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.
This Jeepster needs some work.
“You are looking at a restorable Willys Jeepster Convertible Phaeton that is an excellent restoration project or will make and excellent street rod.

I will consider a serious offer or an interesting trade. You can own this vehicle for only $2,500.00.”
Jean-Sebastien forwarded a couple links for our Canadian Readers to enjoy. I particularly love the trailer on this, though that Jeepster is gorgeous, too.
“I am selling this 1949 Willys Overland Jeepster Convertible . It has a rebuilt 1964 Buick V6 and an Automatic Transmission. I have 2 sets of tires. True spoke western rims, and a matching trailer. Motor has approx. 5000 miles. I have had it in a few parades. Draws alot of attention if thats what your looking for. Runs and drives really smooth. Power steering, power brakes, have been added to this jeep. The rear end is a ford 9 inch. No oil leaks, or burning. It has a new radiator. I have removed the pin stripping in the pictures. No rust of any kind. No body filler of any kind. This car is solid , solid solid. You will not be disappointed is this Jeep. I will assist in delivery of this jeep in any way I can. I am located in Windsor Ontario just across from Detroit Michigan. This Jeepster is titled a 1949 and some may say that it is a 1950. The vin shows that it is a 49 but with all the dash and front end of a 50. As far as I can tell the car was titled in the 2nd half of that year, Built in Ohio in 49 and exported to Canada the same year. In the US it would of been titled a 1950. If you require any other pics , let me know. The car is in storage at the present time and I would need a day for fresh pics. You can contact me at 519-978-3499 or email me at bdahmann@live.com. Thanks for looking in and good luck. I have a very reasonable reserve on this Jeep . I reserve the right to end this auction for any reason. It is also for sale locally . If you have a rating of 0 please contact me first. I have a good rating of 100 percent and am very proud of that. added note: I also removed the bell in the picture of under the hood. It was used for parades with the Shriners at one time.”

“This is a rough, but very complete Willys Jeepster that was bought brand new by my great uncle. I bought it to resto-mod for my mom, but she has changed her mind and wants me to sell it. It has been hit in the rear. I have removed all of the filler so you can see what you get in the pics. I do have a good, open, TN title for the vehicle. It comes with a locked up engine (F-4 Hurricane) and good overdrive trans and plenty of usable and extra parts. Will consider reasonable offers. I am a car builder and would estimate that you would need about 5K for parts and roughly 300 man hours to get this thing where you’d want to show it. In that shape, it would likely be worth about 9K-11.5K. Will take $750 or best reasonable offer. You must pick up near Coalfield, TN. Might deliver for extra charge”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This is supposed to be restored, but the driver’s side fender looks a little odd to me.
“RARE 6 CYLINDER ! THIS COULD BE YOURS ! Here is a restored 1949 Willys Overland Jeepster Convertible. It is 2 wheel drive, has a newer top and custom cover for when the top is down. It is on vintage Firestone Sport 500 tires with 80%+ tread. Drives great and has been to many custom car shows. Has been garage kept. Has new exhaust and muffler, plugs and wires, battery, and fuel pump. Corvette yellow paint catches your eye along with gloss black fenders. 3 speed manual on the column. No radio. Carpet and seats are in great condition. Has the Lightening Flathead 6 cylinder engine 148 CI with 70 horsepower. Only 2961 were ever made. Has wire hubcaps with yellow background.”
This is a beautiful restoration / customization.
“In addition to all of that, this JEEPSTER runs like a champ. The seats are very comfortable. The Dodge Dakota V6 engine runs smoothly, burns no oil, and is free of undercarriage drips. Power steering and cruise control add to the enjoyment of driving. It is more than capable of highway speeds and climbs the Nevada mountain ranges with ease. All of the chrome trim is without blemish. There is no underside rust. There are no dents, dings, or gouges. The top and side curtains are in good condition. The tires are nearly new.
However, there are two things that need to be done if the buyer wants to put it into show condition. While the paint photographs well, it is not flawless. Close inspection reveals cracks in the finish. The Spoke wheels need to be re-chromed.
I can no longer afford to keep my Jeepster and an airplane at the same time. I love driving the Jeepster, but I put in hundreds of hours building the airplane, and it is the one I have decided to keep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
No obvious rust.
“4 cyl. 3 speed. Only 4066 ever made. Book value $7,000 – $13,000. Only asking $4500.00! Respond by phone only as I am posting this for a friend.”
This looks clean and solid.
