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 .
Has a problem with 3rd gear, but still looks like it might be a good price. According to one Facebooker, it may already be sold.

“For Sale is a 1959 Willys Jeep FC170. The truck has a flathead Hurricane straight 6. The drivetrain is all there, but the engine is locked up and is not feasible to get running without a total rebuild. The truck would make a great engine swap candidate. There is some rust in the normal spots but is all very fixable. The frame is near perfect.
There is body damage, as shown in the pictures and the windshield needs to be replaced. It has a good title.
These trucks are getting hard to find. This is a project truck and a really solid starting point.”

“I have a jeep FC 170 that I picked up with the intention of giving new life.
Sadly, too much life and too many projects have thwarted my intentions.
It was in rough shape when I got it and I haven’t touched it since I unloaded it some years ago. It is a serious undertaking if you were to try to bring this back to life, lots of rust and I don’t believe the engine is reusable though I don’t know that for certain.
I’d like to try to find it a home where it gets some sort of use before its no good to anyone. I wish I had been able to get to it myself.
I’m not sure on the value honestly. That is something I would happily discuss with a seriously interested party. They are tough to find but this one is rough, sadly.
I don’t have a title. It would come with a Bill of Sale, in NH, ME that and a vin verification are all that’s needed to reg to it wasn’t a problem for me. It looks like it was last registered in 2005 in VT.
I’m happy to answer questions but seeing it in person is going to give you the most info I think.
Thanks.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4500.
Needs work.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/22/2019) The title shows it as a “1951”, but the seller refers to it in the description as a 1959. I suspect the title is for another jeep.

Here’s an unusual FC that Mike spotted.

David shared this ad.
“Not sure what it is or what frame it is sitting on. I will add to this as questions are asked. I have the title to it. It has a motor trans and transfer case that looks original. I have added a few pics for you to look at.”

I’m not sure how much value is here.

“FC 150. Mostly complete. Has some rust as they all do. We bought it about a year ago. We were told it runs but I have not heard it. Also have another cab that is in much better shape that could be bought with this Jeep for some additional money”
It has sat a while.

“Willys Jeep FC170 Forward Control. These are very rare, most people have never seen one. They were built from 1956-1965. Super Hurricane six, Rare four speed. All original running gear. Motor does turn over. It has sat many years inside an enclosed building. Probably needs Carb cleaned , new fuel pump, gas tank cleaned, New belts, hoses. Needs brakes checked. It rolls easy so it can be loaded on a trailer. I can assist with loading or shipping.
The back glass is not in it, but it is included. The gas tank was removed( I assume for cleaning)and is included with brackets. I have the extended front bumper and warn winch mounts. Everything is there except the frame covers that fit in front of the rear fenders. I think a sheet metal guy could make some easily. some of the stake bed brackets are rusted from holding leaves. Reproductions are available. Speedo is missing also.”
This could save someone with a bad cab a lot of work.

“(translated from French) Good morning to everything. My spouse is selling his truck for the sum of $ 5 000, here are the details. This is a flat-Nose Truck FC-170, 1963, four wheel drive with recording. For Advised Restorer. The engine is a super hurricaine that bathes in heating oil. There are only 7 known copies in Quebec. The Jeep forward control is a truck made by willys motors, later named Kaiser Jeep, from 1956 to 1965. The Advanced order models were mainly marketed as a corporate, municipal, military and civil working vehicles. The beds went from simple platforms to complete trailers, tilting trucks and fire trucks. Snow blower, scratch. Lumberjack truck. Site for more information-https://lautomobileancienne.com/tag/jeep-fc-170/”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
This is an ex-fire truck. It may need some engine work.
“truck has 9000 miles, was a fire truck.
has small holes for roof lights, and switches
rust free, very original
still has factory grease marks on axels
was yellow, then repainted red.
the “cage” on the back is just set there, for my puppies, it comes right off
This jeep runs and drives, however it has spun a bearing. The distributor was never oiled, and it siezed one day here at the farm. THe distributor runs the oil pump, and when we towed it to the shop, and fixed the problem, it has a very distinctive knock in the lower end.
There is no smoke, it was not run this way. It does start and run.”
UPDATE: This may have sold. It was listed for about $2600 on the Swedish site https://www.blocket.se.
Oscar shared this FC for sale in Sweden. It only has about 1000 miles on it!
He wrote, “It has been used by the Swedish HWY maintenance dept. and it was common that these vehicles had very low miles. 4 owners only and fairly low price, SEK 25.000 which is about $2.600”
Oscar shared this FC with what I assume is a custom bed.
