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: Bill points out that the second one may be a SC-1 model. Jim Allen reported on that model here.
Includes extra parts as well.

“I bought this truck last summer hoping to make it my project truck but living in the city and not having a shop I bit off much more than I can chew. Now looking to sell it and get some of my money back on it. I think it would make an awesome restore project but someone that has the time and expertise. The guy I bought it from told me that the motor would turn over and it’s not locked up. I haven’t personally crank it though. It did have oil in it. I started to break down some of the parts planning to sand them and clean them up a bit but I still have everything you see in the pictures except the seats. They were pretty far gone.
Make me an offer.”
Travis spotted this rare Hurst Jeepster Commando model. However, it looks like this one has added gauges in the middle of the dash. (This video shows a stock dash, though the Hurst Badge on the hood appears incorrect). Here are some black and white photos of a HJC.

“1971 Jeep jeepster hurst wagon. #99 out of 103 produced. This vehicle was built on the last-run of Hurst Jeepsters.

New interior, headliner, seat covers and paint. Recent paint and chrome, stripes and freshly painted engine compartment, undercoated body. NOS owner’s and repair manual. 74,125 original miles.”
The numbers at the bottom suggest to me the date of this brochure is September, 1961. But, this still has the split glass, so those numbers might not be referring to the date.

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $16,500.
It’s best termed a mechanical restoration, as there are still some imperfections on the interior.
“1969 Jeepster Commando 4×4 with removable hardtop. Completely rebuilt 255 “Dauntless” V6 and extensive work on mechanicals to make like new. All work done less than 6k miles ago. Odometer reads 86,240k. Receipts and photo documentation will be provided. Three speed manual transmission shifts perfectly and allows for great cruising speeds around town or on freeway. Seats are comfortable and material is in great shape.
Rare vintage decals and black plates add to great original looks. Jeepster has been stored indoors and in Ojai for most of it’s life. I have spent over $7,000 on upgrades and mechanical restoration which include; new motor, new brakes and drums, new suspension, new tie rods, new exhaust, new radiator, carb rebuild, new vintage style off road tires, new gas tank, hoses, and sending unit, new tow hitch and wiring (never used).
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.

Ted spotted this one. It looks like there’s some parts value here. It doesn’t have an engine.
“I have a clean titled 1969 Jeep Commando. The Jeep body is straight and complete with very little rust. The floor boards are solid. The negatives are the original 225 V6 is missing, the front frame is tweaked, the tailgate is rusted and the back window is not there. I am moving with to many projects.

Ted shared this nice looking Commando.
“This Kaiser Jeepster Commando Truck (Half Cab) is pure joy. I can’t tell you how much fun this little truck can be. I drove a 69 Jeepster when I was in high school, and when this 1971 project presented itself, I couldn’t resist. I bought this Jeepster from a guy who had it parked in a airplane hanger around Colorado Springs. Because I was very familiar with the original Jeepster’s I took great pains to find original parts and did my best to make it as pure of a Kaiser Jeepster as possible. I even bought a Half Cab that had been crushed to obtain the orignal black moulding pieces (that are impossible to find!). The white truck bed cover is an original Whitco Jeepster top that I was lucky to find new in the box. This Jeepster has a Dauntless V6 motor with a three speed transmission. The 4 Wheel Drive works very well.
I’ve driven it back and forth from Colorado to Wichita KS several times. I have an excellent mechanic in Estes Park as well as another in Wichita. These guys have loved working on it. I have had everything reviewed, and this car is in as good of shape as one could expect from a 1971 Jeepster. The Half Cab’s really turn an eye. It seems to me that many people have seen the Station Wagon’s and the Convertible’s but have seldom seen the Truck.”
