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: Pics added (Thanks Steve). It’s a CJ-5

“1962 Willy wagon with a history! Odometer shows 99964 TMU. This was originally a government car for the Atomic Energy Commission in the early 60’s. Original owner was an engineer with them and bought it when he left AEC. Wagon has been in Colorado for many years. I started Resto but now have no time to finish. Wagon has been Garaged for past 4 years. . Interior door and side panels were warped so I removed them. Most trim removed to get ready for paint (I have all removed trim) I also have seats front and back stored in garage. Drivers seat still in wagon.
UPDATE: I’ve added two newspaper photos to this post about Kent. One shows him signing copies of his autobiography. The other depicts him with a huge walking stick, one I’m sure could come in handy while exploring ‘his’ beloved canyons.
Even today, Kent’s shadow looms large over the area. Just this last week the Moab Museum screened the “My Canyonlands” film about him.

(Originally Published April 2011) Without a doubt, my favorite part about running this website are the unexpected, interesting people to whom I’m introduced (if only virtually). One of those people is Kent Frost, a product of the Four Corners area and whom we caught glimpses of in Alan’s color photos of the 1961 Four Corners trip.
Doug commented on one of the Four Corner posts that he had read a book by Kent Frost called “My Canyonlands”, published in 1971. I’m very happy that Doug mentioned the book, because I ordered it and have enjoyed it immensely. Kent describes all kinds of adventures and early trips into remote areas of the four corners region. He loved to explore and hike, later jeep and river run, and that remote area has given him a lifetime of experiences.
Here’s an odd one.

Vehicle Information
UPDATE: SOLD. Was $30,000.
This is a nice looking station wagon.
“For Sale: Recently completed restoration of a very rare and unique 1949 Willys Overland Jeep Station Sedan. The Jeep Station Sedan was Willys’ entry into the upscale station wagon market in 1948, 1949 and 1950. This vehicle has been restored over a period of seven years to a very exacting standard. Besides beautiful green metallic paint the interior replicates the exact seat and headliner material. Mechanically the engine has been rebuild by Terry’s Engine Service and runs like a sewing machine. There are four new B F Goodrich 6.70X15 wide whitewall tires and new caps and trim rings. New wire harness, new deluxe steering wheel, new gas tank. Clear title. Price: $29,950.00.”
Has potential and a few updates.
