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 .
This was in the process of being restored, but the owner(?) suffered a stroke. It’s not clear to me how disassembled it is.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
This unusual Jeepster is for sale through Facebook. There are enough unusual things about it that I began to wonder if it is a prototype of some type. It seems to have the top from a wire gauze air cleaner typically seen on the Kaiser Darrin and some DJ-3As (surreys and converibles in particular). The sliding windows on the door are also interesting. That’s what got me thinking that there might be something unique about this rig, possibly even a prototype of some sort??

UPDATE: I’ve seen this one all over. It’s a scam.
Tim shared this one. He’s concerned the price is too good to be true. I think it is right on the edge. Proceed with caution. After a few searches, I found the same ad in Portland. I suspect this is a scam.
“Runs well, 3 speed transmission with overdrive. Recently painted, interior and convertible top in good condition. 5 new tires with tubes, the bumpers, hood trim and interior dash trim all have been re-chromed.”

“1947 Willys Jeepster, 2wheel drove, no engine or trans, restorable condition. $1500 obo. Please no calls after 9pm”
At #10595, seems like an fairly early Jeepster.
“Here is a Willys Jeepster I bought recently. Flat head 4 cyl, 3 speed with overdrive, 98K miles. I’m really more into early Ford Broncos, so I’ve decided to sell the Jeepster. This is the second one I’ve owned. She is a good driver. There is some rust in the floors and rockers, I have new in the box floor pans and rocker panels if you’re wanting to restore. Plus some other extra parts including an aluminum radiator. Personally, I would enjoy it the way it is. She also has 5 new tires.
I installed a new clutch last week and bought a new 6 volt battery. She runs, drives and stops as a ’49 Willys should. I have the front and rear side curtains. The top frame is complete and in good condition, but needs a new skin. This is the only Jeepster online below $10,000.00. If you come see it, you’ll buy it!! Tennessee title in my name.”
