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.
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 II: Still Available. This has rust in the cab corners and a sprung drivers door. There also no mechanicals for the boom.
UPDATE: Dan found a photo of this FC from years ago:

Original post: I like the price! Thanks to Bill for sharing it.
“1957 Jeep Willys FC170 truck. Classic local patina is original!
6 cly flathead engine, 3spd transmission. Most parts are there but missing transfer case, PTO, and front hubs.
Truck has original vin plate.”
Now that is a good deal. Not rotted out and set up as a wrecker. Cool. Wish it was closer to me.
Golly, that is an awesome FC.
Ted Corder was in Susanville… sounds like they did a lot of cool work (http://che.stparchive.com/Archive/CHE/CHE01291949p02.php)
Here’s a picture of it in service: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/19/67/50/19675021b77ec3d814db426b6c33b247.jpg
Love that FC. If only it could talk!
Wow Dan. Great find on the pic. I will add that to the post. That could help someone if they wanted to restore it!

Good thing I am not looking for a cool FC. This one is almost in my back yard. If I am in Susanville this weekend I might try and get more pics.
I could be interested in the FC 170 but I see no price or contact information please help me at carysmcnutt@yahoo.com my number is 662-379-9183. Thank You
HI Cary,
The ad disappeared from Craigslist, so I don’t know if it sold or not. If I see it again I will send you an email.
