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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2300.
This looks like a good foundation for an inexpensive custom restoration.
“Willy’s pickup with small block chevy engine and Turbo 350 transmission. Runs but no transfer case on transmission, setup as 2 wheel drive. Excellent tires! Has no thru rust – only surface.
Clear Title.”
This truck was headed towards a crusher until Carl saved it. He’s not sure what he’s going to do with it, but he felt there was too much value to have it crushed. Note the custom wheel creation.
“Here are the pictures of the 55 Willys as I found it in a scrape metal collectors yard, it has its original running Super Hurricane engine 4 wheel drive components, head lights, park lights and dash all in tack, 20″ wheels were welded to the original 16’s and it spent the last few years hauling fire wood in rural Newfoundland. It had been abandoned and was set to go to the crusher when I found it and hauled it home. Not sure at this point what I will do with it, it’s safe for now.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
This looks pretty good for only $1200. No indication as to why it needs a new tranny.
“1962 Willys Pickup 4X4. 305 chevy engine, Needs transmission.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(03/31/2010) It is good looking. It needs some odds and ends, though nothing to suggest the importance of these items.

Here’s an unusual find.
“How about this boys! A 1956 Willys with backhoe. Someone said it is a factory military, is it? I don’t know, you tell me. Flat head 6 cylinder, 3 speed trans., 4 wheel drive. It runs and drives BUT has no brakes. I have a rebuilt master cylinder for it. The backhoe works great. Need to replace some hydrolic lines but it works the way it is. She is a rare one boys! Bring $5000 cash please-NOTHING LESS-and a trailer and she’s yours! ”
UPDATE:Was $2500. **Status Unknown**
The body doesn’t look too bad.
“UNMOLESTED !!! All original 1955 Model # 6-226 4×4 SW 54168 Willys Station Wagon 4 Wheel Drive 32,492 original miles. Original 6 volt system. Garage kept most all these years. Recently licensed and on the road. I drive it around most every weekend
Well researched pedigree – Purchased new in 1955 by Frank C. Moore, Lt Governor of NY from 1951 to 1953 for use on his Great Camp in Indian Lake, NY. Kept at the great camp from ’55 to 1985 then transferred to a groundskeeper in 1985-ish. Then sold to another individual around 1987 or so. Then sold to a fellow in Canadice, NY. Then sold to me. I’ve had the truck since early 2007.
Runs very well. Body o.k. obviously a bit of rust but solid and stable. Brakes are good although they must be pumped. Frame as good or better than most you will find Roughly 3,000 miles on new non-direcitonal military style tires. Gauges work. New plastic gas tank.
There might be some value here. The engine looks good and it has posi in the rear.

Brian ran across the seller of this truck while in town. Brian reports that “The paint is not that good. The painter did not paint the engine compartment and so on/lots of mistakes in it. The stake bed is nice, but could use refinishing. Frame looks good.”
