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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
Looks nice.
“1968 Jeepster needs some TLC That’s why I’m not selling it for $45,000 or more when It’s all fixed up.
Real nice tuck and roll interior.
some minor problems I noticed:
1: stears kind of difficult. 2: needs some paint. 3: back window bottom needs re-gluing to convertible top.
I believe in the condition it is in now it’s value is still quite high.
It’s mine and my brothers fathers car.”

“This old jeep is an older restoration and has been modified to make a better driver. It has a 350 V8, auto transmission, Ford 9″ rearend. Ive installed a new wiring harness, fuse panel, gauges, and a new poly fuel tank and sending unit. It does have some rock chips from driving it around. The top is in excellent condition and is white. The side curtains are not excellent, but they work. They are black, (perhaps original)? It Does not have a hitch on it. It’s just parked in front of my old camper.”
UPDATE: Seller claims he must sell this weekend, but the price remains the same ….
(0905/2017) Has a little different look to it with the paint, the side pipes and the covered rear.

The door side panels on this look interesting. Perhaps a faux bamboo look??

UPDATE: Thanks to Seth for verifying this scam. Here’s what the “seller” wrote to him:
I’m selling it because my husband died 2 months ago (he had a heart attack) and it brings me bad memories, that’s the reason I want to sell it a.s.a.p.The total price is $7,000. No damage or hidden defects. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained. I have clear title, without liens or loans on it, everything is under my name. Me and my son decided to sell the house and we moved to my parents house in Twin Falls, ID trying to start a new life. We need to meet up to my parents place or I can arrange delivery – it will cost the gas money and I will pay for it.
I want to use eBay Motors services (5 days of testing prior purchase) for the safety of both of us, so if you’re interested in purchasing, please provide me your full name for the bill of sale, your full address and a phone number so I can notify eBay that you’re selected as my possible buyer, and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure.
The 1) hurry to sell, 2) sell via eBay, 3) paying for delivery are three warning signs of s scam. A 2015 eBay forum post discusses a similar scam.

“1950 Willy’s Overland Jeepster for sale. One of only 19000 built between 1948 and 1950. This model was one of the last production phaetons built. Good solid old car, not complete but a great candidate for restoration or for a rat rod.”
