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 .

The camper appears in good shape.

At the very least there appear to be some good parts here.
“Jeep (Willys) truck. Been sitting for a long time. I’ve done some research and found out these were built by Jeep (Willys) from 1956-1964 the models were FC150 & FC170. All were 4×4. Don’t no if it’s a FC150 or a FC170. Has motor, tranny and all the drive train, has everything. No clue if the motor could ever run again ( I would take an educated guess and say probably NOT). I will say it again IT HAS BEEN SITTING A LONG TIME. The interior is real rough. Some windows are broke out but some are’nt. It’s some what rare from what I’ve been able to find out.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1100.
This has a buy-it-now price of $1100.
“This is 50 year old rather scarce model willy;s truck in rather rough shape. The truck is a 1957 that was last registered in 1978; The truck has a current Idaho title. I can turn the engine over with a wrench and I pulled it so the tires turn. The pictures show that there really are no straight body panels or good glass and the fuel tank, tailgate, radiator and one seat are missing.. The truck is built on a 1957 CJ-5 chassis and a 1957 jeep body fits. I understand that the chassis parts are easy to obtain and the body/bed parts are getting scarce but are available at a reasonable cost. I suggest that the buyer pick this up with a regular car trailer.”
Here’s a Fleet Van ad from the April 12, 1963, issue of the Lakeland Ledger.

Here’s an ad for the FJ-3A that was on eBay.

This is a press release from July 11, 1957, announcing the FC-170. It contains four pages and is printed on 8.5×11″ paper.
Engine is out. This seller includes an engine from an old welder that runs. It may have low miles.
“1958 Jeep FC150 Forward Control project truck. 4 wheel drive Classic. This is a small limited production Jeep with a lot of character. Need to sell because my kids soccer now takes all my project time. Engine is out but I have one for it that you can hear run, it is the same motor that came with the FC150, an f134 hurricane currently mounted on a welding trailer, fairly low hours. Everything else is there. Tires hold air. Needs restoration but is a solid truck, the glass is all intact. No title. Call Joe at 320 Seven 6 one, 17 four five if interested.”

(08/16/2012) This looks good.
“Engine runs good. Starts up right away. ( I was told the engine was rebuilt ) It moves under it’s own power, however, the brakes recently went out ( left rear cylinder bad )
It received a ‘quicky’ paint job by a previous owner. ( Rust has been repaired ) The interior has been re-done. It has a passenger ‘bench’ seat. ( rare option ? ) I’m told the truck originally came from Missouri.”
