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 .
Craig spotted both of these modified wagon projects/parts jeeps.
Lots of work left in this Wagon/S-10 project. Glass and body exterior look good.
“This listing is for a rare 1948 Willys Jeep Overland Station Wagon. This vehicle will make one great street rod, no doubt about it. The Jeep currently has no motor but the engine bay is plenty large enough for any size motor you’d like to drop in. It needs new door glass. The body is sitting on a mid-80’s model Chevrolet S-10 pickup frame. The body work is ~80% complete. This vehicle is being sold as-is. Please contact me with any questions you have about this vehicle. The buyer will need to pickup the vehicle, I do not provide shipping. This is quite a rare vehicle and a true collector. You won’t find another like it.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
Looks good. The interior “diamond plating” on the ceiling is actually thin plastic sheets cut to fit the side panels and headliner.
“According to Willys records, less than 12,000 wagons were produced in 1959. All were powered by the Super Hurricane 226 Cubic Inch inline 6-cylinder flat head engine. Combined with the 3 speed manual transmission, this drive train produced a neck-snapping 115 HP and could almost reach 55 mph down hill with a tail wind. These wagons came in both the two-wheel and four-wheel drive models and were designed for strength and durability, not speed.
It is difficult to find any of these vehicles today. For the most part, those that do exist do not resemble the original. Most have been subjected to the “improvements” of a high-powered engine and transmission swap.
This rare example has seen restoration efforts by 3 successive owners since 2008. Each has added his or her contribution but no effort has been made to change the original 58 year-old powertrain.

Looks nice.
“If your looking for an all original Jeep Willys Wagon, your search is over. This thing is in really great shape and would be worth your time to come take a look. This jeep is 55 years old so it has cosmetic opportunities, but if you spent some time just buffing this thing out, it would look amazing. There is no rust anywhere on this jeep and it’s been in the garage for most of it’s life and it shows. Just spent $800 on getting it tuned up, but it still has a carb issue. You can come hear it run and we can drive it, but the carb struggles with keeping this thing fed. I had it in four-wheel drive this winter so I know that works as well. The engine is the flat head 6 cylinder. The only other issue is a couple flaws in the headliner and the driver door needs a new latch. Other than that, not much wrong with this unit. Let me know if you’re interested in coming out to take a look.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
Looks solid.
“Reduced price! Runs great, 2wd, auto. Buick small block V6. In GREAT condition, older restoration. New headliner in box, extra parts. CLEAN CLEAR TITLE. This would be a great weekend driver with vintage look and feel!”
