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 .

This poor forgotten FC!
“This is a Jeep M677 FC built for the USMC. Supposedly only 1000 of these were built and very few are still in existence. I am unsure of the year. It is not running but the front and rear diff does freely turn and appears to be all original but the engine is not. It appears to be an inline Ford 6 cylinder. Feel free to contact me with any questions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
(07/01/2017) It runs.
“Restoration project, rare cab-over Jeep. Motor runs good . . . included is new glass for passenger door (door and wing)”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
Does have significant rust.
“Willys Jeep FC150 pickup bed. Rusty. Has some good parts and could be used to fabricate a new one. Please make an offer.’
UPDATE: Was on eBay. Status Unknown.
Some custom work added some handy steps. The bed tilts.
“We have had our FC150 at the farm doing work since we purchased it 5 years ago. I once heard somebody describe the FC150 as a “Tractor with a cab and heater”! This is a very accurate statement! This Jeep truly goes anywhere! I have never had it stuck or even struggle thru our deep ravines and hills! But over the last year we haven’t used it as much as we use to and decided its time to sell.
The Jeep appears to have its original engine which runs great! It starts easily if you start it every day or two but if you leave it sit for a week or so then it takes a little primer (a shot of carb cleaner) to get it started. It shifts thru all four gears with no issues and idles well. A tune up was done about a year ago which consisted of new plugs, oil and carburetor rebuild. I also removed and cleaned the fuel tank and replace the fuel pump and filter. I am not sure what the top speed of the vehicle is but my guess would be 40 -45 mph. The 4 wheel drive works great! It has the lock out hubs but I have never switched them and assume they work.
All hydraulics work great! The pump is powered by a PTO which is activated by a hand pull. The winch works great( I have never been stuck but stretched the cable out and rewound it by pulling the jeep backwards). The snow plow moves up and down smoothly but I have never had a blade on it. And of course the custom diamond plate dump bed works awesome! I have loaded the back end full of red oak-drove out of the woods-backed up to my wood pile and dumped the entire contents with no problems!

UPDATE: **SOLD** for $6000 on eBay.
Desert Dogs on an FC. Probably never see that again!
“Engine – Hurricane 4 (out of 1961 Jeep)
3 speed manual transmission with low range
Vin # OH78015283
Navy blue – Black vinyl seats and trim
14,318 miles on odometer but true mileage unknown
I am selling my 1959 Jeep to make room in my garage for a boat. This is also my first sale on E-Bay so I have added links to videos of the truck in the description below. The Jeep has been restored and runs well. I have owned the vehicle since 1997 and it has spent most of the time in my heated garage when not driven. I purchased it from a neighbor who did the restoration for his wife who did not like it and would not drive it. The restoration took place between 1996 and 1997 and cost him over $10k at that time.
The major part was an almost new engine that was put in out of a 1961 Jeep CJ that only had 6,000 miles on it and that was used for snow plowing at a funeral parlor. This engine was purchased from Ray Galassi Jeep in Chicago, one of the original Jeep dealers. When you hear the engine you will know it’s in excellent shape. The body was repainted at the same time but is now showing some rust spots and paint peeling. Many parts were repaired or replaced in 1996. Continue reading

“I have a true virtually rust free survivor barn find Fc 170. These are super rare and almost impossible to find in this condition. Original paint, original Super Hurricane 6 cylinder engine. Perfect restoration candidate, or just take a little time to get it running and enjoy the patina it has. These are similar to the FC150 but a little larger and heavier duty.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
Looks in good shape.
“1962 Jeep FC-170 pickup. Runs and drives well. I bought it just a few weeks ago with plans for a major off-road build-up, but found another one at a better starting point for what I’m doing – this one is set up perfectly for someone who wants excellent bones for restoration that’s already a good driver. Frame is totally solid. Priced at what I bought it for. Just can’t afford to have more than one around right now.
Has the 226 cu in Super Hurricane engine with T90 transmission (3-speed on the floor) and D18 transfer case. In the last two years has had – replaced rims, tires, muffler, pistons, rings, radiator, plastic gas tank (original tank is included but has a leak if you want to restore), wheel cylinders for brakes, painted, vac wipers work! Side windows each have a crack, but they’re flat glass and very easy to replace. Windshield and rear window are good. Extra windshield included. Clear NJ title.”
UPDATE: I suspect this sold.
Dean is selling this FC: (The green one and the red FC one sold).
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
Doesn’t run.
“57 FC-150 JEEP/WILLYS
$4,000 (Negotiable)
No title. Bill of sale only. Previous owner was given this truck by his father who owned it for over 20 years as a farm truck. The title was lost.
Not running. Rough shape but a good project. No truck bed, gas tank or fenders. Transmission is a manual but is in pieces as the previous owner was going to rebuild it. Engine is in vehicle, hanging from a chain and board to keep it in position. This truck is mostly disassembled in boxes. Steering column has been removed but still connected to gear box. Heater box is still connected but not wired or hooked up. No glass in the truck but new rear glass is included.”
Doesn’t look like a ton of value is here.
“Jeep has an engine 4 wheel drive transfer case.”
https://bham.craigslist.org/pts/d/willys-jeep-parts/6140511039.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
Needs some work.
“V6 hurricane runs great and drives. Manual trans 3 spd with hi/lo lever. Original equipped PTO for dump. Needs interior work and minor body work, NOTHING structural.
Currently working on it. Price is firm now and will go up as work progresses.
Only 1546 made in 1959. Very few left and even fewer with original drivetrain.
Parts are easily obtainable since frame is same as Jeep CJ.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900.
(05/09/2017) No title and doesn’t run.
“Ran about 5 years ago, never registered it and I lost the registration for it but should be easy enough to get again. I’ve got a transferable registration from a 55 Willys if you feel like going that route.
It’s a 3spd manual 4×4 jeep fc170 with a hurricane strait 6 and plow. Has the normal wear and tear for an fc170, has some serious rust in the cab corners and drivers side door but other than that it’s a pretty strait and solid vehicle. Floor pans are pretty good, rockers and rain guards could use some attention. All glass is good, frame is spot on.”
