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 $7500
This still needs some work of some kind.

UPDATE: Javier provided the following information. I guess there was some competition among the ranches? Below are two photos of other hunting vehicles.
He wrote, This is very similiar to one of the hunting cars used on the King Ranch. The Kenndy Ranch mentioned in the arcticle is adajcent to the King Ranch. Below is a picture of the car made for the King Ranch. (From this link to the University of Texas)
Here’s the hunting wagon from Texas featured on eWillys a couple years ago (seems I’ve deleted the original post related to it:
============
David Silberman forwarded this unusual photo from a rare April 1951 issue of Willys Salesbuilder. This one looks like it might have been build on a Jeepster platform.
From this same issue are these two parade float photos:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,900.
This looks good.
“A really fun and iconic driver quality convertible that’s a blast to drive. It gets many “thumbs up” from other drivers. Simply fun and unique
Not a concourse car, but a open touring car with a tremendous amount of character.
Powered by a overhead valve four cylinder engine, coupled to a three speed (“three on the tree”) manual transmission, its simply fun to drive.
A older restoration, it runs and drives well, with many new parts. Its tobacco canvas top with ash wooden ribs is in great condition.
Produced from 1948 through 1951 they are a classic, antique, vintage, representation of times past and a collectible investment.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
The one pics is a little blurry.
“1950 Willys jeepster runs and drives, great classic, needs tlc”

“1950 Willys Jeepster convertible, 63K, yellow/black trim. Classic post-WWII beauty, ready for second restoration. Needs new soft top. F Head, 4 cyl. overdrive.”
When I first read this (admittedly I was watching football), I thought this Jeepster was only $2500. ‘Great deal,’ I thought as I quickly posted it. But then Paul read it more careful. This project is $10,000 and the FINDERS FEE is $2500!!
“Runs, once fuel pump is connected. body and interior is in great shape. VIN# 68878

This was used as a state prop.
“For the price of only $600.00 dollars, this 1948 Jeep Willy could be yours! This bad boy was used strictly as a stage prop. Clean title. No steering wheel, odometer, or any operational parts on the vehicle itself. Strictly the shell and frame of the car. If you are interested or have any questions, please contact David at It’s A Laugh Productions, Inc.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
This Jeepster looks solid.
“You are looking at a 1950 Willys Overland Jeepster, these were only made between 1948 and 1951. It has a 4 cyl flathead engine that runs great. 3 speed column shift. Good tires, rust free body just needs the final detailing. The paint is fair along with the interior. I bought two and one has to go.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1950.
Joe spotted this Jeepster that maybe only a Green Bay Packer fan could love?
