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: **SOLD** Was $4000
Appears to have some rust on the driver’s side. Missing the windshield.
“1947 Jeep Willys- 4 cylinder flat head. Originally transmission.”
It’s a project.
“For sale is a 1951 Willys CJ-3A Jeep completely disassembled and ready for restoration. Motor and transmission were working when disassembled. The tub is very rusty but would be good for parts. 134 cu in Go Devil 4 Cylinder Engine, 3-speed Borg Warner T-90 Transmission, Dana 18 Transfer Case, Dana 25 Front Axle and Dana 44 Rear Axle. Everything is there except the fuel tank. There is no title for a vehicle of this age in Alabama. I will sell the Engine, transmission and transfer case separately for $1000. I can load everything on a trailer if interested the pallet rack is not included in the sale. Call or text for more information. If I do not answer please leave a message. Serious Inquiries Only Please.”

No pics. Sounds like an incomplete project with a new body.
“new jeep body with frame,axles,transmission,transfurcase, power steering lots of extras.
3500.00 o.b.o.”
Lots of work left in this Wagon/S-10 project. Glass and body exterior look good.
“This listing is for a rare 1948 Willys Jeep Overland Station Wagon. This vehicle will make one great street rod, no doubt about it. The Jeep currently has no motor but the engine bay is plenty large enough for any size motor you’d like to drop in. It needs new door glass. The body is sitting on a mid-80’s model Chevrolet S-10 pickup frame. The body work is ~80% complete. This vehicle is being sold as-is. Please contact me with any questions you have about this vehicle. The buyer will need to pickup the vehicle, I do not provide shipping. This is quite a rare vehicle and a true collector. You won’t find another like it.”

I found these docs on eBay. They are basic pricing sheets for the DJ-5 and DJ-6 (non mail-jeep looking versions). Though I don’t see specifics, I think these used the T-96 tranny.
UPDATE: **Sold** Was $15,000.

Looks good. The interior “diamond plating” on the ceiling is actually thin plastic sheets cut to fit the side panels and headliner.
“According to Willys records, less than 12,000 wagons were produced in 1959. All were powered by the Super Hurricane 226 Cubic Inch inline 6-cylinder flat head engine. Combined with the 3 speed manual transmission, this drive train produced a neck-snapping 115 HP and could almost reach 55 mph down hill with a tail wind. These wagons came in both the two-wheel and four-wheel drive models and were designed for strength and durability, not speed.
It is difficult to find any of these vehicles today. For the most part, those that do exist do not resemble the original. Most have been subjected to the “improvements” of a high-powered engine and transmission swap.
This rare example has seen restoration efforts by 3 successive owners since 2008. Each has added his or her contribution but no effort has been made to change the original 58 year-old powertrain.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500
“This Willy’s is just right for running as is or a restoration project. 100% complete plus lots of parts to go with it. Full body diamond plate body protection. No Rust.
Stock axles and transfer-case, overdrive and t-case, with a 350 SBC conversion under the hood. Motor has aprox 20K miles on it.
This one looks in good shape. Barry spotted it. It almost looks like the rear wheels are larger than the fronts. It must be an optical illusion?
“I am selling my 52 Willys overland, frame off restoration with a little over 23k mileage. Runs and drives really nice, very fun to drive. I have too many projects and need to let this one go. I will consider trades for running drivable Camaro, Chevelle or an 87 Monte Carlo SS hardtop. ”
