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: **SOLD** Was $2000
(07/27/2014) I think this is a factory Parkway Conversion given the rivets/bolts in-between the rear windows (see pic 2).
“$2,000 or best offer. 230 tornato motor. new battery,runs drives, eats starters”
“Eats starters”? That’s an expensive diet…
This has the grille for a post 1956 with the fresh air heater opening by the grille, and the larger speedometer cluster. If it has the 230 OHC, I would bet this is at least a 1962-64 series. Some of the light green paint is showing under the darker green which might indicate either the US Forest Service or the US Border Patrol originally.
The screws between the rear windows is indicative of a Traveller, but there’s a two piece windshield, which could have easily been changed from a one piece into a two piece. And the middle side windows don’t slide open, which also could have been changes to flat glass. Definitely not a ’54 with a ribbed roof, so it could be a ’64; definitely a ’62 to the last days because of the Tornado 6-230. You’re probably right Colin, it’s most likely USFS Wagon.
It probably has the wrong starter. There’s no reason to eat starters, no matter how hungry you are.
I wonder how rusty it is. I’ll have to remember to check it out when I’m in Portland, OR in about 4 or 5 weeks.

Still don’t know why my 230 OHC broke the starter twice, and a different starter was grinding and turning slow.
Swapped in another 230 OHC instead.
Cool wagon. Looks like a low roof so it’s probably a Parkway Conversion, not a Traveller. A glance at the interior rear well wells would tell ya.
Good call Scramboleer! I had forgotten that Travellers have a domed roof. Let’s see some photos of the interior wheel wells. Oh, wait. Maybe you’re waiting for me to take photos. (lol)
I’ve heard that military 6-230 engines have some different parts. I wonder if the starters are different (more than just the voltage, 12 vs. 24.), and someone put a military starter where a civilian starter should go.
