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 is a wagon and chassis. Apparently, other parts are included as well.

This looks nice. Unclear what type of TLC is necessary.
“Runs, starts and drives. Good Title. V6 out of a 1989 Buick 231. Needs TLC – Cool Truck! Too many projects already to keep it! ”
This was probably worked on by TCs, which is in Kent, WA. This might be a good price.
“Selling the old wagon, engine recently rebuilt by 4×4 Kent Shop, transmission rebuilt, all checks Good and the AM radio works (mostly get the Mariners Game). $5,500 OBO. Thank you for Looking.”

This used to be a Department of Archeology Wagon. It needs a little work still.
“This 1959 Willy’s station wagon, 4X4, flat head, 6cyl., 3 speed, serial no. 39971. This unit was originally owned by the US Government, the Dept. of Archeology. Ten years ago this unit had new quarters and complete paint. It was done in 2 different colors of metallic gray, a darker and a lighter color. Roof and lower portion below the mouldings are the lighter color. It has all new front springs.
I have driven this unit out on the gravels, but never on the highway. 4 wheel drive works, clutch works. Brakes worked when I parked it 10 years ago. They do not today. Might need fluid, don’t know. I got this unit out yesterday, I put battery in it and gas, and drove it out of the building. When this unit was put away I added 2 gallons of diesel fuel to the gas and let it run so it would not stick any valves in the flathead engine. This Willy’s has all of its stainless steel trim inside of the truck.
It also has all of the other extra chrome pieces. Has original seat for the driver. I believe I have the other seats, don’t know for sure. Pretty sure they are in a storage building in town, have have to look. Have the oak wood strips for rear floor. Tailgate for truck is in back of truck. It is painted and done. I have a newer style replacement bench seat for the front that I was going to install. It has good radial tires and spoke wheels. The exhaust is complete. I have all the windows and trim moldings and inside moldings for the truck. They were taken out when it was painted.
Doors fit nice, open and close nice. Windows roll up and down. Has cracked glass on driver’s door. Windshield good. When this unit was repainted and quarters put on, it was not going to be a show vehicle. There was some rust in floor pans and have been repaired good enough for normal use and are solid and sealed up. I do not have time to finish this. After if was painted, I parked it and have lost interest in it. It would be a good project and a very different vehicle if someone wanted to complete it. It is not over-priced and they are getting very hard to find. This unit has a Minnesota Title.
I would consider trades on something of interest. If you are interested, give me a call and we will talk. Would like this unit to go to a good home as soon as possible.
Will consider offers and possible trades
Call 563-212-4530. PLEASE NO EMAILS OR TEXTS”

Dan forwarded be this Traveller information, which has proved helpful for me. Dan also took some a picture of Paul Berry’s 2WD Traveller, which you can see here (you can see all the pictures here, but you’ll need to scroll 2/3s of the way down the page).
Yes, the readers of “Finding Virginia” now span from the Northern reaches of Norway, thanks to Even, and to the Southern region of South Africa, thanks to Claus. There are even a few books at points in between the two!
Even wrote to tell me he was sharing his copy of my book with a friend of his named Reider Haugen. He added, “Reidar is among many Jeepers in Norway that keep himself updated with Ewillys every day He is also one of the members of Flatfender Fellows here in Norway. I brought my sample of “Finding Virginia” for him to have a look as you see from the picture.
Reidar is almost done with his very nice Willys Utility Delivery with a GM engine and some Scout parts underneath. This is going to be a nice daily driver next to his Willys Pickup Truck sporting a Volvo engine. Remember we are close to the Swedes . . .
In the middle you can see my Jeep Cj-7 Golden Eagle that I have owned for excactly 24 years today.
Now you know how far your book has spread around the world! We both wanted to thank you for the best webpage ever for us Jeep-enthusiasts”
Thanks guys, I love the picture!
Glenn spotted this unusual wagon. It is supposed to have a Mercedes diesel engine. Apparently, some type of Advanced Adaptor part was used to mate the engine to the tranny.
“1950’s spilt window Mercedes diesel engine runs good!”

One of the arguments for the Parkway conversion is that the delivery wagon “can now be registered as a suburban vehicle, which grants it access to boulevards and other zoned sections where commercial vehicles are not allowed.”
Anyone know how restrictive this zoning was?

It looks to be a project still.
“First year of the delivery. Body is original, needs quarter panels which I have.

This looks in good shape.
“These 47 Sedan Deliverys are hard to find, especially in this condition. This vehicle is an older hot rod that has a 1964 Chevrolet 327 c.i. 4bbl. with a Turbo 350 transmission and B&M shifter. This power feeds a 57 Chevrolet 3:56 positraction rear end. This panel has power steering and power disk brakes on front from a 72-76 Camero. Has Steward Warner gauges and tach, updated upholstery and good tires. Tires are 14” front and 15″rear with beauty rims and baby moon caps. It still has the planar front suspension wih the transverse leaf spring and needs new shocks, which are redily available. This is an older hot rod that has many updates incorporated into the running of this vehicle. The paint shows a little wear and it needs a new passengers side windshield and door window as seen in the pictures. The side windows have been updated to one piece with the removal of the stationary vent windows. This vehicle is licensed until May of 2013 and is comletely road worthy. Drive it while you refresh the cosmetics and enjoy the “hot summer nights”. Asking $6800 but open to offers. No trades and I have plenty of projects. Call Hap at (559) 960-6771. I will not respond to text so don’t waste your time, call if your really interested.”

This sounds like a solid panel wagon, though needs some TLC.
“1948 Willys Overland Panel Delivery Hot Rod, truck has a 440hp motor with performer heads, cam, timing gear and intake, 3″ exhaust, too much to list come check it out price is firm but will consider intersting trades that are older than 1970.

(02/13/2012) One runs and one is a parts vehicle.
“I’ve got two Willys Jeep Station Wagons for sale. I’d like to sell them as a package for $3500. The ’57 (red) runs, the ’58 (green) was bought as a parts car but there is enough extra parts to build it also. If you’re looking for a project with real classic looks, this could be it! Both are Hurricane flathead 6cyl, with 3spd tranny, 4WD and I’ve got the transferrable registrations for both in my name. I’ve just got too much on my plate, so I need to deplete the fleet a little. If interested, Call Joe at (516) 996-6820”

I just thought this was interesting in that it looks parked in the middle of nowhere. Of course, to be fair, Elko is in the middle of nowhere. That means that Ryndon is even more in the middle of nowhere.
