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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 on eBay. **SOLD**
Tom forwarded some additional pictures he received from the seller. The seller messaged him that he is selling the FC for a friend that recently had a stroke. The seller doesn’t know much about the vehicle.
“1961 willys jeep fc-170 4×4 starts and runs 4×4 works”
I like this one. Wish there was a picture of the bed floor. The rest of the truck looks really solid. I am thinking it may be a 4-speed based on the shifter. Looks like a winching mishap pulled the bar down on the front bumper.
Seller has a number of vehicles for sale. The early Bronco and Camaro look good (not sure if for sale)
Yes, that FC-170 does look good in the photo. I also wonder if it’s as good underneath. That’s not a factory 4 spd shifter. I was guessing that it has an automatic and he used an aftermarket chrome shift lever he had laying around. The E-bay ad doesn’t say much about the truck, or did I miss it.
The brass tag on the dashboard and the light green interior color tells me that it’s a former US Government truck, probably the Forest Service. I’d like to see a photo of the brass nomenclature plate.

Las Vegas NM is on I-25, about 60 miles north of Santa Fe.
I thought it was a 4 speed shifter too but it looks chrome and has a fast taper just below the knob. Factory lever is straight at that spot with a small step down in size. How’s that for a trivial detail?
It appears it did not sell. The last bid was $3550. Here’s the original ebay ad:

If you are interested, I suggest contacting the seller via the ebay email system.
Thanks! I’ve been looking for a 170 that would make a good restoration candidate (runner with limited rust).
I1s this truck still for sale if so what is the price
Hi Darrell,
I’ve marked this sold. I haven’t seen it relisted in a few months.
