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 .
Don’t forget there’s an FC get-together in Olympia, Wa, this weekend. (here’s a pdf version you can download)
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3995
I can’t tell if there is rust around the edges or not.
“This is a 1962 Willys Jeep FC-150 4×4, with the original working snowplow. The F-head 4 cylinder engine starts and runs good, but burns some oil. It is in driveable condition and ready to be restored. Priced at just $3,995.”
Does this sport a camper shell design for FC’s? I don’t see many of those.
“step dad decided to let it go. fix it up or part it out.”

UPDATE: this is back on eBay
(07/30/2010) This poor FC is beat up!
“For sale is a 1958 Willys Jeep. This is a Forward Control FC170 Four Wheel Drive. Pretty unique vehicle. You don’t find these very often! There are some dents and some rust. Engine condition is unknown. Title has been applied for. It will be a clear MN title in my name. Email with any questions or call Ryan at 218-234-1866. Can help arrange reasonble shipping if needed.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was3500
(01/22/2010) It hasn’t been started in a while. It looks pretty solid.
“What we have here is a 1957 jeep fc150. It is a 4 cylinder manual transmission. It is complete, but I haven’t tried to start it since I got it. I am pretty sure that cleaning out the carb, putting some oil in the cylinders and fueling it up would do it. There are two places it is rusted through, a small spot under the passenger door and the bed, both easy to fix. Floor boards are solid, interior is complete. The sun has deteriorated the dash, easy to fix There are a number of surface rust spots, a little sandpaper and primer will take care of them. I don’t really want to sell, but I don’t have the time to work on it or a shop to put it in. The last one of these I saw on ebay was totally rusted out, missing parts and apart on a garage floor, the “buy it now” price was $5000. I have it priced at a reasonable $3500.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is rough, but it has both a PTO Winch and Newgren Hitch.
“You are bidding on a early model Jeep FC 150 parts truck that has a Newgren Company 3 pt. hitch. Model #BL 4770. The truck also has a Ramsey bed mounted PTO Winch set up with the pto and lever still installed, including chains to the sprockets. The truck had this rare combination installed when bought and was used on a farm. At one point the Jeep had motor trouble, and the truck was left sitting. The Newgren hitch is still installed and the truck would work great as a “library vehicle” to see how to install it onto your Willys CJ2A, CJ3, FC150, FC170 ,or CJ3B. The hitch is in rough condition, but the basic parts are there to use, refurbish, or use as a pattern. The original hydraulic ram and pump were were not installed on the truck when I purchased the Jeep. You can use a 12 volt pump and ram from Northern Tool, Grainger, etc. to power the hitch or look for an original. Some folks have also used the snow plow hydraulic pumps from Willys vehicles that are a little more common.
Please look at the photos carefully (the red cj2a is NOT INCLUDED!) You are getting a good starting point for an ultra rare 3 pt. hitch setup for a Willys Jeep. The condition is such that you will need to rebuild, refurbish, and add/replace parts. You also get a pto winch with the attachments to bed mount it, the pto attached to the transfer case and the control lever. The rest of the truck is included, but would only be good for some parts. The truck is rolling on its own and I can help load on a trailer.
To aid you with restoration, FARMJEEP>COM has an extensive write up on the restoration, installation, and additional parts sourcing of a very similar hitch. Please look at theses pictures closely. The condition requires work, but could add remendous value to your Willys or Jeep when installed and refurbished. Still has the original Newgren Comapny tag.”
I can’t tell if this runs or not.
“Cab and chassis, lots of original parts; head lights, glass turning signals, everything inside is original. Gas tank is in good shape. Original engine and all parts are available. Great for a big project or parts car. $750 or best offer. Please call or email for more information, 802.353.5617.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
“1962 Jeep FC-170. This is a bone stock truck with the exception of the wheels and tires. Has had alot of work done to bring it back from the dead, runs and drives as well as an old jeep would. 226 Super Hurricane flathead 6 engine, T90 3 speed trans, T18 Transfer case. Since owning this I have cleaned and flushed the fuel system, rebuilt carb, rebuilt the rear brakes with all new parts, including new model backing plates to be able to move the E-brake to the wheels instead of the drum behind the transfer case. Brake is still on transfer case, this was done for later powertrain upgrade. Read diff has had the posi unit rebuilt with OEM clutches, and new axle bearings. Front wheel cylinders are replaced and a new master cylinder. New water pump and clutch. I hate to let this go, I was looking forward to putting in a modern powertain and having a completely unique truck to use, but priorities have changed.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown
Here is a beautiful FC for sale spotted in remote Enterprise OR by David.
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was on eBay
“Up for auction is the very collectible 1962 Jeep FC-150. It comes with the 4 cylinder hurricane engine and a manual transmission. This 4X4 is complete with a Western plow which is hydraulic up and down. The truck does not run at this time. It has been in barn storage the last 5-6 years and was a running working truck prior to being stored. I put an older battery in for testing, but the starter just whined and did not engage so the the battery connection was too weak or the solenoid may need replacement. As you can see in the pics it is rusty and the glass has cracks/chips. It has an electric fuel pump. the gas line has been disconnected. No brakes, clutch pedal feels OK. I did not check lights. Plow pump will keep the blade raised but I could not move the plow up and down since it didn’t run. The undercarriage looks pretty good. It might be too much work to bring back to original, but might make a good lot plow or farm truck. The previous owner assured me it was a good running truck but I had little time to spend with it. Radiator is properly filled and the truck seems stock and relatively complete. I do have the engine cover, but it was shown in the pics.”
