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 .
Steve forwarded this nice wagon. The Owl’s Head Transportation Museum is selling this wagon.
“Model 463. Older restoration. Good condition throughout. A real classic. Fun driver. Price: $12,500”
http://ohtm.org/gallery3/index.php/Barn-Fresh-Automobiles/1948-Willy-Overland-Station-Wagon
This looks pretty good for the price.
“Nearly restored. New brakes, tires, paint, interior etc. Needs upholstering and jumps out of 3rd gear”
http://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/3390356289.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,995
This looks real nice, though for the price I’d expect the engine compartment to be more polished.
“This car is a real ‘head turner’! People love to see it on the street. We get a lot of waves and thumbs-up. The car starts immediately, runs smoothly and drives easily.
Chassis is solid with no rust. Body is in excellent condition. (Minor rust at the bottom of the driver’s door and the bottom of the tailgate – see photos.)
Great color combination with simulated “Woody” scheme.
This Willys Station Wagon is original and complete. Includes the rare rear seat which is often lost or removed from these older cars.
Although very nice, this is not a “concours” car. (I did, however, show it at the Marin-Sonoma Concours in 2011.) It’s a fun driver with a lot of curb appeal.
(It wouldn’t take too much to refine the car to ‘show car’ condition.)
Engine: F-6, 685, “Hurricane” OHV 6 cylinder; 161 cu. in.; 90 h.p.
Transmission: 3-speed with column shifter (with optional electric overdrive)

New Upholstery
New interior paneling
New Headliner
New carpeting
New Glass

Dan spotted this nice looking, stock wagon. It’s listed as a 1959 Wagon in the title of the AD and a 1958 Wagon in the body of the ad.
“1958 willys Wagon 6-226 4 wheel Drive. Super.
Hurricane inline 6 engine
Runs excellent. Ongoing Restoration.
All transmission, transfer case and Axle fluids Flushed and replace.
Over $8,000. invested.”
http://westslope.craigslist.org/cto/3343584994.html
There appear to be some good parts here.
“55 Willys Jeep, 2dr, 4×4, motor stuck, some rust $850 call for more info. 704-682-2652 No Calls After 8pm. THIS IS A PROJECT, IT DOES NOT RUN!! Please read carefully befor calling. Thanks.”

These appear to have some good parts.
“We have (2) 1950s JEEP Willys 4×4 Trucks for sale. One is a pickup and the other a wagon. Both appear to have the original Super Hurricane I6 engines and drivetrain along with most of the chrome and trim. There is surface rust and some rot on both, but they appear solid.”
http://hartford.craigslist.org/cto/3331298449.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,500
“71,000 original miles. 6-226 engine. New clutch, transmission & brakes. Always garaged.”
Here’s a wagon that appears to have the unusual Willys Overland bumper sculpture. I can’t quite make it out clearly to know for sure.
“Family jeep, has been outfitted with winch system and boom for hunting, minor rust, need minor repairs but runs. Also comes with tire chains for snow.”
http://littlerock.craigslist.org/cto/3290965265.html
This wagon has Dan stumped. He writes, “I am stumped what this 1955 wagon is. It has the grill, gauges, etc. of a 1950s wagon, but the panel doors of a Parkway Conversion BUT the sliding windows of a regular wagon. It also is 2×4. If it were a 1960s wagon, I’d chalk it up to WIllys end-of-the-run production variances. Maybe it’s just a special order.”
“1955 Willys Station Wagon. This wagon has a very solid body, body and paint completed 12 months ago. It has a mustang front end which means disc breaks and easy steering.
The engine is a Mopar wide block Polly head 318 with 10.5 to 1 compression ratio,
It runs strong, it was probably out of a 1970 truck. 2 barrel carb for good gas mileage. Not sure what the rear gears are but it cruises fine on the Highway.
Automatic transmission, 747, which was rebuilt two thousand miles ago.
It has very rare ambulance back doors so it is easy to load.
For the last nine years I have enjoyed driving her as a daily driver.
I am asking $14,000”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Needs work. It doesn’t say whether it runs.
“1952 Willys Utility Van. Great Project. All original. Four cylinder. Shift on the column. Priced to sell.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.
“Really nice and mostly original two door Jeep Wagon. Frame up restoration in San Antonio, Tx. 15 years ago. This is a 2 wheel drive classic Willys with original 4 cylinder engine., 3 speed moved to the floor. This has always been garaged and driven sparingly. Please only call if really interested – no dealers or tire kickers”
This was probably worked on by TCs, which is in Kent, WA. This might be a good price.
“Selling the old wagon, engine recently rebuilt by 4×4 Kent Shop, transmission rebuilt, all checks Good and the AM radio works (mostly get the Mariners Game). $5,500 OBO. Thank you for Looking.”

This used to be a Department of Archeology Wagon. It needs a little work still.
“This 1959 Willy’s station wagon, 4X4, flat head, 6cyl., 3 speed, serial no. 39971. This unit was originally owned by the US Government, the Dept. of Archeology. Ten years ago this unit had new quarters and complete paint. It was done in 2 different colors of metallic gray, a darker and a lighter color. Roof and lower portion below the mouldings are the lighter color. It has all new front springs.
I have driven this unit out on the gravels, but never on the highway. 4 wheel drive works, clutch works. Brakes worked when I parked it 10 years ago. They do not today. Might need fluid, don’t know. I got this unit out yesterday, I put battery in it and gas, and drove it out of the building. When this unit was put away I added 2 gallons of diesel fuel to the gas and let it run so it would not stick any valves in the flathead engine. This Willy’s has all of its stainless steel trim inside of the truck.
It also has all of the other extra chrome pieces. Has original seat for the driver. I believe I have the other seats, don’t know for sure. Pretty sure they are in a storage building in town, have have to look. Have the oak wood strips for rear floor. Tailgate for truck is in back of truck. It is painted and done. I have a newer style replacement bench seat for the front that I was going to install. It has good radial tires and spoke wheels. The exhaust is complete. I have all the windows and trim moldings and inside moldings for the truck. They were taken out when it was painted.
Doors fit nice, open and close nice. Windows roll up and down. Has cracked glass on driver’s door. Windshield good. When this unit was repainted and quarters put on, it was not going to be a show vehicle. There was some rust in floor pans and have been repaired good enough for normal use and are solid and sealed up. I do not have time to finish this. After if was painted, I parked it and have lost interest in it. It would be a good project and a very different vehicle if someone wanted to complete it. It is not over-priced and they are getting very hard to find. This unit has a Minnesota Title.
I would consider trades on something of interest. If you are interested, give me a call and we will talk. Would like this unit to go to a good home as soon as possible.
Will consider offers and possible trades
