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 .

Bill pointed out the sale of this truck that was Forest Service-themed. It sold for the crazy auction price of $28,500.
https://www.hemmings.com/auction/1951-willys-pickup-644110
“Now finished as a tribute to the U.S. Forest Service, this 1951 Willys pickup is described as a “longtime farm truck,” owned by one family for its first 70 years, that “underwent considerable mechanical and cosmetic refurbishment to prepare it for sale.” Besides new paint and a bed liner, the Willys is said to have received renewed interior electricals, heater refurbishment, and steering work. According to the selling dealer, the finish is about three months old, and any needed rust repair was completed. Because of its previous farm service, the Willys is also equipped with a power takeoff for running implements.”
Here’s an odd ball!

“This is an 1949 Willys Overland pickup truck. It has the Willys Go Devil L-134 engine, T-90 3 speed transmission and Timken clamshell differential. It is 2 wheel drive. The truck is rust free except a small bubble on the passenger door corner, which there is a photo of that area and the bed was sandblasted and a few very small pin holes are visible. Very light surface rust on the frame if any.
The cab appears original paint but the seat has been recovered and some newer carpet and possibly door panels. The electrical has been changed to 12v. This is a good running truck and fun to drive but I have to many projects at this time and need to downsize. This is a very solid truck and will be an easy project for someone who is looking for an unmolested Willys truck. The truck is located in Louisville, KY. This is a running and driving truck.”
This modified truck has had the top removed, among other changes.

Craig shared this 1957 Swedish Fire Truck for sale ion Germany. It looks in great shape. The price is just over $19,000.
https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html
Roughly translated from German:
A very rare treasure. Forget all the assistance systems and all the other bells and whistles that today’s cars have.
This is pure driving!
Swedish Willys truck from 1957 with 3.6 liter Super Hurricane 6-cylinder engine.
An old master mechanic did a lot on the car in just under 100 hours.
Main work: The front was converted to disc brakes with a conversion kit from kaiserwillys.com from America. That’s why 17 inch rims from a Dodge Ram are now fitted. The rims were turned out to match and powder-coated in black.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
May make a good restoration candidate.

Sam spotted this cool combination. It’s being auctioned at Bring-A-Trailer.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1951-willys-2-door-pickup-truck/
“This 1951 Willys 4-73 is a 4×4 pickup that was acquired by the late owner approximately 25 years ago and has reportedly been stored for much of the last 15 years. The truck is finished in gray primer over a brown interior and is powered by a 134ci L-head inline-four mated to a three-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Equipment includes a front tow bar, wood pickup bed extensions, a side-mounted spare, and manually-locking front hubs. This Willys is now offered by the seller on behalf of the late owner’s estate with a matching trailer, a Willys parts catalogue, a clean Oregon title for the truck, and a bill of sale for the trailer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2850.
Seems like a pretty good price. Maybe the rust problem is larger than suggested in the text?
“1955 Willys truck runs and drives good. Does need clutch. Was driven till June this year. Has small ford 6cyl. Engine runs excellent and the 4 wheel drive works. Some body and frame rust $2850 OBO.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Bill shared this project truck. He’s hoping someone gets it so that he’s no longer tempted by it.
“1953 Willys Overland, with plow.
Been in my family since 1963 (have bill of sale from then) and was in running condition 25 years ago when i parked it in my garage. My grandfather used it to plow his very long driveway. I started a restoration in the 1980’s but never finished.
Its been sitting outside now for about 6 years and I am too old at this point to restore it.
Asking $3000 or best offer”

Bill spotted this sold truck on Hemmings. It seems a hefty price, especially when you look at the undercarriage (cobwebs, some surface rust). The seller states they spent $63,000 on ‘restoring’ this truck.

Sam spotted this nice looking refurbed truck, currently sitting at $5100 at Bring-a-Trailer.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1948-jeep-1-ton-truck-model-4t-four-wheel-drive/
“This 1948 Willys-Overland Jeep Model 4T pickup was purchased by the seller’s father in Kelowna, British Columbia, in 1948, and it was refurbished between 1999 and 2002 after the seller took possession of the truck. It was refinished in gray, and additional refurbishment work included rebuilding the 134ci inline-four, refreshing the interior with dark red vinyl upholstery, replacing the windshield and seals, and rebuilding the carburetor, radiator, front hubs, generator, and starter. Equipment includes a three-speed manual transmission paired with a Spicer transfer case, a chrome front bumper, red-finished 16″ steel wheels, and a cabin heater. This Willys Jeep truck is now offered with refurbishment records, manufacturer’s literature, and a British Columbia registration.”
