have not tried to start it, it is complete it belonged to a friends father that passed away i dont know the last time it ran but they say it ran , tires are ok there is a dent on the roof , the glass is good , this ,jeep is for sale in other places so i may end the auction early or it may be sold when you buy it now ,from 1957 to 1964 only 30,000 where made DUE TO THE RESPONSE TO THIS LISTING I TOOK MORE PHOTOS AND LOOKED FOR RUST THERE WAS SOME BUBBLES ON THE DOOR BOTTOM EVERYTHING IS SOLID WITH ONLY SURFACE RUST”
This FC includes a second FC-170 parts vehicle.
“In good shape for being 50 years old! Straight 6 226 engine with 3 speed transmission – it starts and runs but smokes a little. The body is fairly straight, small rust in passenger side corners. An intake scoop was added south of the border to get more cooling at one point in its life. New tires (zero miles on them) and powder coated stock wheels (two spare wheels also). Have another parts rig, a 1958 FC170 that has no bed – this goes along with this one. Also have 2 extra engines and a spare transmission or two for the package. Drop me an email for more information. This rig has a cool Oregon history.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6500
I don’t see any rust on this FC. It appears in good, original condition.

It has a 6 cyl motor with a 3 spd manual trans. The seats were recently redone. All that is left to be completed in the interior is a new headliner and visors. There is a little rust which is staring to show in the interior right under the front bottom corner of the windshield which can be seen in the pic below. This vehicle is located in Medford, NJ.
UPDATE: Was on ebay. **SOLD**
In the past year, I have only seen one of these for sale and that was on eBay. This looks like it is in great shape. It doesn’t run at the moment.
