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 .
It looks like the rear area has been customized. Might be worth a look at this price.

“Decided to sell our 1950 Jeepster, 6 cylinder. Even has the rare “6” emblem on the hood. Clean TN title in my name. New over the past year: tires, brake master cylinder and wheel cylinders, new aluminum radiator, rebuilt starter, rebuilt water pump, carb rebuilt (twice), plugs, plug wires, distributor cap, button, points. The engine was supposed to be rebuilt before I got it. It idled, but wouldn’t rev, prior to all the work. Slip the clutch and it pulled in 1st and reverse in the garage. Also has the overdrive unit. After the work……..nothing. I added an electronic ignition conversion, nothing. We’ve owned this for several years, always stored inside. We’ve come to understand that we will not get this car up and running and have moved on to other projects. This is a solid car that just needs someone’s magic touch, no side curtains (we have frames), and no top (we have the bows on the car).”
Bill shared the nice looking Jeepster at what might be a pretty good price, though the gauges and overdrive need to be wired. It was also highlighted on Barn Finds.

“Up for auction is this 1949 Willys Overland Jeepster. Very solid sheet metal, I could only find two rust through spots on it, one behind drivers door and one on the left lower hood which I took pictures of. It has light surface rust that should sand off easy. The engine turns freely, trans shift through gears and it rolls very easy. It does steer too. Gauges busted out. Car is pretty complete. Hotrod, ratrod, or restore. The serial number indicated it is a VJ2 Jeepster that was built right around the cutoff date for 1948 models and the beginning date of Nov. 1, 1948 for the 1949 models. With the serial number tag under the edge of the dash,
This appears to be a project.

“Top end was rebuilt on engine but the new oil line broke causing the lower end to knock. May just need bearings which are easy to install. It was a Shriners car, so interior is not original. Carpet is indoor outdoor. Not sure of rust? Top bows are rusty and not installed. And has all but one fender steps. Rare car. Fun to drive. 6 volts, except to start is 12 volts. Not sure why they didn’t just convert it to 12 volts. Looking to sell or trade toward a 67 to 72 C10/c20 plus cash. Looking for a 67-72 c10. Box full of trim and various parts including a used working speedometer. My hands don’t work anymore so I’m not able to repair it. It’s in East Wenatchee”

“Dressed in white with red trim, this Jeepster cuts a clean, classic look from its six-bar grille to its narrow taillights. The bodywork is straight and solid, the engine bay is extremely tidy, the cargo area is clean with a spray-on liner and the chrome bumpers fit tightly to the body. There is new weatherstripping, a full-size spare tire and wheel in the forward end of the cargo bay, just aft of the cab.
No price on this modified Jeepster.

Mike spotted this estate-sale Jeepster Convertible. This looks like a great one for the price. If I weren’t buying a different jeep at the end of Feb (yep, we head out on Feb 27th), I’d consider this one as I’ve though a Jeepster Convertible would be a neat vehicle for around these parts.
