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: Was listed at $3000
“1956 Willy Jeep 4×4 with Backhoe. 6 cylinder flathead engine 3 speed. Runs, drives, backhoe works. Needs brake work-no brakes. Driver side floor board weak, but very solid body.”
Now that would be sweet to have! Bet it sells quick.
How this peach is still available is beyond me!!!! That is the real deal backhoe on this thing .Not a homemade special .If I were closer it would be in my collection of factory approved cool stuff!!! This piece is right up there with the canfield wreckers , welders, sickle bars , etc etc .
Last Sat Ed dropped the the price to 3000. More in my price range so I jumped on it. Plus it was only 20 miles away. Picked it up this evening. Man that thing is heavy.
Congrats Dave. I’ve updated the post. I’ll bet it is heavy! Have fun,
– Dave
My Dad and Unclle bought that backhoe brand new in 1956 they went into business digging partime while they worked at 3m. would like to see it again and get some pictures lots of memories from this
More than welcome to come and look at it. Would like have what history you have on it. Live near Mora Mn.
Greetings from Maine, Dave. My buddy Mike here in Smithfield is almost finished one of these Schenecker Willys Jeep Backhoes. Dave and Ann visited it when they were here. You two guys should compare notes. I think we’ve only heard of a couple others in existence
