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 .
I can’t quite tell which front hubs this has.
“1972 Volkswagen bug on a 1947 Willys Jeep frame and motor.
Runs good a lot of new parts, all new breaks.
Needs a few finishing touches, lights not working, have a new wiring harness that needs to be installed.”

Getting into the drivers seat past the steering might be interesting.
This is “all kinds of cool” 😉
Was this type of conversion/combination common? …or is this the first you’ve seen it?
Interesting, I am not sure there is enough air flow for cooling with hood closed. It might need some hood scoops for summertime use.
So this would be the opposite of a Veep. A Jeev?
That’s funny, AZ Paul! LOL 🙂
I love this thing! I tried to get my wife to let me go see it over the holidays and she totally shot me down…the position of the body on the frame and Interior look really good, but I agree that cooling would be questionable.
Matt, I agree with you. The body positioning vis-a-vis the wheels appears well executed. I think the body is the right height off the frame as well. And, everything appears level.
do see holes drilled in lower valance of the vw – possible with some creative duct-work this would keep it cool – neat lookin rig though – lots of fabrication ! !
is this bug still for sale?

This is so cool. Don’t mind the grumpy haters. Planning on doing something similiar. Seems like the jeep cj is the best candidate for the swap
