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 $2500.
Intrepid, on-the-go remote reporter Benjamin found a couple of jeeps in Williston, ND. You’ll have to call the phone number to find out more info. Thanks Benjamin!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
The seller knows the front gear ratio, but not the back. That’s some honesty, but ya have to wonder why? The drive train sounds good if you need a crawling truck.
“Chevy 400 inch small block V8. Aluminum manifold w/Holly 4 barrel carb. Headers with new Flowmaster dual exhaust. SM420 4speed. 7.05:1 low gear. Modle 18 t/case w/Warn Overdrive New rear drive shaft. Ford 9″ rear axle, ratio unknown. Original Dana 27 front axle, 4.88:1 ratio w/posi. Saginaw power steering. Project with alot of potential.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
Here’s an example of a truck on a suburban frame. Trucks sure get put on all kinds of different chassis’s!
“Have a 1962 Willys truck that has been put on a 1978 suburban frame, So it has a 400 engine with 350 transmission, power steering, 6 inch lift, 35 inch tires. Has guages and new seats, dual exhaust, the body has durabak (Rhino Line) inside and out black and orange. Automatic transmission, Runs really good and is huge, gets looks everywhere.”
UPDATE: Still Available. The seller now notes this is not road worthy.

It’s a bit dirty, but it might be worth a look. It appears in good shape. I wonder if those terra tires are included.
“restored, warren bumper winch, rear rumble seat, original flat head hurricane 6 engine restored, garaged at Forest Lakes, AZ last 15 yrs. $5000 obo”
Here’s a nice truck spotted by George that I believe is located in the UK.
“A few years ago, Dean [ed note: current owner?] asked Paul Barry at Willys America in Cazadero, California, to restore the truck for use as a promotional machine for his quarry. He wanted it mostly original and usable as a daily driver.
The truck body needed quite a lot of minor restoration, but basically it was sound and in good shape. However, the bed was another story. The Spicer transfer case with two levers mounted in the floor, swings power out to a Spicer 25 front axle and a Spicer 53 rear axle. Both axles have 4.88 gearsets. Built on a conventional 118-inch wheelbase chassis with Ross steering, multileaf springs, single action tube shock absorbers, drum brakes and 16-inch steel wheels capped with LT235/85 R16 mud and snow tires, the Jeep truck was almost as simple as a Model T Ford.
The Jeep also features a matching side-mount spare on the bed. Attached to the Tornado six-cylinder engine is a T-90 three-speed floor-shifted manual transmission, which in turn uses a Warn All-Range Overdrive and a two-speed Spicer 18 transfer case. The Jeep truck was a very practical setup and its basic nature surely helped make it the do-the-job work truck it was known to be.”

(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.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Looks nice.
“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.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** for $10,500
“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.”
