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: Still Available.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
It runs, but needs work.
“This is an original fire dept truck,ole no.5, it shows 22k miles,i think they are right but you be the judge,it does need restored. If I prime it it will run,I think it needs a fuel pump,carb rebuilt,it does not smoke ,the brakes are down, the hydraulic pump on blade does work,This is original paint so it is not like you are going to run into anything hidden,it does have some rust spot,cab corner outside are good but are rusted inside,the inside bed has surface rust,but no holes,The windshield is broke but does have a good one to go in,tires are good,doors fit real nice and tight,The front drive shaft is out and I know nothing about the 4 wheel drive,the seats need redone,,I took the original off,springs are good,the tail gate works fine and not all dented up,Now just think about it wouldn’t this be a neat truck for a plow company advertisement,,It is for sale locally,,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(05/05/2014) Looks a bit low in the back.
“fc150 narrow track needs windshield and brake work mostly complete low rust bill of sale only”
George spotted this video. It shows that FC-170 from SEMA racing down the road on its tracks. Nice interior shots of it.
UPDATE: This is back on eBay.
This is a couple hours from me.
“I found this sitting in a field here locally in Enterprise very good shape for sitting outside for so long but is by no means a perfect 10 . This would be a good base for a restoration project or just a good all purpose work vehicle around the farm or ranch or whatever. I have got the unit sitting at a local shop where it is currently awaiting some repairs, work done so far rebuilt carb, fuel filter, oil change, new spark plugs, distributor repair, is awaiting front brake repair for they are alittle sticky. I have driven this but it will be a lot better when the brakes get repaired. It had some bad fuel in it and while most of it was drained it does run alittle rough but I feel as more good gasoline is added it will smooth out . It currently does not shift into third but am working to trace this problem out but it may not all get done by the time this auction is over. This jeep does put a smile on your face to drive just because its a great ol’ classic and you just do not see many of these that much anymore. I do have the title for it and it is clean.”

“This is a rare, 1958 FC150 narrow track. It is in very good condition, being 95% complete and original. Odometer reading indicates just under 8K original miles. Body is solid with a few minor dents. F-head engine had the head removed and replaced by previous owner, with reassembly about 80% complete, and as such it is not running.

“We have a rare 1958 willys fc 170. Cosmetically a little rough. Runs and drives. Would make a great restore project. Has working auxiliary pto on transmission, options are endless. Great farm truck or hunting wagon. Bought with lost title so there is no title. Four wheel drive works. Located in Pagosa Springs Co.”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $1000. This one sold quickly! I considered this one for myself.
Looks like a good price. It runs.
“Great unique jeep project. 4cyl engine, 4×4.
Engine does run and it will drive although it has no brakes.
Cab is in decent shape, bed is rusty
come take a look and make me a offer.
I have to get this out of my yard.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
It doesn’t run.
“Well I’m sure no expert on Jeeps, but a guy I know, has had this FC-170 in a barn for the last 20 years, or so.
I ended up with it in a trade.
This is what I would call a “Barn Find”.
Here is what I know….
It belonged to a fire dept. in the mountains here in Colorado.
I believe the 66,147 miles are actual.
It was taken out of service waiting for a muffler system.
This jeep is filthy dirty, and just how I received it.
I have spun the engine by hand, and it “Turns free”.
Yesterday I noticed an FC commercial making the rounds on Facebook, one I hadn’t previously seen. It turned out to be a shortened version that Brendan from the-old-jeep has posted back in 2010. I’m sure some others out there didn’t see it either. It’s a good one that starts with a comedy routine and then shows an FC-150 & 170 hard at working towing vehicles.
No pics provided. I”m not sure if this is an FC or something custom on an FC frame.
“1957 Jeep Willy’s for Sale/Trade. It’s on a 4X4 F-150 Frame-351 V8 Motor- Sounds Great, Runs/Drive excellent- Willing to trade for older coupe or make me an offer.”

“Rare Jeep / Willys FC-150 and FC-170 for sale.
Price depends on which project u want.
Have clean titles for most of them.
These jeeps are becoming increasingly popular amongst car guys. There have been a couple at SEMA the past couple years.
They are getting harder to find every day!!”
John picked up these 5 FCs the other day out of Canandaigua, New York. You might remember these for sale last month.
UPDATE:**SOLD**
I’m wondering if this was used on a Christmas tree farm. There are little trees cut out of the wooden sides.
“For sale, 1957 Willy F C 150, needs some TLC. Has title, 4 cyclinder manuel shift. Would like to trade for jeep with plow plus some cash.”
Drew forwarded an ad for a good looking FC-170 over at Bring-a-trailer’s website. If you want to bid on it you will need to scroll to the bottom of the ad’s page and register with bring-a-trailer.

UPDATE: **SOLD** for $3550 on eBay
“This is a clean project truck that my dad has had for about 6 years. Clean Title and Current CA registration. He sourced it from J&W Jeep in Antelope CA and they in turn hunted it down in the high Northern deserts of Nevada. This truck is in amazing shape for its history and age. Was used for years at a small airstrip for fuel delivery. We have had it running and driving. A good once over on the fluids, charge the battery and she should come to life again. My dead owns 2 of these and realized that he doesn’t need 2. Brakes need some attention. Will assist with shipping and international buyers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,000.
“1959 WILLYS JEEP 1387 PRODUCED , Approximately 87 left in existence. This rare beast runs and drives perfectly and needs nothing with the exception of minor body work. this would make a great museum piece or a really cool swamp buggy if your looking for something built that no one else has,or a great work horse. buyers responsibility to have it shipped but it can be driven. low opening bid, low reserve no reasonable offer refused.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
Looks like it has a tow package on the back. Some good parts value if nothing else.
