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 $8000. **SOLD** More in the comments.
Looks in good shape.
“1948 Willies Jeep. Fully restored. Original owner since new in 1948. Runs great and drives like the day it was first built! SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY!!! Do NOT contact me with unsolicited services or offers!”
This Jeep was at in person auction a couple weeks back. A friend of mine went,there was a $4,600 bid that they would not accept.They had $8,000 reserve on it.
This was also listed on Willys for sale.Now it says sold.I cannot confirm that.I did not know about the in person auction until after the fact when my friend told me.He actually was not aware that I have Jeeps.The auction date was Nov. 11 and the reserve that the owners placed on the jeep was $7,000.Not 8 that I originally posted.When I looked it up on Auctionzip there were no pics.Definitely a lot of sentimental value on this one.
Thanks for the updates Doug.
I bought it!
Probably paid more than some would (7000, the reserve for the estate.)
Good: Original owner…lots of history and original owners manual, title, etc…
Was farmed with and was the family’s only transportation for years.
Restored with new body 7 years ago, and most systems freshened. It was 17 degrees when I went to look at it. The Kids of the owner (retired and in their 60’s) didn’t know how to start it, but with a little love I fired it up and drove the frozen bias plies down the road.
Bad: Restored, then it sat unused in a damp, cold barn neglected…surface rust on some edges, icky gas…
bird poop stained paint…
Plan: Restore correctly and putz at 40 mph around the lake in the summer.
Note: Also came with the original canvas half cab and bows!
Pretty raggy, but neat!

Mike,
Thanks for the update. I’ll bet they enjoyed seeing that old jeep run. Nice to hear they had some great history as well. I’m glad eWillys helped! Have fun with it!
