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 .
No pics and little info.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2300.
The green FC looks like a FC-170? Lots of parts here, but the bodies aren’t in great shape from what I can see.

It looks like it has been in a barn. I can’t tell what the rust condition is.
“For sale or trade Barn find Parked in 1979 in a barn all orig w/new tires. Perfect for restoration”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Here’s a very nice FC-150. Cool color too.
“Selling: 1957 Jeep Willys FC150 4X4, 4 Cylinder Hurricane Motor, 3 Speed Trans. Lock-out hubs, New tires & wheels. Mileage is Exempt. It has new paint, reupholstered seats. We do not know a lot about this unit. We grabbed it as a “barn find”, and decided to grab it and make it look unique. This Jeep runs great and has top-end speed of approx. 45 MPH. It was formerly olive green when purchased and now it is newly painted Tangerine Orange and Studebaker Beige. We can only tell you that this was a local buy in PA, and we can provide some history of its origin and its travels. This is a very rare vehicle and is in GREAT Condition. More pictures available upon request. Jeep lovers start your bidding! “

These tow trucks don’t come up for sale everyday. That said, it’s a bit rough.
“This is a nice FC170 (FC-170) forward control Willy’s Jeep tow truck. As you can see, the truck is a total restoration project, but being that it is so rare, it would be well worth the investment. It has the original Canfield tow truck equipment minus the sling and A-frame off rear bumper. Has the original motor, transmission, and axles. The transfer case needs repair. Has no front drive shaft. The FC originally came equipped with the deluxe cab option. Also suspect that it may have the severe service option but can’t be sure. More photos can be seen here. The vehicle is located in Woodford, Vermont and will need to be picked up. No shipping or tranportation will be provided. There is no title, but bill of sale will be provided.”
I thought this picture was pretty unusual. Surf over to the FC Connection website to learn more about the Rolligon, a vehicle based roughly on the FC-170.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
I’m thinking this is a very rare opportunity. I’ve never seen this complement of snow devices on an FC-150.
“1959 Jeep FC-150 Engine Runs Great. New Tires. New Hydrolics to raise Blower. BLOWER is powered by 440Ci. RB with only 70000 miles. This engine replaced a 361 Ci. commercial High Torque engine that developed a rod knock, Totally REPAIRABLE. Also goes with DEAL !! Replace ment is partially complete. Varrious additional parts to both engines also included. LOTS OF FUN !! CASH ONLy !! NO reasonable offer refused”
Here’s an FC-170 with what I assume is a custom bed, though the tilt part is probably original. Not a bad price if the rust situation isn’t too bad (can’t quite tell from the pics).
“I am unsure of the year exactly of the Jeep Willys. We think it is around the 60’s. The truck is an FC 170 3 spd transmission 6 cylinder Super hurricane. The motor has less than 5,000 miles and runs well. The truck has 105,600 original miles. It is four wheel drive, it has a PTO, hydraulic Winch, and a Dump bed. The truck runs good but has been off of the road for 5 years due to the owners death, and there for not inspected. If interested please contact me and I will get the best information I have for you. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
It’s missing some parts.
“Rare 1962 Jeep FC 170 with snow plow attachment. No engine or tranny. Most people put in chevy V8’s and automatic transmissions in these anyway. I have owned this for many years but never got the chance to restore and modify the way I would like to. My loss is your gain. Just try and find another one for this price. $500 or trade for a good .357 pistol or ??”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.

It runs and drives, but needs some restoration.

Looks like a good parts FC-150.
Here’s the new ad:

The outside this Forward Control looks good to me. Certainly, it needs interior work though.
“You are bidding on a 1957 Jeep Willys FC150. It is a 4 cylinder with a 3 speed manual transmission. The odometer reads 38,000 miles. It was originally from Arizona and has been in Pa. for the past few years. Needs finished – would make a good project. Comes with an extra frame w/drivetrain, extra motor and other misc. parts.

