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 .
TJ shared this wagon. There has to be $800 worth of value here?

“This is a project. I was going to do a rat rod but going back to boats. It is setting on a S10 frame and is rolling but has no motor transmission or interior. I do have the title and purchase plates and tags for it that are current.”
Andy spotted this project early wagon.

“1967 Jeep Willys Dragon. Great for someone who likes projects. I do not have more pictures and I am unable to get them due to not having immediate access.. if you want to see it you can make an appointment and my husband can meet you. Bought it as a project but I don’t have the time or money to put into it. Does not have an engine in it.. no title only bill of sale. I also bought an Diesel engine that has the transmission which I was going to adapt to the Jeep. But ended up not doing it. Selling separately Jeep selling for $3,500 Engine with transmission selling for $2,500”

“’53 Willys station wagon body tub and parts for sale. Original Willy’s frame rotted out. But the body tub still has a lot of metal left. Would be really cool on a modern chassis. Doors, tailgate, window frame, interior parts all needs to go – $1000 or OBO.”
Andy spotted this parts or project. I am unclear how to interpret the latter half of the description??

This updated delivery sedan looks in good shape. The “smog check” image is just a wrap.

“350 crate motor 400 trans Rust free very rare . 4 link rear suspension coil overs front . Fresh paint and upholstery. Just installed the wrap smog sign.”

“1958 Willy’s 4X4 wagon from California, it has a rebuilt 226 FH Hurricane 6-cylinder engine and a 3-speed manual transmission, new clutch and a Warn overdrive. It has a decent medium green paint job and a creamy white top. Most of the big-ticket items have been rebuilt or replaced including complete brakes, all welded exhaust with a Magna Flow muffler, recent alignment, new Toyo Open Country 235-85R-16 tires and rims on and on. It’s a decent running driver with a few things for you to finish up. I have a lot/most of the parts and pieces needed to finish it up and a lot of other parts as well. You’re looking at $12,000.00 CASH and make sure that you have a signed permission slip from your wife in hand before you pick up the phone.”
This looks solid, though has some interior wear.

“Runs amazing one of a kind here in America made in Brazil Ford Rural ”
Mike shared this rare right-hand-drive wagon. Maybe it is an ex-USPS wagon?

“1958 Willys Wagon, Rare right hand drive. 6-226 runs. Have rear driver’s side repair panel.”
It may not win a beauty contest (neither can I), but this wagon, dubbed the Chukar Chaser, is purpose built: Hunting Chukars.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1156725718376458
“Runs like a rabbit and has great bones. New brake system, clutch system,drive train and bearings. $2500 worth its ready to roll. I drive daily.Everything works, all lights, amp,Oil pressure and water temperature gauges. Has great pressure and runs cool. Has a 1964 AMC 196 Six Cylinder. When installed they put in a Great Heater. Has fold down bumber to carry trail bike or 4 guys hanging on to grab bar on roof. Front bumber set up for easy towing also. Has new tires. Is a great hunting rig but new bride hates it. So would consider a trade for a enclosed quad with heat.”
Seems a good price.

Glenn shared this 4×4 panel wagon that could use some floor love. There appears to be plenty of solid wagon still left here.
View all the information on eBay
“63 Willy’s Panel. 4×4. Super hurricane six cylinder flathead. Solid body with typical front floor board rust. hat channels and pillars are solid. Engine runs well, nice quiet and smooth. No smoke at all, seems to be a great engine. Clutch transmission, and 4 wheel hi and lo all work good. Generator charges 13.8 volts. Drivers door latch doesn’t always latch.

It lacks some polish, but looks rust free. It does not run.

“This is a original 1948 Willys (Jeep) Overland Panel van, a ex-flower delivery wagon that was restored in Las Vegas some 30 years ago. It is a solid metal truck with a huge 1968 289 Ford Mustangs engine and tranny with Edlebrock component ad ons. Auto-trans, no power steering or brakes. Never registered in the 17 years I’ve had it, the project is beyond Me now. NOT RUNNING. A real gear head who wants the twin side pipes roaring under his feet NEEDS THIS. Custom bed in back, removable with ease, all matching interior with a few extra parts and original California yellow plate to match front and back!”
