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 .

It is powered by a Flathead V8, but needs work. MIght make an interesting project.
“Pulled this sweet little wagon out of the weeds and the darn thing runs. It has a flat head v8, it holds water and idles good. We changed the cap/rotor and plugs and wires. We put some different wheels on it because the others were roached. Pretty solid little wagon. Tail gate is a struggle to get shut. We were just shifting it using a wrench but have a shifter that will be in it.”
It looks good, but I don’t understand the jacked up rear?
“Must See !! 1950 Willys pick up, 4wd twin stick shifter, runs and drives great, garage kept. Real head turner. Rare to find one in this good of shape. Standard 4cyl that most of these had . re-upholstered front seat and arm rests on doors.”

“I have a very original 1947 Willys Pick Up. The floor has some rust in cab. It does run. It shifts good thru all the gears. It needs brakes, tires, all glass and interior work done.”

Todd’s got this truck project for sale.
“1952 Willys Pickup Truck – 4×4. – Complete truck, non-running, no title.
This is an excellent base for restoration or project. Coupled with the Toyota below as a donor this would be a perfect opportunity to upgrade the Willys with a modern drivetrain.
=======================================================
Note: Also listed separately for sale (1982 Toyota Pickup 4×4 – $1850)”

The truck be worth a look. It might surprise you, but I’m not a fan of the Wounded Warrior Project. Example 1, Example 2, Example 3 … that’s apart from the fact that when Ann, my combat wounded wife, learned about a local fishing trip and asked if she could go, the WWP told her she couldn’t. Why? Because they don’t support veterans before 2001. However, they are NOT clear about that fact in their advertising.
“1951 Willys Jeep Pickup
Original engine professionally rebuilt in the fall of 2014. Body and frame was worked on in 2012 as a Wounded Warrior Project.
Asking $8,000. Serious inquirers only.”

On Sunday Ann and I went to visit Rich and the “Tender” jeep wagon/truck he has for sale. The truck is in pretty rough shape, but the shell of it could be re used. However, there are lots of bees. The bees limited my ability to take pics, especially of the inside. Yet, it was the inside of the truck that demonstrated the vehicle was definitely not a factory jeep.
My theory is that someone saw one of these Tenders in Israel. Inspired, when they returned to the states they built a few of these, hence the reason several look the same. They must have had some skills, because the top looks great on the top. It’s only on the underside of the ceiling that you can see the seam near the back. Moreover, it looks like a flat fender hood channel is used along the underside of the ceiling to provide support.
On the outside of the back of the top, there’s a crack in what appears to be some bondo. The quality of the work is again good and matches the other side.
It looks like the top of the sides of the former wagon has been capped. There appears to be cracks forming along the metal (see pic above … note crack about an inch below the top of the rear of the bed).
Other pics and notes:
The tailgate was not finished. The lip on the top of the tailgate was left as it was. The area underneath the tailgate window at the back of the cab looks like it might have been blocked with wood. I did not look too closely. This “Tender” was modified with a spring over axle, but the original spring perches were left.
