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 .
(03/18/2018) This runs and drives, but could use some polish.
“1954 Willy’s Pickup, 4 Wheel Drive, 134 F head engine, converted to 12 V, Runs down the road without a problem, has turn out hubs, recent brake work and rebuilt carb. Some rust in the cab corners and bed. A variety of spare parts and wheels included.”
“HIS IS A UNIQUE JEEP PICKUP BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE A SNUB NOSE. THE FRONT OF THE RIG IS FLAT LIKE IT WAS HIT IN THE FRONT, BUT WAS JUST THE DESIGN. IT WAS ACTUALLY A VERY COOL LOOKING TRUCK. THE UNIT REQUIRED WEIGHTS UNDER THE BED TOWARD THE REAR SO IT WOULD NOT TIP ONTO ITS NOSE. THIS HAS A 4 CYLINDER ENGINE IN IT AS IT IS BASICALLY A HALF TON AND MOST OF THE FC 170 TRUCKS WERE AN INLINE 6 CYLINDER AS THEY WERE DESIGNED AS A 3/4 TON. IT HAD 4WD AND WAS A STICK SHIFT WITH NO SPECIAL AMENITIES LIKE A/C. Continue reading →
“A very good candidate for restoration, has the original Ford stamped head. This is a WW2 military or US Army USMC US Navy Jeep GPW. I will return a call if you leave your phone number.”
“Never seen one of these items before. Old Leather key Chain from Hunter Motors Alexandria VA. I believe Hunter motors was formed shortly after WWII. Judging by the phone number on the key chain, this probably dates to the 1950’s, Has been in storage for approx 30+ years.”
This looks in good shape, though it does have a few mods. Has anyone ever seen dual tank inlets light the ones on the rear of this jeep? (At least I think those are gas inlets).
(last listed on ebay in Jan 2015) “This is a custom, one-off Willy’s Jeep. It was made for Henry Kaiser, when he retired to Hawaii and became involved in tourism and land development. He had the custom pink long-wheelbase Willys wagon built for exploring the island. Kaiser’s wife loved pink and all of his construction equipment was painted pink, so that seems to be where the pink color for the Jeep came from. This can all be seen on the following web page, along with a photo (which is the black and white photo provided in the photos of the vehicle) of the Jeep in Hawaii : http://cj3b.info/Siblings/SurreyHawaii.html
We also have documentation from the Kaiser Jeep Corporation stating that this Jeep is an authentic one of a kind Jeep. Please only serious inquiries only and please do not try to convince us that we are wrong about it being a one of a kind, this is most definitely not a railroad Jeep. We know what we have and are willing to answer questions of those with serious inquiries about this vehicle.”
====================
The seller claims to have documentation to prove that this is the only four door limo-like wagon made. to Willys Country this wagon was once used as a limo for an airport. Whether there was only one built or remains an undocumented issue at this point. Is the wagon above the same one that’s in the photo below? Hard to say for sure.
This looks like a fun ride. It’s got a ventilating 3B windshield.
