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: Don’t forget that next weekend is the FC Roundup. We’d planned on attending, but had to change our plans this week.
The 2015 Jeep FC Roundup will be held March 27-29. Unfortunately, one great FC guy who won’t be able to attend is Troy Fry, who passed away in September. You might remember the amazing work Troy did on his orange and white FC (check out his build photos here). He was an all-around nice guy and will be missed.
If you have any questions about this year’s Roundup, email Jesse Ybarra at m677@cs.com.

This auction is for two trucks. The ’57 is apart, but has a title, while the tow truck doesn’t have a title.
“Auction is for a 1957 Willys Pickup, with clear title, that is in pieces however you will receive at no additional cost a Really cool Willys Pickup/Tow Truck. This is a project that needs some finishing touches however most of the heavy lifting is already done. Pretty solid however the cab has had some repairs that are less than perfect. Serial number for the Tow Truck is 55268 70575. Most of what I did was major mechanical…new timing chain and gears, new electronic distributor, rebuilt carburetor, new clutch and pressure plate with turned flywheel, new speedometer cable.
* used some parts from a 1957 pickup that will also be included in the sale, specifically the T-90 trans and cross member as well as the wiper motor. Truck runs great, clutch is smooth as silk. Needs new front windshield, tail lights and other minor finishing touches. This is as close to original as it gets…she isn’t fast and drives like she’s 50 years old but it is really cool. You will receive clear title for the 1957 and all remaining parts from the 57..cab, frame, axles, etc. The Ramsey pto isn’t hooked up but is included as well as the drive shaft to the winch. Front pusher bumper and plow included. The plow pump needs an adjustment to the check valve as it doesn’t always stay up. You will also receive a brand new radiator and plastic gas tank however the ones in the truck are fine. Buyer could use the Tow Truck as parts Truck to refurbish the 1957…just a thought.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
Runs and drives. Is a very early FC.
“For sale 1957 Willys Jeep Forward Control FC-150 4X4 cab over pickup truck. I bought this original Fc-150 over ten years ago with the intention of restoring it. I simply have too many projects to get around to it. It has been stored indoors every since I bought it. The Jeep will run and drive but I stopped driving it due to the poor condition of the tires and brakes. Includes spare sheet metal parts including lower cab corners, spare door, remains of the original bed and more. This is the lowest known serial number on the Forward Control Registry! This is a rare model Jeep and I had to go to New Hampshire to get this one. I will only sell it to someone that has the plans and the means to restore it. If you want to build a swamp buggy go find an old wrangler! There is some rust in the lower cab corners but nothing that cannot be fixed. Get real this truck is 58 years old and is a project! The rest of the cab including the rain gutters are in good condition. I have a Florida little for it. I hate to see it go but I will only sell it to someone who is gone actually restore it…. Not stick it in a field to rot away or butcher it up… I’d rather keep it!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
