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 .
There’s definitely value here. Buhl’s in southern Idaho. We’ll be headed through by Buhl in a couple weeks.

“YOU ARE LOOKING AT MY 1964 JEEP FC170. IF YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE AND STUMBLED ACROSS THIS AUCTION CHECK OUT THEFCCONNECTION.COM. I HAVE ONLY SEEN ONE OTHER OF THESE TRUCKS IN PERSON AND IT WAS A FC150, SHORTER BED AND SOME OTHER THINGS. ONCE I SAW IT I KNEW I HAD TO FIND ONE. THIS FC SPENT MOST OF ITS LIFE IN CALIFORNIA WHICH IS WHY IT IS SO PRESERVED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A CAMPER WHICH IS WHY IT IS IN SUCH GOOD SHAPE. MILEAGE SHOWS 25K AND I BELIEVE IT TO BE FAIRLY ACCURATE BUT CAN NOT GUARANTEE THAT. IT HAS BEEN SLIGHTLY CUSTOMIZED.
THE ORIGINAL OWNER ADDED SOME FUEL JUGS, PROPANE TANKS AND A GENERATOR FOR CAMPING. FRONT BUMPER HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO ACCEPT A WINCH BUT THE WINCH WAS STOLEN WHICH CAUSED GRILLE TO BE BENT. ONE OF FEW IMPERFECTIONS OF THE FC’S BODY. IT COMES WITH A STRAIGHT SIX SUPER HURRICANE THAT HAS BEEN RECENTLY OVERHAULED. RUNS MINT. HAS ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP AND IF YOU PULL CHOKE WILL START IN 10 DEGREE WEATHER NO PROBLEM. HAS 3 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH OVERDRIVE. ALL LIGHTS WORK, TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND SPEEDO. FUEL GAUGE DOESNT WORK AND WIPERS DONT. I HAVE ELECTRICAL MOTOR FOR CONVERSION. WINDSHEILD IS BROKEN BUT YOU CAN GET FROM THAT FC SITE FOR 300 BUCKS. BODY IS IN AMAZING SHAPE AND TIRES HAVE PLENTY OF TREAD EXCEPT SPARE. HAS DRUM BRAKES WHICH WORK AS GOOD AS DRUM BRAKES CAN. ONLY RUST WAS ALONG TOP OF ROOF WHICH HAPPENED WHEN LEAVES TRAPPED WATER UNDER THEM ALONG ROOF LINE. EVENTUALLY WATER CAME THROUGH ROOF AND POORED DOWN A-PILLARS. WATER WAS TRAPPED BEHIND LINING CAUSING RUST, THIS IS WORST AND ONLY BAD THING ABOUTH THIS WHOLE TRUCK. PROBABLY THE BEST CONDITION UNRESTORED FC YOU WILL EVER SEE. THIS IS THE TYPE OF TRUCK YOU WOULD WANT IF YOU DONT WANT TO OWN A LIFTED JK LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ON THIS PLANET. IF YOU WERE SHOPPING FOR A CJ, FJ, DEFENDER BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE MORE ORIGINAL THAN A JK THAN CHECK THIS OUT.”
It’s definitely a project.
“Here is a unique project vehicle. 1958 3/4 ton Kaiser Jeep FC-170 Forward Control Pickup. I’ve had this since 2000 but several other projects have taken priority. I have several 4×4′s and was considering turning this into a slammed 2WD cruiser truck, but I now need to thin the herd. This is a pretty solid starting point. Set up for a small block Chevy/TH400. They have been pulled but are still available for additional cost. I traded original 9′ bed for a beat up one, intending to use the base to create a flat/stake bed. All 8 pieces of glass intact except for passenger door window, which is easy to have made. Comes with additional NOS windshield with rubber included ($500 10 years ago) Also comes with these add’l parts: front fiberglass fender flares, set of 5 stock wheels with zero miles roller tires, pair of stronger Chevy axles- corporate 10 front w/discs, 12 bolt rear, both 4.56 gears. (or upgrade to pair of 3/4 ton Dodge 44 HD front w/flat knuckles for xover steering/ Dana 60 full float rear, both 8 lug 4.10 gears), set of steel 8 lug wheels. 327 Chevy small block w/TH400 negotiable. Clear title, pink in hand. $2,500 w/o options.
I also have a ’65 Jeep Wagoneer in another ad.