The pics aren’t quite clear enough to get a good sense of the body.
“body in very good shape motor is shot and out of it. 1-509-675-7021”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
“I have a 57′ titled as a 58 Forward Control 4×4 Willy’s is decent shape, not perfect by any means but reliable with a good tune up… ‘WLDWLLY’ (plate) has been sitting in my barn since 2001 when I went to seminary in Oklahoma. Just before graduation I had a massive stroke and severely paralyzed my left side. I was hoping that my arm and leg would get better and I’d be able to do something with the Jeep in the future but so far this hasn’t panned out….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
No engine and tranny.
“Hard to find Willys Jeep FC 150. A 1957 the first year made. This was bought by the Forest Service. Has some rust issues but a hard to find truck. The last owner install a Chevy 327 V-8. The motor doesn’t run and there’s no transmission, missing the seats. The bed that’s on the truck is worthless but the original rear fenders are in nice shape. go figure. This is a perfect truck for that head turning hot rod”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
This is the second FC listed by this seller.
“Hard to find Willys Jeep FC 170. A 1957 the first year made. This was an old movie camera truck. The bed is missing. The cab is in real nice shape compared to most FC’s. Great cab corners and no rust around the windshield. The original 226 motor, trans and transfer case is there. There was a PTO that was removed so that’s why you see a hole in the back of the trans. All it needs is a plate made to cover the hole. The motor doesn’t run. Cracked windshield and door glass.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2000
Readers pointed out that this is an FC-170 (I couldn’t tell for sure).
“1959 Willies Jeep Forward Cab. Dana 30 1ton, new clutch, 11.00 16 rubber. Very straight, would be great mini dump conversion. Rear PTO. $2000.00. 425-417-9654 – Paul”
It’s rough, but runs.
“1957 Jeep FC-150. Runs and drives, but needs total restoration. Stock drive train and axles (F134, T-90 trans, dana 18 tcase, 25 front, 44 rear). Cab is rusty – bed is solid. Missing heater and wipers. Needs new glass all around. Recent work perfromed: Rebuilt carb. New master cylinder. Installed 11″ drum brakes on front axle. New rear cross member. Rebuilt steering components (drag link and bell crank)”
Yeah, you read that right. Craig from the FC-Connection site kindly dropped me a note saying that none other than Tim ‘the tool man’ Allen purchased this beautiful FC-150 for $38,000. It probably didn’t hurt that the FC was auctioned at the Russo-Steele Auction, the televised auction you might have seen on ESPN2 while flipping through cable channels.
Here’s some images from the FC-Connection site. And, a link to the Russo-Steel auction page for this FC-150.
The CJ-5 comes with a warn overdrive, a ford-top loader, a ford 289, a full cage and a set of hurricane aluminum 10″ rims. $1500 isn’t a bad price for that combo + the rest of the parts.
The FC-150 looks pretty good as well for $1500, if it comes with some of the missing parts.
“One 1959 Willys CJ5 with Ford 289 and Ford top loader four speed, Warn overdrive, starts and runs good, original 5:38 gears and nine inch brakes, 
will include parts for changing to 11 inch brakes. $1500.00 cash O.B.O. One 1959 Willys FC 150 Forward Control with Ford 289, Jeep transmission and transfer case, original 5:38 gears and 11 inch brakes. was never finished. Will come with extra FC 150 parts. $1500.00 cash O.B.O.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
There’s only one pic, but I don’t see any major rust. This might be a good deal.
“1960 Willys FC170 – Rare Project Truck – Runs but needs throttle cable. Only reason I am selling is to repair transmission on other truck.”
The rust doesn’t look all that bad. This might be a decent price for it.
“This is a 1957 jeep fc 150. its all original but has some things missing and a little rust. things missing that i noticed are the distributar and speedometer. the passenger door is damage but could be fixed by a body guy, some rust but will be surface only and could all be taken off when sandblasted, nothing that bad, i would suggest removing the bed and cab to go through it, these trucks are very easy to pull apart. its got the original engine and was running about ten years ago. most of the parts are willy’s jeep and can be bought still through local dealers. the seats are there and there’s a few extra heads in the bed. i noticed a bunch of spare parts in the bed, i will get an inventory soon. call me if your interested, ill try to answer any questions, erik, 916-218-9187, $ is negotiable and i will deliver it!!…”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
(10/01/09) It’s a bit rough.
“
