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: Price dropped to $4000.

Was built and converted to 4×4 by friend whom I purchased this vehicle about 12 years ago. 350 crate motor, sm420 tranny, Ford 9″ rear, Dana 20 transfer case, Dana 44 Front, bikini top.

“1949 willys Jeepster project For sale is a really nice project with tons of parts even some new nos parts. No time to finish it to many other projects. As far as I know I have everything to finish the build. I have a crate full of Parts for the jeepster Original motor and transmission are gone so the project comes with no motor or transmission I was going to install v6 auto trans from a late model truck so it’s a blank slate the jeepster is rust free and in excellent condition needs very little to finish and I have a great start on it already since last posting I’ve finished the wheels and tires and have painted the frame as well as undercoated inside I’m getting ready to undercoat underneath and paint the Tub or main body Turquoise like the wheels. these are pretty rare old convertibles last picture for attention and how I was going to restore it located southern Indiana asking 4,000 firm what a deal located in Evansville Indiana and a fairly simple project for even a beginner”

I’m less confident in the price than the seller (a dealer) is, but the real reason I posted this was for that unusual spare tire cover.

“You are looking at a 1949 Willys Jeepster Overland Convertible! Solid vehicle with manual transmission and a flat 4. Just got it running and it is getting a new top and a brake job! Give me a call so we can talk about how we can make my car yours. I feel that my price of $12,000 is very realistic for a collector car like this one with the potential that this vehicle has.”
This Jeepster has already been modified with 4WD. It’s also got some early Free-Lock hubs. It might make an interesting project.

This former Grays Harbor Shriner’s Jeepster has even converted to an automatic tranny (probably from a Pinto … looks like one anyway) with a Pinto engine. I love the history on this one. Looks like a great price.
“Rare 1950 Willys Jeepster. Updated with Pinto engine, 12 volt system. Always stored indoors. No rust. Former Shrine clown car. $5,000 Please call, no texting.”
Nice looking Jeepster Convertible.

“I have Two Willys JEEPSTER projects both are 1950. I have enough parts to build both vehicles. These are two door four seat convertibles (Phaeton) style vehicles. These are very nice custom builder projects with pallets of spare parts. One body is on a highly modified original frame with four wheel independent suspension and four wheel disk brakes. The other body does not include a frame and can easily be fit to a Toyota Four Runner chassis or something similar. A zero time Mercedes-Benz 300 Turbo diesel engine and transmission are available at an extra cost.”
The engine spins.
