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 .

“FC150 for sale. No engine or transmission. Bought in December and came to the realization I’m just not going to have time to restore it. Removed the bed and started removing the cab (cut bolts to body mounts). Have tailgate, and some other miscellaneous parts for the bed but majority of the bed was rusted out. Have front windshield glass and some side glass for the cab. Purchased it end of last year and just don’t have time to finish it. No title”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
Looks like a good price.
Clear Texas Title.
226 Super Hurricane 6 cyl motor runs good. Electric fuel pump, Transmission shifts with no issues, transfer case shifts to 4 hi, 4 low, and back to 2wd, no issues. Engine and tranny, and tansfer case has some oil leaks. Rear brakes replaced, front brakes not. New tires at all 4 corners, radial but with “old days” tread. New Rugged Ridge locking hubs. It is a project in progress and will be a great project to finish. I am no longer retired and do not have the time to put into it. Been sitting in garage the past 2 years, except at Christmas when it was included in outdoor decoration.

A Solex carburetor has been installed, and the vehicle has been converted to a 12-volt electrical system with an alternator.

Craig shared the news that the FC-150 Mobile Cocktail Bar has been finished! You can view all the information and details on the build here: http://www.thefcconnection.com/fc-150_mobile_cocktail_bar.htm. Below are some highlights
This project began with a rusty FC-150 cab that was found in a field. It was paired with an equally rusty FC-150 bed. Coincidently, their colors matched pretty well. The owner decided it was not worth the money and time to repair the body and cab, so he went a different direction, creating a cocktail bar. Moreover, this contraption can travel as independent single units or be joined together and transported as a four-wheel rig thanks to some clever engineering!
The captions are from theFCConnection.
Believe it or not this cab and bed came from two different vehicles. Most all of the body suffered from severe rust and would take quite a bit to repair. (The bed was found laying in a field)
The idea here was to build a full scale bar that can be easily moved around inside a building and even moved outside for parties. The only real modification to the sheetmetal was the removal of the bed floor which was toast already.
Independent jigs were built under each body part so they can be separated for easy movement. The bartender can serve from inside of the bed with the floor removed and the custom tool box on the right side will make the perfect serving counter. The original look was preserved and all lights function to give it a completely opperational look.
A receiver was also added to the front of the cab so it or the complete truck could be towed.
Here we are with the tow hitch installed for easy transportation. The receiver tubes on the bed can be used as shown above OR the Tongue can be removed and the receivers used to join the bed to the cab..
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was auctioned for $17,500.
Blaine shared this Bring-A-Trailer auction for a nice looking FC-170. I love the old school washer bag hanging from the dash. I have an OEM foot actuated bag in Patterson, but don’t have pics at the moment; instead, here are pics of the Allstate washer bag that came with Patterson.

“This 1963 Jeep FC-170 is finished in two-tone red and white over beige vinyl and is powered by a 226ci Super Hurricane inline-six paired with a three-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case. The truck is equipped with a bed-mounted spare, a hydraulic plow frame, and a rear-mounted winch. The selling dealer acquired the truck in 2017, and service during their ownership included an oil change and replacement of the brake lines as well as the rear brake drums and hardware. This Kaiser-built Jeep Forward Control is now offered in Indiana with a clean Pennsylvania title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1750.
“1963 Jeep FC170 for sale.
Does not run, however I believe the timing chain has jumped a tooth and haven’t had the time to change it.
The engine is the standard straight 6 226 cu in Super Hurricane paired with the T90 transfer case.
Frame only has surface rust and is solid.
It has the hydraulic system that was used to operate a front mounted plow.”
