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 .
The body on this appears solid. I don’t see any pics of the parts wagon.

The seller indicates the body is fine, but does have some dents. This is equipped with a saturn overdrive.
“Original Arizona vehicle. Second owner. 96k miles, original L6-226 flathead engine w/ Weber 38mm DGV carb, B-W T90 transmission, Dana 18 transfer case, Dana 25 front axle, Dana 44 rear axle, Warn-type (Saturn) overdrive, 4.27:1 axle ratio, SuperWinch front axle hubs, BFG 31″ All-Terrain Mud tires, Saginaw steering box, Rancho springs, electric and mechanical fuel pumps.

Fuel gage and driver’s side door handle need to be repaired. E-mail for high-res pics.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
Lots of updates on this nice looking build.

This needs some work done. It’s a good looking rig. Those rear tires sure look close to the body.
“1953 Jeep Willys wagon. This is a PROJECT CAR – Great project, very solid body. Engine: 1996 Jeep 318 (not hooked up). Transmission: 4 speed automatic. Full time 4 wheel drive.

There is a little body work, but might not be too bad.
“1962 Willys Jeep Utility Wagon 4×4. “Super Hurricane” 226 c.i. L-Head engine that runs good. Body is very solid, needs only a little work on lower driver side rear quarter and bottom of tailgate.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
It’s unclear if this runs or not. It appears to have a few dings, but might not have much rust.
“im selling my 1951 willys wagon, in great condition with spare parts, extra doors, etc. asking $3800 obo.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $8000
(02/09/2010) Here’s a nice a Wagon.
“1959 Willys just turned 100 thousand miles. 4-Wheel without overdrive. Third owner. Purchased new in Denver then lived in Moscow for twenty something years before being sold to second owner some eight miles away. First owner changed the generator over to an alternator. Other than that no foolish “improvements.” Second owner had it also for twenty or so years and I have had it since. None of us have abused this marvelous machine in any way. Original engine and drivetrain and just about everything else but the battery and tires. Second owner rebuilt the engine about thirty thousand miles ago. No oil use. Performs as new. Cruises at sixty without any unstability or wander or excess rpm demand. NOT restored to show car condition but finished quite nicely for use with no ugly surprises. I installed a new gas gauge sender a year or so ago and it works just fine until yesterday when I put some gas in and the gauge dropped to zero. I care not to take the time now to troubleshoot it. This Willys is about as close in appearance and original working condition to when it was new as one is likely to find outside of a museum. No, the paint is not original but done about two years ago by a show car body shop. The body is not flawless as I elected to preserve the car with its history of only the fewest of dings yet if it were flawless it would most surely not be driven for fear of scratching it. This is a user and cruiser. Solid throughout. I am pleased to answer any questions or send additional photos though do not waste my time if you are not seriously prepared to buy and I will not waste yours. Located in downtown Palouse adjacent to St. Elmos Hotel on Main Street directly across from the tavern. Available for viewing just about any time or day though please do not just stop by to do anything other than hands-off looking without an appointment. Please email with any questions or to set a viewing appointment as I am not usually near a phone.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1050.
“One of a kind Willys wagon, would make a great restoration project, has a winch and extra parts, also front bumper. no motor, needs total restoration. Have title in hand and two different catalogues for ordering Willys parts. Serious buyers only please, call any time:”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,900
This looks like a very nice wagon, but the hood doesn’t look like it quite fits right in the front (or maybe it’s an optical illusion).
“New brakes, battery, tires like new, RUST FREE BODY.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
I think DUSTY describes this accurately. It looks pretty solid underneath the rust.
“1951 Williy’s Overland 4×4 station wagon with 289 and 3 speed transmission. This vehicle has been barn stored for the last 10 years and his minimal rust and damage. The engine is complete and was running when it was put into storage. This is a great project vehicle with almost all original parts and equipment. 2,500 OBO.”
Dan spotted this. I can’t say if the seller is accurate about the rarity or not.
“Up for sale is a very rare Jeep Gladiator. The vehicle was made in 1969 and then was issued a vin number in 1970 before kaiser sold to AMC. This vehicle has a very rare 350 V8 Buick motor with an automatic, they only made the vehicle with an automatic for one year with these motor options. This has a true four wheel drive running gear, with dana 60 lockers, that have been gone thru and serviced. Currenlty the vehicle needs the rear glas put in the door panels put on and the bed to be bolted back on, it used to have a flat bed on it.as well as the gas tank to be put back in. It is still on the trailer and can be delivered if need be. Like I said this vehicle does run that is how i got it on the trailer, I have the title in hand with new plates as well. You can call me at 509 768 8255 thanx Josh”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Dave spotted this wagon. It looks like a pretty good updated build. My question is, why not move the wagon so you don’t have a chain link fence covering half the pic?

