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 .
Dan forwarded be this Traveller information, which has proved helpful for me. Dan also took some a picture of Paul Berry’s 2WD Traveller, which you can see here (you can see all the pictures here, but you’ll need to scroll 2/3s of the way down the page).
Yes, the readers of “Finding Virginia” now span from the Northern reaches of Norway, thanks to Even, and to the Southern region of South Africa, thanks to Claus. There are even a few books at points in between the two!
Even wrote to tell me he was sharing his copy of my book with a friend of his named Reider Haugen. He added, “Reidar is among many Jeepers in Norway that keep himself updated with Ewillys every day He is also one of the members of Flatfender Fellows here in Norway. I brought my sample of “Finding Virginia” for him to have a look as you see from the picture.
Reidar is almost done with his very nice Willys Utility Delivery with a GM engine and some Scout parts underneath. This is going to be a nice daily driver next to his Willys Pickup Truck sporting a Volvo engine. Remember we are close to the Swedes . . .
In the middle you can see my Jeep Cj-7 Golden Eagle that I have owned for excactly 24 years today.
Now you know how far your book has spread around the world! We both wanted to thank you for the best webpage ever for us Jeep-enthusiasts”
Thanks guys, I love the picture!
Glenn spotted this unusual wagon. It is supposed to have a Mercedes diesel engine. Apparently, some type of Advanced Adaptor part was used to mate the engine to the tranny.
“1950’s spilt window Mercedes diesel engine runs good!”

One of the arguments for the Parkway conversion is that the delivery wagon “can now be registered as a suburban vehicle, which grants it access to boulevards and other zoned sections where commercial vehicles are not allowed.”
Anyone know how restrictive this zoning was?

“this is a Project .but it is a good one to do It is very rare hard to find, this is a 48 willys delivery pannel van.no motor or tran, Ihave all the glass and other parts,Selling it for $3000 or best ofter or trade”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.
It looks to be a project still.
“First year of the delivery. Body is original, needs quarter panels which I have.
It has a Buick 455/Turbo 400. Mustang ll front end which is all new. This Willys sat in a garage for 15 yrs, engine turns freely.
Use it as a street rod or buy a rusty old Willys and put this body on it

This looks in good shape.
“These 47 Sedan Deliverys are hard to find, especially in this condition. This vehicle is an older hot rod that has a 1964 Chevrolet 327 c.i. 4bbl. with a Turbo 350 transmission and B&M shifter. This power feeds a 57 Chevrolet 3:56 positraction rear end. This panel has power steering and power disk brakes on front from a 72-76 Camero. Has Steward Warner gauges and tach, updated upholstery and good tires. Tires are 14” front and 15″rear with beauty rims and baby moon caps. It still has the planar front suspension wih the transverse leaf spring and needs new shocks, which are redily available. This is an older hot rod that has many updates incorporated into the running of this vehicle. The paint shows a little wear and it needs a new passengers side windshield and door window as seen in the pictures. The side windows have been updated to one piece with the removal of the stationary vent windows. This vehicle is licensed until May of 2013 and is comletely road worthy. Drive it while you refresh the cosmetics and enjoy the “hot summer nights”. Asking $6800 but open to offers. No trades and I have plenty of projects. Call Hap at (559) 960-6771. I will not respond to text so don’t waste your time, call if your really interested.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
This sounds like a solid panel wagon, though needs some TLC.
“1948 Willys Overland Panel Delivery Hot Rod, truck has a 440hp motor with performer heads, cam, timing gear and intake, 3″ exhaust, too much to list come check it out price is firm but will consider intersting trades that are older than 1970. No Tire Kickers, this is an old truck, looks like an old truck, needs some tlc like an old truck”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was available for $5000.
(07/31/2012) Glenn spotted this Delivery Wagon.
“Here is your chance to buy a very rare vehicle. Up for sale is a 1948 Willys Sedan Delivery 4 wheel drive. As you can see by the pictures this Willys is in good shape. Has rebuilt 226 I-6 flathead with 5,000 miles on it. I have owned this vehicle since 1985.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000
(02/13/2012) One runs and one is a parts vehicle.
“I’ve got two Willys Jeep Station Wagons for sale. I’d like to sell them as a package for $3500. The ’57 (red) runs, the ’58 (green) was bought as a parts car but there is enough extra parts to build it also. If you’re looking for a project with real classic looks, this could be it! Both are Hurricane flathead 6cyl, with 3spd tranny, 4WD and I’ve got the transferrable registrations for both in my name. I’ve just got too much on my plate, so I need to deplete the fleet a little. If interested, Call Joe at (516) 996-6820”
