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 $3795.
This certainly has some unusual features. I can’t say I’ve seen a roll bar quite like that either. There are no comments by the seller, other than the mileage of 276 miles.
This might be a great, relatively easy restoration project. It looks in very good shape for the price.

(03/23/2010) This looks like a great restoration project for someone not looking to do an entire project at once. Note the owner has a notebook with the original documentation about this.

UPDATE: This is back on eBay
(03/16/2010) Here’s a nice looking build with an engine and tranny update. It still needs some interior work.
“Rare find, 1959 Jeep FC-150. This is a stock appearing FC-150 that has the following modifications/improvements:
1. Chassis has been sandblasted and painted with POR15.
2. First engine was the wimpy 4 cylinder and I then changed it to a V6 Dauntless from a 1967 Jeepster after resealing and rebuilding all rotating components. Engine is fitted with headers and dual exhaust.
3. Transmission was changed from the 3 speed to a Turbo 400 automatic. There is no evidence inside the cab that it is an automatic. The shifter is the original and the pedals are all the same. The Brake and the Clutch pedal have been joined.
4. There is a new wiring harness and new instruments installed in crinkle finish dash. The interior is without headliner cardboard and doors do not have cardboard panels installed.
5. New windshield and rear glass, one door has new glass.
6. All NEW springs, not rebuilt. New Shocks, new Brakes. Front axle has disc brakes.
7. Body has NEW cab corners, NEW floors. The cab was plastic bead paint removed and spray weld to treat any traces of rust. There are no bondo patches anywhere.
No stories, I have had it long enough and I dislike interior work so I never finished the interior. It is quite powerful and runs like a bear. I have never had it off road in 10 years. My Son needs a car and my wife insists on airbags. I have over $15k in this at this point but it is time for it to go. There is no title as Vermont does not title vehicles over 15 years old. Sold on a bill of sale.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“This “Go-anywhere,” “Tough-job traction” truck is on the market here for the first time in over 20 years. Originally purchased from a glass co. in OHIO by the current owner. He has done a complete frame off restoration as you can plainly see in the photos. Introduced in 1957 the Jeep Willys FC-170 was wider and carried a heavier load than the FC-150. It has a Kaiser 6-226 motor inline 6 that is good on gas. You won’t get stuck with high/low option 4WD and LT235/85R16 tires.
The bed is made of appatong wood said to be 5 times harder than oak for those heavy loads. The truck has a 7,000 lb. GVW, a 103″ wheelbase with a 108″ bed. The Cab-over design is very unique. There were approximately 2,000 FC-170’s built in ’61. You will be guaranteed to be the hit of the car shows…”
