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 $3200

“I am clearing out my dad’s estate and have for sale one ‘53 Willys Jeep Wagon. This is original. No engine changes or aftermarket changes. I mean original as in 6 volt and generator charger. Jeep has 81,050 miles, never really a daily driver. Used mainly for fishing, hunting and then snowplowing my dad’s neighbor’s driveways after my dad retired to the country. Not too much time spent on salted roads. Engine was rebuilt years ago by a professional mechanic (my dad). Machine work was done by Hatch Grinding. They milled the head and balanced the crankshaft to the rods and pistons. The F head engine runs well. The rust on tailgate is lower than I’ve seen on wagons of this age. Also has the original wood guides on the floor. Brakes don’t work right now. We have not been able to remove the master cylinder cap yet. We soaked it in WD 40 and will try again in a few days. Now for the minuses, which I feel are lower than you’ll find on other old wagons. The needs are right fender (bad dents), front bumper, grill needs to be chromed. Glass in some windows is bad. Has extra glass but could be just as bad. And, of course, as any project wagon needing restoring, a complete interior redo. Body is solid with low rust, just a couple of holes, with 1 pin hole under driver’s floor. Jeep comes with extra seats and wheels. A little work and you can drive this while you restore. I can provide 15 high resolution photos to serious inquiries. We must communicate by phone first. Starting this out at $1000. I have 3 months to sell and will lower price in about 3 weeks if not sold. Snow plow parts to be removed unless you want to buy a snow plow also”
ooohhhh hhhhooooo … a nice set of turbine rims. The wagon looks pretty rust free, too.

One vehicle I wanted to highlight from the Wonderful World of Willys Wagons was Charley Crossley’s Wild Willys. I tried to located additional images of it, but the only ones I found were on the WWWW website. I liked Charley’s creativity, so I wanted to make sure readers saw it as well. You can read about Charley’s approach to building this Wagon here. Note the rumble seat in the back!
I was doing a search for Wagon axles when I found this Wagon-based website: Wonderful World of Willys Wagons. It’s got some interesting, funny, silly stuff, including a description of a sprung front wagon clip. There’s a section of trains and jeeps titled Geeps & Jeeps. This site could easily be called the goofy world of wagons.
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $1800.
“I have a 63 Willys Wagon. It has the flathead 6cyl, 3spd trans, and all stock running gear. I was told it had been used in the Army but I have no proof of that. It does have a military data plate on the dash so it was used by some branch of the military early in its life. It was originally highway department yellow. My guess would be that it served on an air field or maintenance department for the Army or Air Corps. It runs and drives great and has a pretty decent body compaired to most of the other wagons I’ve seen. It has stock wheels and fairly new tires. It has the factory wooden slats still in the bed. THE BAD It does not have any brakes, and it has no title but I will provide you with a bill of sale. It was owned by a hunting club in AR and they never titled it. It is possible to obtain a title. Jeep is located in Paducah, KY and I’ll take $1,800 cash for it.”
