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: **Status Unknown** Was $15,000.
(11/01/2015) An unusual build with a Kubota diesel engine.
“1949 Willy’s Jeep with a diesel engine. This jeep was completely built with all new parts except for the frame. It has a Kubota V2203 engine. This is a one of a kind build. Over 32,000 invested . No title, bill of sale only. First 15,000 takes it. ”
The engine looks like a clean install. Would like to know more about that.
Very clean look overall. Exceptional attention to detail.
I’d like to hear it run 🙂
Very clean engine. Almost looks factory. I bet it sounds awesome.
Here is the place to buy your conversion kit.

Looks like a first class conversion.
But I think his pricing is a little nuts.
Thanks for the link Jay. I didn’t know about that one.
I recognize that red jeep, but didn’t know Jake had installed a Kubota. I’ll find out how he likes it.

Very cool build, but $25k without a title is asking a lot.
Nice looking conversion and Jeep. I wonder if it really is a 492A as they are kinda rare with not many being made that year while transitioning over to the 3as
Does anyone have any more info on this? Who bought it? Who had it for sale?
Is it still available?
Hi John,
I haven’t seen this relisted, so it might have sold. However, none of my readers has reported buying it. If I learn more about it I will drop you a note.
