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 .
I’m not sure how many parts are included?

“This 1957 Jeep FC-170 (as is) for parts or restoration. No paperwork – No Title. 6 Cylinder, Standard Shift. $1500 of Best Offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $9000.
(06/10/2021) None of them run.
“For sale are 3 1959 Jeep FC170’s. All flatbed configuration. 2 vehicles are complete, the third is currently off frame as a restoration project. 2 titles are currently in hand, we are working on retrieving the third. Overall condition of the 3 is fair. Will need some TLC to get the 2 complete units to get running, they have been sitting for quite a few years. They were collected with the intension of full restorations, and as such, there are several new parts and additions available with the purchase of the vehicles. Figuring $9000 for the lot of parts and the 3 vehicles.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $399.

“I bought this FC bed out in western Nebraska with the intent of using it behind a cj10 cab.
That project changed hands and directions several times, and now I have an FC bed with no home for it.
I do consider chopping it to make it a different size for some other Jeep based pickup project.
But if someone needs it for an actual FC, that would be best.
It’s not pristine, so modifying it wouldn’t be a huge sin. But it’s solid enough that a real enthusiast might want or need it. Not many folks can say they’ve ever owned any forward control Jeep parts at all, so maybe you want it for bragging rights or to build a trailer for your flatfender.
I paid 500 several years ago, so I guess we can start there. Just my luck it’ll be worth 3000 and I still let it go for 500…”
Runs and drives.

UPDATE: Here’s an article published December 27, 1958, by the Honolulu Advertiser which tells the story of Henry’s gift to his wife.
Local writer William Drury poked fun at the Kaisers for their pink obsession in this May 31, 1961, column in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin:
======================
Originally Published December 24, 2016: In 1958, Henry Kaiser gave his wife Ale a pink FC-170 for Christmas. I tried to find some additional information or photos, but didn’t have any luck.

A lover of pink, Henry Kaiser also had a colorful boat:

“1962 Jeep Willys FC170 up for sale.
Jeep Collectors and Enthusiasts, this could be your once in a life time chance to own a very rare Jeep truck. The FC170 (and FC150) forward control (over cab) Jeeps were made between 1957 to 1964 they were used for everything any ¾ or 1 ton trucks were used for. I am told Its built on a Jeep CJ6 frame.

This may be Chicago Fire Jeep #757, which was converted into a hydrant thawing FC in 1978. As you can in the pics on the 3B page, it’s got the similar fenders and bumper.

It’s a project, but the body looks pretty good.
“Located Sparks, Nevada. Willing to work with shipper if needed No motor/trans. Body is in pretty good shape besides the one spot where the gas tank sits in last picture. Have I believe most of the parts. Gas tank, Dash with gauges, handles ext. missing side door glass and back glass. It is all flat glass so should be easy to have a glass shop cut it.”
