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 .
This has some updates and might have been a forest service wagon.
“Multipurpose Willys Wagon 4 wheel drive. Very unique wagon with 265 Chevrolet small block chevy connected to a T90 3 speed transmission and Dana 18 transfercase.

This includes a second engine and tranny. The jeep has a ventilating windshield and a PTO winch.
“This is a rare 1957 Willys Civilian jeep. What makes it so rare is the type of windshield frame that it came with, and the factory Koenig PTO driven winch. I purchased a little over a year ago with the intentions of restoring it. Just haven’t had the time to start on it. The engine was disassembled and sitting in the rear
Of the tub when I purchased it. I hunted down a good running replacement engine that also had a good transmission connected to it. The running engine and trans is included in the sale of this jeep. The jeep has very little rust and a great patina. It’s a unmolested survivor, meaning it hasn’t had `modifications done to it. It’s never even had a roll cage installed on it. It wouldn’t take much to restore it, or just install the engine and get it on the road again. A Willys in this condition is a rare find.
My research:
This jeep was first sold to a orange grower in the Chino/Corona, CA area and used to drive around and tend to a Orange grove. Some years later a man in the high desert here bought it and
brought it home. He disassembled the engine and let it sit for many years. When he passed away I purchased it from his family.
I have the title. $2,000.00 is what I’ll take for it. Serious inquiries only. No low ballers, The price is firm. Price was just reduced from $2,500.00”

” Eminently restorable steel hardtop and doors from 1967 Jeep CJ6. All glass intact and weatherstripping/rubber in good condition. Door mechanisms work…windows roll up and down.
I’ve restored the rest of the jeep, but this original top is too heavy to put back on. This is a rare piece for the dedicated originalist.
Surface rust on the interior roof, as you see in the picture, but not threatening the metal’s integrity.”
“Got this project passed on to me a few months ago and I just don’t have the time or money to put into it. It is basically a rolling chassis with a few extra pieces and parts. It has the original drivetrain but I’m not sure if any of it works. The front end is all there but fenders will need to be replaced. I just need to get rid of it and get it out of the yard. $500 OBO”
“Here is a 55 Willys Jeep, original 4 cylinder with hi-lo transfer case, warn hubs, Dana 60. Ugly but very solid, only surface rust nothing through. Currently not running, great project for someone else, I have too many”
Paul shared a couple of other recent milestones on his Willys journey.
1. The Throttle Spring: After hooking up the throttle linkage to the carb (a cable system) I realized not only was I missing a throttle return spring but I was also missing a throttle return spring attach point. A trip to the local auto parts store provided me with a selection of different throttle return springs but I was on my own when it came to the spring attach point. More poster paper was sacrificed to make three patterns before I came up with a return spring attach bracket I liked and that would fit without getting in the way of the distributer cap. I made the return spring attach bracket from stainless steel and incorporated a fastener to allow a coil wire clamp to be bolted to the bracket.
Here’s the cable throttle linkage, the throttle return spring, the return spring attach bracket and the clamp for the coil wires. The red on the return spring is dried blood …. I managed to poke myself quite a few times while attempting to curl the spring ends to match the attach brackets and those springs are sharp. Oh well, some folks pay people to poke them with needles and call it acupuncture. All I have to do is go out to the garage and work on the little Willys, there’s always some sharp edged stainless part waiting to cut me before I even realize it. That metal can be mean sometimes.
2. The Front Drive Shaft: The position of the V6 engine made the original front driveshaft too long and the rear driveshaft too short but right now I’m concentrating on the front driveshaft only. I bead blasted the front driveshaft, took the necessary measurements between the transfer case outlet and the front axle attach point and it was time to visit with the local driveshaft guys. After cutting the driveshaft to the correct length it was welded back together, new universal joints installed and then balanced before returning to me. I removed the new u joints, did a quick bead blast cleanup (after removing all traces of the really sticky grease on the splines) and dropped it off to have it powder coated.
The next day the driveshaft was ready to come home so I could reinstall the new universal joints and then bolt this thing on the little Willys. The last time this driveshaft was installed on the little Willys was when it did it’s major meltdown in October of 1985. Wow, I’ve been waiting over 32 years to reinstall this driveshaft. It doesn’t seem it’s been that long but the color (or lack of it) or my hair tells me more than a few decades have gone by. I remember when I was still in my 30’s my hair was brown, not Arctic Blonde (White) like it is now.
Oh well, as much as I tried to take my time installing the driveshaft the four u bolts were quickly tightened and torqued and it was time to find the next to do item on the little Willys.
The front driveshaft is installed on the little Willys for the first time in over 32 years. WOW!
