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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200

Here are pictures of just a few of the parts.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200
(11/22/2010) This looks like a worth project for the price (it doesn’t sound like there’s much to do)
“I got this on a trade I had visions of making a finished hot rod with it but I just dont have the time anymore. Its mounted and channeled over a S-10 frame with the 4.3 liter engine still in it. The engine still runs but there is no gas tank installed. There is a pretty fair amount of metal fab left, but if you have the skills needed for this project it would make a cool ride. There is minimal rust left on the body. The old floor was rotted out and a new floor put in by the previous owner. I have some more pics if needed. This is located in Broadhead WI which is about 1/2 hour west of Beloit , WI. I live in Sycamore, IL so anyone wanting to see will need to make arrangement with me to look at it.”
Here’s a stock wagon that runs.
“1948 Willys Overland Survivor, all original parts including hub caps. Great interior condition of seats and floor boards, also has third row seating for single seat in back.

I’m guessing it doesn’t run.
“Here is an old Willys Sedan Delivery I have had for 25 years intending to build a hot rod. She has moved all over Texas and been in numerous shops and storage facilities, but its time to let someone with more gumption than I take her. If there is interest, I would sell her or trade/partial trade for a jetski. THe body is remarkably straight, but she is getting rustier each year. TIme to let her go. Email with your cell number and I will talk/text with you or just email is fine. Give me your addy and I will reciprocate fairly quickly.”
Yesterday Ron contacted me, asking if I had see the wagon on the Can-Am commercial. Well, I couldn’t remember seeing a Can Am commercial.
Then, last night I was watching the Temple/USF game and updating eWillys when I looked up to see Can-Am flash across the screen. I thought to myself, I wonder if that was the commercial Ron mentioned. So, I rewinded it and spotted the wagon. There it was, very briefly shown in the background. A red wagon with white trim sporting the name Nick’s Cove. After a quick search that focused on Nick’s Cove only. I found the pic below. Thanks Nick!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500

The paint is supposed to be original and this has about 60,000 original miles.

The seller refers to the wagon as a ‘panel’, so this is either not a panel wagon or it might be a Parkway Conversion Panel. Can anyone clarify that? Frank pointed out the truck might be a Tender.

No engine, but it looks pretty solid in the pics.

UPDATE: This wagon was listed for auction on ebay in 2011, but didn’t sell. The other day Buz spotted the forum where the builder documented how he constructed it. It’s worth a look. The wagon isn’t currently for sale. The forum starts at page 7 of 7 then goes to page 1 and then forward (some system glitch at car domain).

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
(07/26/2011) There may be an issue with the title. There appears to have been some good work done on the chop.
“1951 Willy’s Station Wagon (SUV, but before the term “SUV” was created) Model 4-63.
Top Chopped — hole in roof was cut out for a sunroof prior to me purchasing it. Most (if not all) trim pieces, side window hardware, interior body coverings, seats & more included. Has original engine. A couple of years ago I rebuilt the carburetor and the engine started right up (after some priming, of course), but it ran fine. Have a reprint of the original Owner’s Manual & a copy of the Mechanic’s Manual. Tires hold air for a day or so, but they are pretty old. This is a 4-wheel-drive vehicle, but I had some problems getting it into 4×4. Some of the gears in the transmission don’t want to engage. It has been a while since I last drove it at all, but I believe reverse worked.”
This might be in good shape.
“Rare condition, straight body, original paint, oak floor boards, 4 cyl running Willys Jeep Overland. With a little restoration it can become your tailgate party pride and joy. For more information, email or call 360-832-3166.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500.
(01/28/2012) This looks solid.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9,000
(02/15/2012) This looks nicely updated.
“1951 Willys Wagon with Chevy 350/350 automatic transmission. 2 Wheel Drive. Power front disc brakes, independant front suspension, new windshield and rubber seal, bucket seats, tow hitch, upgraded electrical.
Runs and Drives excellent, lots of power, current registration and title in hand.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $960.
I’ve seen worse. It doesn’t run at the moment.
“About 95% original/complete. Has original L6-226 flathead engine, 3-speed trans with hi/lo transfer case, 4×4, locking front hubs, 12 volt electrics, and tow bar. 2-door body with tailgate, original seats, original heater, and aftermarket AM/FM/cassette. I bought it about 16 years ago planning to restore it, but too many other projects. This one needs to go to someone with more time and skills.
The engine ran when I got it, but smoked a lot and lacked power; needs a rebuild/replacement. It hasn’t been run in a long time, but is not siezed (can be turned by hand).The body had been repainted and looked great when I bought it, but the paint covered a lot of hidden rust and Bondo that are now showing (arrows in photos, apparently it spent a lot of time around salt water.) The frame appears sound, the windows not cracked or broken but some are starting to haze.
This has possibilities – restore it as a classic (the very first of the SUVs), build it into a custom 4×4, or use it for parts. (The parts value is more than my asking price, so it is FIRM.)”
No pics, but might be worth a look.
“I have a 1952 willys jeep wagon I want to get rid of. Preparing to move, don’t have time to mess with it and really don’t want to have to move it, but will if I have to. Run’s, battery’s dead at the moment but will take and hold a charge. I’ve been gone overseas for a year and haven’t started it all summer. Would make a great restoration project for someone. 1,500 OBO. If interested email me and I’ll get back to you ASAP. Clear title too.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $250.
No engine, but there are lots of parts.
