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 $2400
“Parade special, 1952 willys wagon, current registration, recent upholstery, new paint, tires, stock running gear, locking front hubs, all in good running condition. ( 2400- O B O )”
UPDATE: Sold for $8k.
This appears all original with a few tiny blemishes.
“1961 Willys Jeep Utility Wagon, 4 X 4 – Jeep is very original, 6 cylinder Super Hurricane, 3 speed, original interior, 1 repaint (original color) – has 5 Goodyear work horse 700 X 15 LT tires in good shape, spare is still new. All lights including headlights, brake lights, signal lights and tail lights work as does the emergency brake and wipers. Previous owner owned it since 2002 and has maintained it very well. Have many receipts for oil changes, tune ups, transmission rebuild, reseal transfer case, replace exhaust, tires, rebuilt carb., new clutch, new front and rear springs and bushings, etc. Hard to find one this solid that runs and drives this good. Previous owner states 92,000 miles are original and that he was the third owner.”
It looks like this might clean up pretty nicely (for the buy it now price of $1,395).
“This is an awesome original example of in all original condition with everything there. It was taken out of service due to charging issue in 1997 and stored. Can be road ready with very little TLC or do the complete restoration. There is light surface rust at the roof gutters, rear wheel openings but other than that it is a very nice California Willy’s. I have a number of projects going and have to move my shop so it must go.”
This might make a good project. The body sure looks good from the front.
“Classic restored, non running; no title can get 1; complete. just blows blew smoke; stored covered 4 8 years; Let me amke you a deal. 801 689 6547”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3600.
Lots of pics of this wagon.
“This is the Willys Jeep that we have for sale. It is a 1951 2WD wagon & it still has it’s original L-Head (Flat head) engine. It has a new hwad gasket & ARP head studs. It also has a slightly more modern carburator. The transmission is the original 3-speed & it is equipped with the optional factory overdrive. The tires are new. The paint looks nice from a reasonable distance (I painted it & I am not a professional by any means) The seats have been redone & so has the headliner. If you are looking for a runnig classic to really turn some heads (& tinker with a bit) – this is it! now keep in mind it’s 57 years old & requires a bit of attention. :)”
UPDATE 3: The eWillys Israel bureau is hot on the trail of the ‘Tender’. Another set of pics was accompanied by the following update.
Here’s what he Googled in Hebrew: “A man named Efraim Eilin had a vision of an Israeli car industry. In 1950 he made partnership with Kaizer Enterprises and in 1951 he opened the Kaizer-Eilin assembly plant. The plant[S] made more then 100,000 cars [Kaiser Frazer, Dofin Renolt, kontesa , Lark Studibaker…] and at some point the plant export was 28% of all the Israeli exports! I couldn’t find info on the Willys except that they made the panel, the wagon and the pick-up [we say: ‘Tender’]. All the body parts were made in Israel in another plant in Israel; so, I guess that the trucks used the low part of the panel/wagon + special design for the back as an original Kaiser-Eilin. The Willys had 2 engines: 2199 cc 4 cylinder and 3770 cc 6 c‘”
And here’s a special Willys Police Wagon (here’s the page for our Hebrew readers):
As I note in the comments to this post, a couple days ago I did a number of searches (and found some interesting truck sites that I will include in upcoming posts), but I found no references to the ‘Tender’ or ‘high back’ trucks. If anyone knows anything about them, please let me know.
I’m attempting to find a website that discusses this Willys/Jeep Truck/Van thingy. My guess, based on our reader from Israel, is that this is an international vehicle.
So far, I have had no luck finding information about it. However, in the process of my search, I did stumble upon a great website about Trucks: JeepTruck.com. There are features, trucks and parts for sale, a comprehensive links page, and more.
This looks excellent and looks very stock. I guess it’s a Wagon night?
“1951 willys wagon 2 wd all original. 98% rust free, rebuilt 4 cyl engine, 3 spd with overdrive, runs great, paint ok. $7,000 or possible trade.”

UPDATE: Sold
This comes with a Warn Overdrive. This might be a good deal if the body rust I see isn’t too bad. It looks stock, except for the 350.
