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 $2500!!!
(09/20/09) This has got a wide rimmed, slanted dashboard fiberglass body. It also has the rear wheel well extended slightly.

It looks like there’s some rust near the driver’s side step. It appears pretty stock.

“
This jeep has been in the family since around 1957. It has always been kept in a nice dry barn and only used occasionally, mostly just to drive around the property. It runs fine and I just drove it to a jeep show last week. The brakes need a little work as well as some of the light bulbs. Asking $3000 or best offer and would like to sell soon to make room in the barn for other items.”
It’s a VEC and has got a variety of modifications. Note the cutouts right at the indents … why oh why?!
“Mileage of 35,363 is actual. Serial No. 23117. This Jeep has been on a Texas Ranch all its life, and never highway driven. 4 wheel drive works great! Manual 3 speed and has both low and high gear range in 2 wheel drive. 4 cylinder flathead 60 horsepower runs like a sewing machine. Overhauled in 1994. Regularly serviced and maintained. All books and records since 1997. Seats and top are heavy vinyl &only 3 years old …. It was originally owned by 3 Rancher/Deer hunting buddies in West Texas. They bought it new in 1946, and the last one died in 1996. I got it in 1997. My Jeep is being sold because I now have a 37′ travel trailer, and I bought a 3/4 ton Ford Super Duty 4 wheel drive to pull it. Dan Barlow. 972 539-1400. 940 550-8634”

It doesn’t run, but turns over. It looks complete, though rough.
“
I am moving and this old Willys project has to go. No title — I have the paperwork for a Rebuilders Title. It belonged to a friend’s Dad — part of his major junk vehicle collection. When they settled the estate, my friend brought it to my place thinking we would work on it togethttp://www.ewillys.com/wp-admin/post-new.phpher. We have both decided to give up, so this ol’ beast has to go. The price is $600 — $500 of that goes to my friend, and $100 is mine for the parts I put into it. Please don’t expect me to haggle on the price — I’m only getting reimbursed for new parts and getting nothing for storing this thing for 3 years. It has the original 4 cylinder engine and turns over fine, I just haven’t got it to start yet. I bought some new parts (coil, cap, condenser, switch, etc.) but haven’t had the time to seriously troubleshoot the issue. There is some spark — it might just need new plugs”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
(08/24/09) This looks like it might be a good price on an updated ’48.
“I have a 1948 willys jeep that I want to sell. I havent went jeeping for over a year. I would rather someone thats going to use it have it. It has a 327ci motor, with a 4speed trans.

I also have two sets of tires, four 35-12.50r15, and five 34-9.50-15 swampers, both are mounted on wheels. ”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2700
(05/22/09) Looks pretty stock. I suspect those are some old classic white walls too?
“1947 Willy Jeep in great condition. Runs and drives with no problems or leaks. 3 speed high and low with 4 wheel drive. New rings, electric fuel pump, new gas tank on drivers side, newly recovered back seat, roll bar, new horn, and boots on shifters. Real nice soft top with no tears included.

(01/21/09) The picture isn’t quite clear enough to be certain, but it appears the passenger step goes all the way to the body rather than turning inward near the end. Also, there’s no drain hole on the side. Either this is a fiberglass body or the metal body has been modified.
“48 willy’s flat fender jeep has original 4 cylinder in it 3000”
This windshield and body kind of blur together. I can’t tell if the pic is blurry or whether something has been changed.
“This jeep is in great shape with a rebuilt motor. Jump in and go.”
