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 .
Robin emailed me the other day asking how rare Willys trucks with tow packages are. Before answering her question, I did some searches to make sure my answer, which was yes, was correct. That’s when I came across these two pictures. One is a beautiful Willys Tow Truck and the other is entirely odd ball.
This is a picture that is being auctioned on eBay:

This is a for sale over at sellajeep.com
“1959 Willys/Jeep pickup, reconditioned to a very clean original body (minor flaws) with updated portions of the running gear. This one is very solid and immediately driveable but would require minor details to thoroughly complete. The engine has been improved to a 302 cubic inch Ford V8 with dual exhaust. It has an updated radio system and floor carpeting. It requires relatively easy things like a headliner, steering wheel cap, and a door handle & door panel, which is included. It is a very appealing color and offers the added horsepower and strength of a V8. It runs and drives well and is ready to enjoy. $7,900 email: rickponti@sbcglobal.net phone: (209) 772-9700″

Power steering,
Power brakes (new master cylinder),
TH400, NP 205 Transfercase,
Ford 9″ rear end and yes its the 31 spline, I just re-did the rear end,

I have a bunch of extra parts that will go with the truck, extra hubs, starter, alternator, rear view mirror, sun visor, belts, gaskets, spare tire carrier, running boards, speedo guages, new wiring kit, etc.
I just had the carb rebuilt and the fuel tanks drained and its running like a champ. Been driving it back and forth from work, its fun! The truck has some rust, dents, leaks, holes, and anything you can think of. If you’d like some pictures I’ll be more than happy to let you take them, in other words if you don’t have the time to look at it I don’t have the time either. Its parked outside my house in Ridgefield, you can come over and check it out anytime.
Will consider trades for a 4×4 quad 500 or greater, 40 hp outboard jet, or dingy/tender with outboard”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
The title on this is interesting (see bottom). It looks like a nice little rig.
“This 1958 willys pickup is no trailer queen by any means but it gets thumbs up and smiles where ever she goes. I think these little Willys pickups and wagons had classic lines from the day they were built. I use this little truck on a regular basis and it’s proven to a great driver and dependable.
The body and paint work on it is amatuer grade. The cab and doors are solid. The doors shut and open nicely and windows roll effortlessly. There are grinder marks and runs here and there but it is all pretty shinny. The paint on the door jambs and interior are pretty nicely done. The passenger bed side and top right rail is the worst area on the truck. I have considered putting new top rails on the bed sides and doing the outside of the flat sides of the bed in oak to make it look like a woody bed. The floor in the bed is in good shape as is the tailgate. This truck has been in dry country so it’s not a rust bucket.
It has a clean little 250 cu in Chevy straight six in it that looks like it was born there. Like a lot of small block Chevys it will puff a little smoke from the valve guides when you start it. Although a mild engine, it is still nearly double the horse power of the original engine and it is suprizingly quick. With that extra power the Warner overdrive works great. It will run 60 mph with no strain at all. The stearing is tight and it goes straight down the road. The T-90 transmissin shifts quick and easy with no problems of grinding or popping out of gear. Clutch is quite and works like it should. The brakes are ok but they have never been anything to write home about on early Jeeps. With the engine convertion they put in a hanging clutch pedal and the matched it with a firewall mounted brake master cylinder and a hanging brake pedal which got rid of the old typical “squawking” through the floor pedals. It has been converted to 12volts. The speedometer, temp, amp and oil presure gauges work. The gas gauge works but reads 1/4 tank when it’s really empty. It has the millitary style lock out hubs that are precise and easy to use”
