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 .
Clear Texas Title.
226 Super Hurricane 6 cyl motor runs good. Electric fuel pump, Transmission shifts with no issues, transfer case shifts to 4 hi, 4 low, and back to 2wd, no issues. Engine and tranny, and tansfer case has some oil leaks. Rear brakes replaced, front brakes not. New tires at all 4 corners, radial but with “old days” tread. New Rugged Ridge locking hubs. It is a project in progress and will be a great project to finish. I am no longer retired and do not have the time to put into it. Been sitting in garage the past 2 years, except at Christmas when it was included in outdoor decoration.
“This 1957 Willys Jeep Forward Control FC-150 is powered by a 134ci Hurricane inline-four mated to a three-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case. The truck is said to have been refurbished by the prior owner over the course of the past two years, and it has been repainted in beige with a white top and grille. Replacement items include the radiator, fuel pump, exhaust, clutch, parking brake, leaf springs, tires, speedometer cluster, steering wheel, and windshield. A Solex carburetor has been installed, and the vehicle has been converted to a 12-volt electrical system with an alternator. Acquired by the selling dealer in spring 2020, this FC-150 is now offered at no reserve with invoices and receipts, spare parts, and a clean Florida title.”

This project began with a rusty FC-150 cab that was found in a field. It was paired with an equally rusty FC-150 bed. Coincidently, their colors matched pretty well. The owner decided it was not worth the money and time to repair the body and cab, so he went a different direction, creating a cocktail bar. Moreover, this contraption can travel as independent single units or be joined together and transported as a four-wheel rig thanks to some clever engineering!

Believe it or not this cab and bed came from two different vehicles. Most all of the body suffered from severe rust and would take quite a bit to repair. (The bed was found laying in a field)
The idea here was to build a full scale bar that can be easily moved around inside a building and even moved outside for parties. The only real modification to the sheetmetal was the removal of the bed floor which was toast already.
Independent jigs were built under each body part so they can be separated for easy movement. The bartender can serve from inside of the bed with the floor removed and the custom tool box on the right side will make the perfect serving counter. The original look was preserved and all lights function to give it a completely opperational look.
A receiver was also added to the front of the cab so it or the complete truck could be towed.
Here we are with the tow hitch installed for easy transportation. The receiver tubes on the bed can be used as shown above OR the Tongue can be removed and the receivers used to join the bed to the cab..
Blaine shared this Bring-A-Trailer auction for a nice looking FC-170. I love the old school washer bag hanging from the dash. I have an OEM foot actuated bag in Patterson, but don’t have pics at the moment; instead, here are pics of the Allstate washer bag that came with Patterson.
“This 1963 Jeep FC-170 is finished in two-tone red and white over beige vinyl and is powered by a 226ci Super Hurricane inline-six paired with a three-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case. The truck is equipped with a bed-mounted spare, a hydraulic plow frame, and a rear-mounted winch. The selling dealer acquired the truck in 2017, and service during their ownership included an oil change and replacement of the brake lines as well as the rear brake drums and hardware. This Kaiser-built Jeep Forward Control is now offered in Indiana with a clean Pennsylvania title.”
“1963 Jeep FC170 for sale.
Does not run, however I believe the timing chain has jumped a tooth and haven’t had the time to change it.
The engine is the standard straight 6 226 cu in Super Hurricane paired with the T90 transfer case.
Frame only has surface rust and is solid.
It has the hydraulic system that was used to operate a front mounted plow.”
“Here’s your chance to own a rare 1960 Jeep FC170.
I bought the FC170 ten years ago and have come to the realization that I don’t have time to get into a restoration project.
Before I bought it, I dropped in a battery and aux gas tank and it started and I drove it around a field. I was told it ran fine prior to being parked. I am assuming, as it is like a tractor, all the other mechanical parts and pieces work fine, but it is not road worthy as it sits.
This FC170 is a restoration project vehicle.
Everything is original.
Flatbed trailer necessary for shipping.”
“1962 fc150 completely restored drivetrain and frame. New springs brakes steering. Engine trans tcase all professionally rebuilt. Experienced a small engine fire. Needs wiring and the engine to be repainted. Lost interest.”
