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.
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 .
if the interior and engine bay is as nice as the exterior, this could worth a look. Is there a gas inlet sticking out the driver’s side rear?

“All original, runs and drives great, trans, transfer case rebuilt, front end tight, super nice old survivor,”
UPDATE: Turns out we discussed this back in early 2016. http://www.ewillys.com/2016/03/13/1954-wagon-tender-garner-nc-ebay/
Very cool, but not an original 1954 truck (it is listed at Barrett Jackson as a 1954, though the text suggests it was a 1955 model).
Scott Gilbert alerted me to this upcoming truck to be auctioned at Barrett Jackson.
Over the years, following a discussion with an Israeli jeep fan named Or, I’ve applied the designation of “Tender” to this style of truck. At the time, he’d sent me a copy of brochure and translated the model as a “Tender”.
Since then, I’ve been searching for an original US version of the Tender, but have not found one. So, while not beyond the realm of possibility, I highly doubt this is an original 1954 Tender for the following reasons.
Consistent with a 1955 build, the 1955 55168 trucks model was defined as a cab only version of the Willys truck accompanied by the Super Hurricane engine, same as the truck herein. The “bed” of the truck could have been built from a wagon, so that might be consistent, too.
However, the speedo shown wasn’t produced until late 1956ish. The Willys emblem used on the hood and on the glove box looks more like an Aero emblem than a jeep emblem. The hockey-stick styling of the external chrome didn’t appear until 1960(?). Meanwhile, the two piece windshield was discontinued in 1960. So, there are major inconsistencies.
I’m sure there are other issues that folks can add to this list.
Here’s the listing: https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1954-JEEP-WILLYS-4X4-PICKUP-225070
Here’s the Tender’s description:
“This 1954 Willys was built as a 1955 model and is Serial #0001. A piece of Willys Jeep history, this example has 2,122 original miles and is equipped with 4-wheel drive. It’s powered by a Super Hurricane 226ci 6-cylinder engine backed by a T90 3-speed manual transmission and Dana 18 transfer case. The exterior was repainted in its correct shade of tan.”
Mark’s got his nice looking wagon for sale.

“Rare unique Panel Delivery. The metal on this wagon is in excellent condition, no dents including roof. There is no rust in any area of the sheet metal. Where all the corners meet are all factory fit. The barn doors open and close and fit perfect. It is straight, all the original parts are still there including the 6-226 super hurricane engine that runs and drives. #6 cylinder smokes needs TLC. Has original trans, original seat frames come with it, also a factory installed Ramsey winch runs from the power of the engine. It needs paint, the passenger door window and vent window need to be replaced. The first of the sport utility wagons. This truck is a workhorse.”

“Selling grandpas 1953 Jeep Willy’s Wagon, newer paint, comes with hi-po 1959 283 sbc with 327 corvette camel hump heads( engine is not installed but inspected by machine shop to guarantee it runs) has manual trans and twin stick t-case as well as over/under drive, it has 4 sticks on floor, the interior needs some work, has nice seats, but the body is solid including the floor and fenders. Upgraded full floater axles, axle shafts, pinions etc..
There’s some surface rust on the underside, but is has been covered under a car port and car cover.. all of the parts needed to get it running and driving are here, boxed and labeled, just put it all back together and she’ll be ready to go.. The only item I know it needs are a water pump and Battery. Three of the five tires hold air for at least a month, the other two for a day or so, enough to trailer it home. But the wheels/tires are old and will need to be replaced once it’s road worthy .. Asking $5900/obo, running/driving would be worth well over $10k, could be a flipper if you’re handy, I can deliver for additional fee to be negotiated!”
