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: Status Unknown. Was listed at $2000.

“This is a 1956 Willys Jeep 1/2 ton 4 wheel drive Flatbed. The engine is the original 226 Hurricane 6 cyl. It runs well. The bed is a hydralic lift system which works very well as does the 4 wheel drive. The truck does need some electrical work (tail lights, turn signals) Considering the year of this truck, it is in near excellent condition! Please! Serious inquiries only. No emails”
It seems to be a Willys/Jeep Truck and Wagon day. So, let’s start with this old brochure Glenn forwarded to me. I’d like to see a brochure that shows all 50 options referenced in the brochure. Note this is a brochure put out by Willys of Canada.
Here’s another rare truck with a dump bed. A red truck with a dump bed was sold out of Vacaville earlier this month.
“1962 1/2 Willys Jeep 4-Wheel Drive Pick-Up Truck with Dealer Installed Dump Bed – Registered as 1963 but according to the numbers it shows a production date of 1962 1/2. Dealer installed dump bed, I was told there was only 100 of these made and after a lot of research I only found a few in existence. All original, also a great truck for original restoration or custom, this is a real classic. Bone stock original California rust free Willys, its got a couple of little bubbles as big as your finger nail, but nothing major. Driver and passenger door glass is cracked, it’s flat glass and replacement parts are available. This truck has never been modified, it looks to have been painted many years ago, it was originally the blue you see on the interior pictures. This truck spent most of it’s life on a gold mine in Northern California’s gold country. I purchased this truck from the president of the local Willys Club with intentions to restore, but the wife isn’t warming up to the idea. This is a running registered road worthy vehicle, runs and drives as a ’62 1/2 Willys should. I just had new rear brakes installed, new master cylinder, oil changed, all fluids top off, and a full safety check done by the local Big O Tires.
From 1962-1965 – Willys Jeep used the 230 CID (3.8 L) 6-230 Tornado I6, It was available with only one transmission, the Borg-Warner T-90 three-speed manual. A Spicer 18 transfer case was used on WD models. The Timken 51540 was an early rear axle option, otherwise the Dana 53 was standard. The front axle was a Dana 25. A 5.38:1 differential ratio was standard.
Please ask any and all questions BEFORE bidding, and if you have zero 0 Feedback Please contact me before bidding. Buyer responsible for vehicle pickup and/or shipping. Good Luck and happy bidding, I have set the reserve at a very low price.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. This was located in Jaffrey, NH, but is now in Smithsburg, MD. However, the pictures are the same.
(08/20/2011) This looks in good condition.
“1959 Willys Jeep Forward Control FC 170. Very rare. 16000 original miles. Used originally as a fire truck. Converted to a dump truck with dual exhaust by high school auto body program. Dual pistons under dump. Can lift a load. Truck has no rust, has sandblasted and painted frame. 4 speed transmission and completely rebuilt engine. Truck can haul like wild. Needs bumper and wipers attached. Only selling because I have problems with knees and hips and have a lot of trouble getting in and out of it. Paid more than asking price. Located in Jaffrey, NH and can be seen upon request”
UPDATE: This appears to have been SOLD. Was listed at $2900.
The price seems pretty good on this one.
“1962 1/2 Willys 4×4 pickup with factory 230 overhead cam six and dealer installed dump bed. A very rare vehicle for motor (3,566 made) and dump bed (probably less than 100) truck runs great, very little rust, nonop registration. ”

The term ‘rare’ accompanies a variety of FC-150/170s.
“This extremely rare 1963 Jeep Willys FC-170 4X4 is both a stake bed pick up and a hydraulic dump bed. The trucks prior owner was into these vehicles in a big way and kept his eyes open for the right FC to purchase for over 15 years. He acquired this truck from the original owner and had it for another 15 years until illness forced the sale. The prior owner advertised this as “Very Complete & Original all the way down to the Windshield Washer Bag that hangs on the dashboard.”
