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 on eBay
(01/27/2011) The ‘FC-170’ includes the rare Chevrolet C-10 Bed option.
“1957 Jeep FC 170 Forward Cab; 226Continental – 6 cylinder flathead; 3 Speed Transmission; 4 Wheel Drive; Truck was made only in 1957-1958. Rare Truck, only 600 were made!!! Mileage 58,025; Very low mileage; ALWAYS KEPT GARAGED, GOOD SOLID TRUCK! PRICE $18.500 obo”
I accidentally wandered across these unusual photos from the Timberlane’s thoughts blog. I’ve never seen a Civil Defense FC. Maybe someone out there knows more about it? I *think* this is in California, based on the front license plate. I have lightened all four shots. You can see the originals in the original post at the website.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000/each
(04/18/2010) “FC-170 IS THE MODEL NUMBER FOR THESE JEEP PICK-UPS. I HAVE TWO OF THEM AND THEY ARE BOTH IN USABLE SHAPE. LAST TIME THEY WERE DROVE IS IN 1987. THEY REALLY ARE A RARE FIOMD AND THEY ARE IN PRETTY GOOD CONDITION AS WELL. GIVE ME A CALL”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3995
(06/18/2010) I don’t see much rust.
“4 cycle overhead valve Rare Collectors item runs great.”
This is rare alirght, buy I think it is the paint job that makes it so rare; don’t seem many rainbow FCs!
“This is a rare find. A Jeep FC 150 from the 50’s. I believe it’s a 56 but similar measurements with the 57 cause confusion. As you can see by the photos, it’s in need of a total restoration. For the age, the body is in pretty good shape. The drivers side has a dent. The windshield is cracked. The engine is there but as I said, it needs a mechanic. The bed is in tact. I saw one small hole but other then that, it looks good. The color on the body appears to be original, multi-colored. I have seen other trucks like this one restored and they look really cool and different. There arn’t many of these around so who ever drives it around will get a lot of attention and questions!! If you are seriously interested, contact me with any questions and I’ll get right back to you. If your in need of more pics, I can do that too.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500
