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: Still Available.

While it is easy to pick apart someone else’s vehicle, I can see some things that the term “Fully Restored” are lacking. The rear bumper is 1950/later style, the 46-49 would have said “Willys Overland”. The tailgate script is only the word “Willys” and the other have said “Overland”. It may be the way the reflections on the paint look, but the tailgate appears to have body work that wasn’t done correctly. The interior shot of the headliner shows water stains that would be indicative of rust in that area. The headliner may be the original and simply wasn’t replaced due to not being able to find the correct material. It does have the correct hubcaps and an original steering wheel, the hood script and the glove box script. Original heater also. No engine or underhood photos, however.
All told, it isn’t a bad wagon, but a closer detailed inspection would be prudent before plunking down $22,500 George Washingtons.
I agree with Colin. A lot of blood, sweat, tears, and $ went into this, but it’s far from stock. The exterior isn’t even painted the correct colors in the correct spots.
If the buyer doesn’t care about that type of thing, it’s a nice wagon.
I like this wagon, as long as everybody is an “Expert” or “Critic”, I’ll add my 2 cents. As far as the color scheme goes, I’m old enough to remember a few Odd ball wagons that looked like this, even back in the very early 1950’s, you would see a wagon that did not fit into the period correct mindset of the era.
Notice the windshield and tail gate windows, seem to be larger than stock, Not by much, just inches. I think it is the rubber weather seal that gives less over lap on the glass. My guess is that the weather seal was installed backwards. Just the same, I like it, gives the wagon glass area a better look. Maybe that’s 4 cents, My complements to the owner. I’m done.
