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: Was $5500.
Might make an easy restoration.
“car was restored 28 years ago , driven few times, been stored in a garage since, hasn’t been touched for 9 years until it was brought to my shop 10/21/15 $5500 obo may trade/ partial trade”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Looks like it might make a good project.
“1951 Willy’s Jeepster convertible. Great restoring condition. Very minimal body problems. No engine or transmission. Call Wade.”

Anybody scanned this 16 page Jeepster brochure? This is the first I’ve seen it.

Looks in good shape.
“All original. Runs good. Starts good.

(08/16/2015) This is worth a look.
“Clean, rust free Jeepster, very original except for strong running Buick V6 w TH350 auto trans. Front suspension, all brakes, shocks, steering, all rebuilt this year, Bob’s speedometer rebuilt the orig gauges (expensive but correct) still in box, orig speedo is still in dash and looks, works very good. Very solid unrestored body including rust free floors & frame. Original patina paint (Chesapeake Gray – looks like black) polish and drive as is or repaint. NOS Ivory steering wheel w orig center cap installed, orig seats in good shape. Top replaced 1980s – have all side curtains in great shape. Great driver. Goes a bit. To a good home for Best Offer closest to $9000.”
Runs and drives, but not original.
“Registered in CA as 1950 Willy’s but sits on 1980 Toyota drive train. Upgraded engine,brakes and suspension. $4,000.00 or possible trade for truck. Runs and drives good. Call after 4:00 pm”

UPDATE II: This *might* have evolved into a scam. The seller agreed to sell to one buyer and provided directions to get the vehicle, but now is avoiding the buyer’s calls.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900
Here is an odd one I spotted on Facebook. It reminds me of Bob’s odd Jeepster-like vehicle.
“This is a very strange “Jeep like” vehicle that is not a Jeep. I was told that it was possibly a specialty vehicle built in the 60s and that it originally had a 4 or 6 cylinder engine that the previous salvage yard owner removed and sold. 2 wheel drive. No seats or top frame. It has full length curved metal running board fenders that Jeeps never had. It also has a center console that housed the shifter. It was originally painted a coral pink color so the possibility exists that it was a resort shuttle vehicle. It is NOT, repeat NOT, a Jeep Surrey model! They look nothing like this “thing”. No engine or transmission. I saved it from a salvage yard over 10 years ago. It has 14 inch “A.J. Foyt” mag wheels that probably are original. Rusty but restorable. Buy it for $900 firm, fix it up, and have the only one out there.”
Carson is selling his Jeepster project.

“Selling my 1968 Jeepster C-101 Commando. It was Jeep’s version of the Ford Bronco and IH Scout. It has a SOLID frame, I just painted the whole thing. Has a nice big front brushguard with D ring hooks too. Front and rear ends are good, both Dana’s with 5 bolt hubs. Front hub lockers (Warn I think), new rear leaf spring packs, and solid front ones.
It has a BUILT Dauntless 225 V-6 (Factory motor). This motor has been completely gone through! New connecting rods, Isky Cams and Cranks, Isky lifters and valves, EVERY gasket has been replaced, and I also have all the extras. New distributor cap, newer plug wires, new spark plugs, a new water pump, new alternator, and most of the hardware has been replaced with grade 8. It will need an alternator bracket and radiator.
