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 nice Jeepster.

(05/31/2014) It runs and drives, but needs some work.
“THIS IS A TRUE 1948 WILLY’S-OVERLAND JEEPSTER. THIS VEHICLE HAS A ‘GO-DEVIL’ 4-CYLINDER ENGINE WITH A REBUILT CYLINDER-HEAD, A 3-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH OVERDRIVE AND A NEW CLUTCH. IT HAS A REBUILT STARTER. IT IS ALL THERE AND IN GOOD SHAPE, BUT NEEDS ‘TLC’. THE CANVAS TOP IS IN GOOD SHAPE. I HAVE THE ‘SIDE CURTAINS’ BUT THEY COULD STAND TO BE REDONE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO 12-VOLT. VEHICLE HAS BEEN INDOORS ALL OF IT’S LIFE. WHEN I FOUND IT, IT WAS SITTING ON BLOCKS AND ENGINE WAS DISASSEMBLED. IT NOW RUNS AND DRIVES. I HAVE TOO MANY PROJECTS AND NEVER SEEM TO BE ABLE TO GET BACK TO THIS ONE. THE HUSBAND SAY’S “IT’S TIME TO LET IT GO”, SO I’M GIVING SOMEONE ELSE THE OPPORTUNITY. IT IS CURRENTLY ‘NON-OPED’. YOU CAN VIEW HER ON SATURDAY, SUNDAY OR MONDAY’S IN SACRAMENTO. $7500.00 OR O.B.O. “
It runs, but needs some work.
“Just out of 20 year storage. Has been converted to 350/350 with 10 bolt rear end. Power brakes. I did get it running but does need some brake work( I have new wheel cylinders on the way). Will drive onto a trailer.
Body is as good as they come, no rust, super solid. Complete. Top and side curtains. Has power front seats that work. I also have original front seats. You could make this a driver very easy, or do a full restoration. Clean Title with both original plates. CA from new.”

I wonder if it includes doors.
“BEEN IN STORAGE FOR THE LAST SEVEN YEARS . RUNS AND DRIVES NEEDS A LITTLE TLC……”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
It’s a project. No motor or tranny.
“have a 49 willys jeepster project that I never got around to building. Its a very solid roller, solid floors solid frame that has been rolled out from under it and painted and then put back but that’s as far as I got , would make a great solid builder . and parts are readily available what you see is what you get. I’ll take 3800. I do have the title. would make a great rod or go back to stock may entertain trades but cash is king (no motor or tranny) but I know a guy who has a 4 cylinder motor for a 49 or 50 jeepster”
UPDATE: Was $16,500. Status Unknown.
Sad reason for selling the Jeepster.
“Up for sale is the last of the great American Touring cars – the 1950 Willys Jeepster Phaeton.
Car must be sold to cover bills as the owner is a cancer patient. If not sold the car will go to the estate and scrapped.
This car has been faithfully restored to the way it was when it left the factory – with a couple exceptions. Engine is the stock F-134 Hurricane and has been professionally overhauled, with less than ten miles on it.. Everything from front grill on back has been overhauled, repaired, or replaced, and works. New floor pans of the OEM type were installed. New paint has rarely seen sunshine and is a factory color scheme of Clear Maple and Black.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
Needs some work, but sounds like it runs.
