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** No price was listed.
This looks beautiful. I searched for other Willys on oldcaronline.com, but the others appear very overpriced to me.
Here are several original FC-170 brochures at a good price.
“ORIGINAL SHOWROOM FOLDOUT provides PICTURES, FEATURES, SPECS and MORE on this unusual 4-Wheel Drive JEEP. In EXCELLENT CONDITION.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This brochure was designed as mailer to promote the TV Show Maverick with James Garner as a joint advertising venture. This is 8.5 x 5.5 folded , 8.5 x 11 unfolded.
Here’s a cool photo of a FC-150 Tow Truck at work on a race track, though the FC doesn’t take up much of the image. I’ve made the FC portion a little bigger in the photo below.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
The bidding is no reserve and starts at $2950. It runs and drives. Seller can deliver.
“1960 Jeep Forward Control Pickup. Pickup has a Rebuilt Engine and Transmission…New Brakes…New Tires. Runs and Drives Great. Body has mostly surface rust, and is Solid. The dashboard has some rust thru. Driver’s window has a crack in it. Theses trucks are getting rare, and I hate to sell it, but I have certain obligations. The truck is in Northwestern Wisconsin, but I can deliver it almost anywhere for a fee, (Email for a free quote).”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This needs assembly (drivetrain removed) and some work.
“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 (in other words, the truck is not drivable as is). Radiator is rebuilt. This truck was sold new in the Phoenix, AZ area and remained there with the original owner’s family (they owned the Jeep dealership) until I brought it to central Texas nearly six 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, an alternator with conversion kit brackets, and the following extra items: a pair of doors in good condition, rear window glass, a bare cylinder head, an extra disassembled 3-speed gear box, vacuum brake servo, extra rebuilt generators, an extra starter motor, and various extra pieces of trim and small mechanical items. (more info on eBay)”
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **Status Unknown**
This sure looks good.

I’ve never seen diamond plating used to accent an FC quite like this. Lots of large pics on eBay.

Craig forwarded this picture of a St. Bernard that is about the size of an FC!
David sent this image showing the delivery of the first FC-150 to South Dakota. He was wondering if anyone recognized the dealership?
