About eWillys
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.
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 .
I bought the truck for the bed and don’t need the rest. This is the wide track version not the narrow track. Solid cab corners and doors. Desirable set of lockouts. Now the bad, for some reason the last owner welded around where the top of the cab meets the bottom and welded straps on the body. Never seen anything like it. Not sure why they did it. I was told running when parked but if it was it was a long time ago.
If you know anything about FC’s you know finding a rust free cab with good doors isn’t the easiest thing to come across.
I have a ton of pictures, email me for them.
No title, $1,500 OBO Bring a trailer and cash.”
Kyle has a few parts from his FC-170 he wants to sell. He’s got a motor, a 4speed tranny, a bed, and an engine block. You can email him at kjb187@gmail.com if you are interested.
“1957 RARE WILLYS JEEP, RESTORATION STARTED BUT NEVER FINISHED DUE TO ILLNESS. THIS WILL BE A GREAT PROJECT TRUCK FOR THE JEEP ENTHUSIAST AND FUN TO DRIVE WHEN FINISHED.”
Here’s a dually FC-170, though it’s only running single tires in the rear at the moment.
“1964 Jeep Fc-170 For Sale! Well Maintained, Fully Restored! Vehicle Has Had Only Two Owners. Very Rare To Find. If Interested, Please Contact Lawrence At 734-752-8336.”
“Come check out this 1960 Jeep produced by Willy’s at AutoDrive, Inc! It runs and drives! It has been tuned and has new tires. It is a three speed manual, has a 9 foot bed and 4 wheel drive!”
Has thirty different grease fittings on the chassis.
Spare tire mounted on the right side of the bed is the original wheel design as the existing wheels are on the truck are late model aftermarket wheels. The spare tire is the original size tire used on the vehicle (7.00 x 16″). Four original stock factory wheels are also included in the purchase.
Brand new brake shoes, brake cylinders, brake springs and freshly ground brake drums. New emergency brake cables. New master brake cylinder. All new metal brake lines.
Gas tank was recently refurbished and resealed. Freshly rebuilt carb and fuel pump.
New radiator hoses and heater hoses. New points, condenser, plug wires, spark plugs.
All fluids (engine oil, oil filter, engine coolant, front and rear differentials, transfer case, transmission, oil bath air cleaner) recently changed.
Truck appears to have been in California all of its life as the title indicates that it was first registered in California. The body and truck bed are very solid though I noticed that the lower front and rear corners of the cab appear to have some surface rust or bubbles and the interior windshield frame has some rust where I think water or moisture may have gotten in around the windshield frame at some point in the vehicles life. The frame and under carriage as well as the fender well areas appear to be rust free as it appears that the truck was rust proofed or undercoated many years ago.
The truck was painted sometime ago as I can see indications of “Bell System Green” color under some spots.”

How about this great, rare ad from Willys of Canada.
