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 is pretty cool, 2WD with OD, 1947 has the early 0-70 silver gauges they look legit restorable, has some funky extra boat lights on the back those need to go. Column shift, what you can see of the window crank knobs look correct color, it looks really complete and super nice in the pics.

1947 Jeep wagon 2wd three speed manual 4 cylinder motor call needs tires.
I’m sure most know about Classic Auto Mall out in Morgantown, PA. It’s a nice size consignment dealer, looks like they have a 10% commission, my guess is off the sale price, I’ve never delt with them but it looks like a really cool place to visit one day.
This is a nice “driver”, 230 Tornado. I’m partial to these and its actually really nice looking, there are some issues but overall has some neat features.
Factory Air Cleaner
Washer Bag and Nozzle.
It looks like its all pretty much there.
Looks nice.
Bright work is nice.
Trim is all there.
Wraparound rear bumper is nice
Interior is decent.
Things you may need to address.
Rust never sleeps kind of stuff; it’s a driver so looks like you can jump in and go!
Rubber pretty much needs a bunch of rubber stuff.
Springs, need to take a good look probably need to be done.
Leaks, while ingenious they have some cool magnetic drip cans, never seen that before but like a good Willys it marks it spot.
The engine compartment is all there but needs some clean up. Have a couple of weekends and you have a nice driver.
Some glass is older may need some work eventually.
Overall if this drives and stops enjoy it for a season then peck away at these things as time permits.
I have this at a “make an offer” and see if it sticks.
UPDATE….. Here is the link to the A&A Auto site, I reached out to Nick over there and he got right back to me,
From Nick @ A&A……..
“let me know if you have any questions, it runs great! It’s really cool but I don’t have time to restore it and figured I better send it to a good home.”
Pretty reasonable price for a wagon, it has a lot of nice original parts inside, fairly original. Might be worth a look.

So hear me out on this one, the body work looks legit in the photos, if you’re a fan of yellow that’s a plus, but while not in everyone’s wheelhouse, this is a pretty neat looking ride. My short list would almost to find a nice 230_OHC Wagon Frame and do a body swap then sell the rest, but you may be able to keep the A/C and some other stuff, nice set of gauges and this could be a neat project. Shame it could not be paired up with that 226 Truck frame from above, that could be a slick combination for $17,400 you would have a cool Willys for sure, if you stumble on an original Wagon frame set up. I would look at that RF passenger hood to fender area it looks off for some reason.

So here is one Andy tossed my way, I don’t see this as a viable Drag Racing anything here, but you can absolutely build it to what you need this to be. You will need some “Vision” here.
The Delivery with Barn Doors is the cool part to me, along with the patina, it looks solid.
IMO I’m taking this off the chassis they tossed together that sounds like it all needs to be rebuilt anyway and you have a really neat Willys to work with there are some areas that look done like the firewall and transmission tunnel. Floor looks really nice,
No title so that’s a negative, not being sold as a street legal anything here so its going to require some work.
The collection of parts is impressive, for how much modification has been done, I don’t personally see the pay back here at the price point in parts alone so your going to need a plan here as far as use and project base goes.
If it was on my way home, I would stop in and take a look and see what the deal is here if you looking for a project base.
From the Ad:
“I’m going to go ahead and get a VIN applied to this, so it may take a couple of months before this will be available for pickup.
Not sure of the year, but It’s an early Willys Panel. There is no VIN plate on this, and I have no idea what the VIN is.
We were going to make this into a twin turbo drag car. Comes will brand new glass and rubbers, door handle repair kit and LED headlights.
We had the frame, underside and interior of the body blasted. The frame has been painted, but some of the body was left raw and there is some mild surface rust to clean up.
The firewall has a brake master cylinder installed and smooth panels welded in. The frame, firewall and floor have been modified to fit a bigger transmission.
The original 2wd front suspension was cut out and a narrowed crown vic front suspension is partially installed.
We do have the hood, but I forgot to take a photo. The rear leaf hangars were cut out and aftermarket ones tacked in place.
The rear axle and springs are only mocked up and the axle will need a rebuild (Explorer 8.8).
You can buy it with, or without the crown vic front suspension.
I won’t sell parts, you’ll have to buy the body if you want the parts. No trades, sorry. Bill of sale only, remember, there is no VIN, so it might be difficult to title if you’re planning on street registering it.”
Posted as a 1955 226, no engine installed, but you can make out a very little part of the gauges and the rear gate is split so could be. Has the longer input shaft on T90 for a 6 cylinder, and has the extra shifter so should have a Overdrive with this one, which is a bonus.
Looking inside there are more surprises besides the vintage buckets, the heater box and controls are the later post mid 1962 commonly supplied on the 230_OHC Wagons and trucks, then the later CJ’s had a version of these as well. So they could be of interest to some collectors.
You start adding it up and you have a good little chunk of parts here for sure. I’m not sure you have a break even parting this out when you start adding it all up at the current asking price, but parts are parts.
This is a total project as far as a restoration goes, you are not getting that “out West” rust free start here with this one.
From the Ad:
“It’s a 1955 6-266 Willy’s Jeep Wagon This will be a major restoration project for whoever buys it. It needs alot of fabrication as it has a ton of rust / rot. Serious inquiries only. Title: Vintage [hidden information] Station Wagon Project Car Willy’s Jeep Make an offer. Price is very negotiable! I don’t want to trade. I have too many cars! Condition: Non-running, requires tow; has rust; engine disassembled years ago with various parts sorted in boxes within the car(in pictures) Includes: Original title, owner’s and service manuals, old part receipts. Note: Vehicle hasn’t run in 20+ years. Has been sitting in the SoCal sun the entire time. This is going to be a huge project for whoever buys it. Lots of rust + fabrication needed, if you don’t know how to restore a car then this is not for you!“
“This has a good engine and drive train, body is rusted and plywood panels were bolted on to cover/replace the rusted out areas! Rear floor was replaced with 2 x 6’s. It has not been started in about the last 8 years, engine is not stuck. Will need trailer to get it home. Has good title.”
“This is a 1951 jeep station wagon with a f-134 engine. The engine is in running condition with over 120psi of compression on all cylinders. The carburetor and fuel pump have been rebuilt and has a new 6 volt battery. Car also comes with a variety of spare parts. The car is running but not road worthy.”
