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 .
“I have a 1940’s Willy Jeep truck with the original box engine, and most original parts, only slight coastal rust. Also there is another body (most parts missing) I am trying to get rid of. Ask for photos, 10000 for both, OBO”
“1956 Willys pickup with a post hole auger on the back. PTO drivin off the transfer case to a PTO gear box on the rear of the pickup. Has a 250 inline 6 Ford and a Ford 3 speed adapted to a Dana 18 transfer case.
Pros
-runs, drives, operates and digs holes
-rewired ignition and battery cables
-New plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coil, fuel filter, fuel lines, altranator, air cleaner, oil change, belts, starter, exhaust to down pipe gasket, exhaust & muffler, gauge set, battery, and more
Cons
-lots of rust
-previous owner patched the frame in many places
-lots of jimmy rigged stuff
-radiator has small leak. Does not overheat
-no brakes
-it’s ugly
-no title/off road use only
Overall it works well but it’s ugly and nasty. Price will go up as I keep fixing/replacing parts.”

“52 Willy’s Jeep. Clear title. Rolling chassis needs new body tub. New frame and body parts. Original transmission and front/rear ends. New suspension, wheels, tires, steering box etc. Buick iron V6 at engine builder. Finish motor yourself or have him build to your spec.”
(03/18/2018) This runs and drives, but could use some polish.
“1954 Willy’s Pickup, 4 Wheel Drive, 134 F head engine, converted to 12 V, Runs down the road without a problem, has turn out hubs, recent brake work and rebuilt carb. Some rust in the cab corners and bed. A variety of spare parts and wheels included.”
I didn’t learn a whole lot about this truck, but apparently in 2015 this truck cruised the west coast as some type of grassroots(?) marketing venture for Nordstrom. Multiple photos of it are shown on a marketing site called “Out Cold”. I think “Out Cold” leases/rents the truck for events?

“I’ve enjoyed my Willys pickup but time to move on to another project. Selling this great truck for someone else to enjoy. It’s 4-wheel drive and has a 327 Chevy 5-speed under the hood. Runs well and has been maintained regularly. Most recently changed the brake master cylinder, mounted a remote brake reservoir, replaced the started solenoid and replaced wipers. Winner of Best in Class award at the 2017 Bastrop car show.”
“3 willys trucks, the green and white truck has a Chevy small block motor the other 2 are just body, frames, etc… I also have a set of rear fenders.
I have a title for 1 of them the other 2 are just parts trucks.
I had purchased a 4×4 tahoe rolling chassis with title that I had plans to put one of the willys body on (wheel base is within an inch of being the same) that you can take with the trucks if you want.”
