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: This Jeepney sold for $5700. Dave forwarded some additional photos.
“1946 Willys Jeep Station Wagon 463 model w/ L-134 Go-Devil Flathead four engine, Jeepster/Philippians Taxi; Auction: September 4th, 2014, Sanborn, MN”
That’s incredible. Not good, not bad, but certainly would be the crowd draw at any Jeep or Willys show. I wish it were closer, so I could see it in real life!
Yikes!!!!! Would that be a cool ride to add to my Tour Jeep collection! Someday… Someway… but not in the cards right now.
Those were the most ridiculous things I had ever seen, even after living with a Mexican girl for 8 years.
But after Dave’s tutorial several months ago, I think they are sooooo cool. It’s about 6 hours from me the way I drive, and I have no where to park it indoors, but I am on vacation that week.
If you owned one of these, I think people would hunt you down, and there would be fist fights over which float it will tow in the parade. I’m thinking I have to at least look at it.

I hope you get it, John… or another eWillys reader so we can learn where it goes next, and know that it lives on. I saw vehicles just like this in Panama City Panama in 1981 and was amazed by them then. Interestingly, Afghanies (sp?) do this kind of modification to their trucks, too. We call them “Jingo Trucks”, in part because they often jingle with all the ornamentation.
This sold for $5700.
Hi Justin, I went fishing instead. As I said, I have no room to store it indoors. But that seems cheap compared to what I recall researching when Dave’s feature exposed them to me.
