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 .
(05/31/2012) This looks good. It has a custom gauge dash.
“Beautiful Willys jeep with a rebuilt 283 engine with less then 50 miles on it. The jeep also has new tires with less then 50 miles, in addition it has anew soft top and doors still in the box. The jeep is in pristine condition, and very clean, it shows no signs of rust. I wish I could keep the jeep, but with a new baby in the family I need a family vehicle. I am set on the price and would rather keep it then budge off the asking price.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. Has an unusual dash.
“PLEASE THIS IS MY SECOND TIME LISTINOriginal Willy Jeep. No reserve auction. 3 speed manual. The car runs and drives. This Jeep was restored in the early 90s. It comes with 2 mechanics books for the specific model which will help if restoring.This was the last year Willy made the Jeeps. It still has the original 6 cylinder Buick engine. Do your history homework. This Willy is more than just a classic its a piece of USA car history. Feel free to call me with any questions. Anthony 917-709-0498. Any one with negative or zero feed back will have to contact me before bidding or your bid will be deleted. Will help ship world wide at buyers expense. Good luck.”
Nice looking jeep. Note the unusual dash. I’d like to see how those look when sitting in the driver’s seat.

Sam, from Flat Fender Willys, has done a large amount of work on this rig, including the installation of a rack and pinion that makes the steering very tight and responsive. This also has a custom dash that tilts forward. Sam would have painted this too, but the seller’s family wanted to keep it mis-matched because they liked the character. If you are interested in a solid, daily driver, this is worth a look.

There are some UNUSUAL Mods on this jeep. Is that a battery box lid on the driver’s side?

(11/17/2011) This is a nice build. I think the thunderbird seat looks good in it. Here are similar flatties.

STORY BEHIND THIS LITTLE JEEPMy buddy is the second owner of the Willys, it’s been in his family since 1967. His dad bought her from a neighbors wife after the original owner passed away. Most of the modifications were done in the 60’s, she’s all original steel and been kept in that 60’s style. The springs and shocks have been upgraded and motor was rebuilt about 5 years ago, the 5k miles is original to the motor and the speedo reflects it. The paint looks very good, there is a few scratches where your feet drag getting in. The body seams were all welded properly, not just covered up and there has never been any body rust. The most off road she’s seen is Deer Hunting, so mainly Forrest type roads and never been wrecked. It’s a great little rig that would make a cool daily driver or weekender.”
