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: Learn more about the green jeep in the comments section.
Upon learning about the jeep at the Fantastic Cavern’s Visitor Center in Springfield, Missouri, Bill had to see it for himself. Fortunately for us, he took along his camera. Since Friday is the official start of the Christmas season, even though ‘Black Friday’ has now leaked into the evening of ‘Turkey, Christmas presents in the back of jeep just seemed a perfect way to launch the season (for us Willys nuts anyway).
Here’s photos of the original jeep. Bill was told it was a CJ-2A, but it seemed more 3A to him.
Here are some pics of the new propane fueled jeeps:
According to Glenn, “My buddy in Sylvania, Ohio says this car didn’t survive long as it was hit at a railroad crossing. This is the only one they did, announced in a few press outlets, and the project promptly (quietly) abandoned.”

“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.”
