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: **SOLD** Was $1850.
This looks to be an old FC Fire Jeep. There doesn’t appear to be any fire equipment with it.
“1964 Willys/Kaiser Jeep FC 170 DRW 1 ton truck this is a one in a million find at a fair price. I have too many projects and no time or money to complete them. My loss is your gain! This is a very rare and difficult vehicle to find with a clear title. It is not running but is ready to restore. MUST SELL $1850.00 O/BO”
UPDATE: The seller will start taking bids with the minimum bid being $7500.
“1957 Jeep FC 150. Foreward cab, 4 wheel drive pick up with low and high speed T90 transmission. 12 forward gears. Engine is 4 cylinder flathead and has not been started and is not stuck.
Bucket seats and original carpet. needs to be re-upholstered. Cab has small rust spots on rain gutter and windshields but no sign of rusted thru. A magnet did not reveal any bondo patches in body.
A Ramsey 10,000 lb PTO winch is mounted on the front with tow bar.
Speedometer reads 358 miles, apparently is 100,358. Seller has good title.
Tires hold air but are 20 years old. Paint is 20 years old but buffs up good except on rust spots. An installation of an after market over drive will allow legal highway speeds.”

You can read much more about this at sellajeep.com.
“This is a rare cab-over style Forward Control Jeep with a 2.3 liter F-head 4-cylinder engine, 3-speed T-90 manual transmission, and two-speed T-18 transfer case. I have a clear Texas title in my name. These unusual trucks draw a lot of attention.
The engine and transfer case have seen no use since being rebuilt and they are out of the vehicle, along with the gearbox. Radiator is rebuilt. This truck was sold new in the Phoenix, AZ area and remained there with the original owner’s family until I brought it to central Texas about five years ago, so body corrosion is minimal. Brakes are rebuilt with no miles on them. All window glass is good. Comes with new hoses, wiring harness, clutch, pressure plate, brakes, a spare set of doors, rear window glass, bare cylinder head, spare disassembled 3-speed gear box, vacuum brake servo, plus various extra pieces of trim, and small mechanical items….”
Brian spotted this. I figured I’d better post it right away.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
I suspect that if you invest $37,500 worth of work and parts this might just be worth $38,500 by the time it is done.
“I have a 1960 FC 150 Jeep for sale. It is a jeep pickup that was produced in the late 50’s and 60’s. FC stands for Forward Control due to the cab being placed over the front wheels. It had a small pickup bed on the back originally. There are FC clubs and forums for these fun rare trucks and a lot of aftermarket parts are available. I also purchased an old military dump bed that is shaped a lot like the original bed and it will be included with the truck along with a 12 volt hydraulic pump. I haven’t done anything with this truck since I purchased it other than storing it and getting a title, so I don’t know the condition of the drivetrain. I didn’t get a front or rear driveshaft with it so I never tried to make it run. The frame is a regular cj type frame other than the weight bolted into the rear for stability so cj driveshafts would work. 4 wheel drive with lockout hubs and a 134 4 cylinder engine.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
It’s been chopped, but runs and drives. Might make a good Tour FC replica . . .
“It runs and drives, missing the bed, doors, and I chopped off the rusted out cab cover. I have gone through the brakes and put a new clutch in it but the clutch it not releasing properly. Cool old truck but I have too much sitting around so it needs to go”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3495
Paint a little rough, but the looks pretty good. Might even include the wheel blocks.

There’s a little rust, but otherwise looks solid. Probably won’t take much to get it running I bet.
