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 .

The seller explains that this is registered as a 1957, but is actually a 1962.
“For Sale 1957 Jeep Forward Control 3/4 ton Pick Up Truck Model FC170
This Jeep FC170 is currently licensed, insured and driven almost every day
Sale to be executed via “Bill of Sale” only as GA does not title vehicles this old. I will also provide the current registration which most states accept for non-titled vehicles (check with your state before bidding).
This truck was completely gone through to make it a safe and reliable daily driver. It is driven locally almost every day (driven over 2500 miles in 2 years). I have taken it on several trips of 100 miles or more and it is very reliable. It will only do about 50 mph so it’s not really an interstate cruiser. Overdrive could be added to gain another 5 mph for about $800 from “Herm The Overdrive Guy.”
THE GOOD (Mostly things done to make safe and reliable)
* New brake master cylinder
* New brake wheel cylinders (all 4 wheels)
* New brake shoes (all 4 wheels)
* New Brake drums (rear)
* Front brake drums were turned
* New front wheel bearings
* Replaced full-time 4WD hubs with Locking Hubs
* New steel and rubber brake lines (all)
* New exhaust, muffler and tailpipe
* New emergency brake cables (front and rear)
* New shocks
* New speedometer cable (speedometer was in-op when I purchased it but currently reads 14418…I’m certain it’s turned over)
* Added new Volts, Oil Pressure & Water Temp gauges
* New gas tank, sending unit, fuel line and skid plate
* New electric fuel pump
* New 1 wire alternator
* Fabricated new coolant surge tank
* New carburetor
* New Air Cleaner Assembly
* Engine tune up, plugs, points wires
* Added original style engine oil filter (they were optional)
* Rebuilt transmission and transfer case (still leaks urgh)
* All new u-joints
* New clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing
* New tail lights
* New ignition switch
* Door lock keys made by matching to tumblers
* Rebuilt heater box (has working 2 speed fan)
* Replaced vacuum wiper motor with electric
* Went through ALL wiring, everything now works as it should
* Refurbished steering column mounted turn signal device
* Added dash mounted signal indicator lights
* Added dash mounted cigarette lighter/power plug
* Replaced horn button, column wire and horns
* New dimmer switch
* Added back up lights and switch with dash indicator light
* Added GMC Safari Van Dual Sun-visors
* Added larger rear-view mirror
* Added retractable seat belts (both seats)
THE BAD
* Some rust (see pics) but nothing you’d be ashamed of from appearances (exception might be the bottom left side of the tailgate). The bed floor was rusty and was replaced with solid sheet steel by previous owner
* Engine runs and drives fine but is old and a bit tired, has a lifter tick but runs and runs like a sewing machine
* Windshield is not cracked but has wiper blade wear marks on passenger side and frosting at some edges
* Wing windows, rear cab windows, back glass and driver’s door glass all fine but passenger door glass has cracks but is usable and will roll up and down
OTHER FEATURES
* 10×15 aluminum wheels with newer tires (80%+ tread remaining)
* Original front bumper modified/fabricated for 8000 pound Warn Winch mounted on 2″ receiver hitch tray (can be removed and mounted on rear or trailer and it uses welder leads to plug into battery circuit)
* Fabricated Scout bumper for the rear with 2″ receiver hitch with 4 & 7 trailer light plugs
* Added tool box with lid lifting struts to the front of the bed
COMMENTS
This has been the most amazing vehicle I’ve ever owned. It gets more attention that any Muscle Car or 4WD vehicle I have ever owned or known. It’s not a trailer queen by any means but would be a great candidate for a total restoration (good bones and complete). Every-time I stop to go in a store there are people waiting for me to come out to ask “WHAT IS THAT?” I’ve had as many as 10 people waiting for me in the Lowes parking lot, even women who in my experience aren’t usually that interested. It doesn’t go real fast, 45-50 tops but it is very reliable. I would drive it anywhere if it weren’t for the speed and gas mileage isn’t that great either with low gears.
It’s registered as a 1957 because that’s what was on the Minnesota title said but Jeep Serial Number lists indicate it is actually a 1962.” Continue reading

One ton Chevy front and rear 4WD axles. Six new tires and aluminum wheels. New instruments. Many new parts and shelves full of the original parts. The bed is full of the original parts. The picture of the finished Jeep is what we were planning to build.”

Looks like a parts FC.
“This is a parts truck only! NO TITLE!! Lots of rust & rot. BUT!!! it is all there. 5 OEM wheels, engine, trans, transfer case, front and rear differentials, suspension, interior components, intact engine dog box with lids, battery box lid (working), spare tire carrier, parking lights, door handles, emblems, seat frames, head light doors, the drive shaft is bent but it’s there. Engine IS STUCK!!. The last time it was on the road was 1977. To bad about the glass (idiots), no bullet holes in body.
I bought this about 2 years ago hoping to find an FC to restore, no such luck. I could not bring myself to allow it to be crushed/scraped.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3750.

It is a project the 150 has rust corners are rusted out which is typical for these old trucks also above the windshield and in lower skins of doors. the 150 was running about a year ago drove around neigborhood i did start it about 3 months ago and ran the engine but did not drive it do to master cylnder leak causing no brakes i use to drive it around the neighbor hood until the master cylinder started to fail and thats why it was originally parked.

Andrew spotted this FC for sale. It was listed back in 2016. No description provided.
Does not include the bed.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
“Rare and definitely repairable bed with Fenders. Rust hole behind gas tank location & above rear Fender location. Includes
a repairable Tail gate as well. Winter is coming and I need the room. Bed and Tailgate have been sandblasted.
Cash in my hand is the only way it’s leaving my sight !! I will not take a Check drawn on a North Korean Bank or any other
scam somebody dreams up.”
I can’t tell if the body is still around or not. The last photo looks a little dated, so I’m guessing this is what one of the chassis’s looked liked before the cab was removed.
“59 Jeep FC150, 4 cyl, 4×4, 2 rolling chassis, both will run, body work needed.”

This one is rough.
“Barn Find Kaiser – Jeep FC-150. Very rare early model with 3-speed transmission. As you can see in the pictures, the sheet metal is very rusty. Frame and running gear look solid. The Jeep is pretty much complete … I have the fenders, engine cover, headlight bezel and driver window frame. Engine, transmission and front and rear axles are there. Probably best for parts …. the VIN tag has been damaged by rust. No Title. Well worth the starting bid in parts alone.”
