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: I suspect this was junked and the now a seller is selling the parts. http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/pts/1957602943.html

I was in the small town of Payette on Sunday and spotted this FC-150 just inside the fence of the TVM Salvage/Recyling Yard. It’s at the corner of 17th Ave N and N 3rd Street. Here’s their website http://www.tvmrecycling.com/ which shows the main office in Nampa.
UPDATE: Still Available

Don’t forget there’s an FC get-together in Olympia, Wa, this weekend. (here’s a pdf version you can download)
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3995
I can’t tell if there is rust around the edges or not.
“This is a 1962 Willys Jeep FC-150 4×4, with the original working snowplow. The F-head 4 cylinder engine starts and runs good, but burns some oil. It is in driveable condition and ready to be restored. Priced at just $3,995.”
Does this sport a camper shell design for FC’s? I don’t see many of those.
“step dad decided to let it go. fix it up or part it out.”

UPDATE: this is back on eBay
(07/30/2010) This poor FC is beat up!
“For sale is a 1958 Willys Jeep. This is a Forward Control FC170 Four Wheel Drive. Pretty unique vehicle. You don’t find these very often! There are some dents and some rust. Engine condition is unknown. Title has been applied for. It will be a clear MN title in my name. Email with any questions or call Ryan at 218-234-1866. Can help arrange reasonble shipping if needed.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was3500
(01/22/2010) It hasn’t been started in a while. It looks pretty solid.
“What we have here is a 1957 jeep fc150. It is a 4 cylinder manual transmission. It is complete, but I haven’t tried to start it since I got it. I am pretty sure that cleaning out the carb, putting some oil in the cylinders and fueling it up would do it. There are two places it is rusted through, a small spot under the passenger door and the bed, both easy to fix. Floor boards are solid, interior is complete. The sun has deteriorated the dash, easy to fix There are a number of surface rust spots, a little sandpaper and primer will take care of them. I don’t really want to sell, but I don’t have the time to work on it or a shop to put it in. The last one of these I saw on ebay was totally rusted out, missing parts and apart on a garage floor, the “buy it now” price was $5000. I have it priced at a reasonable $3500.”
