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 $4000.
There might be some value here.
“One complete Jeep FC150 4×4 with trailer + additional FC170 cab, chassis, axles, spare engine, spare transmission, windscreens, windows etc. matching trailer made from rear end of FC150. Clear title. New tires 2 years ago with no use since. Good body condition especially cab corners with compound curved metal. Located in New Orleans. Great build project I cannot finish.”
UPDATE: This ad published in the Los Angeles Times, June 15, 1962, by the Alaskan Camper Factory, welcomed Dorothy and Louise back into the United States after their trip around the world in an FC-170 (with an Alaskan camper, of course).
===================
Originally Published October 06, 2012: Highways Across the Horizon was written by Dorothy Rogers, who previous wrote Jeopardy in the Jeep. I received a copy of it in the mail last week. I knew the book was about traveling through Asia, but there were two things I didn’t know. The first think I learned was that she and her travel partner Louise, traveled all the way around the world, starting and ending in New York. The second surprise was their vehicle of choice: a FC-170 with a camper. Craig confirmed today that Dorothy and Louise piloted only the third known FC to make it around the world. I can’t wait to read about their adventure.
Here are FC related pics:
It’s a rusty project.

“Hello Everyone. I’m posting my 57 Jeep FC for sale. I have way to many projects going on so I’m thinning the garage out. I really hate to sell it but it is neccessary and would really like it to go to a good home. I purchased it about a year ago or so. As you can tell it’s been out in the elements and has been treated pretty roughly unnecessarily. She is very rough but is at least a foundation for a build. I really liked what roam auto did with there FC. If you have a way with metal it is possible to fix the cab and even swap it to another frame. Here are the basics: 1957 Jeep FC 170 226 hurricane inline 6 No title! Bill of sale only. 6ft wide, bumper to bumper 15ft Let the pictures be the best description!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
Seller is taking the highest bid for this FC-170. He indicates the highest one is $7000 at this point. It does not run at the moment.
“It was a barn find and I am in way over my head and do not have the time or space for this project. Supposedly it ran and was driven to where it was parked in a shop and sat there since 2004. The engine does turn over but I do not want to actually try and start it with out flushing the tank and lines. I don’t know much about it except for it’s rare and it’s a Jeep. No major rust. Floors are still intact. It’s needs lots of love but is very solid. I just do not have time for it.
Offers are being entertained until Saturday the 15th. Current bids are up to $7,000. No low ballers or tire kickers. Serious buyers only.
4 cylinder engine
Looks like a newer transfer case”
Doesn’t run.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on a BAT auction.
This bring-a-trailer auction was spotted by Sam.
“This 1957 Willys Jeep Forward Control FC-150 was purchased in 1982 by the seller’s uncle and was acquired by the seller approximately six years ago. Power comes from a 134ci Hurricane inline-four paired with a three-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case, and the truck is finished in green and white over a green vinyl interior. Equipment includes locking front hubs along with a shovel, axe, and spare mounted to the side of the bed. Work performed under current ownership has consisted of a refresh of the brakes and carburetor, as well as a 12-volt electrical conversion and replacement of the tires and shocks. This FC-150 is now being offered at no reserve with an uninstalled replacement exhaust system and door panels, manufacturer’s literature, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.”
