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: Was $1900. **SOLD**
Needs work, but I think it has potential.

After seeing this ad about the shortened wagon, a reader named Or forwarded me the following links that show these shortened wagons aren’t as rare as we thought. Thanks for finding these!

(03/25/2012) What happens when you put a wagon body on a 1/4 ton chassis? Well, this appears to be one example.
“I am not sure on exact year or if there is even an exact year. It is titled as a 2004 assembled and needs to be inspected before going on the road. This thing is a bit ugly. It is basiccilly a shortened Willys Wagon. The motor is a Chevy 6 cylinder so it should be an easy candidate for a SBC swap. Right now it does run and drive pretty good for the age but will need some brake work. It is not something that you are goinmg to buy and drive home from here. I bought it thinking I should have one more project jeep but there is no way that I am going to do anything with it. I did not build it so I do not know a whole lot about it. It does have the OEM Willys running gear. Tires hold air pretty good but they are rough. Buy it now and have a different ride for the holiday weekend at Silver Lake. The body work is rough and the side panles were welded on but never ground down or filled in so it definitely looks rough.”
UPDATE: Was $8500. **SOLD**
(04/30/2012) This has an old jalopy look to it.
“I’m selling my 1949 willys truck. It’s had a lot of custom mods done to it. The front axle was pushed out 14″. The front rails were narrowed and shortened. The underside of the frt cross member had ladies painted on a long time ago. I got the frame with them on there, original rad shell, alum rad with elec. cooling fan. The engine is an older sbc 327. th350n trans, lokar long shifter, alum drive shaft, ford 9″ rear axle, 3.70 open gears, drum brakes, power brake booster, flaming river steering gear, cross steer, rear rails shortened and notched, competition engineering ladder bars, QA1 coil-overs, No heater or door windows.
Speedway tube frt axle
Front disc brakes
Dome was cut off the roof and flat topped
Roof chopped 4 1/4 inches
Bed shortened 3 ft
Needless to say its had a lot done to it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was3000.
This is a funny mix of colors/parts.

UPDATE: Ori found a variety of similar modded wagons in Brazil. You can check them out here (and then scroll to the bottom).
Check out this Wagon. The body has been shortened. I think this looks pretty cool.
