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 $10,000.

(01/17/2017) Need some work. I’m not sure the body is sitting level on it.
“Selling a 1948 Willys truck street rod. I have no idea what the real mileage is on it.
She sits on an early 80s chevy s10 frame (2wd) has a ford 5.0 engine (although my mechanic thinks its a 289)
Edeobrock intake and rebuilt 1405 carb.
Automatic transmission with hurst shifter.
No power brakes
Power steering
Air conditioning
Power windows (passenger isnt working)
Custom fabrication on the bed. smoothed firewall, custom interior, modern wiring harness.
This was a street rod known around the area years ago.
I bought it from a friend not running, but it was driven and registered in 2013. I have it running now, but the engine seems to be missing a beat, still working on it when I have time.
What I’ve done so far:
Rebuilt carb at A-carburetor
New coil
New distributor
New ignition control module
New plugs and wires
Removed and cleaned fuel tank, installed new sending unit.
Had fan rewired
She runs now, but has a missfire I am still working on when time permits. If I were keeping her i would just pull the old driveline and put something newer in.
The parts n pieces in the photo of the interior are chrome parts, engine compartment metal from another Willys, and the hood/grill chrome, removed to protect it while working on her.
There is some rust at the doors, surface rust in the bed and passenger fender.
Otherwise she is in very good shape for her age, nothing I have worked on has been seized or deteriorated. ”

” This is an Arizona titled (clean and clear) 1949 Willys Pickup built on a stretched 1997 Jeep Wrangler frame with a three-link front, 4-link rear, one-ton axles, manual transmission, 505 cubic inch Dodge/Chrysler RB Big Block engine. There are many many details that went into this build and I will try to list them here, but may miss some or forget some. Any really interested parties need to come see this truck first hand and ask questions. I reserve the right to cancel the auction any time in case of local sale, or if I decide to keep the truck. The truck drives great on-road and is extremely capable off-road. It has plenty of power, and turns heads everywhere it goes. Everyone loves it from Rednecks, to Hippies, and everyone in between.
Built as a Jp Magazine project Vehicle there are 8 or 9 3-4 page articles on the build. To see them Google: “Jp Magazine Wicked Willys”
You can also Google “Wicked Willys Ultimate Adventure” for more info on the truck and the UA trip
The truck, since I finished it in june of last year, has been on Petersen’s 4-Wheel & Off-Road Ultimate Adventure for 2016 (that included about 2000 miles of on road and trail driving) Over the Rubicon, Isham trail near Trona, CA, and part of Fordyce. Its also been on a few trails in AZ and all over Moab during Easter Jeep Safari 2017. It drives over almost anything the driver aims it at and is very stable off-road. I’d love to keep it, but I like to build 4x4s and can’t keep them all.
