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 .

“Looking to sell my vintage willys jeep
Specs:
Clean clear LA title
225 buick v6- does run, but would most likely need the carb cleaned as it has not been cranked in a couple years, I believe the drivetrain was transplanted from a cj5 and it has power steering of some sort on it- has a holley 390cfm 4 barrrel with aluminum 4 barrel intake, also have carter 2 barrel and adapter plate for it
It has 31″ swampers (tires in pics are not what is on it now) on white spokes, full cage that I would personally change up some, body shell seems sold floors have been re-sheeted.
It is a project and I bought it for such and have a lot of stuff that will go with it. It needs the brake and fuel lines ran properly and you could actually drive it like it is. The frame has a couple cracks, as they are prone to, but I have a cj5 frame that I was going to swap it over to, or you could repair he cracks and leave it as it is. Comes with cj5 frame, 2 sets of spare axles, 2-3 spare transmissions and transfer cases, 12 gal alum fuel cell and yj poly tank (choose which one you want to install), new plastic race seats with covers and sliders, a box of misc extras and I am sure more that I cant think of.
I want $1600 and have quite a bit more than that in it. It really doesnt need any money put in it, just some time, would make a great winter project for this year and put it on the trails in the spring and have under $2000 in a driving rig. Comes with everything I have associated with it and do not want to sell parts. If no interest, i will leave it sitting under the shed until I get the time to play with it.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $16,500
(05/15/2011) This looks in good shape.
“1957 Willys-Overland Motors Kaiser-Jeep Wagon 4×4, 2 door with rear lift hatch and tailgate. This is the ORIGINAL SUV !!! $16,500 O.B.O.
In July of 2011, this vehicle was given an excellent bill of health by the renowned and reputable Zip Auto here in Missoula. The only issue they found was the defrost control rod appeared to be stuck. Very fixable I’m sure. Compression ratio was perfect on all 6 cylinders.
This one is a rare find indeed. You’ll be hard pressed to find another one of these that has been garaged it’s entire life. Yes this was garaged always when not in use. My grandfather purchased this vehicle new and used it for hunting and exploring Montana during the late 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. This Willys Jeep Wagon was used rarely, adult driven it’s entire life and maintained with the utmost attention and care. Since the late 70’s, this vehicle was started nearly every summer, brought to operating temperature and driven around the neighbor hood a bit. I believe it was 1985 that my grandfather had a fair amount of work done on this vehicle. He had the engine pulled, cleaned, new seals everywhere, prepped and painted. The body and interior were completely prepped/repainted and the upholstery was redone that same year. The exhaust system was also replaced around the same time. Every ounce of chrome on this looks like a mirror. The exhaust tip is still nice and chromed. The rubber seals all look near new as well. Basically it looks, sounds, smells like new and doesn’t leak any fluid. Talk about sound, it also has a dual or triple horn that is quite loud. Rear passenger side windows slide back half way.
I’m having the radiator, engine, transmission, transfer case and differentials all serviced this week. Radiator will be flushed, fluids will be replaced. I just put in a new battery last week. The winner of this auction will essentially be getting a near new 1957 Willys Jeep Wagon. Potential buyer will need to be aware that this is still the original 6 volt system. Everything works. Because of the low gear ratio, this SUV tops out around 50-55 on the highway. This isn’t going to be your highway commuter vehicle, these were made for the back country or rural communities.
45,470 Original miles (adult driven). This jeep wasn’t used that often. Body in outstanding show quality shape and repainted in 1985. (two tone green). New upholstery in 1985. New engine seals and engine paint in 1985 “L6-226 Super Hurricane” 226 CID (3.7 L) in-line 6 cylinder, great low RPM torque. Borg-Warner T-90 Manual 3 speed transmission 4×4,Spicer/Dana 18 transfer case, nice two lever action Dana 53 rear, Dana 25 front axel. Low gear ratio, with the 6-cylinder engines, it was 4.88:1 standard or the optional 5.38:1 (not sure which this is, it goes pretty slow). Newer exhaust system (1985), still has a shiny chrome exhaust tip. Sounds nice and quiet. Tires look new.”
This looks pretty good.

It runs and drives, but needs some work.
“Up for auction is my 1951 Willy Jeep CJ-3A. I got this jeep from my father-in-law about 10 years ago. I have driven it mainly on my land. It has been in a barn for at least 5 years. I got it started today and drove it to my house which is about 2 miles, ran fine and the brakes will stop it. The 4 wheel drive and transmission work fine. It is a flat head 4, I think it’s the same engine that it should have come with. The battery in it is very week, I had to charge it and after driving it, barley started again. The tires are old but hold air. Fuel tank is gone, using a plastic boat tank and electric fuel pump. This would make a good project. It will need to be put on a trailer. Everyone is welcomed and encouraged to come look in person before bidding. I have a clear SC title in my name.”
It’s a project or parts FC.

I’m not so sure this is a jeep collector’s dream, as this will take a great deal of work to make nice.

“This is the cutest little machine that I think we have ever restored.It’s a Veep!An all steel Jeep body on a custom tube frame with a ball joint Beetle front endand swing axle rear end with an upright 1600cc VW engine tucked neatly behind the tailgate.
This particular example was built in the 1980’s by Hadley Engineering in California.The car was first owned by a 1980’s child star and was his first car when he got his license.This actor was in the film Cocoon as well as D.A.R.Y.L and a whole host of TV appearances as well.Tired of the Hollywood spotlight, he quit acting and went into photography and has become successful in that path as well.The car went into storage at some point in the 90’s and sat outside in a lot north of Hollywood until we bought it andjumped into the restoration. Instead of restoring it just as it was, it was decided to turn it into a VW poweredversion of the legendary and highly collectible “Jeep Surrey Gala”
