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 .
Looks like a fun ride.

“This Jeepster has had a frame off restoration. I would not call it show room quality, but very nice and presents well. The engine has been rebuilt and it is ready to drive. There were roughly only 20,000 of these made and they are very difficult to find. The interior has all been redone and I could not find any rust on it. It has never seen the rain. The restore job was done about 20 years ago. I drove it up to my house and the gentleman I bought it from drove it around also. The title is clean.”
Looks in great shape. The engine uses a modern filter.
“Nicely restored 1950 Willys Jeepster. 6 cxl. engine. Recently gone over by local mechanic and given a clean bill of health.
This car was restored in 1998. I have many picture of the restoration, Engine removed and rebuilt. Body professionally repainted. 12v. system. New carburetor. The restoration even included a CD player an AC. (The AC is under dash, did not mess up the dash, and can be easily removed)
This car sold a few years ago for $20K. (I have documentation). I purchased it for less last year. I have had fun with the car, but some priorities have changed, so now want to find it a new home.
This Jeepster runs very well and feels good at higher speed . Tires are in good shape Paint in excellent shape. Color is a deep gray and appears to have been done quite professionally. Body is in excellent condition. Top and side curtains just OK. ”

Body has been media blasted and primed.
“1948 Willys Jeepster. Rust free and very straight body which has been plastic media blasted and primed at the cost of $2700. All the interior has been done in a modern pattern/materials. The plan was to make it a driver with a 225 Buick V6 and turbo 350 which have both been completely rebuilt and included as well. The frame has not been modified yet so if you wanted to go back to the original drive train you could very easily. The original engine and trans are gone and not included. Some of the plating and polishing of the stainless has been done as well. Lots of extra parts included. A lot of time and money were spent on the project unfortunately there wasn’t enough time left to finish it. It’s a great start for someone wanting a project. Due to the location in the garage pictures are not the best.”
