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 .
Looks like a good project.

“Up for sale is my 1952 Willys Truck Rat Rod/ Hot Rod. I have a clean title in hand ready to transfer.
About the truck: The truck itself is titled as a 1952 Willys truck. The frame is from a 1987 Toyota mini truck, and retains all breaks and rear axle of a toyota truck. The frame is painted, as it was from a show truck. The frame has a professionally welded in c-notch and a 4 link suspension in the rear. It has a 4 bagged air ride suspension with fast bags. As you can see in the pictures, the truck lays body on the ground. It has front/back and side to side capabilities as well as individual bag control. You can see the switch box in the interior picture. The air bag suspension works wonderfully, and is very fast. The pipes to each bag from the tank are stainless steel instead of plastic for a very nice, and much better quality, than the typical plastic tubing. You can see the tubing coming off of the tank in the pictures.

(03/13/2016) Looks like a well-modified wagon.
“’52 Willys Station Wagon, 383 Chev. engine with 350 turbo, 10 bolt Chev. rea end. Rack ad Pinion steering, tilt steering wheel, A/C. Silver and lavender apint, lavender upholstery.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
(10/07/2015) Looks similar to one of the “Tenders”. Looks good for the price. Might need a little work?
“This thing was built by a dear friend and co-worker at Gilbert’s Jeeps. He passed away this past April. He worked on Rat Willie for a couple of years. Being fair, I would say it is not exactly finished, but then that would be up to the buyer. Lots of differing ideas about such things.
The Willys body, which is a chopped down panel wagon, sits on a Chevy S10 Blazer frame. It has a 350 Chevy V8 with a Turbo 400 Auto transmission.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Doug forwarded this unusual wagon build.
” 48 Willys Overland Jeep Station Wagon Ratrod! We built a new complete new frame, Chopped the top 8″, narrowed the body 2 1/2″, Lowered the windshield 4″, added a sbc 350 w/ 350 auto trans, dual rear end, 16.5″ wheels and power brakes all out of a 1988 Chevy one ton box van, we scrapped the computer & throttle body and changed the intake and added a Edelbrock quadra-jet carb, turned a set of block huger headers upside down, used a 1952 Chevy front axle & steering box, a 1949 Ford steering Wheel & column, added new front disc brakes/calipers & pads, the fuel tank is a 7.5 gal beer keg, new electric fuel pump, several antique crosscut saws were used for a Sun Visor and “Mohawk”, we used a bunch of old car tags to patch holes, make new door bottoms and cover the firewall, the mirrors are off a Peterbuilt, the door handles are double barrel shotgun barrels (they are hinged and ARE used to unlatch the door), clear coated the body and put in a new windshield. The original gauges are in place but are not connected. Very fun to drive! The new bias front tires need to be balanced, they have a little hop at 45 and then at 75. I’ve driven it 75 to 80 mph on the highway. It steers and handles well. Very Unique! Sold with tag receipt and notarized bill of sale only. Alabama did not issue tags on vehicles built before 1975. Most states will issue you a title with these documents.”
