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 $900.
It doesn’t look too bad for only $900.

UPDATE: An update on Rapid Transit
Jeff and I were exchanging emails about drag jeeps the other day. We were both sharing our memories about Roger Monson’s drag jeep, Rapid Transit. As Jeff notes, it certainly had its own sound!
Jeff wrote “it had an actual belt driven blown 4cyl pontiac motor in it. A small 471 blower, insane RPMs and crazy loud! If ya didn’t cover your ears when it came by it HURT. I saw it run @ the old firemountain drag strip @ washougal in the mid 1980s”
I’ve included a pic of it below. Wes has collected a variety of old school Sand Drag vehicles at offroadracecanada. Check it out!
David wrote to me today to tell me about his first wagon project. He got a great deal on it, especially for an eastern wagon, and has a restoration plan in place.
He writes, “My rough plan is sort of a rolling resto on a budget at first. Specifically, get motor running first…then brakes. Next will be things that need to be done for safe driving (signals, lights, windows fixed, emergency brake etc.).
After that I’d like to sand/blast to metal the worst of the unprotected areas (hood, roof paint pretty much gone) and epoxy paint and primer them, then gradually work on other issues. But first things first, have to get running and driveable cuz the wife is not gonna be very tolerant of it taking space in the garage if I can’t move it easily, lol.
On down the road I’d like to do a frame off. I’m not one of those chop em up and put a v-8 in it kinda guys, but not opposed to some mods like a brake upgrade or electric wipers to improve driveability. My overall goal of restoration will be to keep it as original as possible but I plan to use and drive it, not restore to mint or show condition (but who knows what the future will hold? I don’t plan to change anything that couldn’t be changed back to 100% original easily)”
Best of luck David!
No pics. I’m not sure what is here.
“For sale. 1949 mb four wheel drive origi.nal jeep. A little peice of history. Does not run complete parts. I been putting together for some time..I need cash or trade four truck email me for pics”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $800.
Looks good for the price.
“4 cylinder F-Head, runs but needs carb work, have new brakes, wheel cylinders and master cylinders that need to be installed.”
It looks rough, but is kind of cool, too.
“1946 FORD School Bus, originally a 20 (I think) passenger, converted to a RV in the fifties now used for storage. They tell me that the motor is a Canadian block Mercury. I drove and parked it here when I moved to the east mountains in 1998. It has never been wrecked, the front clip is perfect. No radiator. Pictures available on request. Actually I will post some pictures as soon as I can. IT DOES NOT RUN
$5000 505-286-2923 ask for Dennis
I might consider a trade for a roller I can make a hot rod out of ………….
A fifties coupe… a V8 Vega… an Anglia… a 40’s Willys (I’m dreaming) ”
