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 .

“You are looking at/bidding on a 1963 Jeep FC-150 in excellent condition. I am selling this for a very good friend of mine who is not exactly computer literate! Please feel free to ask any questions at all that you may have about the vehicle, and I will relay them in a timely manner.
He has owned this Jeep for over 25 years and has taken very good care of it. It was re-painted three years ago, and has been garage kept ever since. (Over $3k invested) (It’s been garage kept for almost 20 years) The seats were re-upholstered just last summer to the tune of $750. The only issue with the vehicle is that the speedometer stopped working in March. It has only been driven four or five times since then, and therefore the mileage on the odometer is only about 100 miles off.
-This model is the 4 cylinder (134 CI) 3 speed transmission with a 2 speed transfer case.
-It has a PTO driven 8,000 pound winch that is fully functional (Ramsey)
-Good windshield with no cracks or chips at all.
-The plumbing and undercarriage for a plow is on the Jeep, but no plow is included with the sale. (Previous owner plowed with it about 30 years ago)
-4 Brand new Hercules tires with less than 50 miles on them. (Purchased 3 weeks ago)
-Vehicle is 100% ready to turn key and go.”
It looks like there is some value here!

UPDATE: **SOLD** (04/24/2011) It has some dings and dents, but otherwise appears pretty solid.
“1957 Jeep FC150 Forward Control 4×4. Jeep has the F134 4cyl engine, runs great. Transmission is a T90 3 speed, shifts well, and clutch works fine. D18 transfer case, 4wd works like it should. The truck comes with a Western snow plow and mount. Windshield has a crack, but I have a good replacement windshield. Small amount of rust on the cab corners, and above the windshield, but nothing major as this truck has been in dry Colorado its whole life.
UPDATE: Check out the pics on thefcconnection site.
Steve reports on the Ouray 4th of July Festival. Learn more at the Forward Forum. See all the pictures here.
“Here is Craig and Jason’s big day in Ouray (You-ray), Colorado. It’s the mountain town’s signature event of the year, The Fourth Of July. They asked Craig to bring his restored San Juan Mountain Tour Truck to join in their parade.
Jason found one of the other original tour Jeep Forward Control trucks and surprised them with twins. He just finished the restoration just last week and headed strait for Ouray. Jason’s truck has the yellow signs that say, “Think.”
This links you to the Town’s website describing their 4th of July Festivities. Here are photos of the Two coolest FC trucks ever restored joining their parade. The red FC trucks came from the states of Missouri and Texas to join the reunion in Colorado. They even went on a trail ride across the old routes where the trucks carried tourists through the beautiful San Juan Mountains of Southern Colorado. What a cool experience; I wish I could have been there.”
UPDATE: This is back on eBay
(08/20/2010) It looks solid.
“1957 willys fc150. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT COMPLETELY RESTORED but it is a solid truck and strong runner. this truck is in excellent mechanical condition. Runs drives and stops, ( good brakes). Four wheel drive with lockout hubs and overdrive all works great. this is the best and the most complete fc i had ever owned, even the dome light works.
