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 boxy forward control must have been built in Europe? I found a picture of an orange one below the ebay photo.

This one might be for sale: http://www.tutti.ch/ticino/veicoli/veicoli-commerciali/offerte/jeep-zanzi_5606153.htm
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Seller is parting out this FC.
“WILLYS JEEP FC 170 Wiper Transmission
Mark’s son Tom Smith has just authored a great article at jeeptruck.com about the Hoptown Pizza story. You can read it here:
http://jeeptruckstories.blogspot.com/2015/02/hopping-along-in-fc-dream.html
You might remember when I published a brief story about the owners last October when my wife happened upon them at a farmers market. At the time they thought their truck was cute, but didn’t realize it was called an FC Jeep. So my wife, now being an FC ‘expert’, explained what they owned. I do love my wife!
BTW, Ann says their pizza was great. As part of an email exchange I suggested they try to make it to the FC Roundup this year.
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $5000.
Needs some brake work, but looks solid in the pic.
“Wanting to sell my 1962 willys fc150 truck. Has the hurricane 4 cylinder will run but needs brake work and tires been setting for several years inside. ”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $33,000
This M-677 has been crossed with a 2006 Mitsubishi truck chassis.
“You are looking at a One of a kind 1964 Jeep setting on a 2006 Mitsubishi chassis with a 4 cylinder Turbo engine with 16,000 original miles and automatic transmission!!Yep, you read that right!! This is a 1964 Jeep, forward control M-677 Truck……she is sitting on a super straight frame that can be easily stretched. It is set up to haul a 5th wheel with its 8 foot western hauler bed, has an electric wench on the front, Tilt cab, cruise control, tilt wheel, ice cold air, a stereo system and even has reclining seats!!
The original Mitsubishi instruments and wiring were used during the construction. It was then taken to the local Mitsubishi dealer and checked to make sure everything was like it was supposed to be. It is titled as a 64 Jeep so the taxes and registration are a lot less than a 2006 Mitsubishi. She can do it all!! We are selling this vehicle for a customer who custom built this beauty. He informs me that he had close to $45,000 in the truck when he finished it. It would be a super truck to put a roll back bed, or a ramp car hauler bed on. You will certainly not meet yourself at a traffic light. I will consider a serious offer or an interesting trade. Give me a call so we can talk about how we can make my truck yours.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6900.
This Fire truck looks to be Jim Dobson’s FC. In the newest ad, there have been firetrucks from Dobson’s Antique Toy and Firehouse Museum that are now for sale. You might have remembered our visit to the museum in 2013.

Seller thinks that tailgate will fit on a FC-170, but it would require some bending I think.
“Selling a pair of bed fenders and tailgate off a 1959 Jeep Fc 170. Should fit all years of FC-170’s and Fc-150’s. May fit Willys Pickup also. Fenders and tail gate are in great condition, no rust, fresh paint. You wont find any better then this! Cash only NO TRADES!!!”

It runs, but needs work.

“fc150 narrow track needs windshield and brake work mostly complete low rust bill of sale only”
George spotted this video. It shows that FC-170 from SEMA racing down the road on its tracks. Nice interior shots of it.
UPDATE: This is back on eBay.
This is a couple hours from me.
“I found this sitting in a field here locally in Enterprise very good shape for sitting outside for so long but is by no means a perfect 10 . This would be a good base for a restoration project or just a good all purpose work vehicle around the farm or ranch or whatever. I have got the unit sitting at a local shop where it is currently awaiting some repairs, work done so far rebuilt carb, fuel filter, oil change, new spark plugs, distributor repair, is awaiting front brake repair for they are alittle sticky. I have driven this but it will be a lot better when the brakes get repaired. It had some bad fuel in it and while most of it was drained it does run alittle rough but I feel as more good gasoline is added it will smooth out . It currently does not shift into third but am working to trace this problem out but it may not all get done by the time this auction is over. This jeep does put a smile on your face to drive just because its a great ol’ classic and you just do not see many of these that much anymore. I do have the title for it and it is clean.”

UPDATE: **SOLD**
It doesn’t run.
“Well I’m sure no expert on Jeeps, but a guy I know, has had this FC-170 in a barn for the last 20 years, or so.
I ended up with it in a trade.
This is what I would call a “Barn Find”.
Here is what I know….
It belonged to a fire dept. in the mountains here in Colorado.
I believe the 66,147 miles are actual.
It was taken out of service waiting for a muffler system.
This jeep is filthy dirty, and just how I received it.
I have spun the engine by hand, and it “Turns free”.
Yesterday I noticed an FC commercial making the rounds on Facebook, one I hadn’t previously seen. It turned out to be a shortened version that Brendan from the-old-jeep has posted back in 2010. I’m sure some others out there didn’t see it either. It’s a good one that starts with a comedy routine and then shows an FC-150 & 170 hard at working towing vehicles.
