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; This appears to have sold. Was listed at $1300

It sounds like a really unique project, but it is still a project.
“You have to see this in person – photos don’t do it…Photos are as it came out of the paint shop…
You’re driving this down the street – it grabs the attention of EVERY single person it slips by…this is a customized 1948 Willys Overland open top roadster sitting on a custommade 2×3 mild steel box frame, built by a winning race car engineer to accommodate all the acroutrements of a donor car, a Nixxan 300ZX drive train, wiring harness, digital dash, accessories, and electronics.
I have nearly everything to complete this project (black interior fabrics, interior panels ready to cover, console, mirrors, power seats, etc etc etc). Low, and compact (only 13 feet long!) and light. Should do 150-160 mph (donor car was capable of that) and was designed to corner like an IROC Z car according to the chassis designer (rack and pinion steering, coilover shocks all around, 100% adjustable suspension, urethane bushings used throughout). Good looking 3.0 litre V-6, (looks like v-8) injected and turbocharged (225 hp, 195 ft lbs of torque – only 19,000 miles on the donor vehicle). Includes entire wiring harness, digital dash, factory stereo system with subwoofer amp and 12 speakers, most everything I can think of with the exception of driveshaft (I have the original with u-joints – just needs tube)
5 speed trans, power assist disc brakes and steering,ARE wheels, tongue and groove oak for rear bed, etc etc etc. Way too many features to list…this was a very high tech donor car).
This project is about 70-75% complete – the tough stuff is done, and everything that has been done thus far has been done right. The body is nearly flawless and has NO BONDO – all steel, and smooth as a baby’s butt over the entire car. New Corvette yellow…Nothing like it ANYWHERE ON EARTH…My 20 year effort is your gain.”
This looks quite nice for the price.
“This is a barn find, or a old hot rod….. Whatever, This Jeepster has a 256 Chevy V8 (1956), and a 4 speed manual transmission, a new top and bucket seats. Anyway the history this car was build in the early 60’s and has not been changed since. The brakes are new and it runs drive and stop. It can go to any car show or cruise. I hate to sell her but I do not have time anymore. Please call J.J. @ 360-921-1062. II will not answer e-mail or text messages… Sorry phone calls only”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500
This looks solid.
“4 cylinders , Manual , all original. Convertible. 95% restored. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800
(04/30/2011) This might not be a bad price, but it would be nice to really know if it runs.
“This is a 1948 willy’s jeepster!It is in great shape and ready to be restored! very clean car.was running when it was parked. has been stored in a garage with fluids drained. tires are still in good shape also and hold air with no leaks. please call to come take a look at this beautiful car! $3800 O.B.O.”
UPDATE:: This was priced at $2500. Tom got it running. It looks like he did very well (see the comments).
The body sure looks good. I wonder if it runs.
“1949 Jeepster, $2,500. Body in good shape. Some rust underneath. Has been in storage for the past 15 years.”
