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: Price dropped to $19,900

“1948 Willis Overland Express 4wd. Ford 289 engine, stock manual 3 speed and transfer case. Full service on everything. New brakes, lead springs, shocks, tires, axles seals, heater, battery, side window glass, rear door seals. The lettering on the side is stickers and can be removed. There’s more I’m forgetting. Runs great/strong”
Neither have engine or trans, but the green wagon looks like a promising restoration or run as is once engine/trans installed project.

“Two 1961 Willys Wagons, Green one is very complete minus motor and trans, has rust but has Idaho title. Orange one is a much better body but is lacking motor, trans and interior. Has some paperwork, but no title. Have both ft & rear bumpers and a spare dash. My plans were to build one from both donors. Plans changed. $6500 for both:
Andy shared this San Juan Scenic Tour-like chopped wagon.

This fancy wagon is a mobile bar as well. It looks like it may have a set of Cutlas Bulldog hubs.

“Collectible & Art-Antique 1950 Panel 1964 Chassy Needs Restoration”
UPDATE: I found what I believe is another Israel Kaiser brochure which highlights the Compact Tender design. This truck looks more like a modified wagon than a truck. The bed does not appear independent of the cab.
=================
Original Published Dec 05, 2010: Congrats to Or who spotted some information from a “Kaizer-Ilin Industrys Ltd” marketing document at the Israel Cars forum. He and I have both searched for any official piece of evidence that the vehicles we were seeing were really produced and this represents the first step in that process. We still don’t know how many were produced, nor how many years they were produced, nor in how many countries they were produced (though they have appeared in both Israel and the US).
The document below is from 1963. Or translates it the following way:
1. Tender Willys
2. “Station Car”
3. Compact Tender
4. c’hamp 1963
Moreover, Or spoke with some of the folks at the Israel Cars forum and discovered that the Compact Tender is built on the Panel/Wagon frame (104.5″ wheelbase) rather than the long pickup frame (118″ wheelbase).
Thanks to the guys at the Israel Cars forum for posting this Ad:
