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 .
Dan shared this one: “Definitely a project, but the PTO may make it worth checking out”

I’m sure most know about Classic Auto Mall out in Morgantown, PA. It’s a nice size consignment dealer, looks like they have a 10% commission, my guess is off the sale price, I’ve never delt with them but it looks like a really cool place to visit one day.
This is a nice “driver”, 230 Tornado. I’m partial to these and its actually really nice looking, there are some issues but overall has some neat features.
Factory Air Cleaner
Washer Bag and Nozzle.
It looks like its all pretty much there.
Looks nice.
Bright work is nice.
Trim is all there.
Wraparound rear bumper is nice
Interior is decent.
Things you may need to address.
Rust never sleeps kind of stuff; it’s a driver so looks like you can jump in and go!
Rubber pretty much needs a bunch of rubber stuff.
Springs, need to take a good look probably need to be done.
Leaks, while ingenious they have some cool magnetic drip cans, never seen that before but like a good Willys it marks it spot.
The engine compartment is all there but needs some clean up. Have a couple of weekends and you have a nice driver.
Some glass is older may need some work eventually.
Overall if this drives and stops enjoy it for a season then peck away at these things as time permits.
I have this at a “make an offer” and see if it sticks.
Ken shared his Jeepster with us, while I’ve never met him in person we have interacted on OWF and he is a great contributor over there and has a couple neat long time Willys.
Thanks, for sharing you Jeepster.

How Long Have You Owned Your Rig?
Dad owned at least since 1958, I owned since 1970
Please add some details or a story about your rig, any special places visited or memories with your rig?
Dad’s 49 Jeepster was red in color with the upper in black. The body was remounted onto a Willys pickup chassis that was shortened 14 inches and retained all the original drive train with a Timken 4.88 rear end, T90 with D18 transfer case, a 265 Chevy small block with power brake booster, a PTO driven winch and spare gas tank from 1955-58 truck. It was not the purest of conversions.
This was one of the main vehicles in the family and we used it at the mountain place, in Laramie, and hunting. Dad would go up to various mining claims in the mountains and salvage ore carts, horse drawn winches, ball mill, and other apparatus from the abandoned mines. He would tell me that he was usually in the lead with various 4WD excursions with his buddies and that they were too scared to drive their universal jeeps as fast as he would go in the Jeepster and especially with side hills.
It had bucket seats out of a Corvair I believe. Another anomaly was the hanging pedals out of a 50’s mercury. Even had a hydraulic clutch with a ford slave cylinder and I believe a master cylinder from a Ford.
We rarely had the top down living in Wyoming and the dust and brass zippers, never got along well.
Notes
I partially rebuilt from 73-81, Sold it to my step-daughter in about 1986, then bought it back in about in 2007 I did a full restoration at that time.
Thanks again for sharing this great back story and history on this one!
This looks pretty nice and has some really good looking stuff on here.
Great start for someone’s project.
Seller’s Description
Selling a complete 1961 Willy’s pickup frame and drive train only. It comes with the super hurricane 6 cylinder engine. Some one before me rebuilt the engine I was told. The engine turns over and comes with a new electronic distributor. I do not know anything else about it. It has new tires on it but they are older but not weather checked.
UPDATE….. Here is the link to the A&A Auto site, I reached out to Nick over there and he got right back to me,
From Nick @ A&A……..
“let me know if you have any questions, it runs great! It’s really cool but I don’t have time to restore it and figured I better send it to a good home.”
Pretty reasonable price for a wagon, it has a lot of nice original parts inside, fairly original. Might be worth a look.

Andrew shared his 2021 Jeep. This is a tribute build.
He shares “ it’s not quite “vintage” yet; I try to emulate the classic military Jeeps.”
Thanks, Andrew for sharing your Jeep!

How about a Willys Train, for that person who has it all and is hard to buy for, this thing is neat. Its not going to be for everyone but I would help wrench on it if it was local.
Auction.

1950 Rat Rod Delivery Wagon Golden Valley, AZ $15,500
This posting has expired!
So hear me out on this one, the body work looks legit in the photos, if you’re a fan of yellow that’s a plus, but while not in everyone’s wheelhouse, this is a pretty neat looking ride. My short list would almost to find a nice 230_OHC Wagon Frame and do a body swap then sell the rest, but you may be able to keep the A/C and some other stuff, nice set of gauges and this could be a neat project. Shame it could not be paired up with that 226 Truck frame from above, that could be a slick combination for $17,400 you would have a cool Willys for sure, if you stumble on an original Wagon frame set up. I would look at that RF passenger hood to fender area it looks off for some reason.