Hand built boxed and doubled frame( no more frame flex and broken body mounts. extra capacity fuel tank (25 gal) in original position. set up with tow bar for flat towing. 37×12.5-17 bfg AT<s on Mickey Thomson Classic II wheels. front axel= Dana 44 3/4 ton 4.10. rear = Dana 44 4.10. saginaw 77 steering box with new seals. hydroboost brake booster.

“50 something, 4 x 4 – No engine/transmission. Pretty decent shape. No papers and, unfortunately, somebody stole the VIN plate. But, this is not that big a deal and the price is right. Will consider trades, what do you have? I need a Falcon or Comet, no papers necessary, for a drag car project.
The body doesn’t look too bad.

The sellers are interested in selling, but aren’t in a hurry due to the wagon’s location.
“We have a ’59 Jeep Wagon we would like to sell. This vehicle has less than 60K original miles. It is only used in the summer, when cabin is accessible, and is garaged all winter. We are trying to decide to sell vehicle up there, or haul it to the Bay Area and try to sell it for more. Vehicle has a clear title and has always been registered in CA. It is equipped with 6 cyl. flathead engine. It has been used for short 4-wheel trips in the area. the body is no cherry, NO major rust, just scrapes from hidden boulders, one rear fender dented pretty good, also has a couple broken windows, (glass is broken, not broken out, make sense?). Interior is in real good shape for its age. Vehicle is road worthy, however I would recommend trailering long distances. Has top speed of about 55-60 mph. Right now we’re looking for potential buyers, vehicle is not accessible at this time, Cabin will be opened Memorial Day weekend or weekend after. email offers please be reasonable.These are the only pics I can find for now. More can be made available in the next couple weeks I’m sure. Please be in no rush, as we don’t get up to the area often and transaction will have to be arranged in advance. I hope you understand.”

UPDATE: This Jeep owner is liquidating his jeeps (about 15 of them).

Steve was wondering if any readers knew anything about this aftermarket bumper found on some trucks (I’ll have to look back at some other images, but I know I’ve seen this or something similar on other trucks). I guess it is time to add a ‘bumper mod’ section to the modifications area.
Steve writes, “I Have the following wagon bumper and wondered if anyone knew anything about it? The tag says Ricks Trailer Works, 2003 East Van Buren Street, Phoenix, Arizona. I used to see these on a few wagons, but haven’t in quite a while. My wagon with this came out of Utah. It looks like a nice practical bumper, but haven’t decided how to use it yet. Thought it might be a modification people find interesting.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
There’s plenty of work left on this, but some nice attributes.
“This Willys was being restored by the previous owner, he had a V-8 rebuilt and installed (327 ci. I think)(no I cant see the #s on the block) painted it, and installed some aftermarket seats. The trans was out being rebuilt, and was stolen. The owner lost interest and parked it for years, and then decided to sell it. I purchased it with the intention of a full restoration, but a week later another one came up for sale I had previously tried to buy, so now I have 2 of them. I found a rebuilt trans, that also came with a transfer case. (they are not hooked together or installed) This willys also has a PTO winch with the shafts, but I was not willing to pay for the pto case that hooks to the transfer case, so that is missing, you can remove the winch and sell it, or the case sells for $250.00 to $300.00. I have not gone through all the boxes of parts (as nothing was reinstalled after painting) but the parts may or may not all be there. And the glass needs to be put back in, all the rubber appears to be good. The paint job is okay, but I was going to change the color while it was stripped down, as the repaint has some chips and scratches. The dribe shafts have just been gone through and have new u-joints. The motor is not locked, as I can turn the crank and get movement and has good compression.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
This still needs a little work.
“Relisted. Had lots of lookers and some good offers, but no deal, now it has to GO! Price has been reduced and is firm, but I’m open minded. 49 Willys wagon on an S-10 frame. Body has been chopped/channeled and needs to be finished, I have misc body and mechanical pieces, suspension and brake system is in place. S-10 rearend, Super Six engine w/904 trans. 4bbl intake manifold, 32 Ford radiator/shell, great looking old school wheels/tires. This is a great father/son project and will be a real unique head turner. Jump on this before it gets to Ebay…NO REGRETS! Additional pics and info on request. I need the room, it’s got to go!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $750.
