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 .
“Was running and lost spark. Have started changing from 6 volt to 12 volt. I have put in an alternator and have a 12 volt distributor and have the wiring harness ordered. Many extra parts. Original 226 hurricane six, three speed with factory overdrive.”
The seller notes that 1955 was the first year Warn offered the five-ring warn hubs. Actually, they (both the locking and the automatic hubs) were offered as early as 1953, according to at least two different ads. One 1953 ad (note the Feb 1953 Motor Trend Magazine for example was a full blown brochure, while this 1953 ad below was included in the September 1953 Popular Science magazine:
All that said, and back to the original purpose of this post, the wagon looks nice, though it does have an updated engine.
“For sale or trade. I am gunsmith so primary interest is firearms but no harm in asking. This is a great Willys that can be driven just the way it is or you can pursue additional restoration. Everything works, 4×4, factory Warn hub locks (first year those were offered), overdrive, front and rear PTO with a winch on the front bumper. Dual fuels tanks. Older paint still looks good, just not shiny. Seats were all just rebuilt (foam and covering) in a canvas looking modern material. Less than 200 miles on a completely rebuilt and balanced Chevy L6 250 with MSD Distributor and Electronic Ignition. Starts and hums along very smoothly. Steering is vintage and next on my restore list if I keep it. Need $12500 in cash or trade value to consider parting with this fun rig.”
“1951 Willys 2dr. station wagon. Would make a good restoration project, hot rod, or a great rat rod. It is mostly complete. Factory 6 cylinder, 3 speed overdrive transmission. This vehicle has been sitting for approximately 15 years here in Nevada. Glass is all there but, passenger side windshield is broken. Front floor pan is rusted through. Has a clean Nevada title. Asking $3500.00.”
“This wagon has no rust! All windows are in perfect shape. All lights and switches work minus the fuel gauge and speedometer. It has a 327 SBC V8 engine that starts right up with zero smoke. It has a 4 barrel carb. Power brakes. Power steering. 350 automatic transmission. Front disk brakes. An updated rear end but unsure of make. This thing was done correctly by an older gentlemen and built as a cruiser. It has dual straight pipes. GM steering column. No headers or loud exhaust. It is a great driver just the way it is. New tires. It’s not perfect or I would be asking 15k for it.
Open to trades or trade plus cash. No lowballers. Come look at it and make me an offer.”
Isn’t that a later model body with the flat rear wheel well?
