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 .
Mike shared this wagon. It needs some body work (see pic of rear wheel well), but runs and drives.
“The wagon runs great. Brakes work fine, also. This wagon is very complete and original, but it needs some attention everywhere. The drivers window is broken. There are rust issues with the floorboards and rocker panel supports. I have started replacing some of the support brackets but needs more work.
New Virginia title. I have not retitled the car in Maryland. Car is located in Maryland.”
“1960 willys jeep wagon 4×4 with chevy small block and overdrive auto trans. from CA. very solid, runs drives good, not a highway vehicle. 50mph is what it likes, or about there, no speedo. looks wise I call her a 50/50 50ft or 50 mph. I have all the mouldings for the sides and some other parts. check it out, if your interested call me or send message to cl and I will get back to you. scammers need not ask for my email.”
Mike spotted this modified Traveller for sale out of Texas. The serial number put this at only 7 units later than Scrambleer’s (Dan) Orange Traveller (see his wagon at the lower part of this 2014 post). Given it is so heavily modified, it would make a good platform for doing something creative. It would surprise me if this was a former Border Patrol vehicle (but I see no gov plate).
Looks in good shape. It looks worthy of better pics.

Ivan shared this rare jeep. It is a former fire jeep-wagon. It was likely part of a limited production model either from some Willys-licensee in Europe or a third party. It’s priced at 45,000 Plish Zlotych which equates to about $19,500 USD.

This wagon has some rust and damage in the rear, but otherwise appears in decent shape. It might be worth a look.

Dave’s been trying to figure out some wagon seats he has, but he’s got one seat that he can’t identify (he isn’t sure it belongs to a wagon).
He writes, “I do have one seat that I don’t know about. Thinking it’s a jeep seat as I got with other jeep stuff but that’s no guarantee. 32” wide. Non folding. Some of original brackets cut. Believe that part of rear bracket is original. Threaded holes into uprights.”
Here are some pics:
Meanwhile, Dave was investigating wagon seat differences in general. Neither of us could locate a good source of information on the differences through the years. However, using some of his wagons, he was able to surmise the following. Can anyone provide additional details on the seat differences or point to a good source??:
Per Dave, “Drivers seats are approximately 32” wide, on sliders. Early wagons did not fold (I only have a ’49 with which to compare). Some slightly later wagons driver seats do fold, but I don’t know when that stopped.
Passenger seat seems fairly consistent all throughout, about 15″ wide, long legs fold and tumble. Intermediate or rear narrow seats also about 15” wide, shorter legs fold and tumble.
Wide rear or intermediate seats as stated in parts book, 25” wide. Early ones were non folding, rear legs stab into floor brackets. Maybe also before mounting change became folding. Later fold and tumble.”
“This Willy’s is in superb condition Completely original untouched never restored runs and drives excellent mine are paint touch up as needed for maintenance has original muffler on this car see you at the car show at the track I’ll be in the corral entertaining reasonable offers”
