About eWillys
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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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.
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 78 Jeep delivers rain, sleet, or shine lol. This thing is pretty AWESOME!! It has a bullet proof Inline 6 and TorqueFlite Automatic, the chassis is not rusted and the body isnt either. It runs great and all original. It has a few additions such as a little fan type A/C unit and a Pioneer CD player. Really clean considering the age it is in great shape. The question was asked..How many miles? the answer given…All of them, hehe. No seriously it has 488k miles and will still deliver at its peak performance. Maintained very well and I do have an additional one that quit and doesnt run and I will do a package deal for both. Any more concerns please text me.”

Here’s a rare look at a Willys Overland Chassis with a StorDor body (see late 1940s brochure at bottom). What’s unusual with this van is that at some point it was turned into a motor home. While this former laundry van’s current fate is unknown, Larry, the former owner, has shared some information about it. He writes:
I had an old van registered as a Willys Housecar from 1948. Body was on a 2T frame and was modified with a Chevy inline six. Boy do I miss her…I had to leave her in shambles ten years ago
I was told that an old man in Moorpark, Ca. had custom built the interior and as seen on the exterior, the most probable “Bakery” in blue and with imagination, “To your door” showed up on the driver’s side through the house paint that is flaking off, suggesting that she was once a bakery delivery van. The previous owner had received it as a joke some time before I got it in 1980. I don’t know if it even exists anymore. She was dependable but scary with the feeling of tipping ever present like the willies you’d get in a CB or MB of, say, 1940’s circa.
On another note, I had a friend who had a 1947 Ford van similar to this Willys I owned and it had a grill in the bell shape as mine was.
The caption on the back of this postcard reads: SCENIC JEEP RIDES & ARCHERY at Cook Forest State Park on State Highway 36 along the Clarian River in north-western Pennsylvania. Wild life is plentiful in the park and may be seen by the alert visitor
Glenn forwarded Eric Walton’s CJ-8 Postal Jeep stories and links website. According to Eric, there were only 230 of these specially made 1984 Scrambler CJ-8 Postal Jeeps produced. As of a few years ago, he estimated that at most 200 remained. You can view a detailed serial number list at jeepheads.com: http://www.jeephead.com/1984_cj8s.htm
