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 .

Here’s another nice looking Jeepster from Jeepster Jim.
“Really nice Jeepster that does not need Restoration. The top is ok and the interior is nice. It has the side curtains and runs and drives great, including the overdrive. It has new wheels and tires and comes with an original, working factory heater. The chrome is in good condition and the lights and the horn also work. I’d feel comfortable driving this car anywhere.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,900.
This looks like a time machine that would take me back to the 1950s.
” Representing the perfect car for the Islands, Beach house, or just traveling on the coastal roads, this 1949 Willy’s Jeepster is both unique and fun.
Powered by a overhead valve four cylinder engine, coupled to a three speed manual transmission with overdrive, it is quite spry and cruises nicely at highway speeds.
Limited numbers of this year were produced, resulting in their somewhat scarcity and adding to their collectibility.
Representing a older restoration with very nice seating, its a driver quality car. Everything works and the engine and transmission perform flawlessly with no unusual noises or smoke. Additionally it is fitted with a new convertible top and boot. Approximately 70K miles.
Certainly a great vintage, classic, antique and collectible car to own and drive. Additionally a great investment car.
Fully serviced with fresh oils, new battery etc…”
I think I like this one better than the red. Must be the yellow . . .

“1948 Willys Jeepster Convertible. It has the L-134 engine (flathead) and has the flat front end. It also has side steps, deluxe steering wheel (full circle chrome ring) and the T badge up front. It was built in the combined plane around the middle of 1948, along side of the 48 wagons. The title shows 1949. That means it sold it 1949, but was manufactured in 1948. It was a gift from my grandfather and has been sitting in storage for almost 30 years. There are no missing parts and is in good shape on the outside and on the interior. It needs to be in the hands of someone who is interested in doing the mechanical work to get it running again.”
UPDATE: Was $15,000. **SOLD**

“Original 1949 Jeepster — NOT restored, but no dings, no rust. The interior is clean. The previous owner replaced the head gasket on the original 134 c. i. flathead engine and I replaced the six-volt battery, all belts, hoses, and radiator and did an oil change — all less than six months ago. The top frame and original side curtain frames are fine, but the top needs new fabric and both it and the side curtains need new plastic for the windows. The brake shoes all are at about 75%, but the I can’t open the master cylinder so I don’t know if the lines are bad or the master cylinder might be, but in either case the brakes DO NOT work. I have priced a master cylinder online at $69. The three-speed transmission with overdrive and clutch are strong, but the synchro appears to be bad. Sometimes it will go into gear just fine, other times it grinds. I spoke with a Jeepster guy in Florida who says he will do a complete transmission rebuild for $295 plus shipping. I have driven the Jeepster around my property (without the brakes) and the steering seems fine. It accelerates well, does not smoke (except when first started for about 30 seconds if it’s been sitting for several weeks) and doesn’t make any strange sounds. I was going to do a full restoration on it, but too many projects are ahead of it in line. The only damage I have seen is a hole about 2 inches in diameter on the side of the driver seat (shown in photos), a piece chipped off the right side rear seat step (shown in photos), and the hubcap on the spare tire has a crack in it . . . more on eBay”
This looks in very good shape.
