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 .
There may be some value here. According to a reader, “It was owned by his grandfather and left outside. Tub is gone but he doesn’t state how gone. A new front floor plan my be all it needs. Don’t know if it is locked up or not. No title.”
“I have 2 Willy’s jeep’s for sale. One is a ’42 which does not run but can be used for parts or as a project. It has all the running gear, front and rear axle, tranny and t-case, both drive lines, i do not have title for this jeep. The other jeep is a ’46 this jeep run’s i converted it to the 12 volt system with a new alternator, battery, coil, and resistor. It has new plugs, and wires, new clutch, throw out bearing, pilot bearing, pressure plate and re-surfaced fly wheel. It also has a new steel fuel tank and tie down strap, new 12 volt headlights, wiring, ignition switch and headlight switch. Jeep starts right away, you can jump in and take it for a cruise. 4 wheel drive works great, really low geared if you know these jeep’s. it does need seats. I have seat frame’s but they need cushion’s. I’m asking $1000.00 obo. Contact me on email or @ 795-2393. I will be posting pic’s of the running jeep soon.”
“Stunning example of a 1955 Willys Wagon. No expense spared when rebuilding this Willys. 15 thousand in chrome, trim and paint. Rebuilt engine and transmission.
Original, except for the disc brake conversion to the front brakes and the radial tires. Making the Willys about 100% more road worthy.
Started with a rust free Washington State Willys. Removed all the body trim and went to work. Added some trim to the vehicle and sent all the chrome and trim to be de-dinged and replated. Finishing touch and Calco did the work. Painted the vehicle after all metal was checked.
The interior is as it was 60 years ago. Seats have been resewn in part and the wood slats were restained. I had to install a new head liner and visors, just too far gone.
If you lift up the front seat, it looks brand new, untouched from new, just amazing. No radio and still the original 6 Volt system. Original oil bath air cleaner. Both seats.
Everything works as new, 4X4, transmission, engine, lights, brakes, steering, good glass all around, etc.”
“New starter and distributor with a conversion of 6 volts to 12 volts. It has a flat head 4 cylinder engine complete. Dashboard instruments and extra gas tank it’s a must see. ”
UPDATE: Mitch notes the center hole might not be big enough to accommodate a jeep hub. You’ll want to double check this. This is a great price. Pic in ad.

Steve spotted this great article about a jeep owner who decided to build a teardrop trailer for his rig. Alan Johnson wrote the article as part of the premiere issue of Cool Tears and Tiny Campers Magazine, a magazine devoted to small campers.
The more I look at these, the more one of these might be a good solution for our trip back east. I guess I’ll need to share this idea with my wife.
