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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .

1962 Willys Wagon Traveller OBO $1,500 Gig Harbor, WA
Was an original 230 Tornado Rig, now swapped. Vacuum Heater Controls, Cut out in the Engine Bay, and Battery Tray on the drivers side front to back. Should have the improved steering on this as well with the crossover and double passenger knuckle. Which should have something like 3.54, 4.10, 4,27 Diff Ratios. Is there a roof rack inside! If anyone happens to go see this one hit us up at post@ewillys.com on some details of what you find. – Tim
Edit: OWF was able to point out a few more details to this one > The trim on the side is a good sign of a Traveller vs a Parkway Conversion, this has the diamond plate behind the rear doors. (I think you can kinda see the roof rack holes)

Willys Jeep Traveller Roof Rack $1,000 or OBO or Trade Spokane, WA
This was posted on OWF by a member who ran across this and was going to use it for a build but these are special to the 4WD Traveller model that was used more as a transport and was a mix of a Wagon, Parkway Conversion had Barn Doors and round wheel wells. They are a really neat model of Willys. Pair them up with the 230 and these are really cool rigs, so only fitting that someone who could maybe use this for their build has a shot at it.
Both of my Wagons are ’63 and have the lower ribbed roof, the Delivery would have used the tall non ribbed roof, so before you toss some Willys Bucks at this beware, you probably need to have at least an older pre 1958 Wagon with the tall roof. I would be very intrigued to see if Willys did any support under the roof for the Traveller model, or if it was all on the design to push the weight to the sides as shown. I’ve cleaned my roof a few times and it’s really fragile up there, I really have to take care not to put any kind of real pressure on the roof in general. Not sure on the other roofs, let me know if they are that much stronger.
Or if you have a Traveller and can take some shots of the inside roof where this would go on a 4WD Traveller that would help.
Here is the go to thread on all things Traveller on OWF.

I bought this rare Traveller brochure off of ebay, one I’d never seen. It’s printed on a heavier than usual paper, almost card stock thick. This is the earliest example of a Traveller brochure that I’ve seen. This brochure is form number 8-9-tr-60-8-1.
This brochure starts as a 5.5″ x 8.5″ brochure. Here’s the front page. The use of “Traveller’s” plural refers to the 2WD and 4WD as separate models. A 1961 brochure used the singular Traveler and did not show the 2WD with its different styling, but a 1962 switched back to the plural Travellers.
Here’s the back:
The brochure opens horizontally to reveal this page:
The brochure opens vertically to reveal the brochure’s center page (11″x17″):

Andy spotted this traveller for sale. It will take some work, but might make an interesting tour-wagon-jeep. Thankfully, this is NOT close to me!

“52 Willis. Project truck. Good body/very little rust. No engine or transmission. No title”
I believe this is a modified Traveller.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/397180789563060
“1963 Willys. 350/350 automatic. Solid vehicle. Not a show car. Clean black interior. Paint is not perfect, but looks good. New 33” Wild Peak tires on 15×10 Pro Comp rims. Drives great in 2WD. Issue with 4WD. Front hubs will lock, but transfer case will not engage. Price has been dropped for this reason. Will consider trade/partial trade offers for another classic. K5, Chevelle, Vw Bus, Bug or Type 3 or something cool. Clean Ca. title in my name.”
This looks like a Traveller to me.

“1963 Willys Overland Jeep Panel 4×4. Powered by 350 SBC w/ 350 automatic transmission. Dana 44s. Brand new 15×10 Pro Comp rims and 33” Wild Peaks. New brakes, gaskets, fluids, fuel pump, trans cooler and electric fan. Interior is all black with a nice custom headliner 8/10. Body is super straight. Paint is not perfect but still looks great. Open to trade/cash. Also have a 1962 VW Beetle. Make offer for both. Open to K5 Blazer, VW Bus, Type 3 or classic car / truck ?? Clean Ca. title in my name.”
Could be worth a look. I can’t tell if this had bench seats in the back or not.

“1961 Willy’s Wagon body with clean Oregon title sitting on a late 80’s S15 Chevy Blazer frame. Original bare Willy’s frame included. No motor or trans installed but includes a rebuilt, low mileage Chevy 4.0 motor. WIlly’s is a rare barn door style panel van body but a previous owner cut side windows into rear panel area. Clean, straight, solid, 99% rust free body. This is a “project vehicle” ready for restoration. Delivery near or far available for a reasonable fee depending on distance”
Mike spotted this modified Traveller for sale out of Texas. The serial number put this at only 7 units later than Scrambleer’s (Dan) Orange Traveller (see his wagon at the lower part of this 2014 post). Given it is so heavily modified, it would make a good platform for doing something creative. It would surprise me if this was a former Border Patrol vehicle (but I see no gov plate).

“We believe this is a 1964 Jeep Willys Traveller based on the interior and exterior trim. It has been modified as shown.
It has a V8 and manual trans, 4×4. It runs well. New BFG Tires.
Would make a good hunting or other off road touring rig. It does not have a title. It comes Bill of Sale only.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000. This was a former Texas Border Patrol Traveller.
“Up for consideration is a 1962 four wheel drive Willys Jeep Traveller. Original Texas Border Patrol Jeep with sea foam green and black paint under the yellow repaint. Original 230 inline 6 has been replaced with a later chevrolet 250 inline 6. Original, unrestored traveller needing complete restoration but a very solid platform to start with.”
