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 on eBay.
“You are looking at an absolute classic 1950 Willy’s Jeepster that has been beautifully restored. The Willy’s has been completely gone through from top to bottom. Please take a look at the album that I have created on Flickr.”
I’m not seeing the top, but otherwise this might be a good price.
“
Excellent shape. All Original. Body is totally straight and no rust. Floor pans in good shape. 602-434-1404.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $16,750.
You know, it’s just occurred to me I’ve never ridden in a jeepster (that I remember).
“Dark Red 1950 Willys Jeepster Conv,. Totally restored and rebuilt within the last few years. Jeepster mainly used for parades. Good top and side curtains. 6 cyl, 3 speed, 12 volt. Nice, runs & drives great.”
Here’s another nice Jeepster.
“I have for sale a 1949 Willys Jeepster in need of a good home. Has been garage kept and is rust free. I don’t have the time to give the attention this vehicle deserves. Everything on this vehicle is original, except the top and seat covers which are in good condition. It also comes with the side windows. It has: “Flat Head 4″ Three on the tree manual transmission. Optional overdrive. Previous owner was going to make into hot rod until he found out everything was original. Pulled gas tank to use as template and didn’t put back on correctly, so gas tank has loose connection after going down bumpy road and leaking on garage floor. Haven’t driven in a year, but started and ran great after buying new battery and installing new tune up kit. The only other issue with this vehicle is needing a new paint job and new tires. Serious inquiries only can contact me at (734) 558-1878. No trades. I have enough projects right now.”

Yeah, it’s a project, but it sounds like it might be cool. Hopefully, the body and interior are in at least decent condition …

This is a great looking stock Jeepster.

Here’s an unusually themed Jeepster.
“This is one neat old Rod. It’s on a s10 blazer frame. Its got a 305 4bbl w/turbo 350 trans. PS, PDB,Tilt Steering.8″X15″ rallys on rear, 7″s on the front. Runs and drives great. Has headlights,taillights and brake lights. Oil,Temp,Fuel and Volt gauge. Its painted up with Beetle Bailey Camp Swampy theme.”
I’m not a big fan of the smaller wheels up front, but it’s pretty hot looking otherwise.
“This is a 1949 Jeepster with a 440 six pack motor. Has been in the family for 50 years. Has been kept inside at all times. I am selling because I have no time to drive it and enjoy it, hopefully someone else will enjoy it as much as I did when I had the time. The car has a mopar 440 six pack engine, bored 0.60 over, has large racing cam, carborators have jet kit put in them, 727 transmission with shift kit, 3000 stahl convertor. Pictures show car with 4 barrel no six pack ….”
UPDATE: Still Available
This might make a nice project. The body appears in good shape with all its chrome.
