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 .
Washoe Willys is the Reno-Sparks Convention & Visitors Authority’s newest representative. This 1951 Wagon will appear at a variety of the region’s attractions to promote the RSCVA.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
This might be worth a look. It’s been parked a while, but might not take much to get going.
“2 WD wagon with a Ford 302 V8. Has an Edelbrock intake cam and lifter combo high performance kit from Summit Racing. Brand new heads and a Holley 650 4 barrel carb. With K&N stack air filter. Has a new C4 transmission with shift kit and B&M hammer shifter. Ford 9 inch posse track rearend. Had this thing in high school and has been parked for the past 16 years and don’t know enough about mechanics to get it running again (ran great when I parked it ) nor do I have the time since i live in western WA now. I’m sure a mechanic would love this as a restore project! My loss is your gain. Asking $1000.00 just so I don’t have to try and tow it here 200 miles.”

Yep, there are four doors on that Fairmont-built Hy-Rail wagon. Rare, rare, rare.
“Very rare 52 Willys 4 door four wheel drive wagon for sale. These were made by Willys for Fairmont Rail corp for use as hy-rail vehicles to carry rail crews and tools to the job site. This is one of only 11 that are still known to exist.
I am selling because of another project that is taking all of my time and money, and want this to go to someone who can help preserve this rare piece of automotive and rail history.
This is a project vehicle and will need a complete restoration. Engine is the Jeep 134 4-cyl ohv and is not stuck. The body is in poor shape, floor pans rusted through, rear floor has spots where it is rusted through. Jeep is complete with the exception of the original seats, had a seat from an unknown donor vehicle when I bought the Jeep in 2012.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This wagon is powered by a 98 Toyota chassis. It looks like someone did a nice job of laying out the motor in the engine compartment.
“Up for sale we have a 1953 Willys Jeep Wagon. The Jeep looks stock but it’s setting on a ’98 Toyota Frame with all Toyota Drive train. It gives you the look you want with the drive comforts of an everyday driver. In the paragraphs to follow we will give a brief description of the exterior, interior, and driveline of the Willys, but first we would like to tell you a little about us.”

(08/15/2014) Runs and drives.
“54 Willys panel? sedan delivery?. Has a newer jeep wagoneer engine trans t-case and axles in it runs and drives power steering and brakes, electric wiper change over and other mods. I has all new brakes in it. The engine is a amc 360 with headers and dress up kit. Trans is a turbo 400. T-case is a dana 18 or 20 not sure with 2 or 4 wheel drive. This is a fun to drive ratrod that gets a lot of attention it is not a show vehicle and has rust but hey its M.N. and everything does.

This one-of-a-kind smoker and BBQ was built from a 1954 Willys Wagon. It was created as a portable bbq kitchen for a restaurant in Mississippi called the The Shed (actually, two restaurants now) founded by the Orrison family. They chose to use a Willys because, “it’s like the oft repeated mantra of cooking great barbecue: You have to drive it ‘low and slow.'”
Medium.com has a long story about The Shed and their experience at a BBQ competition.
Here are a few photos from medium.com and from USA Today:
UPDATE: Was $10,000. **SOLD**
Another 1948 Package Delivery Van, except this is the California Body version. Compare it to Jesse’s version.
“Will sell all of my Jeeps for the low price of $10,000 (Firm) which takes into consideration that there are issues, minor to major with all 3. Do Not let this scare you off. This is a screaming Deal for what I have and definitely warrants the expenditure of some time to come and look if you are a serious Jeep buyer! 1. 1947 CJ2 2. 1951 Jeep pickup 3. 1948 Willys Overland Parcel Delivery (PD) Quite Rare! First two run and the PD was driven from San Francisco to Paynes Creek 18 years ago and has not been started since. It has the 4 cylinder flathead engine and the other two are F Heads. The 1947 has an F head that is a transplant out of a 1953 jeep station wagon. I will entertain the idea of parceling them out. I do not answer TEXT messages, If you wish to communicate with me you must respond to the Craig’s List email platform with your phone number and your first name and I will get back to you shortly. I can provide more pictures by request.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000
It runs and drives.
“Looking to sell my 1963 Willys Wagon. I’ve got too many projects and need to cull the herd. This is a good weekend driver or project vehicle for someone with more time and money than I. Engine and trans runs strong, recently had the carburetor tuned, it runs like a top. It is a 3 speed manual transmission. 4wd and transfer case seem to work without issue. Recently replaced the stock metal fuel tank with a polyurethane tank and new fuel pump. It is a 60 year old vehicle so there are normal issues with a jeep of this age, its not a hot rod, needs tires, and there is some rust around the underside, tailgate and rear wheel well. Considering the age and rarity of finding these vehicles, it is in better shape than most I have found. It looks good, runs, drives and have title in hand, which is better than 90% of the others on the market. Cash only, no trades, no low ballers, want to sell ASAP, but please only reasonable serious offers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
Still needs some work.

This photo looks photoshopped a bit, but I liked it just the same. The trailer is not for sale. The paint on the hood is peeling.
“1949 Willys Station Wagon. This is a sweet old 2wd Willys Wagon that is a fun car to own. Most of the early Willys Wagons had a small 4 cylinder engine, but this is a rare one with the 6 cyl. It also has a working overdrive, so it does a little better on the road. It has a recent new battery, and the previous owner said that he went throw the brakes. It runs nice and cool, even in the hot weather.
This summer, I have been driving it just about every day, but I’m sure most people would want to do a complete restoration on it. I’ve never taken it on long trip, just 50 – 100 miles or so. Like any old car, it needs attention to lots of little things. The brake lights only work when they want to, The old vacuum wipers work….unless your going up a steep hill, and the front floor has been patched very badly, and should be redone.”
