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: **SOLD** Was $4800.
It doesn’t run.
“1949 Willys Overland Jeepster. Vehicle has a Ford 200 6 cyl that does not run, everything else is all original. Very little rust in the lower rear quarter panel. Otherwise very solid body. I have the top bows.”
Reminds me of a pink surrey.
“I have a nice little restoration project for sale, Its a convertible and no holes in the body just minor surface rust. I do have some parts for the restoration. It has a new chevrolet motor and tranny never been started in it. Great project for the right collector or family ??”

UPDATE: Was $850. **SOLD**
Might be some parts value here.
“This is a 1951 Willys Overland Jeepster. I bought it to turn into a hot rod, but ran into another that was partially built, so this one became a parts rig. It has no floor and no steering column. I have most of the trim for this as well as the windshield, seats (most) and the top. These are known for their very solid frames which have a LARGE X brace in the middle, so you can add your horsepower with little worry. For an extra $300 I’ll throw in an AMC Pacer front suspension I was gong to install. It’s a nearly perfect fit and gives you independent front suspension, power rack and pinion steering and disc brakes, much better than the original transverse left spring setup. The only thing I’ll need to keep for my own project is the back seat frame. I have another, but this one is nicer. Good Ohio title in hand.”
UPDATE ***SOLD** Was $19,500.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
This might make a good restoraiton.
“This was the last true touring car made in the United States. None of the Willys Jeepsters were made in four wheel drive. The body is straight, and ran as recently as six years ago. No body parts are missing. Little or no rust. V6 Buick engine. Needs new brake lines before it can be driven. Kept in heated garage. Ugly oxidized pink paint with matching tuck&roll. Makes everybody smile even unrestored. Firm on price. ”
Glenn forwarded this nice looking Commando. That’s an interesting front bumper. Needs a little work.

“This Jeepster was in running order with new paint and seats in 1974 when I was in High School. It has been under tarp or hard cover for 40 years. I always thought I would get it back in good working order but now it needs to go to someone who wants to own this classic. It has a Ford flat head and 3 speed manual transmission. It was running when I parked it because of some minor wiring issues (lights). I just recently uncovered it and have decided to sell it after all these years.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.

Looks great with that “Rocket” engine. A couple things don’t work.
“This is a one of a kind Jeepster. The Jeepsters were made until 1950 but those sold in 1951 were registered as 51’s, such is the case here. It currently has a mid 50’s Oldsmobile Rocket 324 cubic inch V8 with the (slim jim)hydromatic trans. The car went thru a amateur renovation 5 years ago but is holding up quite well. The paint still shines and the custom upholstery us unused. The car is rarely driven hence the reason for selling. The top is 5 years old but the car is rarely used and always kept under cover. The side curtains(windows) have never been used and are still new. The engine runs like a top and is quite powerful especially in a car as light as the Jeepster. The 4 speed auto trans shifts clean and hard. The after market turn signals work. This car attracts a great deal of attention when driven. Reasonable offer will be considered. The car is absent a heater and the wind shield wipers don’t work and it has no radio.”

This might be worth a look.
“I have owned this car since 1993 , has always been under cover and rarely driven. The paint is 6 years old and still shines. There is no rust on this car. The custom cloth upholstery is like new . The chassis is original and has been rebuilt. The V-8 Oldsmobile engine is a mid 50’s 324 cu in 340 lb torque and runs very strong. The automatic transmission is the 4 speed hydromatic of that area and shifts clean and hard. This is a fun car to drive. There are still a few odds and ends to contend with but it is road worth and starts easily. You are invited to view the car before making offers. If this add is still here it is still for sale. The top is new as well as the side curtains(window).”

See pics, questions, please email.”

“1971 Hurst Jeepster Commando
One of the Rarest Jeeps Made
Up for auction is my 1971 Hurst Jeepster Commando. I purchased this 5 years ago with plans to do a frame up restore, but unfortunately have not had the time to begin the restoration. My loss, your gain.
I have not attempted to start the motor, but the previous owner stated that it will run. I have no reason to think otherwise.
Vehicle has all emblems, special build tags, and Hurst options.
Shouldn’t take much to get it back on the road, or restore as an investment.
Not just a rare vehicle, but also in a rare unmolested state.”

“1950 Willy’s Jeepster, Chrysler
Slant 6, with automatic, balance stock, red interior.
Not a show car; paint shows well, nice solid driver.
Trades considered, asking $8500, more pictures available.”
UPDATE: Joe and his wife were told (more than once) this was listed at $1600 by the seller. However, according to the Craigslist ad it is $16,000. I’d say it is worth somewhere between the two prices.
Joe spotted this at the Kmart Kruse in last night in Phoenix. Looks like a really good price to me.
Joe writes, I told the seller all about eWillys and that I would be submitting these pics and some info… he liked that idea. I don’t know much (or anything, really) about these, but I know I liked this one… and was surprised at the reasonable price.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
This may be a good price.
