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 .
1955 Willys Truck Frame and Drivetrain $450 Centre Hall, PA
Some parts on this one for sure a small lift on price for what looks like a decent roller.
PTO, Timken Rear, 226.
Information from seller:
55 Willys truck frame with engine, trans, tcase w/pto, axles, rad, spare crank. Engine bars over 95% then stops due to what I suspect is a stuck valve. Pick up near 16828
1955 Willys 226 Super Hurricane Engine $600 Caledonia, MI
Oh wow this would be in the back of my truck in minutes. Small Pallet solid top and a 4×4 under the front of the oil pan, strap to the pallet then load and go! Has so much here for 226 folks! No haggle from me on the price.
I can’t really see it but looks like no skid plate on the oil pan so maybe a 2WD Oil Pan, or its there and I just am missing it.
The important life lesson I learned was the bottom of 2WD Willys Oil Pans are not always FLAT, so if you place said engine on the floor they tip to one side! The 4WD skid plates are FLAT and will generally stand up nicely. Be safe out there!
Information from seller:
Run milage unknown out of my 55 Willys truck put in a small block in its place
UPDATE….. Here is the link to the A&A Auto site, I reached out to Nick over there and he got right back to me,
From Nick @ A&A……..
“let me know if you have any questions, it runs great! It’s really cool but I don’t have time to restore it and figured I better send it to a good home.”
Pretty reasonable price for a wagon, it has a lot of nice original parts inside, fairly original. Might be worth a look.
Dealer Listed.

Posted as a 1955 226, no engine installed, but you can make out a very little part of the gauges and the rear gate is split so could be. Has the longer input shaft on T90 for a 6 cylinder, and has the extra shifter so should have a Overdrive with this one, which is a bonus.
Looking inside there are more surprises besides the vintage buckets, the heater box and controls are the later post mid 1962 commonly supplied on the 230_OHC Wagons and trucks, then the later CJ’s had a version of these as well. So they could be of interest to some collectors.
You start adding it up and you have a good little chunk of parts here for sure. I’m not sure you have a break even parting this out when you start adding it all up at the current asking price, but parts are parts.
This is a total project as far as a restoration goes, you are not getting that “out West” rust free start here with this one.
From the Ad:
“It’s a 1955 6-266 Willy’s Jeep Wagon This will be a major restoration project for whoever buys it. It needs alot of fabrication as it has a ton of rust / rot. Serious inquiries only. Title: Vintage [hidden information] Station Wagon Project Car Willy’s Jeep Make an offer. Price is very negotiable! I don’t want to trade. I have too many cars! Condition: Non-running, requires tow; has rust; engine disassembled years ago with various parts sorted in boxes within the car(in pictures) Includes: Original title, owner’s and service manuals, old part receipts. Note: Vehicle hasn’t run in 20+ years. Has been sitting in the SoCal sun the entire time. This is going to be a huge project for whoever buys it. Lots of rust + fabrication needed, if you don’t know how to restore a car then this is not for you!“
