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 $4200.
Glenn spotted this Jeepster at a great price (assuming it runs).
“1948 Willys Jeepster, 4 cyl., top complete but dry rotted, 4 new side curtain inserts.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
Looks great for the price.
“FUN! FUN! FUN! Ready for parades. 1949 Willy’s Jeepster. Older restoration. Could use some TLC. Runs, drives, stops well. Good twenty footer.”
Runs and drives.
“Want a classic that is original? It runs, it drives….very original including engine. I love this car but need room in garage. Take care of her for me.”

Patrick found this great series of pages hosted by the Milwaukee Art Museum. The site contains over 160 Brooks Stevens drawings and models. Wagon, FCs, DJs, and Wagoneers are included. Start here to see all of the concept photos and drawings.
Patrick put together this animated GIF which shows the different noses Brooks considered.
This is an August 1946 Jeepster concept:
Brooks Stevens Jeepster 1946-08-01
These DJ concepts are always interesting:

This has a toyota drivetrain.
“1948 Willy’s Jeepster for Sale. Frame and drive train is off of a 1987 Toyota SR5 4 cylinder 5 speed 4 wheel drive. 85,830 Original miles”
This looks promising, though it needs the wiring finished.
“Restored 1949 Willy’s Jeepster with original completely rebuilt “L” head 4 cylinder engine.
“Body-off” repainted and rust proofed throughout. Red interior trim in good condition.
Window side curtains require new plastic and welting. All new electrical wiring is contained in front
cowl area but needs to be connected to engine and throughout to get the vehicle running.
Many extra Willy’s parts included. Have Michigan title.”
