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 .
A reader named Shep spotted this very clean, original looking wagon.
“Willys Wagon 1956 4×4, 327 chevy runs great, very solid & clean truck, spent its life in california until being shipped to missouri 6 months ago. 660-229-2060”
http://columbiamo.craigslist.org/cto/1834650061.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
This looks in great shape especially for an old Ohio vehicle.
“
161 6 cyl; 3 speed transmission with O/D; All original; Runs Great; Asking $3800.00 or reasonable offer;”
This looks quite nice.
“This Willys is in great shape! It needs some minor work, but runs good. The body is super solid. There are a couple of nicks in the paint, but nothing major. We’ve kept it in the garage, and have only driven it to a few car shows around town. The previous owner rebuilt, and painted it before he passed away. He took great care of this beauty, and entered many car shows with it. His son put it up for sale and we bought it.
Before that, we know nothing about the vehicle. We have owned this vehicle for about 3 years. This vehicle was rebuilt by the previous owner with these added features: 3.8 Buick V6, 350 Turbo Automatic Transmission, B&M Floor Shifter, custom built interior, black carpeting inside cargo area, Pioneer Stereo, bright yellow paint.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $6800.
This appears in good shape.
“1958 Willys Wagon, very rare for Las Vegas. 4X4 with Hurricane flathead 6 factory motor. This Wagon runs great and is all original except for tires and wheels. New tires, battery, and recent rebuild master cylinder. Brake lines bleed with new brake fluid.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
(05/20/2010) This is a nice color scheme.
“‘1950’s Willys Jeep Wagon. In excellent condition inside and out, runs like a champ. 3 speed, 4 wheel drive, original drive train, 302 motor, 2 tone green. This jeep would make an excellent Hot August Night Project. Must see to appreciate.”
This looks like a good price given the condition and upgrades; However, are those windows that are painted in the back.
“51′ Willy on a 86′ Toyota chasie, Vortex V6, Edelvrock intake, Edelvrock carbarator, B&M Torck converter, Turbo 350 Trane, B&M Shifter. No Smoge, current tags, airbags and class 2 tow hitch.

“1959 Willys Wagon 4 x 4. Rebuilt Flathead 6 Engine, rebuilt rearend, new upholstery & much more. Len 360-426-0159.”
http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/cto/1862545519.html
UPDATE: Was $4500. **SOLD**
(07/02/2010) This looks nice. The seller suggests this is in show quality condition. If the restoration really is that nice, this might be a good price.
“1960 Willys 2WD Station Wagon, Stock, Rebuild Original 6 cylinder engine with overdrive and kick down. Very rare, in good driving condition, body in excellent shape, but rust in lower back of car. Excellent condition for show quality restoration. Includes binder with interesting advertisements and literature from 1960.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This is a nice looking Wagon. There are a few very minor issues with it.
“I bought this all original wagon in 2004 from wagonmaster.com about five years ago. When I bought the wagon it was advertised as having a “freshly rebuilt Hurricane 6 engine” and I am the third owner.
It is a very fun and wonderful wagon. The color combination of gold (khaki) and president red (an original Willy’s color) are a stunning combination. I get comments on it all of the time. The other day I drove it to work (four miles from my house) and I got two thumbs up on the freeway and a “shout out” from a young lady who professed love for my Willy’s! This happens all of the time.
I will, occasionally, rent my cars out for advertising photo shoots. This past fall Lands End used my wagon for the cover page of their nationally distributed Christmas catalog. I am told Lands End received a lot of inquiries about the Willy’s itself and if it was for sale….”
UPDATE: price dropped to $6000
(07/15/2010) This is one of those odd title situations — I can understand on a non op why an owner might delay getting a title, but I don’t understand it on a vehicle that is driven around …
“1960 Willys wagon, 2 wheel drive. Converted to a bone stock Chevy 350 V8, auto trans & Chevy 10 bolt rear end, (not a Mickey Mouse job). Has “I” beam front drop axel, rack & pinion power steering, drum brakes all around, BMW wheels, new tires, tilt front body, new carpet, FM CD player, reverse arched front leaf springs, lowering blocks in rear, surf boards & racks, redwood headliner, dual quiet Flowmaster type mufflers, electric & stock engine fans. no leaks anywhere! Temp does not get above 160. Runs like a champ! This is NOT a show car, but what a blast to drive! I have the title, but it is still in previous owners name. It has been signed off and I have bill of sale from him. I will also give bill of sale. Tags good through Oct. Question? Please ask! ….. Please email me through Craigslist or @ www.stevierayvon@aol.com. I will get back with you as soon as I can. ..Located in Lakewood, Ca. 90715. Thanks”

