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 .
Listed 8 Weeks ago, but this is a really neat Wagon. Listed as a ’46 and it does have some really early features. The fixed wing windows that don’t open. The back seat mounts that look to plug in. 2WD Column shift, cant see the exact speedo in the picture but the color is correct for an early one. The back side looks legit as well with the way the license plate is.
Check out that horn set up under the hood, complete with Air Cleaner.
Hood spear, front and rear bumper look really nice.
Door handles, interior trim, ash tray. Rearview mirror, head liner……. The door echelon look kind of smooth, could just be the pic. Has the fancy Steering Wheel set up.
If you are looking for a fairly complete early looking Wagon this might be a great fit
Hopefully it stays intact for someone.
Information from seller:
Well there is none, so that could raise some red flags, but the profile who posted this has been around a while, could be new to Marketplace.
This custom log skidder was built from a 1953 Willys wagon. Affectionately called the “Doodle bug”. It has a Jeep Dauntless 225 V6 (Buick) from a 1968 CJ5. Winch is PTO/belt driven. Comes with push blade and an angle snow plow. Tow bar on the front. Tire chains for all four wheels, choker chains, extra parts and manuals included.
There is a lot of work in this one. Won’t be everyone’s cup of Willys, but figure would show what’s out there.

Pretty together Wagon, engine looks to be missing some bit.
Information from seller:
1960 Willys wagon complete does not run body is in fair shape
Looks like a legit Maverick, has the center console basket weave still, seats look legit, this has the Bullet trim, first year for that was ’61.
I was talking with a good friend he has had a Maverick since I think 1978. It’s gone through a few life cycles so its a neat vehicle. But he mentioned there might have been some sort of “Maverick” trim that went on the hood that said “Maverick”. I have not seen that before. I know they had that super special version with the early hockey trim, but this was mentioned as being maybe where the 4 Wheel Drive logo was. Just curious told him I would put it out there, and was only like Monday we talked.
Information from seller:
Mostly complete Willy’s wagon it is rusty but still has lots of potential would make a cool rat rod or whatever your heart desires motor is junk has no brakes does have clean Indiana title 1500$ cash or trades welcome
57 Wagon, has a lot here looks pretty complete but has some typical rust areas, it’s rough in spots, but good in others. The bottom tailgate maybe it was in the down position or even in the back of the rig the patina is off there but it looks original paint.
When you start to zoom into some of these pictures the things like the front rubber carper kit look original, seats are there in the front, the correct Speedo. Bumpers, wheels, hubs, interior parts, door handles all the way around. Trim looks complete, except recently someone picked the 4 Wheel Drive off the hood, I would ask them for those never know. But not super hard to get those.
Under the hood is a 226 with looks to be new plugs maybe, but the coil looks like they were trying to figure that part out. The horns look legit and are the dual note with the correct bracket for those. So when you dig in there is a lot here, but it’s a complete project at the same time.
Exhaust is flexible, there are remnants of a roof rack as well.
I like it.
While looking around trying to work on these pictures I ran across the Secure Purchase option that was listed on this one and that might be something to look into when buying a Willys, I quickly read through the deal, and it also seems like a great way to purchase a vehicle. This seller for example has a great rating as well, those are things that other places lack, some a lot more then others. But I feel you still cannot let your guard down when buying old rigs. One key area is to understand your States titling process and requirements, you will want to have that process down to make sure you have the ability to use this how you would like to.
Serial number was provided with this one, easy lift here to decode what’s shown:
5416825083
541 = Wagon
6 = 226 6 Cylinder
8 = 4WD
25083 = Serial Number puts this right at the end of ’56 and with everything shown makes perfect sense for a ’57. The S/N tracks the MFG dates not the year the rig was physically Titled. As most know these are all pre 17 Digit vin codes kinda could do what you wanted back then on the MFG Side.
