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 .
This December 1948 Willys-Overland “4-Wheel-Drive Farm Vehicles” advertisement appeared in the Farm Journal.
It’s currently for sale on eBay
UPDATE II: Amy is wondering if anyone knows where this Jeepster is? It was last for sale in Vermont in November of 2018 …
Amy wrote, “It belonged to my grandfather. I was unable to buy it when he passed and to see it for sale again, it would mean the world to me to know where and if I can get it back. I spent my summers working on and going for drives in this car. It was my grandfather’s pride and joy. Please any information you have is appreciated.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $9800.
(07/26/2018) I like it, though I’m not a fan of the digital speedometer.
“1949 Willys Jeepster with a ford flathead engine five speed transmission ford rear end Mustang two front end and rack and Pinion steering Front disc brakes runs great is a fun jeep to drive”
Scott alerted me to this ad. The M-38A1 owner lost his windshield while towing it.

“Lost While Towing — Lost my M38A1 windshield from the trailer while towing between Burnet Texas and Mason Texas on Hwy 29. Reward”
Route where windshield was lost.
Looks like some nice work on what could be a former DJ-3A Convertible.

Was running recently.
“47 Jeep Willys with 77,577 miles on it. It was originally my college car here about 4 years ago. It ran when I parked it there but didn’t want to start when I turned it over here a day or two ago. I completely built the rear end, new starter, new carb, as well as purchased an alternator and mounting bracket for that as well. Rear seats are in better condition than the front seats. I have the old carb, old starter, as well as a spare tire and spare tire bracket. I am assuming someone who knows what they are doing could have this thing running within an hour.”
Has a variety of updates.

“Its not perfect but in better shape than some ive come across. It does run and drive though I’ve only taken it short distances. Ive rewired it, lights work. All new brake lines and hoses, brake cylinders and master brake cylinder as well. I had the head off and lapped the valves, new Copper head gaskets and head bolts. I robbed the carb and gas tank from my other Willys and they come back off once this is sold. That said I have the original carb for this and it just needs to be either rebuilt or cleaned (kits are $45.00) and I have the original gas tank that can be fixed/repaired. (Actually have 2 repairable tanks) Best offer, no trades. Located just south of the Chrysler Tech Center in Auburn Hills Michigan 248-736-4972.”
