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: Was $850. **SOLD**
(10/23/2013) Todd spotted this running FC-170.
“This is a rare 3/4 ton cab over jeep with a flathead 6 in it that runs 3 speed transmission dana rearend spicer transfer case cab is rough was a flatbed”
Here’s a good looking FC-170 Glenn found.
Glenn writes, “Was out roaming in NH yesterday looking at a DJ3A. Happened by Ryan’s Garage in Center Ossipee, NH and spotted this freshly done FC170, a real sharp job. Around the parking lot was several other Willys pickups along with another FC donor. Sorry I didn’t get a front shot, but what you don’t see just to the left of the pix is a vey large, loud, chained dog. Nobody came out to tell us differently, so we stayed right in the car. Maybe some of the locals can tell us more. This is SNOW country and these FC models didn’t last long up here.”
How about this cool photo.
“This 8″ x 10″ B&W Glossy Photo of the Edgcomb Steel Jeep Truck was taken in Philadelphia in 1962. The photo remains in good condition, exhibiting only light signs of vintage wear (faint crease marks, etc.).”

There looks to be parts value here.

1964 M-677 Kaiser Jeep Willys forward control FC 170 4 door with factory Cerlist 3 cylinder Diesel engine.
Complete truck needing a total restoration. Very rusty but almost impossible to find a 4 door in any condition.
Clean title. Price $6,000 with the Cerlist Diesel, $4,000 without the Cerlist specific parts. Most people hot rod and don’t use the original equipment.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $1500.
I bought the truck for the bed and don’t need the rest. This is the wide track version not the narrow track. Solid cab corners and doors. Desirable set of lockouts. Now the bad, for some reason the last owner welded around where the top of the cab meets the bottom and welded straps on the body. Never seen anything like it. Not sure why they did it. I was told running when parked but if it was it was a long time ago.
If you know anything about FC’s you know finding a rust free cab with good doors isn’t the easiest thing to come across.
I have a ton of pictures, email me for them.
No title, $1,500 OBO Bring a trailer and cash.”
Kyle has a few parts from his FC-170 he wants to sell. He’s got a motor, a 4speed tranny, a bed, and an engine block. You can email him at kjb187@gmail.com if you are interested.

(09/05/2013) This looks good.
“Factory “fresh air” heater unit.
Has thirty different grease fittings on the chassis.
Spare tire mounted on the right side of the bed is the original wheel design as the existing wheels are on the truck are late model aftermarket wheels. The spare tire is the original size tire used on the vehicle (7.00 x 16″). Four original stock factory wheels are also included in the purchase.
Brand new brake shoes, brake cylinders, brake springs and freshly ground brake drums. New emergency brake cables. New master brake cylinder. All new metal brake lines.
Gas tank was recently refurbished and resealed. Freshly rebuilt carb and fuel pump.
New radiator hoses and heater hoses. New points, condenser, plug wires, spark plugs.
All fluids (engine oil, oil filter, engine coolant, front and rear differentials, transfer case, transmission, oil bath air cleaner) recently changed.
Truck appears to have been in California all of its life as the title indicates that it was first registered in California. The body and truck bed are very solid though I noticed that the lower front and rear corners of the cab appear to have some surface rust or bubbles and the interior windshield frame has some rust where I think water or moisture may have gotten in around the windshield frame at some point in the vehicles life. The frame and under carriage as well as the fender well areas appear to be rust free as it appears that the truck was rust proofed or undercoated many years ago.
The truck was painted sometime ago as I can see indications of “Bell System Green” color under some spots.”
“1957 Jeep Forward Control FC-170 (“One Ton Plus”)
Manufactured in the 1957 model year and first sold in California in 1958, thus registered as a “1958” by the State of California. Late model year VIN number 12109
Original 6-cylinder, flat head, 226 cubic inch “High Torque-Super Hurricane” 105 hp motor.
Engine serial number (FW12105) is off from the VIN (12109) by 4 digits for some reason. The engine appears totally original.

Original Spicer 44F front axle (3,500 lbs.) and Spicer 53 rear axle (4,500 lbs.)
9-foot (108 inches) long bed is longer than the truck wheelbase (103.6″). This was the first time that a truck was sold where the bed length exceeded the wheelbase of the truck.
