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 .
This may have been a Texaco service station jeep. I can make out “Jerry’s”.

I have two FC 150s narrow track for sale. the green one is a 1957 , oregon title in my name, head off and missing, no box but otherwise fairly complete. Windshield in good and not much rot. good east Oregon unit. the other one is I think about the same year, rot in corners, no engine , extra trans and transfer, no glass NO title on that one. $ 7500 for the pair.

1959 Willys Jeep FC-150
Forward Control 4×4
12 Volt System
This 1959 Jeep Forward Control was part of a private Willys collection in California for over 20 years. Prior to the 2000’s it’s only other known residence was Nevada. As far as can be seen, this little truck has had an exclusively dry desert life before recently coming to the northwest to be put back on the road. Built by Willys, its cab over engine layout was based on the Jeep CJ-5 carriage with a short 81″ wheelbase and 74″ bed. This being the rarest year for the FC150, 1959 saw just 1,500 built. It’s equipped with the 134ci Hurricane inline-four, paired with a three-speed manual transmission and a three-speed transfer case. The seats were reupholstered and paint retouched as well as it appears that the engine was overhauled along with other systems sometime ago in its past. All sealed up with no leaks. Continue reading
UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/24/2022) David shared this FC with an Alaskan camper. At first I thought this could be the FC/ camper combo that was driven around the world by Dorothy Rogers and Louis Ostberg, but the FC below appears to have a utility bed under the camper.

UPDATE: **SOLD** These were two separate listings.
Greg’s selling this FC-170. It includes a set of Husky-manufactured Allstate-branded hubs. You can contact Greg at 217 417 1246.
“The remnants of lettering on the driver’s door indicate that this particular truck belonged to a bricklayer early in its life. I assume that the bricklayer bought this truck with the intent of installing the flat bed because adding the flat bed to the factory overload springs in the rear would have been ideal for hauling building materials. It also appears that they improved the roadability of this truck by replacing the original 4.88:1 gears in the axles with 4.27:1 gears that were available many years ago but have since been discontinued. Jeep enthusiasts agree that is why this truck has so many miles on it while other FC’s did not.
The manual locking hubs in this vehicle were obtained from Sears & Roebuck, which sold automobile parts in their catalogs from sometime in the 1950’s into the 1970’s.
In poking around the truck some, I have determined that it wore red and white paint at one point in time. Otherwise, it seems that a youngster got ahold of this truck, did an extremely poor job of installing a 4-inch lift kit, and promptly took this truck off-roading where they ran it up onto something. Whoever this was did an equally poor job of trying to replace the radiator and an even worse job of fixing the broken steering.
I have since replaced the sector shaft, pitman arm, drag link and bellcrank with the later, upgraded versions which I obtained from Harry and Jo at Midwest Willys. I also installed the shift plate underneath the cab while I had the shifter assembly out for new rubber bushings.
The truck does not run at this time. However, I have pulled in a new wiring harness from Walcks that I never finished installing. I still have the instructions for this harness and they will be included.
The truck is an ugly survivor with a broken rear window. All of the other glass is good and I put some used tires on it during the summer of 2021 as the old bias-ply tires finally gave up.
I hate to see it go, but, life seems to be taking a turn and I do not think I can give it the time, effort and attention that it deserves.
I am asking $3,500.00 and that is a firm price for an old beast that comes with a title.”
The seller also has a FC-150 for sale. He will sell both as a combo for $5000.

“1959 FC 170 flatbed Jeep truck. I have a clean title for the truck, the truck runs but needs a fuel pump and new wiring. Truck does run and I have drove it. It could use plug wires and points but it doesn’t knock or have and internal noise. Has a new radiator core. $3000 and does not come with original wheels. I have other wheels that I can put on the truck. If you want the original wheels then the price is $3700 because original 16 inch Jeep wheels are hard to come by in good condition and these wheels are nice.I have videos of the truck on my YouTube channel Red Clay Traveler if you want to see it running. If you buy both the FC 170 and the FC 150 I have for sale then the price is 5000 for both trucks.”
