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 $2000.
(06/05/2012) This might be a diamond that just need some polish.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $6000.
(05/31/2012) This looks good. It has a custom gauge dash.
“Beautiful Willys jeep with a rebuilt 283 engine with less then 50 miles on it. The jeep also has new tires with less then 50 miles, in addition it has anew soft top and doors still in the box. The jeep is in pristine condition, and very clean, it shows no signs of rust. I wish I could keep the jeep, but with a new baby in the family I need a family vehicle. I am set on the price and would rather keep it then budge off the asking price.”
As you can see below, we had a ‘blast’ on a quick trip over Snoqualmie Pass last night, getting stuck for an hour on Interstate-90. You can’t see it, but there are miles and miles of traffic and cars on the highway just to the left of the picture.
Today, I’m patching the roof, running Biscuit, and an assorted collection of ‘sonny-do-chores’. So, updates will be later tonight.
Also, tomorrow we will be checking out the new Le May Auto Musuem, which opened last month. We will file a report tomorrow.

UPDATE: Dan posted a whole bunch of photographs from the Willys America BBQ and the Caravan on July 7th at the oldwillysforum. Sure looks like it was fun. Here are three photos:

I looked up the artist’s name, Pettinato, but couldn’t find anything else by him/her. The body style seemed like a Ford Pygmy to me.

This looks like a solid jeep for the price.

UPDATE: Sold. Was priced at $1500. Apparently this didn’t run after all, but does turnover.
This runs, though it is now powered by a Ford motor. And, the inside needs a make over, but the price might be good. It’s been converted to propane, too.
“This is a good restoration project. RUNS! 1957 FC 170 with small Ford motor; with a propane fuel system. Included with the deal is an extra cab.”
UPDATE: Was $12,900. **SOLD**
This looks like it has gone through a frame-off restoration. Not totally restored to original condition though.
“Better than New.
Total Frame Off Restoration”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1700
Engine runs, but produces white smoke.
“1949 Jeep Willys
Asking $1,700 OBO. Great Jeep Willys for restoration or hunting.
Body:
1949 Willys body in excellent condition, only small dent on driver’s rear corner. No rust other than normal surface rust as expected. Windshield frame is in good condition, does not have glass.
Interior/Electrical:
All electrical is in working condition (12V). Front seats need re-upholstering but pans and mounts are in good condition.
Engine:
1948 Willys. Engine runs but produces a white smoke. I think it needs new piston rings. I have not opened up to find out. Currently gas tank is pulled (in good condition but pulled to clean interior). Has new plugs and good battery. Will include new oil filter.
Drive train:
4×4 and hub locks work well.
Tires:
In good condition but not original look.
Brakes:
In working condition.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.
Philip forwarded this. I’m try to get my brain around this, but I can’t quite picture a trencher here.
“Willeys jeep trencher. Seems to all be there. $350.00”
