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 looks solid.

“1957 Willys-Overland Motors Kaiser-Jeep Wagon 4×4, 2 door with rear lift hatch and tailgate. This is the ORIGINAL SUV !!! $16,500 O.B.O.
In July of 2011, this vehicle was given an excellent bill of health by the renowned and reputable Zip Auto here in Missoula. The only issue they found was the defrost control rod appeared to be stuck. Very fixable I’m sure. Compression ratio was perfect on all 6 cylinders.
This one is a rare find indeed. You’ll be hard pressed to find another one of these that has been garaged it’s entire life. Yes this was garaged always when not in use. My grandfather purchased this vehicle new and used it for hunting and exploring Montana during the late 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. This Willys Jeep Wagon was used rarely, adult driven it’s entire life and maintained with the utmost attention and care. Since the late 70’s, this vehicle was started nearly every summer, brought to operating temperature and driven around the neighbor hood a bit. I believe it was 1985 that my grandfather had a fair amount of work done on this vehicle. He had the engine pulled, cleaned, new seals everywhere, prepped and painted. The body and interior were completely prepped/repainted and the upholstery was redone that same year. The exhaust system was also replaced around the same time. Every ounce of chrome on this looks like a mirror. The exhaust tip is still nice and chromed. The rubber seals all look near new as well. Basically it looks, sounds, smells like new and doesn’t leak any fluid. Talk about sound, it also has a dual or triple horn that is quite loud. Rear passenger side windows slide back half way.
I’m having the radiator, engine, transmission, transfer case and differentials all serviced this week. Radiator will be flushed, fluids will be replaced. I just put in a new battery last week. The winner of this auction will essentially be getting a near new 1957 Willys Jeep Wagon. Potential buyer will need to be aware that this is still the original 6 volt system. Everything works. Because of the low gear ratio, this SUV tops out around 50-55 on the highway. This isn’t going to be your highway commuter vehicle, these were made for the back country or rural communities.
45,470 Original miles (adult driven). This jeep wasn’t used that often. Body in outstanding show quality shape and repainted in 1985. (two tone green). New upholstery in 1985. New engine seals and engine paint in 1985 “L6-226 Super Hurricane” 226 CID (3.7 L) in-line 6 cylinder, great low RPM torque. Borg-Warner T-90 Manual 3 speed transmission 4×4,Spicer/Dana 18 transfer case, nice two lever action Dana 53 rear, Dana 25 front axel. Low gear ratio, with the 6-cylinder engines, it was 4.88:1 standard or the optional 5.38:1 (not sure which this is, it goes pretty slow). Newer exhaust system (1985), still has a shiny chrome exhaust tip. Sounds nice and quiet. Tires look new.”
This looks nice.

There are some interesting detail changes (lights front and back) in particular. There may be a little work yet based on the seller’s notes.
“1948 Willys, was sitting in a barn 1970-1996. I purchased it in 1998, frame-off restoration and body stripped, put on the road in 2003. Never missed a beat, very reliable, has never let me down in 8 years and 5000 miles. I am a Mechanical Engineer, been building and restoring US and German cars since 1978. I am not a pro, but I was working for a German company when I built this car, and I always imagined one of the German Engineers was sitting over my shoulder when I was building it, criticizing everything I was doing, so mechanically it is done to a high level.
DRIVETRAIN: Mid-80’s CORVETTE 350 with Corvette Aluminum heads. Engine is set 8” back into firewall, so crank pulley is centered over front axle centerline for best weight distribution. I believe the engine was re-honed at one time (pulled pan and had a look), so perhaps it is bored? Demon 650cfm Carb and Edelbrock intake, universal street rod headers ceramic coated with true dual exhaust with crossover. Aluminum waterpump. Aftermarket distributor. New valve lifters and timing chain. Turbo 350, rebuilt when truck was built. Lokar shifter. Griffin aluminum radiator, Ford Taurus Police electric fan (with low/high speed fan). Shaved firewall. Holley electric fuel pump mounted at tank, oil pressure safety switch on pump, plus large fuel filter. Runs good, although a bit sputtery until off the choke.
SUSPENSION: Heidt’s MUSTANG II FRONT end with tubular A-arms, vented rotors, large anti-roll bar (kit cost $2000). Rear end Ford 8.8” 3.23 posi with finned aluminum cover, vented disk brakes, adjustable coilovers with second set of shocks, T-bird anti-roll bar. Adjustable balance valve for front/rear brake bias. Functioning parking brake. Power Rack and pinion steering. Hydro Boost (not vacuum) power brakes make this wagon stop like a Porsche. Power Steering cooler. 16” American Racing wheels. Good front tires, older rear tires (245’s). Spare tire on Mustang 16″ alloy. Handles well, tracks straight, not so happy on very bumpy roads (low rider).
INTERIOR: Dash completely re-done. Pod in front of driver holds AutoMeter “Phantom” (white background) gages as follows: Tach, Speedo, Voltmeter, Oil Pressure, Vacuum, Fuel. Water Temp. Indicator lights for turn signal and high beams. GM tilt steering column. AM/FM cassette in overhead console. Center console with power window switches for side windows. Custom trans cover. Volkswagen Rabbit wiper motor (electric 2 speed). Heat insulation padding in firewall, trans cover, under seat platform. Dash lights flicker on/off occasionally. 2 front seats, no rear seats.
Windows behind doors, formerly 2 piece sliding windows, are now 1 piece power up-down, very slick. Small humps in rear floor for coilovers and differential clearance. Interior is semi-complete, but really needs to be gone over and re-done. Has 3-point seatbelts.
BODY: Had floor and rocker rust, all replaced with reproduction sheetmetal. Driver’s rear quarter panel and door lower replaced with reproduction panels. Hood shaved, headlight chrome trim removed and now mounted flush to grille, newer H4 halogen headlights. Front signals flush in grille. Custom front bumper, reinforced. All glass is new, and windshield is 2 piece flush mount. Doors shaved, with remote “poppers” for remote control, plus hidden release buttons. No chrome anywhere. Front fenders fully extended to blend into custom 2.5” rear wheel flares. Rear lights are Caddy, sunk into rear corners. Sunken license plate. Custom rear bumper. Upper tailgate (window) is custom modern look frameless tinted glass, on gas struts, hidden hinges. Color is 1992 Ford Gold with Volvo Brown trim. Paint job is so-so, cowl could use a re-spray and it has some overall wear.
Willys is sold AS-IS, no guarantees. I built it, I drove it 30 miles on August 26th, and I know it works well and is reliable, but it is not a Honda or a 2011 car so you may need to fix some things.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,500

“1951 Willys Wagon. Was in the 1990 movie “Waiting for the Light” – driven home and parked after that and never moved again. Appears to be missing radiator at this time. Has been undercover since the 80’s that I can remember. Interior is in original state. Exterior was painted for the movie.”
Bill forwarded some pics of his beautiful Wagon build. I thought it was a stock rig until I saw the drag image.
This is my 1947 2WD Jeep wagon that I fixed up. It’s kida a wolf in sheep’s clothing. With the right wheels it looks kinda stockish. It is powered by a 540 BBC motor with a trubo 350 trans and a Dana 44 rear diff with a 4.10 gear and a True Trac. I have upgraded to a Rac steering and disc brakes. It has a stock front suspension, so that’s why it looks so funny leaveing the line when I drag race. It runs low 11′ second in the quarter mile. It is driven as much as I can, and even take it out for a spin every Christmas. I do live about the 49th parallel.
This looks good.