UPDATE: Price lowered to $11,950
(10/03/09) This is a nice looking Wagon. I thought the use of the background blurs was unusual.
“Call 415-706-4855 or 415-453-0270. 1957 Willys Jeep Wagon. Arguably the first SUV ever made. It has a rebuilt inline 6-226 cubic inch Super Hurricane engine with a 4WD (4-Wheel-Drive) 3-speed transmission. It has gear levers for both front and rear transaxles.

This is a great looking Wagon … but who actually appraises vehicles and why don’t the know what they are doing? I mean, it appraised at $19,000? That is nuts.

(02/09/2010) Here’s a nice a Wagon.
“1959 Willys just turned 100 thousand miles. 4-Wheel without overdrive. Third owner. Purchased new in Denver then lived in Moscow for twenty something years before being sold to second owner some eight miles away. First owner changed the generator over to an alternator. Other than that no foolish “improvements.” Second owner had it also for twenty or so years and I have had it since. None of us have abused this marvelous machine in any way. Original engine and drivetrain and just about everything else but the battery and tires. Second owner rebuilt the engine about thirty thousand miles ago. No oil use. Performs as new. Cruises at sixty without any unstability or wander or excess rpm demand. NOT restored to show car condition but finished quite nicely for use with no ugly surprises. I installed a new gas gauge sender a year or so ago and it works just fine until yesterday when I put some gas in and the gauge dropped to zero. I care not to take the time now to troubleshoot it. This Willys is about as close in appearance and original working condition to when it was new as one is likely to find outside of a museum. No, the paint is not original but done about two years ago by a show car body shop. The body is not flawless as I elected to preserve the car with its history of only the fewest of dings yet if it were flawless it would most surely not be driven for fear of scratching it. This is a user and cruiser. Solid throughout. I am pleased to answer any questions or send additional photos though do not waste my time if you are not seriously prepared to buy and I will not waste yours. Located in downtown Palouse adjacent to St. Elmos Hotel on Main Street directly across from the tavern. Available for viewing just about any time or day though please do not just stop by to do anything other than hands-off looking without an appointment. Please email with any questions or to set a viewing appointment as I am not usually near a phone.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1050.
“One of a kind Willys wagon, would make a great restoration project, has a winch and extra parts, also front bumper. no motor, needs total restoration. Have title in hand and two different catalogues for ordering Willys parts. Serious buyers only please, call any time:”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,900
This looks like a very nice wagon, but the hood doesn’t look like it quite fits right in the front (or maybe it’s an optical illusion).
“New brakes, battery, tires like new, RUST FREE BODY.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Dave spotted this wagon. It looks like a pretty good updated build. My question is, why not move the wagon so you don’t have a chain link fence covering half the pic?

The sellers are interested in selling, but aren’t in a hurry due to the wagon’s location.
“We have a ’59 Jeep Wagon we would like to sell. This vehicle has less than 60K original miles. It is only used in the summer, when cabin is accessible, and is garaged all winter. We are trying to decide to sell vehicle up there, or haul it to the Bay Area and try to sell it for more. Vehicle has a clear title and has always been registered in CA. It is equipped with 6 cyl. flathead engine. It has been used for short 4-wheel trips in the area. the body is no cherry, NO major rust, just scrapes from hidden boulders, one rear fender dented pretty good, also has a couple broken windows, (glass is broken, not broken out, make sense?). Interior is in real good shape for its age. Vehicle is road worthy, however I would recommend trailering long distances. Has top speed of about 55-60 mph. Right now we’re looking for potential buyers, vehicle is not accessible at this time, Cabin will be opened Memorial Day weekend or weekend after. email offers please be reasonable.These are the only pics I can find for now. More can be made available in the next couple weeks I’m sure. Please be in no rush, as we don’t get up to the area often and transaction will have to be arranged in advance. I hope you understand.”
