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.
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 $2000.
This Parkway Conversion wagon looks like a good price.
“Clean title in hand
Good engine
Good transmission”
Hmmm… wonder what the story is. In a random parking lot somewhere? Looks to be a good price for a rig assuming it spent its life in a desert climate.
what’s the difference between a parkway, and a willys/kaiser made Jeep traveller? Bill Norris has the cover article in the current VT on the traveller, but visually, I don’t know if I can tell the difference.
Hi Bob,
Here’s what I’ve learned. It’s to tell the difference from the outside since both the Parkway Conversion and Traveller were made by cutting holes for windows in a high-roofed, slab-sided Delivery.
From the outside: a 4×4 Traveller has a rear diamond plate step above the bumper, a roof rack for the spare tire, and an optional second fuel tank behind the driver. A Parkway has none of those. Also, a Traveller is supposed to have sliding side windows (similar to a wagon), although my ’64 Traveller does not and instead has the fixed single pane glass of a Parkway.
From the inside: a Traveller has the flat-topped rear wheel wells that allow for the sideways-mounted rear jump seats as seen in the VT article. A Parkway has regular rounded wheel wells and no jump seats.
Years: Travellers were only made 1960-1964/5; Parkways were made throughout the run.
Production: Travellers were made at the factory (maybe a different one?); Parkways could be converted either at the factory or at the dealer.
It’s funny; they both are easy to spot initially from a distance, when your mind asks “why does that Willys Wagon have rear barn doors instead of a tailgate?” Trying to figure out the specifics then gets a little tough unless you can see inside near the back seat area.

Being down in El Paso, TX, there could be a possibility that this was a former US Border Patrol Jeep. Growing up on the Mexican border in Arizona in the late 50s and into the 60s, we saw bunches of those Parkway Jeeps, painted light green with the USBP insignia on the front doors. Some of them had brooms mounted on the rear to sweep the border road clean and to see if any foot prints crossed since the last time through.
