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: Price dropped to $1700
(11/02/09) It sounds like price is at least somewhat flexible. Must Sell.

It’s not perfect, but the price sure is good.

This needs some work.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
It sure looks like it has been sitting.
“This 1958 Willys FC150 cab over engine stake bed jeep has been sitting for a few years.
It is not running now, but it is not mechanically broke. It is a 12 speed with a PTO. It has reversed rims for stability, and could be a good workhorse for someone, or show jeep. The jeep is located in San Ramon, and you have to call to see it. It is a FC150. I’ve priced it to sell because I need the space.
UPDATE: Was priced at $4000. Thanks Alan!
(03/24/2010) It looks solid and complete.
“1960 Jeep Willys FC-150 cab forward control. 4-cylinder flat head. In running condition but needs to be refurbished or restored.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500
According to the seller, that is the original paint.
“For sale is a original and rare 1959 FC170 with the 9 foot bed option. Original paint, never been repainted. Two previous owners, complete and fully documented ownership history, including the original dealership bill of sale. Everything works. Everything on the Jeep is original, the interior is complete, seat upholstery is original, the running gear is refurbished and works as it should, including the engine, the 3 speed manual, the transfer-case, 4 wheel drive, axles, diffs, all in good running condition. Rebuild gas tank and rebuild the sending unit. This Jeep drives real nice, and everything works, the heater, all the electrical, the turn signals, lights. Complete with original headliner, original door panels, original sun visors, and a few rare items like a vinyl cigarette box holder attached to the visor. The stencil “Jeep” and “4 Wheel Drive” insignias on the tailgate are original. The tires are original old stock, most likely the second set, dating early 60’s. A true survivor, this Jeep spent 90% of her life in one family, who owned a RV business in a small town in Washington State. The Jeep was mostly used to plow occasional snow on the RV lot, otherwise the Jeep parked in the dry. The body is completely stock and original, no accidents, no rust with the exception of pitting and surface rust on rear fender flares and surface rust on the bed floor. Because it is so original I never had plans to repaint or frame-off restore this Jeep, I always loved the original condition it is in. I just made everything work properly, with the goal to avoid any modern upgrades or parts replacements that are not era correct. This Jeep drives real nice, it breaks properly, shifts nicely and the engine sounds very healthy. This FC170 is a true survivor. Your chance to own a piece of Jeep history. Original West Coast Jeep all her life! The snow plow mechanism works, but I do not have the plow blade. This FC170 is incredible. West Coast Jeep all her life, documented ownership history, I am the 3rd owner. I even have the original dealership bill of sale from 1959! Original paint!!!!! Surface rust on bed, fenders, but NO critical rust in all the common areas!”
This was formerly a Fire FC.
“This ’59 has a rare cab with 16,900 original miles. Was originally a fire truck, was disassembled and kept in a barn for years. Previous owner sandblasted frame and undercarriage which is in excellent condition. 265 engine was completely rebuilt and a very rare 4-speed transmission was added. A steel dump body with dual pistons was custom made. Dump works perfectly. Chrome dual pipes were added for charm and a great sound. Truck goes like crazy! What it needs: a bumper, needs wipers connected, and the heater hose needs connecting. It won’t take much to finish it off! I don’t have the time or energy to do it myself. Call if you have a question – 603-532-7645 or email. Paypal or certified bank check”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The body is a bit rough, but plenty of parts on this no reserve FC.
“60’s Jeep FC150 complete, yet not running. Been sitting since 1975, has bad tranny. Bill of Sale only. Snow plow assembly already sold.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This seller must sell a variety of trucks, including this FC and a soon to be listed 1965 Willys Jeep FC170 DRW.
“1957 Willys FC150 4 cyl. 3 spd. 4X4. First off I am going through a divorice and I have to sell most of my trucks. The starting bid is what I can get for it as scrap. There is NO RESERVE. I hope that doesn’t happen. If in the event I don’t sell the truck, I will take it apart and scrap the shell. So if you see a part you need, let me know when the auction is over.
I regret that I must sell my trucks. This is a 57 FC150 that runs good, all the 4X4 works, has lock out hubs, electric fuel pump, GM alternator, and already has 11″ brakes installed on the front. I have 11″ backing plates and 1 drum for the rear that are included. The cab needs some some work. The bed is really good shape for one of these trucks. They are usually the hardest part to find. The 65 FC150 I will be listing later has a bed, but not as nice as this one. The windshield is cracked, but a good one is included. Also included with this truck is a complete 4 spd. set up for an FC150, 2 original gas tanks, a whole rear half of a cab, a whole front half of a cab, 2 doors for parts and a rear frame section that has a counterweight and mounting brackets. The rear cab section is good for patches for the lower cab corners. I have an early cab heater that is included, but it is pieces. The 2 brown seats in the pictures are included. If I think of anything else I will add it. I have a clear title. I have engines, transmissions, transfercases, rears if someone needs parts. I will add a link to Photobucket for more pictures. If you would like additional pictures, just send me your email address. If you have any questions please ask. I encourage anyone interested to come look at the truck. I work nights and am available during the day.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200
(09/03/2010) This appears in good shape, but I can’t quite tell how good.
“1963 Willys F 170 4X4 6 cylinder, runs great, good shape”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3100
(03/23/2010) It should run once the carb is cleaned.
“This is an incredable find! This FC150 is a wide track 79″ wheelbase with all the hard to find parts…gas tank, tail gate, windshield, original seats, exterior cab lights. Has a new battery. The engine is a 1963 Ford 170 straight 6 and turns over freely. Once the carburator is cleaned, it should fire right up. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
(08/21/2010) “Here is one of the rarest Jeeps out of my collection, and by far the most original un-restored complete Jeep, a 1959 FC170 with the 9 foot bed option. Original paint, never been repainted. Paint has great patina and shows age of the Jeep. Two owners, complete and fully documented ownership history, including the original dealership bill of sale. I went through this Jeep and made everything work. Original engine needed spark plugs and a tune up and a new generator. I found an original era correct generator. Everything on the Jeep is original, the interior is complete, seat upholstery is original, the running gear is refurbished and works as it should, including the engine, the 3 speed manual, the transfer-case, 4 wheel drive, axles, diffs, all in good running condition. I cleaned and re-sealed the tank and rebuild the sending unit. This Jeep drives real nice, and everything works, the heater, all the electrical, the turn signals, lights. Complete with original headliner, original door panels, original sun visors, and a few rare items like a vinyl cigarette box holder attached to the visor. The stencil “Jeep” and “4 Wheel Drive” insignias on the tailgate are original. The tires are original old stock, most likely the second set, dating early 60’s.

