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 .
Published in the U.S. for 96 years, under a few different names, Argosy was a sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly Men’s literary magazine with topics and purposes that varied over its existence. Always literary, sometimes totally fiction and sometimes part fiction, part fact and, near the end, soft porn. I’ve never personally read the magazine, but Bob found the issue with the cover below and forwarded me the link to the image shown below. Wikipedia notes that at one point, Argosy was associated with “the men’s adventure pulp genre of “true” stories of conflict with wild animals or wartime combat”. In the case of the issue below, I think it managed to combine ‘wartime’, ‘conflict’ and ‘wild animals’.
“i have a 1948 jeep willys that has a clean title and is all original except the old gm engine in it. it had good frame and drive train need a tub really that it. would make a cool little toy for the woods or street $650 obo”
“Meyer plow set up off my 63 Willy’s Jeep, may fit others. Plow has an electric winch assembly that was working when I removed from my jeep. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.”
This seems a bit pricey given the condition of the project.
“1950 willy’s truck cab that is chopped with custom built box frame. Speed way drop front axle kit. Rear semi elliptical springs and original willys axle. Needs steering set up has reverse corvair mount and steering link. May consider trade for Amc car or jeep wagoneer, fox body, some ford or a built sbchevy engine. Want to get something equal value. I have a title but it needs to have an id plate made for it. Email if interested, thanks shawn”
This is a running CJ-5 with an old school top (very hard to find), nice rims, new fenders, v8 and sm465. This might have some good value.
“This is my 1963 Jeep CJ-5. It has a Chevy 350 v8 engine with a Chevy sm465 four speed with granny low manual transmission, Dana 18 transfer case connected by an Advance Adapter conversion adapter. It have custom made driveshafts, a 4 inch trailmaster lift and shocks with Conferr 1.25 inch lift shackles. It has stock rears with 5.38s in them and a dana 44 out back. The transfercase was lowered using a Rancho lowering kit. The steering has been updated but needs to be finished to use a saginaw box and a gm column. The engline and trans were rebuilt with low miles years ago but its been sitting for ten years and needs some going over. The clutch is brand new and doesnt have a mile on it. All the brake and fuel lines have been re run and are new. It has headman headers with glasspacks. Exhaust needs to be finished. it will need the clutch to be hooked up to the pedal and a radiator. There is no grill in the pick but I have one with no rot. The floors have been replaced and there is no rot on the body. The body was off of a 75 I believe. The fenders were new replacements . It has a poly replacement gas tank. It will need a master cylinder and booster. It has custom skid plates under the ubolts. Mustang Seats. A very rare bestop fastback top in very good condition. I have a dash with all the gauges in it that goes with it. The tailgate was replaced but has some minimal surface rust. Diamond plate rockers are included. She is sitting on 35 inch bfg mud terrains on American racing Outlaw Rims. Tires are dry and will need replaceing. This Jeep is near completion and will make somebody a great project. I just dont have the time to finish it right now. Feel free to ask any questions. Matt Wrangler not included lol”
The seller has attempted to be honest in noting that while it might look similar to a Maverick Wagon, that look was not original. That said, the suggestion of using NADA as a guide for pricing this suggests the seller may have an unrealistic price in mind.
“1960 Willy’s Jeep Rear Wheel Drive Station Wagon / 83,000 Original Miles / MUST SELL BEFORE 1-20-10 FOR BRO
• 83,000 original miles
• Original 4 Cylinder Flat Head Engine

Third owner, in excellent restored condition until stored outside on dry asphalt for four years. He now needs a new home where he can have the following:
• Valve job
• Repair of a leaking brake line and a new battery
• Replacement of lower door panels, rocker panels, the hinge and skirt for the lower tail-gate, the body mounts … all readily available at reasonable cost
• A fresh repaint
In the last picture you will see Willy as he appeared prior to going into storage … and to return him to that condition … the above is all he needs to keep his next family smiling for another 20+ years.
Look at Willy’s low original mileage, his excellent condition above the rocker panels, and the NADA values and other Jeeps on the internet … then make a reasonable offer … and Willy can be yours!”

(01/09/09) It looks like there might be some rust on the driver’s side, but hard to tell for sure from the pic.
