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 on eBay.
Engine turns over.
“1962 jeep fc170 engine not locked up but needs restored have title ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4600.
Needs a few items, but sure looks solid.
“Here’s a most affordable RARE antique vehicle, made by Willys for farm/ranch use.
This little truck’s teeny 134 c.i. engine runs very well, top speed about 45 mph in high range. Same running gear as a similar era CJ, but it’s mid-engined, giving it great traction in 4wd. The little flatbed has a massive set of springs supporting it, 15″ tires are good, paint/body are decent.
Included is a 6′ Western snowplow, power lift only, that is currently not installed but its frame can be easily re-bolted. With chains on all wheels, I’ve pushed fresh snow high as the windows. The cabover design lets you see right where the blade is, for tight spots.
Strong Points:
Has a high Cool Factor. Everybody likes the Jeep.
Starts right up, and roars right off — is a good runner; a great repair manual and minor spare parts included.
Great running gear — no leaks, brakes are very good (for it’s era).
Driver’s window is just right for hanging your elbow out.
Weak Points:
Windshield has major cracks on the right side and both side glass is plexiglass (been that way since before I bought it in the late 80’s – I did see an ad recently for a cab with intact glass for $100, so this is solvable).
Runs hot in the summer (needs a bigger radiator fan and vents in the bed’s headboard), needs a speedo cable made up.”
Has some rust.
“Asking $300 or best offer for this 1960 Forward Control Jeep 150 BareCab. Windows are not included, some rust damage, has been cleaned and power washed. Contact me for more information.”

(02/26/2014) This former California FC appears to still have a California black plate on the front.
“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.
UPDATE: **SOLD** WAs $5000.
Looks good, but seller notes it could use a little more work to be really nice.
“1963 Willys Jeep FC 150 with parts. I have almost two sets of extra running gear. There is a hard to find windshield. The 1963 runs drives and stops but could use a restoration to be really nice.”

Good looking FC.
“Jeep FC-150 Cab over pickup. redone from frame up ! see pictures. Or call tell you all that was done.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(05/13/2014) Maybe this is a 1958 rather than a ’68?
“I have a Willys FC Jeep truck for sale. Truck is a rolling chassis with engine and no trans or transfer case. Front windshield is still intact. I also have a rolling frame with engine and no trans or transfer case for the same year FC Jeep. I do not have titles for either of them. They are to be sold as is complete for parts.

“1960 Jeep FC170 forward control. Have title, no engine or transmission. $1100.00 I will consider trades.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(01/27/2011) The passenger side doesn’t look all that rusty. It runs, though no word on whether it stops.
“FC150, runs well. typical rust. Plow& plow pump, NO PAPERS. $2,000.”
UPDATE: Was $4000. **Status Unknown**
It doesn’t run.
Just 1,519 Jeep FC’s 170’s were built in this configuration in 1958. This is a very original truck down to the Montgomery Ward’s brand tires that have been holding air continuously for the 20 years this truck has been in the family. The only non-original feature is that it has been converted to 12volt, but 6 volt components are included to convert it back. It has been stored in doors since 1994. We have had it running some years ago and the engine is not stuck. But… it is one of those projects that we just haven’t found the time for and it deserves to be passed on to someone that will fix her up and show off this rare, collectible truck. It does have some rust, but it is vey repairable and the windshield IS NOT cracked.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
(12/08/2012) I don’t have a manual in front of me, but I’m pretty sure the radiator mounts in a slightly different spot.
“Selling a Jeep Willys for a friend, please call the listed phone number and ask for Doug, he has all of the specific information on this vehicle if you are interested.
The Jeep does run, plow works nicely and it has a crane jack on the back. The Jeep can be sold with or without the plow and crane.”
Is that wood under the dump bed? I can’t quite tell.
“Extremely rare, fully restored 1957 Jeep. Good working condition–including plow mechanism and dump truck. Orange w/ black roof cab.”
http://burlington.craigslist.org/cto/4526859985.html

I am selling this because I have to many projects, and because of so many calls on this vehicle when people saw it in the back ground of other vehicles that I have listed.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,000.
Here’s an unusual setup.
“Custom 61 Willys Jeep! Everything New on this Beast ! Come see it for yourself !
350 Chevy Motor Bored over with Holley Double Pumper less than 2000 miles !
Lots of custom fabrication on this truck ! This is a One of a Kind HotRod ! Lots of Chrome ! Stacked Exhaust ! Have Receipts! Serious Inquiries Only Please ! Mama says its time to Let it Go !
Will Trade for the Right Vehicle ! Tell me what you got !”
UPDATE: Was $2400. **Status Unknown**
Nonrunning project.
“ bought several of these cool, pug-nosed Willys Jeep FC170s, FC150s and a BUNCH of related parts to get the stuff I want/need for my own project. This one is rough, but in my opinion, restorable. I’ll sell this truck complete (with title), or will consider selling parts for the right price.
This is considered a 3/4-ton pick-up with a Dana 44 closed-knuckle front axle, and a Dana 53 rear axle. The truck rolls free (axles/brakes are NOT locked up), and the drivetrain (engine/transmission/transfer case) is still installed, although I have no idea as to the mechanical condition. Engine is the Super Hurricane inline 6-cylinder mated to a T90 3-speed manual trans.
The frame looks good on this truck, and the cab appears to be repairable, although it’s arguably rough (common for Midwest vehicles of this vintage). Someone retrofitted what appears to be a ’50s GM dash into the truck, and did a pretty good job doing so. If you’d prefer to go back to a stock dash set-up, I have interior parts available.
NOTE: Parts in the rear of the truck will be cleaned up before it’s sold.
I have a few FC170 vehicles available, along with a nice FC170 rolling frame, a couple FC cabs (one FC170, and one FC150), and lots of parts. If you’re looking for a custom project, consider putting one of these classic FC cabs on a late-model chassis, much like I’m doing with my project: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/jeep-non-hardcore/1558953-jeep-fc170-patina-rod-mutt.html
Located in Cedar Springs, Michigan (49319), just north of Grand Rapids.”
