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 .
Has a V8.

“1949 Willys Jeepster VJ3. I was told the car originally had the 4 cylinder engine. The gentleman I purchased from replaced it with a 6 cylinder engine which I was told was from a Studebaker. It is actually an F-161 from a 1952-54 Willys Aero or Wagon. He thought the car was under powered with the 4 cylinder. Manual transmission with overdrive. Car was also repainted from the original blue to the cream/red color. Not currently running. I had it running 20 years ago for what it’s worth. Engine turns over. Interior is in good condition with original rubber floor mat. Side curtains are there as well. Solid condition. A good cleaning would have it show well or it’s ready to restore back to original. Asking $7,500. Located in Greencastle, PA. Not far from Carlisle and Hershey car shows.”

Ken shared this rare Jeepster SC-1 Sport Commando. This one has had some mods. You can learn more about them in the Motor Trend article: https://www.motortrend.com/features/1710-1971-jeepster-sc-1-hurst-commando/
“This 1971 Jeepster Commando SCI and the 1971 Jeepster Hurst Edition were built for only a couple of months or so making them the rarest Jeeps ever built. Only around 300 of each were ever built and around 125 Hurst Editions are known to exist and less SC1’s are known to survive making it the rarest Jeep known.
I bought it pretty much as is a few years ago adding the wheels and tires. Everything mechanical was rebuilt like the V6 engine and upgraded in horsepower with 4bbl carb, turbo 400 tranny both rear end and front end. Power Steering and Power brakes were added and an aftermarket stereo replaces the original radio and unfortunately small refinements were made to the dash to get an earlier edition radio to fit.
