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 .
Only a day left on this auction. The motor has been pulled.

(06/05/2009) “My Father is ready to sell his Eastern Washington 1959 FC-170 Jeep located in Chelan, WA. Introduced in 1957, FC-170 models had a 103 inches (2,616 mm) wheelbase with a 108 in (2,743.2 mm) bed. This model is significant as it was the first time the length of the payload box – 9 feet (2.7 m) with the tailgate up – exceeded the wheelbase of a truck. This was achieved by the forward cabin layout. The Jeep starts right up and is ready for you to take it home!”

If you can get this to fire up, it appears it would be a great price. Note that this was for sale back in August of 2008 on eBay. It’s not shown in the pics below, but there was some damage on the driver’s side. Also, the seller said the engine ‘runs’ at that time.
“Complete Jeep FC 170 with tons of extra parts. Has been stored for a number of years but was running when parked. Converted to a 302 Ford v8 engine and auto trans but comes with complete original running super hurricane I6 engine, 3 sp trans and transfer case. Has custom flat bed on it now but an original comes with it”
“Up for auction is a very rare Jeep Cabover, the body frame and interior are in very good condition. The engine is a “Flat Head” 6 cylinder that runs great ….no smoke. The Dump Body is a fully functional Electric Hydraulic system. Some body work has been done to the cab. The Dump body and cab have been painted recently. The doors are in great shape, the passenger door needs some adjustment. Driver and passenger seats are in great shape Mechanically the Jeep is very sound condition but will require some tinkering (TLC). Please review the pictures provided carefully ”
UPDATE: Craig reports the following: “ It died a terrible death on the side of the highway sometime back. An electrical fire totally destroyed it. I believe that it was not under its own power at the time. (Being towed or trailered).
Someone put some serious work in this. It was listed at $3500
“22 foot motorhome built on a 1957 Jeep FC-170 chassis. This it a very unique and cool rig. Has Chevy 350, 4×4, 8000lb warn winch, propane furnace, A/C, duel fuel Onan 3500 watt generator that automatically starts when battery gets low, electric leveling jacks, oven, 4 burner stove, gas/electric fridge with small freezer, water heater, and a bathroom. Can sleep six.”
Ok, I can’t resist … something’s fishy about this FC :-). Actually, it looks in good, unrestored condition. The paint job is certainly one-of-a-kind.
“This is one great little Jeep! I bought this on Ebay almost 3 years ago and it has no doubt been my favorite out of the 30+ Jeeps that I have owned in the past several years. It has the stock drivetrain, 134ci F-head 4 cylinder, t-90 3 speed, dana spicer model 18 transfer case and dana axles. The motor runs good no knocking, ticking or smoke. Original 6 volt system. 4 wheel drive works fine: high and low and front locking hubs. It has a warn winch with a good controller that was rigged to a battery and solenoid in the bed but I have never tried to operate it and the battery has been removed. It has a heavy duty custom front bumper and the rear bumper is a custom tube air tank with a guage and air hose hook up to fill your tires, beach toys or run tools. The tailgate opens and closes fine, windows go up and down and the doors shut very tightly. There are no rattles or loose parts on this Jeep, it is solid. The floorboards look like they have been patched with metal and there is a layer of outdoor carpet for insulation and rubber flooring over that. The heater works, horn works and all guages work. The seats are black vinyl, firm and in great shape except for a small hole in the back of the passenger seat. The inside floor of the bed is flakey around the bottom edges but there is no rust through anywhere on this Jeep. The frame of course has surface rust and maybe some pitting I guess you would say but is still very solid. The rear cab corners have had new metal replaced on them but it is a very solid repair as well. This is the first year these were made and it has the narrow track axles which I think make it look even more unique….”
