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 is a unique vehicle.
“1953 Willys Overland. Factory prototype. F head six cylinder. Right hand drive. This is the only one.”

Never knew that existed but I like it! Check out the wagon gauges on the dash
Shame they didn’t build this design.
It’s right-hand drive. Does this mean it was this aimed at the overseas market?
I don’t know, something about this vehicle seems very strange, a one of a kind that no one has ever seen or heard of, doesn’t look like a Willys or Kaiser vehicle,right hand drive yet in America. Is the speedo in kilometers? For such a unique vehicle, you would think the seller would list a detailed description.
It does have elements of the Aero? taillights?
The Willys Aero was a line of passenger cars manufactured first by Willys-Overland and later by Kaiser-Willys Corporation from 1952 through 1955. The father of the Aero was Clyde Paton, former engineer for Packard Motor Car Company. The Eagle and Lark models were built from 1952 to 1954. A Wing model was available only in 1952, a Falcon model in 1953, and a taxicab in very limited production in 1953 and 1954. The Ace was the only model built through all U. S. production. 1955 saw two new models, the two- and four-door Ace sedans (renamed Custom shortly into the production run) and two-door hardtop Bermuda. Production in the U.S.A. ended that year as Henry J. Kaiser decided to give up the Kaiser and Willys Aero lines and concentrate solely on Jeeps. A total of 91,377 Aeros were built in Toledo.[1]
The Aero tooling went to Brazil
Certainly would be interesting to know more. Kinda looks Aussie??
Here is a one off cadilac woodie designed by brook stevens in 1953. might have done a willys one too?

The lines look more Kaiser Darrin-ish to me than Aero.
…….although I see the Aero references too. The side sculpting lines look KD-ish.
The only things that say willys are the instrument panel, seats, and engine?
I have 2 aero willys — I don’t see any aero stuff on this wreck ? — they don’t show the f-6 hurricane — gauges look like my 51 sedan delivery — in 50 years of willys collecting repairing restoring , never seen or heard of this oddball ..
Here is a reference for woodie jeeps. Says Brook Stevens was into designing woodies and OTHER companies did build woodies on willys frames. So most likely this was not built by Willys?

I wold think for that kind of money they would have more of a description too.
