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 rear doors look in good shape. Thanks to John for sharing it.

“1960 Willys jeep panel wagon just the body and nose. No frame, would make a nice rat rod or yard art or whatever. Drop an S10 frame under it and you’re good to go. It’s in decent shape for what it is located Chelmsford mass. Sold with just a bill of sale lol”
UPDATE: It’s now passed the auction date, so I expect this sold.
Looks like the wagon has some mods. No description provided. It is a 2-Day Spring Consignment Auction Friday, May 3rd & Saturday, May 4th.

The seller labels this 2WD wagon a Maverick, but this May of 1962 2WD wagon brochure does not identify it as such. Thanks to John for sharing this ad. This runs and drives.

“If the ad is up the car is still available 2wd with the Tornado 230 straight 6. All kinds of work done, currently registered and driving. Floors need to be replaced and I bought new ones that are included. Would trade for a nice 50’s good driving Oldsmobile or similar car. New brakes, shocks and rear springs. Fuel tank is excellent along with new fuel lines”
TJ shared this wagon. It looks like it may have some useful parts if nothing else.

“1951 Willys wagon. Set up for SBC. Doesn’t run. Can throw in a 305 SBC, for additions $. I believe most of the parts are there to get it running. I do have a current Montana title. Located in Seeley Lake”
This is a nice looking wagon with a variety of updates.

“1946 Willys Jeep Wagon, power steering, power brakes, automatic transmission, 305 Chevrolet engine, runs good. Classic beauty, garage kept. 15000 OBO, clean title, mileage unknown, As Is.”
Andy spotted this traveller for sale. It will take some work, but might make an interesting tour-wagon-jeep. Thankfully, this is NOT close to me!

“52 Willis. Project truck. Good body/very little rust. No engine or transmission. No title”
UPDATE: Clay has relisted the wagon on eBay.
(03/03/2024) He noted it does lack a title and needs work. It does include a government plate.
“1959 Willys Jeep Station Wagon, note: no title. The legend, verbal only, was that this had been bought at a government surplus auction and this wagon had belonged to the US Forest Service in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The fact is it does have a brass government plate on the dash. Original 6-226 Continental Six cylinder engine, might run, original 3 speed transmission. Original part time 4WD. Rear step bumper, manual carb choke (which were US government specs). Lots of rust to go around. See photos. Where some trim is removed, the original Forest Service aqua green color is visible. It needs everything. But everything is available for it from current vendors. Replacement left and right rear fenders included. I have yard driven it some over the years, but not recently. Great to do a restoration on a noteworthy original piece of history. Some price negotiation after seeing it in person. Email to set up a time to see it. Currently garaged, but will be in the yard soon. Has good tread on tires.”
UPDATE: This is now listed on eBay.
(03/03/2024) Clay’s selling this wagon. It does not run, but does have a title.

“1957 Willys Jeep Station Wagon, original 6 cylinder Continental 6-226 engine, rebuilt by Bill Fisk Machine Shop, original three speed manual transmission, rebuilt by Pat’s Transmissions, original part time 4WD system. Two door, rusted tail gate hinge, some patched holes in floor, has all glass. Currently tagged and insured. Good SC title. Drove to work in West Ashley for several years. Is original, some rust, not running. Engine turns over easily. Good tread on tires. Great to patch up and drive now, then do more work on it later, or customize it. With engine rebuild and transmission rebuild, will cruise at 60 on HWY 17 no problems. No interest in your stories or lookie loos, just want to hear from interested buyers. Some negotiation possible after seeing in person. Hate to let it go, but now retired and not in a position to put a lot into it.”

Steve shared this photo from the Just-A-Car-Guy website, which was in turn was shared from a French(?) website. This looks to be a three or four-door Hy-Rail wagon. You can learn more about these at Willyscountry.com.
I believe this is a modified Traveller.

“1963 Willys. 350/350 automatic. Solid vehicle. Not a show car. Clean black interior. Paint is not perfect, but looks good. New 33” Wild Peak tires on 15×10 Pro Comp rims. Drives great in 2WD. Issue with 4WD. Front hubs will lock, but transfer case will not engage. Price has been dropped for this reason. Will consider trade/partial trade offers for another classic. K5, Chevelle, Vw Bus, Bug or Type 3 or something cool. Clean Ca. title in my name.”

UPDATE: I found what I believe is another Israel Kaiser brochure which highlights the Compact Tender design. This truck looks more like a modified wagon than a truck. The bed does not appear independent of the cab.
=================
Original Published Dec 05, 2010: Congrats to Or who spotted some information from a “Kaizer-Ilin Industrys Ltd” marketing document at the Israel Cars forum. He and I have both searched for any official piece of evidence that the vehicles we were seeing were really produced and this represents the first step in that process. We still don’t know how many were produced, nor how many years they were produced, nor in how many countries they were produced (though they have appeared in both Israel and the US).
The document below is from 1963. Or translates it the following way:
1. Tender Willys
2. “Station Car”
3. Compact Tender
4. c’hamp 1963
Moreover, Or spoke with some of the folks at the Israel Cars forum and discovered that the Compact Tender is built on the Panel/Wagon frame (104.5″ wheelbase) rather than the long pickup frame (118″ wheelbase).
Thanks to the guys at the Israel Cars forum for posting this Ad:

“This is a non-title project. Willys this old didn’t have VIN numbers so one has to title it as a home build or use the serial number data plate—which I have.
