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 .
Tomorrow is the Moonshiner’s Swap Meet at the Puyallup Fair Grounds in Puyallup, Washington.
TJ is there today (Saturday .. vendors get in early) and spotted what I believe to be Jim’s restored (by Willys America I think) Traveller. It’s a beaut! It looks to be located in the main hall, so if you are there, be sure to check it out.
that TRAVELER is the pinnacle of WILLYS-WAGON-DOM !! the ultimate , great , stupendous , marvelous , expensive and other TRUMP-STYLE-SUPERLATIVES !! .. a couple of issues , that stuff on the dash , the ride height looks excessive and no tornado 230 had a polished ohc cam cover . I have a n.o.s. tornado cam cover hanging on my wall here , un-polished , no traveler to install it on .
Dad rolled one of these circa 1958 just before I was born. His back was crushed, and I always heard the story from my sister, who would hold up the picture of the rolled Jeep, then say it was my fault Dad got hurt, just because Mom was pregnant with me. I laugh now, wondering why I love Jeeps so much. The wagons are just so cool!. The wood slats in the floor remind me of a Kaiser Traveler. What a timeless vehicle.
Yup, that’s Jim’s Traveller. Absolutely amazing.
Also, the “stuff on the dash” is the switch and labels for the second tank, to have the gauge switch over. The actual lever is down in the door next to the VIN plate. You need to move both.
Be still my heart…
That stuff on the dash is for the rare spare factory tank. Not to many of those around.
Thanks for all the nice comments.
Jim – I have a ’63 Traveler with 230, trying to locate a fuel pump or a fuel pump re-build kit. Any ideas? Thanks. Dreaming of mine coming near your standards, but have a long way to go. Thanks.
Dan Krutina,
I have a ‘64 Traveller with the 230 OHC Tornado. I recently sent mine to Gould’s for a rebuilt. They did great work with a quick turnaround. Then-and-Now also has a great reputation.
More info on 230 fuel pump rebuilds here:

’64 Traveller with the 230 OHC Tornado
Thanks Dan B. Since I posted my first comment, I also found “Willys America” in CA. And have already sent mine off to them for the rebuild. It is good to know there are others out there running into the ‘lack of’ 230 parts. I have a long way to go on mine. I’ll keep you and Gould’s in my ‘Roll-a-Dex’ Dan
Dan K.,
That’s great news. Also you may want to check out http://www.OldWillysForum.com. Lots of technical expertise and insight over there including some real 230 OHC experts.
Cheers,
Dan
Thanks, I’ll do it.
