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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5200.
This looks in good shape.
“1948 Willy’s Jeep, 4-cylinder, 3-speed, recently tuned-up, 32″ tires, chrome rims, full-cage rollbar, front and rear tow receivers, new 12-volt battery, electric wipers, front stabilizer shock, rhino-lined inside, WILL CONSIDER TRADE FOR TRUCK WITH PLOW.”
It looks like this might clean up pretty nicely (for the buy it now price of $1,395).
“This is an awesome original example of in all original condition with everything there. It was taken out of service due to charging issue in 1997 and stored. Can be road ready with very little TLC or do the complete restoration. There is light surface rust at the roof gutters, rear wheel openings but other than that it is a very nice California Willy’s. I have a number of projects going and have to move my shop so it must go.”
This seems like a very nice CJ-5 for a pretty reasonable price. There’s a long list of new and rebuilt parts put into this rebuild.

(10/06/09) This looks like a great price for 2 parts jeeps. The cage alone is worth $100+

I ran across this electric vehicle named Jazzy owned by Jim Stack. It appears to be an ‘VEEP’ Kit with a fiberglass body. It is powered by an Advanced DC FB-4001 Series Wound DC 9. It runs in 3rd gear and never needs to be shifted, according to the owner. The top speed is 70MPH with a total range of about 50MPH. There are 10 Trojan T-105 now SG90’s, 12.00 Volt, Lead-Acid, Flooded very minimal battery pack for 30 mile range. All located under center of chassis for stable road handling, great G holding on corners. View all the information here.
“1968 Volkswagen VW chassis. 50 Jeep fiberglass body with front disk brakes carries the Veepster fiberglass 1950 Jeep body.”
Rear of jeep. Note no Jeep rear lights (he was looking for traditional square lights).
Well, I didn’t get as much progress done today as I planned (like I ever do?), mostly because I slept in — way in! I spent much of the afternoon, moving, measuring, leveling, thinking and then removing, remeasuring, releveling … I think you get the picture. It took me a while to realize that my windshield is a little crooked and that was throwing me off a little. Once I figured that out, I started making progress.
The first thing I did today was to brace the loops into place so I could start adding supports. I did some cross tubes first. This helped square the loops, which were off about half an inch each. Once that was done, I started on the rear supports. I’ve got a little grinding left on the driver’s side left rear piece then it will be ready to be tacked into place.
For my tube intersections, I’ve been using this tube coping calculator. I found it off just slightly, but close enough to be of real value. I taped the paper to a thin piece of cardboard (my Haagen Dazs Ice Cream boxes work great — A great excuse to get Dark Chocolate/Dark Chocolate Ice Cream Bars).
Tomorrow evening I’ll complete the back area and start to work on the top side pieces.
Here’s the only pic I have from tonight.
It appears to have an overdrive. If it does, then this appears to be a good price. I’m not sure where O.C. is?
