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 $1000
There’s some value and some rust.
“Forward control V-6. Clear title, tags expired in 1996.”

(11/02/2011) This does not run.
“1958 Jeep pick-up, comes with plow, 4 cylinder, manual trans. I have title and am selling it for a friend. Does not run but motor turns by hand, interior is gutted, seats and windows are in back of truck. It has a dump box and new exhaust. 1st one who comes up with $2000.00 takes it away.

UPDATE: ***sold*** was listed at $300. It sold quickly.
This ran just fine when the seller parked in eight years ago. It looks like a great price a parts FC. Unclear why the name “Patricia Cardran” is included in the picture.
“they made to models of these the FC-150 and FC-170 not real sure witch one it is. It is 4×4 and it will go anywhere when locked in. it has manual trans, 6cly flathead, we used it for hauling fire wood and it’ll hold around 2 cords of firewood. it has a large wooden bed on it that the boards are gonna need replaced. It will need work it would be a great restore project cause the parts are pretty cheap, last time I looked at a rebuild kit for the motor it was around 150.00. it ran just fine when I parked it about 8 years ago. I do have the title for it also if you have any question call or text me at 240-522-two87one NO EMAILS”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
To me this looks pretty restorable. I do wish Forster-Stewart Lumber had developed a nicer logo though. It does not have a title.

(05/10/2012) “1957 Willys Jeep , 4 wheel drive Front Forward Control
UPDATE 2: We are certain this was a scam. Contrary to what the ‘seller’ reports, no LoJack activation has never occurred on a Willys in AZ.
UPDATE: Thanks to Craig for managing to get a response. The seller claims these are sold. And, thanks especially to Jesse for his detailed analysis on this. In between tearing down my parent’s rotten deck and getting ready to build a new one I’ve been following the comments on this ad/scam/?? with interest.
“I have two modernized like new except for paint m677 FC Kaiser Jeeps with 4 door crew cabs, full skid plates, new motors, new drive train, or professionally rebuilt. Modern features like PS, PB, AC, locker Eaton Rear end. One is Gasoline powered Chevrolet LT-1 350 the other is a 6 cyl heavy duty diesel. To much to mention. $65,000 takes both and plenty of original parts. I had the custom paint jobs blasted off when the company who contracted their build at a cost of over $100,000 defaulted and we repo’ed these.. Both have new interior, AC, 24 12 and 120 volt power. Both have heavy duty winches, and one comes with a PTO winch and hydrostatic plow drive als all hoses drive lines etc. They run and drive great. Suspension is all new and engineered for the load of the new running gear. Running gear was regeared to maximize the HP torque and RPMs of the power plant(s). Paint is all these lack. They are in a climate controlled storage. Look up this model on Google. These are primer gray and all they need is a final paint job. These are rare, and unheard of in this condition. Email for a viewing time and location, as well as questions and a an extensive list of original spare parts, engines, transfer cases, glass, etc. One mor could be made original from spare frame body parts engine X fer case front and rear end etc. Zero rust. Interiors are new Taurus Burgundy colored vinyl seats. New tires, new heavy duty brakes. These cost almost $130K to build. They were meant to service cell towers in remote locations. The buyer skipped town. They had LOJACK and I went and got them back. Too many upgrades and options to list. The gasoline model is more of a toy as the engine is high compression high horsepower. They have dual 24 and 12 volt electrical, all new rubber body gaskets, no leaks. They are in line in a storage unit, and photos will be difficult. After I take them out to allow a test dive photos will be available. These were driven every 4-6 weeks to keep seals from leaking and fluids changed every 3 months regardless of use. We are using Mobile One with extra filters engine oil coolers, A two regeared 2 speed overdrive was added between the 4 speed tranny and transfer case for 16 forward gears 2 reverse. All computer modeled to avoid clearance issues, binding ill fitting parts etc. Enough parts are on hand to make these original again too. THe Cat Diesel is the true work truck. I got 27 MPG with it HWY. $35K each $65K takes everything. Parts are available with further negotiation on one truck. Both trucks you get extra frames, cabs, mounts, etc. These are very very nice inside. Dunbar did all new springs and an airbag ride was installed. Email with a number for serious buyers ONLY> This will be listed in other locations I am willing to deliver to.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.
“FC170 for sale. Gone through, complete restoration. In Montana, available to be seen there or shipped anywhere. V. Good condition, any questions please ask. Many many more photos on request.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1795

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“Well I’m sure no expert on Jeeps, but I aquired this 1960 FC-150 from a 82 year old farmer. This is what I call a true “Barn find” It has been stashed away in an old barn for over 20 years. It has all the typical rust in all the typical spots.
This was a running and driving jeep when he last parked it into storage. He had planned to put his portable welder in the back, but never got that far. He lost the title so I can only give you a bill of sale.
With the exception of a sunroof, and a missing radio, I would say that this FC-150 is almost 100% complete and original.
This would make a nifty restoration project, or perhaps A good a parts vehicle. I have no doubts that someone more mechanical than myself could have it running again in fairly short order?
This jeep is old and ugly but it has just around 63,000 original miles on it. The engine/transmission,differentials, etc. are all original. I have turned the engine over by hand and it’s free.
This jeep is over 52 years old, and I I am selling it as is.
I would much rather you plan for the worst, and hope for the best than be dissapointed in any way. And remember… no title.”