This Jeep drives real nice, it breaks properly, shifts nicely and the engine sounds very healthy. This FC170 is a true survivor. Your chance to own a piece of Jeep history. The Black/Yellow California plates are not original, they are new personalized DMV issue and I painted them to the correct colors. The license plate does read “59FC170″ and is included in this sale. I added the vintage ’59 Texas truck plates for looks, this Jeep was never registered in Texas. Original West Coast Jeep all her life! The rare Texas plates are also part of the sale. The snow plow mechanism works, but I do not have the plow blade. This Jeep, like all my other Jeeps listed for sale on Ebay, has valid and current California Registration, new tags good through 2011. The title is clear and in my name. I have collected Jeeps for many years, and I am selling a number of rare Jeeps out of my collection.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3450.
The seller also has a FC-150, though it doesn’t appear to be for sale.
“VERY good body, and as you can see… original tailgate stenciling is still alive and well! Engine (Original) has been started but will need rings at least. A “plus” as is if you have mosquito issues. If you’re not in the mood to rebuild… A perfect engine swap is the 60 degree V-6 Chev found in tons of S-10 pick-ups and other. They’re all over the place and they fit under the “dog house” without modifications to the sheet metal.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500.
UPDATE: Gordon points out that a “Crummy” is a term for a forest worker truck, typically a “six-pack” crew cab or a suburban or van type vehicle.
“Collector item 1959 Jeep w “Crummy Cab” Forward control original USFS rig. They only made about a 1000 of these. 86000 original miles. Great wood truck too. Needs work but runs.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $25,000

The 2nd Annual Northwest FC Get Together was this past weekend in Olympia. Josue was kind enough to forward some images from the event and give his take on it.
Josue writes, “Last weekend was the first opportunity I have had to visit a Jeep get-together. It wasn’t a huge turnout but it was definitely worth visiting. The meet-up was in Olympia, WA and it was specifically for Forward Control Jeeps. This was the second year and only about 8 showed up, although I’m sure it will get bigger with time. It was fun talking to a few people and seeing a couple of them run.” Thanks Josue!
UPDATE: Was $1500. **SOLD**

I was in the small town of Payette on Sunday and spotted this FC-150 just inside the fence of the TVM Salvage/Recyling Yard. It’s at the corner of 17th Ave N and N 3rd Street. Here’s their website http://www.tvmrecycling.com/ which shows the main office in Nampa.
