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 on eBay.
Dan let me know this Traveller is for sale.
“One owner 1963 Willy’s Traveller with the 230 tornado engine. It has the rare roof mounted spare tire rack, the high roof with the outer rounded fender wells. Also has the inner cut fender wells for the fold down seats and a PTO winch. The only major rust on the rig is the driver floor boards will have to be replaced.”
Dan spotted this Traveller for sale. It’s rough. The Seller believes this to be a Parkway, but it is actually a Traveller.

Idaho Todd’s 1963 Traveler update (see the before photos at the bottom of the post). Todd wrote the following about arriving at the seller’s place to purchase the jeep:
The Traveler headed to Idaho from Oregon.
After some visiting, we struck a deal that I think we were all comfortable with. The fella helped us load the traveler and we were off. Boy, you would of thought we were hauling a shelby mustang by all the attention we were attracting! Plenty of on lookers at fill-ups and bathroom breaks.
Made it back to Sandpoint and the next morning we were going to back it off the trailer when I hit the key and she fired (after a jump start)! I had bought it as a non-runner so this was delightful! To my amazement, the speedometer, both gauges and most of the lights worked! I drained and filled the boxes, checked the brakes and we were off.
When I got back to the shop, I soaked it with a degreaser and power washed it. It turned out stunning! I sure like the patina but I think it’s headed for a full resto on of these next winters. It needs front foot pans and some investigating around the top. Other than that, I am very pleased. In the meantime, I think I will enjoy it for a while. She runs great. Thanks everyone for sharing this experience with us! More to follow soon…
UPDATE: ** Status Unknown** Was $6900.
Seller believes this is a Traveller, but split window suggests otherwise to me.
“Moving to florida and selling my 1960 willys Traveler Station Wagon. partially restored. converted to 12 volt, new wheels and tires, gas tanks, generator. three speed with overdrive, high low range, four wheel drive, and pto”
Dan believes the wagon might be a traveller. It looks to have sliding side windows, while the Parkway Conversion’s side windows were always fixed flush mount whereas the Traveller could have either.
“I have too many projects and must part with these. The wagon is a 1960. It does not have a motor or transmission. The pickup is a 1957, runs, and has a working PTO winch. Both vehicles would come with a bill of sale. Thanks for looking”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.
The consensus is that this wagon is the same one as this 1956 single-door Florida wagon. The only difference we can spot are the license plates.
“Restored 1957 Jeep Willys, finished in blue and white. Mechanically sound: runs great, starts right up (it has a Buick V8 under the hood). Transfer case has been rebuilt. Tires are like new.
Cosmetically: It has never seen snow since being restored, and it has won multiple shows. No bondo, this Willys was restored properly. Very clean inside and out. Has single delivery door on the rear.
Clean Kentucky title, 2 sets of keys.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8200. Check out near identical wagon that’s a 1957.
(06/12/2012) The seller believes this might be a Traveller, but Dan points out the following:
1. It’s a ’56 and Travellers were made 1960-1964 (to the best of his knowledge).
2. It has the polygon rear fender openings of a wagon, not the curved of a Delviery that Travellers and Parkways were made from.
3. It has the low roof, not the high roof.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $16,000
(11/15/2013) This looks fine. Check out the back of this wagon. Is it possibly a traveller?
“1962 willys hot rod on a chevy blazer chassis with a chevy 350 engine and trans lots of chrome and aluminum on the engine has a/c and heating custom interior VERY NICE…$16,000.00 OR TRADE FOR NICE TOW TRUCK”
UPDATE: Still Available. Was on eBay. Now $2300. Contact MIke via email for more info:

Dan spotted this rare Traveler. It’s rough, but complete.
“Willys 1961 Traveler, if you’re looking you may already know the rarity of the Willys Traveler. If you are not I would suggest a good search of the internet, try “Willys production numbers” for a start. As if it wasn’t rare enough it has all the Civilian model Traveler specific parts in tact. I have been fooling with old Willys stuff since 1972 and have never seen one with all the pieces intact. It has the factory fold up rear bench seats, it has the roof mounted spare tire carrier, it has the rear sliding side windows, it has the step plate between rear bumper and the body all still attached. These ultra rare pieces are one of the things that makes it an ideal restoration candidate. The numbers are all correct for a 1961 Traveler and it comes with a good, clean title in my name. It’s 4 wheel drive with the desirable straight “6” 226 cubic inch flathead motor. The motor spins over by hand. the transmission and transfer case are in place.
Dan pointed out that the October 2103 issue of Vintage Truck Magazine has a great looking article about the Traveller by Bill Norris. I’m going to get a copy of that magazine right away!

I don’t see many of these with the original seats.

Dan forwarded be this Traveller information, which has proved helpful for me. Dan also took some a picture of Paul Berry’s 2WD Traveller, which you can see here (you can see all the pictures here, but you’ll need to scroll 2/3s of the way down the page).
UPDATE: Dan now owns this Traveller. I didn’t know what a Traveller was when I first posted this in 2011.
