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 .

Joseph might look pretty young to own his first vehicle, but after a trip to Moab with his dad Pete, who runs the OWF, to attend the 2012 Willys Overland Rally Joseph caught a bad case of the Willys sickness. As his father knows to well, there is no cure for this dreaded disease. With Joseph’s fate sealed, he decided to buy a wagon with his own money that he could rebuild himself (with some help from dad).
The wagon needs plenty of work, so they located a good donor frame that’s already been modified and strengthened, saving them lots of time and work. They have collected some ’76 Wagoneer axles, XJ rear and YJ front springs to fit the already modified frame. They also have located a variety of additional parts to help round out Joseph’s project.
You can follow Joseph’s build here: http://oldwillysforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=3549
Good luck Joseph! I’m sure you’ll learn a lot 🙂

UPDATE: Still Available
(08/25/2011) There’s some potential here. It looks like a panel delivery wagon to me; I wonder what people were calling it (see last sentence below). Bob and Dan both note it looks like a Parkway.
“1959 willys Panel delivery Wagon this is rare, see plenty of wagons but not panel delivery, it’s had a life but plenty left in it, would make a grate restoration project or use as is will probably need the gas tank flushing as its been stud since the distributor broke, it has some rot in the wheel arches and some dings but other than that its quite good, it also has a heavy duty winch that goes with, its sold with a bill of sale $1,500 406 250 7003 because of idiot scammers mention flathead lake in your mail.
Apparently people feel the need to corect me on what this willys is, what you see is what you get when you own it you can call it what ever you like pannel delivery is what it states on the vin plate thanks.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
This sounds good for the price. Pic isn’t very helpful.
“Balanced 327 Engine, 350 turbo trans with B&M slap shift, 4X4 with new tires 31.5X15 nice wheels, duel exhaust with headers and magnaflow mufflers and chrome tips. Was a daily driver for over a year, wanted to restore it but don’t have the time now. This is a great deal, very firm on price, serious calls only please.”
This runs and drives, but the seller says it needs work.
“63 Willys Wagon, mostly original, Super Hurricane 6 cyl, all original drivetrain. I bought this as a project and was almost ready to dive into it and things come up… Its driveable but not roadworthy, it needs work. Great winter project 814221eight two seven five ”

This is one nice wagon.
“a friend that started Fujimo in the mid 80’s passed away and i purchased it and finished it. it has had 4 engines a 283,350 ,400 and now a 383 stroker. it has a rack and pinion mustang 2 with disc brakes for a front end. 383 stroker motor connected to a 350 turbo with a 3200 stall converter. top has been chopped approx 4 inches and top of roof stands at apptox 67 inches. car was shown with great sucess in the early 90’s. fujimo was driven and not a trailer queen. he was retired in 1996 and placed in air conditioned storage.. he was taken out approx 5 months ago and sent to an old nascar mechanic in georgia. valves that had become noisy in storage were adjusted, transmission whose seals had dried out was completele rebuilt and cooling system was redoone including new larger radiator, new waterpump and electric cooling fan and larger fan blade was installed. clear coat had a couple of bubbles in it so fujimo was taken down to bear metal and new graphics and coat of yellow paint was applied, new carpet was also installed . old diamond pattern upholstory has a few minor stains but it was decided to leave it alone. considered installing an aftermarket SUV rack for the surfboard but decided against it. It would probably cost over one hundred thou to reproduce this vehicle. have invested over 15,000 since coming out of storage. I am 78 years old so it’s time for my old friend to go to a new home.”

The bid is only at $100, so there’s still value here. No title. It is being sold for parts.

I was contacted by a eBayer who informed me this Willys is older then 1960. I was going by the pick slip when I listed it. Best I can tell by the pictures posted on line it appears to be a 1951 front grill and rear door etc. I don’t know if the parts are interchangeable . But the pick slip says 1960.”

Steve forwarded this nice wagon. The Owl’s Head Transportation Museum is selling this wagon.
“Model 463. Older restoration. Good condition throughout. A real classic. Fun driver. Price: $12,500”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It doesn’t run. This appears to have been used by a vineyard at some point based on the stenciling.
“I FORGET WHAT YEAR IT IS AND CANT FIND THE TITLE AT THE MOMENT ALTHOUGH IM POSITIVE I DO HAVE 1 FOR IT

http://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/3390356289.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,995
This looks real nice, though for the price I’d expect the engine compartment to be more polished.
“This car is a real ‘head turner’! People love to see it on the street. We get a lot of waves and thumbs-up. The car starts immediately, runs smoothly and drives easily.
Chassis is solid with no rust. Body is in excellent condition. (Minor rust at the bottom of the driver’s door and the bottom of the tailgate – see photos.)
Great color combination with simulated “Woody” scheme.
This Willys Station Wagon is original and complete. Includes the rare rear seat which is often lost or removed from these older cars.
Although very nice, this is not a “concours” car. (I did, however, show it at the Marin-Sonoma Concours in 2011.) It’s a fun driver with a lot of curb appeal.
(It wouldn’t take too much to refine the car to ‘show car’ condition.)
