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 .
This runs and drives, but the seller says it needs work.

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”
http://ohtm.org/gallery3/index.php/Barn-Fresh-Automobiles/1948-Willy-Overland-Station-Wagon
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
APEARS TO BE ALL ORIGINAL AND COMPLETE RIGHT DOWN TO THE FLATHEAD WILLYS “SUPER HURRICANE” STRAIGHT 6 ENGINE THAT STILL HAS A GENERATOR ON 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.)

You don’t see the Mercedes-engine-in-a-wagon mod too often.
“Need to make room for an arriving project. Opening bid is the reserve, so, bid to win..Prefer Cash on pick up or postal money order but paypal will do
Not included in this sale is: kermet, front hubs or rear heater… i will include an old set of warn hubs..
This is a 50 1/2 or 51 body (with mostly original paint, including the pin stripes in the raised beading under the side windows) sitting on a 58 chassis.. titled as a 58. I have both vin plates so you could probably apply for the earlier title.
Daily driver. Goes down the road very well, with no issues and is fun to drive. Been on the road for a bit over 2 years with no problems..i used it for work every day, loaded with a full compliment of carpentry tools. hour each way
Currently registered and insured.. inspection is overdue, mostly because of laziness.. Hanger bearing recently started clunking after 2 years on the road(it was used,but good when i put it in) have a new one
Motor is from an 85 300d that had 200,000 mils on it. Runs good, no smoke, good oil pressure when i put it in. I don’t have oil gauge hooked up now. I tested it with a temporary when i first started the unit.
I grafted the mercedes cross member/engine support to a set of beefed up willys motor mount perches, (which bolts to current chassis).. This way i could use the stock mercedes motor mounts and engine shocks, which were installed new at time of assembly. I also used the mercedes accelerator pedal and linkage as they are rubber mounted to keep engine vibration from the drivers foot, which it does. I had to graft in a section of the benze firewall into the willys in order to make that happen, and it works well.
ALSO NEW at time of maiden voyage(over 2 years ago): windhield glass and rubber, sliding glass rubber and tracks etc,willys repro wire harness, repro brake lights, all brake components (including lines and hoses), all belts and hoses, valve cover gasket ,rebuilt wiper motor(electric ones are for girls!),gm alternator, radiator, oil pressure line to cooler, pitman arm, tie rods, u joints, tires (on 16″ truck rims), rebuilt steering box, battery. willys america door panels and firewall insulation, heater core cleaned and tested and heater media blasted and painted correct color….etc, etc . . . Much more info on eBay”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2000.
(08/23/2012) There are lots of parts, but unclear if there is a whole wagon here or not.
“I have 2 wagons. One is a 1950 and the other is a 1951. The 51 is complete with wverything there and not been touched. The 50 has been taken apart and sand blated and primed. The 50 was going to be put on a 4×4 frame before i bought it. It is a rolling original frame with extra parts as the other owner had 2 to make one. He kept the 4×4 Bronco frame. Would like to sell both together and the pricing is negotiable. If interested, you can call or email back. 218-591-9883.”

(05/08/2012) I’d like a closer look at the dash and gauges. Maybe the air ride doubles as an emergency/parking brake?
