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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
Whether this originally had the images on it or not, someone had some fun giving this wagon a vintage theme. This looks to be a Parkway Conversion?

“I have a super cool 1948 Willys Overland. It’s on a S10 frame, 4.3 V6, Automatic transmission, power steering, disc brakes, nice interior. This is a blast to drive. Gets a ton of attention. It would be awesome at a lake resort or at the beach.”
It’s project, but it’s got some character.

Recently I got a great price on 30+ Willys World news letters from 1974-1985. There were a few interesting nuggets in several issues.
One the cover of the March-April 1982 issue appears this Willys-Overland photo, taken February 2, 1950. The pic shows what W-O called a “Herman Panel Delivery Van”. The model-name itself is curious, as Willys had referred to the earlier (and later) versions of this van as a Package, Economy, or Delivery Van.
Herman was a van-body manufacturer, as this brochure shows. Note the dual windows on the door. This is similar to what the company designed for Willys-Overland.
My guess is the Herman Panel Delivery van was a prototype. For some reason, it appears it was never a production model. However, Willys-Overland did work with the Boyertown and Montpelier companies to create a similar version in the late 1950s.

“This wagon has been in the family for for the past 13 years. It has been on many long road trips. The car is in storage but I can put the battery back in it and drive it to any one of the COASTS, I am that confidant in my wagon! The car would be considered a restomod. The frame and body are the regional, the rest of it has been upgraded. 350ci V8 , Th350 transmission, 9” rear differential w/275 ratio, power disc brakes on all 4 wheels, mustang ll independent front suspension, manual Rack & pinion steering, all new 12 volt wiring harness that has been wrapped and hidden very clean, New aluminum radiator and trans cooler, New GPS speedometer and gauges. There is way too much to list. I have restored this wagon twice over the time I have owned it and have driven it some were between 25000/30000 miles. Looking to sell to finish my next project, I hate to sell it but if you a classic car owner you understand . “
