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 .

Seller rebuilt this while caring for his terminally ill wife. Brakes went out, so he’s selling it at a bargain price.

When he was sixteen, Daniel Friend wanted to get his grandfather’s 1956 wagon running. He got it running, but then landed in the hospital. Afflicted with cystic fibrosis since birth, he was recovering in the hospital when a social worker mentioned the Make-A-Wish foundation. One thing led to another and soon his wish was granted.

“Posting up my 1951 Willy Overland 4×4.

– Transmission Shifts
Very complete rare jeep with amazing potential.
Original keys and clean California title.
Bring cash and a trailer.
Will trade for older bmw motorcycle running or project. 1972 or older”
If it starts up, this could be a great price, even with a little rust.
“This is a classic! Willys 4WD Jeep Station Wagon with a lifetime total of 75k original miles on it. It has a second engine in it, a completely rebuilt original 6 cylinder “super Hurricane” which is powerful enough to make 70 mph on the high way with the use of a low miles overdrive unit I found and installed in it. The car is a pleasure to drive and a real conversation piece. Sale also comes with a spare, zero miles, rebuilt 6cyl engine of unknown condition. Transmission was gone over by a transmission shop in last 20k miles and runs great. Suspension, steering, drivelines, rear and front drives and body all in acceptable condition. It runs but has been stored under cover for four years since I fired it up last. 4WD works fine. Has some body rust.
This could also be a good candidate for a full restoration. Cherry it out and you could drive it for many years in style!
I’m getting old and need the cash.”

Dan spotted this nicely restored wagon. Despite the price, there is still a little work left.
“98 % complete needs a few final touches…Everything gone through…no rust, new paint inside and out, rubber, glass, headliner, white wall tires new or replated chrome original radio…rewired 12 volt system and electric wipers.

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $3600
It’s a project that includes a warn overdrive. The body appears in good shape.
“Classic Willys 4×4 in great condition to restore. Maroon and white.
Original basketweave headliner in amazing shape.
Hurricane straight 6 engine. I have all the pieces to this car except
for the spare tire guard. Years ago I bought a bunch of unblemished interior panels to replace the flawed ones. I believe I have the full set…they just screw on.
I bought two replacement arm rests for the back seats. Have a couple of rolls of piping for headliner edges.
As you can see the woven headliner is still intact and cool.
The sheet metal is predominantly straight, as is the stainless. Front bumper has a bend that needs straightening. There is one rust thru spot in the sheetmetal about 3 inches long near the back right wheel.
I have all the wood slats for floor, all the seats, the spare tire. The last picture is of the extra transmission that allows overdrive, if one wants to install that feature.
I haven’t driven it since 2000 or so…but it’s a worthy project for restoration being so original and relatively good shape.
