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 .
(03/24/2022) David shared this FC with an Alaskan camper. At first I thought this could be the FC/ camper combo that was driven around the world by Dorothy Rogers and Louis Ostberg, but the FC below appears to have a utility bed under the camper.

Greg’s selling this FC-170. It includes a set of Husky-manufactured Allstate-branded hubs. You can contact Greg at 217 417 1246.
“The remnants of lettering on the driver’s door indicate that this particular truck belonged to a bricklayer early in its life. I assume that the bricklayer bought this truck with the intent of installing the flat bed because adding the flat bed to the factory overload springs in the rear would have been ideal for hauling building materials. It also appears that they improved the roadability of this truck by replacing the original 4.88:1 gears in the axles with 4.27:1 gears that were available many years ago but have since been discontinued. Jeep enthusiasts agree that is why this truck has so many miles on it while other FC’s did not.
The manual locking hubs in this vehicle were obtained from Sears & Roebuck, which sold automobile parts in their catalogs from sometime in the 1950’s into the 1970’s.
In poking around the truck some, I have determined that it wore red and white paint at one point in time. Otherwise, it seems that a youngster got ahold of this truck, did an extremely poor job of installing a 4-inch lift kit, and promptly took this truck off-roading where they ran it up onto something. Whoever this was did an equally poor job of trying to replace the radiator and an even worse job of fixing the broken steering.
I have since replaced the sector shaft, pitman arm, drag link and bellcrank with the later, upgraded versions which I obtained from Harry and Jo at Midwest Willys. I also installed the shift plate underneath the cab while I had the shifter assembly out for new rubber bushings.
The truck does not run at this time. However, I have pulled in a new wiring harness from Walcks that I never finished installing. I still have the instructions for this harness and they will be included.
The truck is an ugly survivor with a broken rear window. All of the other glass is good and I put some used tires on it during the summer of 2021 as the old bias-ply tires finally gave up.
I hate to see it go, but, life seems to be taking a turn and I do not think I can give it the time, effort and attention that it deserves.
I am asking $3,500.00 and that is a firm price for an old beast that comes with a title.”
“1959 FC 170 flatbed Jeep truck. I have a clean title for the truck, the truck runs but needs a fuel pump and new wiring. Truck does run and I have drove it. It could use plug wires and points but it doesn’t knock or have and internal noise. Has a new radiator core. $3000 and does not come with original wheels. I have other wheels that I can put on the truck. If you want the original wheels then the price is $3700 because original 16 inch Jeep wheels are hard to come by in good condition and these wheels are nice.I have videos of the truck on my YouTube channel Red Clay Traveler if you want to see it running. If you buy both the FC 170 and the FC 150 I have for sale then the price is 5000 for both trucks.”
“1957 FC 150 cab over Jeep Truck. $6000 obo. Truck runs and will need a radiator core replacement or a new radiator. The truck is complete and even has the counter weight still under the bed. This is the first year production of the FC 150 and is a narrow track model. Extremely rare truck with a good windshield still in it, which is very hard to find. It’s the deluxe cab and has the extra windows in the cab. Truck has tons of bondo but has a solid frame! The truck is complete and the only thing I’m keeping are the original wheels, but I have another set to put on it. I have a couple videos showing it on my YouTube channel if you want to see it run and a better look. Channel is called Red Clay Traveler”
“RARE WILLYS FC 170 DUAL REAR WHEEL. CHASSIS REBUILT TO INCLUDE DIFFERENTIALS, BRAKES, DRUMS, TIRES AND WHEELS. THE FRAME AND DRIVELINE HAVE BEEN SANDBLASTED AND PAINTED. CLEAR MARYLAND TITLE WITH VIN PLATE. MANY PARTS TO INCLUDE 2 SETS OF DOORS, SEATS, 2 PARTIAL CABS, TRANSMISSIONS, DIFFERENTIALS, FRONT BUMPER, WINDSHIELD, ENGINES, FLAT BED BODY. $7800. OBO”
“I have a 1950’s Jeep COE for sale short bed 4WD! These Jeep’s are very hard to come by. As you can see from the pics it’s got a lot of rot in the body. This is not a project for the average person. This was suppose to be one of the show cases for my business but plans have changed. Yes, I have had this Jeep listed for sale several other times.. I am selling so I can move on to the next project.
I do not have a title & the vin tag that was mounted to the floor is missing from the rusted pans. I have a bill of sale. There is a vin number on the frame. Motor turns over with a ratchet & starter is good. Bed is solid, frame is solid… everything is there besides the floors lol. Please do not hit me up for trades, low ball prices, & “is this available” if the ad is still up it’s still available. I’m in no hurry to sell if that’s the case”
Engine is frozen. This project may be worth a look.
“Here is a very rare cab over jeep for sale, this has been sitting for 30+ years. Engine is locked up and transmission will probably need work too. There is rust but considering how long it’s been in the elements it’s not too bad. THIS IS A PROJECT”
“You don’t see these much 1960 jeep FC 170 is rusty but has good bones engine is locked up so will be a project does have title located in Harlan Iowa I don’t have to sell but have some projects ahead of it so thought I’d throw it out there”

“Testing the waters on a fairly clean FC. No obvious rust up top or underneath. A decent custom interior. It’s missing a title, and I can’t find the VIN plate. Doesn’t run; WW2 Jeep motor seems stuck”
