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. This could be worth a look.
“This is a diamond of an antique auto,barn find original owner kept it in a heated garage.for most of its life,has all maintenance records n original title n owners manual.selling locally also so listing can end anytime unless bid is made.classic time piece.”
UPDATE: Terry pointed out that this same vehicle, a SPEN self-sustaining motion picture unit, appears in a Willys Industrial Equipment book brochure. Here it is below:
Talk about a rare jeep. Anyone ever seen one of these (if there are any left). It’s a specially outfitted jeep for the State Department for carrying the story of America to the world. The first pics below were from a September 1949 issue of Popular Science, while the newspaper article was carried in the Sunday Star on Sunday, April 17, 1949.
Matt shared a link to this auction that includes a wagon, a truck, and a CJ-2A, along with a several belt driven saws.

“I have a 48 Willis Jeep and that is guessing I really don’t know the jeep has been sitting a long time has no tires and rims on it sitting on the ground look to have original motor and trans in it and that’s all I know about it so there’s no questions really I can ask answer for you because that’s all I know if you’re interested I’ll take 1500 for it I mite do some trading what you got?”
“Im selling this beautiful Kia Red Metallic 1949 jeep Willys Overland wagon. It is a great running Willys with everything gone over, replaced, or adjusted this year (2018) with over $7000 in receipts! New speedometer cable, Oil pump and oil lines, Arm rests, door panels, All new fluids, etc. etc. Upgraded to a 12 volt system with under dash fuse box. All new glass and rubber seals, Window channel felt and weather seals. Triple gauge set installed. All paperwork, documents, receipts, and in work photographs will be included as a vehicle history record. A wonderful turnkey driving car.Three on the tree original shift. Original Hurricane flat 4 cylinder engine. The inside has not been redone as that is for the new owner’s thoughts to decide upon. Modified original window wagon. This Willys is not perfect, but for a 1949 vehicle, it is pretty darn nice.”
Andy shared this one. It’s supposed to be a Maverick. That leads to the age old question, what is a Maverick. According to Grover’s site, the Maverick should have a serial number prefix of 58147. Some folks have argued that only the true Maverick was only made in 1959 (and was the first wagon to have a one-piece windshield).
“Willys Mavrick 4×2 Needs work, does not run has Buick V6 engine, standard on the floor. Rear quarters, door bottoms, floors, rockers were done once. Still have rear gate and glass but was converted to delivery doors only for the reason that my dad was “didn’t want to crawl over the gate to get stuff out of the back”. I have original trim to put back on it.I had big plans but life is life, sick of looking at it. Dont know miles on engine or wagon.Was my father’s and was our family car when I was a kid. If your not serious than let’s not waist each others time.”
“This is a western car that was brought East. It is the original body mated to an 83 Ford Ranger chassis and uses the Ford running gear, V6 and automatic. Lots of changes like reversed doors, power windows, electric wipers, power seat, remote door openers, custom taillights, custom bumpers, tinted glass, dual exhausts, custom paint and more. This is a street rod and it is licensed and on the road, driven only in the summer but driven everywhere. It runs along fine on the turnpikes and keeps up with traffic at any legal speed. I am downsizing my collection so I am not interested in any trades.”
