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 .
This is unusual.

This looks a well built custom truck for a good price.
“1948 Willys Pickup. Very very rare! 2WD. Only about 1,100 were made. It had less than 38,000 miles when it was turned into a hot rod truck. HP302ci built up with around 10,000 miles. Chop top, suicide doors, mustang 2 front end. Too many features to list. $8,000 cash, as low as I’ll go or will trade for a cool old car from the 50s-70s. You couldn’t build this truck for twice that amount.”
Not much room under that cab.

“1958 Willys Wagon RAT ROD. Recently finished and highly executed. One of the most unique and well put together street rods available. Expensive parts throughout and dozens of hours of labor were required to produce the vehicle you see in these pictures.
This is registered and titled as a 1958 Willys and has period correct California plates. The body has been chopped and channeled and is mounted on a completely custom hand built frame.
This Rat Rod runs strong, is well sorted and very driveable. All gauges and lights are fully functional. The craftsmanship on this build is top notch. Parts alone on this rod would cost more than the asking price.
1930 Model A front suspension, super bell dropped axle 4″, with 39 Ford truck wheels and juice brakes. Rear axle is a Ford 9″ from a 72 pickup with 3.73 ratio. Standard leaf spring rear suspension. Transmission is a rebuilt C6 Auto out of a Heavy Duty Ford pickup.
The motor is a rebuilt 1968 390 bored .040 over with a new Edelbrock carb and custom exhaust pipes with baffles. Steering box is 74 Ford Pickup. Hydraulic brakes all around.
Please call with questions 415 626 1135”

Roberto had some fun drawing up this fanciful jeep rod. You can see more of his illustrations on Facebook or at his website: http://www.robertoflores.com.
It doesn’t run, but this might be a fun project.

Here’s another of these low rider jeeprods.
“This is a 1948 Jeep Willys Built by Dynamic Customs here in Lufkin Texas! This Jeep Willys was just completed this month! It has a 74 4 bolt 350 stock with new gaskets, intake, carb, fuel pump and timing chain. I have taken 150 photos to show you every aspect of this jeep to give you an idea of the extensive work that went into building this ride! It rides like a Cadillac with the coil over shocks, and has loads of horsepower! You won’t find a more reliable and fun to drive rat rod then this 1948 Jeep Willys! Yes it’s registered and fully street legal!”

“Way cooler than a T-Bucket … and a blast to drive!
’46 Jeep Street Rod / Rat Rod. 2×3 rectangular tube frame, Lincoln front end with disc brakes, radius rods and volks steering box. leaf spring mounted S-10 rear (open), 400 cl. small block Chevy with a mild cam, 4 barrel dual feed carb. and roadster headers. Turbo 400 tranny w/manual reverse valve body, B&M ratchet shifter and trans cooler. Also has aluminum radiator and electric fan. Not sure of the mileage on the motor but it has great oil pressure and runs nice and cool. Shocks were never installed but it seems to ride fine just like it is.
Nice build quality and very fast! Ready to trim out to your personal taste … ie: decals, ratrod artifacts etc.
This little beast is street legal and comes with a clear FL. title. Welcome to come check it out before you bid. Otherwise please ask questions first. Only had a couple hundred miles put on it since it was built.
I got it as part of a trade and it’s been sitting a while so if it was me I would freshen up the carb and throw in a set of plugs. The only other thing I can think it could use is a good alignment since it was never done when it was built … but it is 100% drivable like it is. I’m just a stickler for the little things.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900
This might be worth a look as a build. Nice rims and a chopped top.

This shifter is a double barrel shotgun. Don’t run across that everyday.
“Fairly rare 1951 Overland Willys Wagon for sale or possible trade. I drive this thing a few days a week but its time to make room in the driveway so looking to sell or possible trade for something of equal value and uniqueness. I acquired this wagon a few years ago and all the work was done by the previous owner who owned a mechanic shop. Has a strong running 283 with custom exhaust and lake pipes. Lowered a few inches for a cool looking stance, rides pretty smooth and has not failed me yet. All lights and brakes work fine, horn needs a relay. Tires are all in great condition with at least 70% tread left. Has custom double barrel shotgun shifter with what I believe to be a 4 speed automatic. Current with registration and I have pink in hand. Original black license plates. The pictures you see were taken about two to three weeks ago, not last year, and I didn’t water it down to make it look better – like most people do.
This one is different. Still need some work.
