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 .

1949 Willys Jeepster (My eWillys Rig)
Ken shared his Jeepster with us, while I’ve never met him in person we have interacted on OWF and he is a great contributor over there and has a couple neat long time Willys.
Thanks, for sharing you Jeepster.
If you would like to share your rig with us please follow this link and consider sharing a small story and a few memories or pictures, could be an older Willys from your past as well:
Here are the details and back story on Ken’s Jeepster.

How Long Have You Owned Your Rig?
Dad owned at least since 1958, I owned since 1970
Please add some details or a story about your rig, any special places visited or memories with your rig?
Dad’s 49 Jeepster was red in color with the upper in black. The body was remounted onto a Willys pickup chassis that was shortened 14 inches and retained all the original drive train with a Timken 4.88 rear end, T90 with D18 transfer case, a 265 Chevy small block with power brake booster, a PTO driven winch and spare gas tank from 1955-58 truck. It was not the purest of conversions.
This was one of the main vehicles in the family and we used it at the mountain place, in Laramie, and hunting. Dad would go up to various mining claims in the mountains and salvage ore carts, horse drawn winches, ball mill, and other apparatus from the abandoned mines. He would tell me that he was usually in the lead with various 4WD excursions with his buddies and that they were too scared to drive their universal jeeps as fast as he would go in the Jeepster and especially with side hills.
It had bucket seats out of a Corvair I believe. Another anomaly was the hanging pedals out of a 50’s mercury. Even had a hydraulic clutch with a ford slave cylinder and I believe a master cylinder from a Ford.
We rarely had the top down living in Wyoming and the dust and brass zippers, never got along well.
Notes
I partially rebuilt from 73-81, Sold it to my step-daughter in about 1986, then bought it back in about in 2007 I did a full restoration at that time.
Thanks again for sharing this great back story and history on this one!
1949 Jeepster Medford, OR $5,900
This was shared on OWF the other day, pretty neat Jeepster, looks complete and has a lot going for it. If your looking for a Jeepster might be one to take a look at.
Seller’s description
Rare 1949 Willys Jeepster. Ford 200 6, 3 speed with overdrive. Super straight, solid and complete. (Minus the top.) No rust ! It was in a barn stored since the late 80s. I cleaned it up, sorted, tuned, sanded and primed. It runs and drives surprisingly very well. It’s old, not fast and may need tinkering etc. However, engine runs great, (Was supposedly rebuilt) good clutch, brakes, lights/ wiring etc. There is a chatter in reverse I’ve yet to address but overall its in very good shape. With minimal work this will be nice. Fixed up these sell in the 20k range so I know it’s priced very fairly. Cool classic. Yes, I have title/ paperwork. Always consider offers and trades but cash is preferred.
Update: Listing removed.
Gail has this Jeepster posted for sale, looks to be between Tyler, TX and Shreveport, LA. Has some items that need to be addressed. But also has a lot going for it, the bright work looks complete, and the bulk of it is there. I don’t have a Jeepster in the fleet…… yet!
I’m not sure those dual autolite horns are original, anyone know? They are period correct and do sound cool, I do like the Wagon and Truck smaller single early horns, they have a classic sound.
There is nothing here. No web page for this addres. 404 Error.
“Punkin” is ready for a new garage. She runs well with her 134L 4 cylinder engine and 3 speed manual transmission.
She isn’t perfect, but not bad for a 75 yr old. A few things have been replaced on her lately. All new wiring harness, wheel bearings, brakes, master cylinder, fuel pump, water pump, fan belt, starter, battery, kit in carburetor, bumpers and steps were re-chromed a few years ago and other necessary items replaced.”

“Or possible trade for engine and stuff for my 63 chevyll.”
Bill shared these two “water/flood damaged” jeeps. I suspect this was from the recent hurricanes. Neither jeep has been assigned to a specific auction yet, so no bidding can be done.
Bill shared what looks to be a good price on a Jeepster. This was also highlighted by Barnfinds: https://barnfinds.com/reliable-rare-cruiser-1950-willys-overland-jeepster/

“I have a very nice, mostly original 1949 Willys Jeepster VJ2. It runs, stops, and drives very well. It has the original seat covers under protective covers, the original floor mats, again under protective floor mats, and the original interior panels, working heater, instrument cluster, and even the original radio that works. It has the original L134 engine with the 3 speed transmission and the overdrive. The top is after market, but it is custom to accommodate the very rare glass rear window. The beauty wheel trim rings and the hub caps are also original. It has new modern tires. All the chrome work is original and in amassing condition. It has a very small rust area on the passenger side floor behind the front seat. I think this one belongs in a museum or in a private collection that can do it justice.”
This low-mileage (less than 18k) late-model Commando was shared by Bill. Looks ready to go. It is featured on Barnfinds.com.

“All original with no rust. Both hard top and soft top. 3-speed manual transmission.”
The wheels were the coolest part of this, but just as I was about to post this I read that part about the wheels not being included.
