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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $950.
(06/05/2012) This might make a good custom project.

(07/20/2012) Bob spotted this one. No obvious rust here. Looks like it has restoration potential.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was priced at $1600.
The price on this looks good. I had to do a double take on the “dashboard is in great condition”, because I spotted the wooden instrument panel. I think what Marty means is the dash is in very good shape, but this needs a new gauge panel to look correct.

I like reading books about the history of odd subjects. Whether gum, beer , milk or salt, if it is a history about something food related, I want to read it. A few years ago I read a fun little book about the history of popcorn called Popped Culture: A Social History of Popcorn in America by Andrew Smith. I was surprised to learn how many different kinds of popcorn there are, having grown up on the basic non-branded yellow variety. So, when I spotted this article about popcorn trailers that were pulled by Willys Wagons, I thought it was interesting. Below you can see the trailers built by Clyde Gould, see one of two wagons that pulled them, and learn about his attempt to create a popcorn business. Unfortunately, the article doesn’t indicate how successful he was or what happened to the trailers.
You can read the entire article here: http://blog.modernmechanix.com/he-popped-corn-into-a-fortune/
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was listed at $7000
(06/29/2012) This looks good. I can’t tell if the passenger side is a little discolored or if it is just the light and a reflection.
“51 willys 2wd wagon, rebulit brakes , rebuilt 4 cyl engine with overdrive, very little rust , new tires,”

This looks like a good price based on the pics. And, if it runs, it’s a really good price.

The outside looks good, but the interior is rough. Looks like someone is a Chargers fan.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This is an old Air Force Wagon that, according to the seller, was modified with a V8 by the Air Force. It’s a neat bit of history. Apparently Mercury supplied motors for an unknown number of swaps into wagons.
“This is a pretty rare super solid Willys Wagon. She came from an Air Force base in Wyoming and was used as a crash tender. The original engine was not fast enough for the military so a Mercury flathead V8 was adapted quite nicely to the original drivetrain. I couldn’t tell you you when she was last in service but I know this vehicle was stored in a hanger for quite some time. The body is extremely solid! This is an easy retoration. She runs great and drives straight. I have spent years collecting parts for this beauty and everything goes with her. Way too much to list, but my asking price hardly covers the parts and transportation costs to get her to Syracuse. If you’ve been seriously looking for a Willys Wagon to restore, this is the one. I searched the country to find her. Please don’t ask me to sell the engine separately. The military bought these vehicles with the intention of swapping motors and Mercury provided a limited amount of them and I wouldn’t want to ruin the historic significance of that.”
Jon forwarded me some ads I hadn’t run across. Here’s an interesting one for the wagon rescue trucks.
UPDATE: Joseph reports this sold. It was listed at $5800.
Nicely updated wagon.
“1993 Dodge Dakota running gear

This is a neat advertisement Jon sent me.
UPDATE: Was $6000. **SOLD**
(04/23/2011) Here’s a good looking wagon.
“1951 Willeys Jeep two door wagon. Rebuilt 383 Chrysler with rebuilt automatic transmission 727, slap stick shifter, super clean, US mags with Goodyear tires. 1969 Dodge rear end and 1962 Ford Falcon front end. $6,000 or best offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(03/22/2013) Is this a Maverick? It’s got two tone paint and two tone interior.
“This a 1961 Willy’s Wagon with original 230 flat-head six cylinder engine. I have replaced many general parts. It has been painted and new interior. Engine and transmission are very strong. This vehicle starts and drives great. You may also make a reasonable offer.”
The wagon looks good. I love the first picture.
