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 .

These are all original photographs purchased from the “HEAD PHOTOGRAPHER FOR TWIN COACH BUS COMPANY AND THE WILLYS JEEP FIRM IN TOLEDO OHIO ALL PHOTOGRAPHS WERE TAKEN BY HER WHILE WORKING FOR THESE COMPANIES”
Route 60 runs between Apache Junction and Globe Arizona. After taking the time to ponder the exact location of Canyon inn on highway 60 if it still existed today, I came up empty. Anyone know where they Canyon Inn might be or have been?
The green FC-170 appears in two Canyon Inn postcards, leading me to conclude it was a regular fixture there for a while. Note the colorful wagon in the first postcard.
1) “VINTAGE ARIZONA, USA POSTCARD
Canyon Inn on Route 60, Salt River Canyon, Arizona.
This pic would have been taken n late ’50s, with Mercury wagon being newest of the lot. Neat Jeep FC, a couple of old Chevys and another Jeep, a station wagon.
Size is standard: 5.5×3.5 inches.
Card was not mailed
Condition is excellent: C-9 with a couple of tiny edge dings only.”
2) “Vintage Divided postcard of CANYON INN, SCENIC SALT RIVER CANYON ON US HIGHWAY 60, AZ. Published by NORMS PUBLISHING HOUSE, TEMPE, AZ. The postcard was never postally used. There is no correspondence on the back of postcard.”
The inside of this looks very nice. I think the outside might look better than the pics show.
“1957 Jeep FC150
This is an outstanding example of the rare Willys Jeep FC150.
Willys build only a few of these between 1957 and 1961 and this is a good one.
It runs and drives well and looks good.
Everything has been gone over and renewed as needed.
Engine fully rebuilt by a professional classic engine builder.
No rust problems on body as car came from the dry west.
Was painted 4 years ago to a standard Jeep red color and trim.
Interior is clean and standard.
Body is in excellent shape.
Not a high speed vehicle, has 5.33/1 differentials front and rear.
This truck will win its class in most car shows, it is very rare and will likely be the only car in the class.”
This appears to be a good price. The pics are small.
“It’s hard to even write this add. Six years ago my son and I rebuilt this Jeep with our own bare hands from the ground up. The motor, transmission and transfer case were rebuilt professionally, so no worries there. Most if not all bolts and nuts are new and stainless steel. It has the original L134 engine, original 3 speed transmission and dual stick transfer case. I also added a Warn Overdrive that was rebuilt by Herm the Overdrive Guy in Battleground Wa. The rear end is an offset Dana 44 with a locker, and the front end is I believe a model 27 which is stock. It has new Warn hubs as well. It has new 31 x 10.5 x 15” tires, with Ford Bronco wheels with beauty rings. Body work and paint was accomplished by my son and I, so it’s not a Barrett Jackson restoration but a great little rig. She’s hauled several elk out of the woods for us and also picked up beer and bread. She is an all around great rig. It does not have a top but I made a bikini top for it just to keep the rain and snow off of us when hunting. Otherwise, she’s topless. I have a pile of receipts and months of work into this rig. You can go buy a Yamaha Rhino but you can’t go to town in it, plus you’ll pay double of what I’m asking. I’m sure I’ve left out a few things. Oh, and it’s registered for life as a collector plate. Clean, clear title. The original color was “Pasture Green”. Thanks for looking and a good day to you all. $6,000
This jeep is a former Forest Service vehicle that was never registered. It might make an interesting project.