(02/09/2014) It’s a project.
“Up for sale is a 1957 Jeep FC150 project truck With an AMC 360 V8. The axles and transmission, transfer case are from a Jeep Wrangler. This is a project it is not complete needs work to be finished. It does run, move and stop . I am selling because I have lost interest in the project and I figured I would see if anyone is interested in it. I am not desperate I would just like to see it go to some one who will finish it. If I can’t get a reasonable offer I will finish it myself.”

(10/28/2013) This has some rust, a rear PTO and some disc brakes up front.
“1962 Jeep FC-170 4×4
226 super hurricane engine-runs quiet and smooth
3 speed transmission
high/low transfer case
rear PTO
Stahl service bed on rear with electric lift
front disc brake conversion- All new parts with new master cylinder
new starter
it needs rear brake work and some minor TLC
clear LA title
more pictures by request to serious buyers only. Please don’t waste my time.”
Looks solid. Needs heater motor.
“This is a very nice FC 150, runs and drives, I drove it in a 4th of July parade this past summer. The Jeep is all original, inside and out, this paint job is 25 plus years old, still looks good. Has been stored inside ever since then, only driven once in a while. I bought it two years ago from an estate when the owner passed away, it is a really cute old truck, but I have too many vehicles to maintain and store inside. The frame is solid, but has surface rust that needs to be sandblasted and repainted. The body is very solid, a few places on the rear fenders where the paint has peeled and there is a small surface rust patch. There are some rust holes in the body panels under the fenders along the frame rails, but these are easily fixed. It is not a show car, but could easily be restored to show condition or simply keep it and enjoy it like it is right now. 4WD works, drives straight, the engine smokes a little when it is started after sitting for a while, heater motor neesd replacing. I had to replace one brake line and cylinder when I bought it in order to drive it, the brakes all work now, we bled the lines, but could use a good pressure bleed, they still feel a little soft. I do have a reserve on this, but it is reasonable for an rare old Jeep. We can deliver if needed, however delivery costs are not included with the sale and no delivery will be made until full payment has been received. Enjoy bidding!”

“This auction is for a original Operators Manual for the M676, M677, M678 & M679. Thes are the military versions of the FC170 Jeep that was printed in May of 1964 by Kaiser Jeep Corporation.”
I don’t know if that has the flatbed or not.
“When was the last time you saw one of these ? Original drive train , flat head super 6 / three speed , full time 4×4 , low neutral high transfer case with PTO . Minimal rust , very low on rear cab corners and drivers floor . 7.50/16 deep lug tires , like new.

As Craig put it when he forwarded me the link, this is FC Gold. Below is a video of an original Swedish Scania Vabis FC-150AM. Learn more about the existing FC-150 AM at http://www.thefcconnection.com/fc’s_from_norway.htm. Also, look for glimpses of the FC Minibus as well.
As you watch the video, you’ll be able to view the point at which this photo was taken, though the scene of the photo being taken is cut. The photo comes from the book the “Jeepen i Sverige”: http://www.film.queensu.ca/cj3b/Finds/FindsSweden.html (looks like a very interesting book!)
According to Even Erlien, both the FC-150Am and the Volvo c202 were built with specification given by the Swedish Army. The Jeep-Scania got round fenders and the Volvo got square. Here’s a comparison of the two:
Swedish Scania Vibas FC-150AM
Volvo C202 4×4
Maybe not FC Gold, this video is still pretty neat as well (thanks again to Craig).
UPDATE: Was listed at $10,500. **Status Unknown**
(11/29/2012) I like the company’s logo. Neat truck.
“1957 Willys Jeep FC150. First year made and very hard to find truck. Has the great V6 oddfire engine with less than 2,000 miles since rebuilt. Lots of gears for on/ off road- 3 speed manual transmission, overdrive and then transfer case. In case you are unaware the FC’s are built on same frame as CJ5 so they are not a large truck. Does highway speeds at 65 very nice. Complete drive-train recently gone through and professionally done including transfer case, transmission, overdrive, axles, brakes. Paint in good condition. My intent was to (or still is) pull the cab and box and make into show truck which is easily done. This truck stops everyone as very rarely people have seen an FC150 before. Truck is in a Sparks warehouse. Only serious cash buyers unless you have a 2007 or newer Jeep 4 door which you want to look at trading.”
