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 .

(06/16/2010) Here’s a beautiful truck. Moreover, this is the truck the previous owner used to tow his 1926 roadster to car shows.
“My father passed away last year, but he left an extensive car collection behind. Up for auction was one of his last projects, a 1948 Willy’s pickup Resto-mod. My dad purchased the pickup about 3 years ago and completed the modifications 3 months after that. He painted the truck with a Satin black finish with hand painted flames. It has 360 C.I. putting out roughly 300 HP with an automatic transmission. The interior has been re-done with new headliner, carpets and seats ( red…see photos ). The gas tank has been modified and sits in a galvanized steel bed.
I am not an expert on this vehicle, but my dad was maticulious about his cars. In the last 6 months we have had to sell most of his car collection. All paperwork and history of vehicle modifications has all been kept on this pickup. Great running daily driver, in fact my dad used to tow his 1926 Roadster to car shows with this truck.”
“1953 Willys Pickup; Chevy small block W/ March Serpentine Belt system. Turbo 350 trans. Dana 60 Rear Axle Custom Steel Wheels with Jeepster Caps. AC-PS-PB. Stereo W/Sirius Radio. Custom Interior with center console. Very Nice Porsche Red Paint. This is a very nice example of a early Jeep Pickup. It is registered as a 1953 Jeep Pickup. It is a 1947 Cab with a custom made bed with a tonneau cover with Willys Overland Logo in it. This truck is solid, no rattles and is fun to drive.”
“This is a Willys Jeep pickup used exclusively for a Fire Department brush fire response vehicle. It spent it’s life garaged, warm and clean. Because of this it has no rust and 29K original miles. It is BETTER than a frame-up restoration, because it hasn’t yet gotten to the point of needing restoring. It is still a fun, reliable, licensed and inspected daily driver in the mechanical condition of any truck with 29K miles. Of course, there are the added perks of a loud siren and flashing lights if you want to be noticed even more. I have owned it for five years (bought it directly from the fire company) and would be happy to keep it, but like many people, I have growing cash flow problems, so I have to take a cold look at my priorities. It is time to sell. I have set a fair and reasonable reserve for the quality of this antique. It is located near Binghamton, NY and you could drive it home if you wanted, but it would be a crime to run up needless mileage and wear. A flat bed trailer would be best, or hire a car hauler. This is a 50 year old antique, so naturally there is no warranty. Sold as-is, where-is. Try to get your questions in well before the auction ends so I have time to answer.”
“55 Willys Truck Jeep Runs Great; new uphostwered seat, front drive shaft, tune up, brakes. 3 speed manual trans 4hi and 4lo; super hurricane straight \ flat six cylinder engine 72,000 miles; comes with plow; Clear Title
(see video click on link or copy and paste).”
This might be a good price, especially if you already have an extra radiator.
“1957 4 X 4 Willys Jeep pickup, straight 6 cylinder engine. This would be a great restoration vehicle, lots of parts available. The engine starts and runs; it does need a new radiator. I bought it for a desert runner, however, I found a CJ2A don’t need both. $600.00 . Will trade for a trailer big enough for a Jeep CJ. I can be contacted on my cell 602-321-4379, the vehicle is located near Gilbert and Broadway in Mesa.”
Here’s a nicely done restoration using a S-10 Chassis. Also interesting is the effect of painting the tines of the grille a different color from the body paint.
“You are looking at an excellent example of old looks and new drivability. A 1955 Jeep Pick Up on an S-10 4X4 chassis. This can be used as a daily driver, then tak it to shows and come home with a trophy. The Willys can be driven anywhere, so fly in and drive her home. 4.3 Chevy V6 with throttle body FI. 5 Speed tranny for good gas mileage. 15 American Racing wheels. The truck need nothing to run her down the road. No titles in Maine so bill of sale and transfer Maine Registration. May end at any time.”
“YOU NEED TO SEE THIS ONE!! California truck with 18,000 actual miles. Completely restored…. won’t last long guys! If these photos dont show I will send some. ”
I don’t believe this has an engine or tranny (the ad notes it is set up for a chev 350 and trans).
