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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,000.
This Jeepster looks solid.
Recently rebuilt Kaiser super sonic flathead 6 motor. New canvas top, original design. Black with red piping.
NADA classic car list: $18,500. Solid body, no rust. Just over 19,000 made from 1948-1950. Approx. 3,000 runnig.”
Ya know, when folks advertise a car for sale, they should really know what they are talking about. This poor Jeepster is not a Phantom, it is a Phaeton. Big difference! The engine may be a Kaiser Super Sonic 6, which was the same as a Willys Lightning Six but with a Kaiser head on it, but that engine isn’t original to a 1948 Jeepster. 1948 VJ2 Jeepsters came with a 4 cylinder Go-Devil Jeep engine, 1949 and later Jeepsters had the Lightning 6 that was increased from 148 cubic inches to 161 cubic inches in late 1949. How the seller states that there are only 3,000 Jeepsters running out of 19,000 is pure speculation. There is no way to tell for sure if there are more or less. I have a database with several hundred Jeepster serial numbers in it and I find more every week.
Thanks Colin! I saw Phantom and thought, Phantom?, and then proceeded to go on autopilot (perhaps catatonic?) and forget all about it . . .
