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 $10,900.
(09/25/2012) It’s not glossy, but looks good.
“1949 Willys Jeep CJ-3A. 100% restored with original 4cyl motor. Have receipts for all parts and Owners manual. Starts and runs absolutely perfect. Everyone who sees it says, “I want one of those” my reply is who doesn’t? Not many like this around. Only selling because of funds needed for business.”
I’m sure I have posted this one before, but I couldn’t find it . . . nice looking rig.
“PROJECT NOT RUNNING BUT VERY COMPLETE PACKAGE. STORED FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS.
V-8 Aluminum Block Either Buick or Pontiac Version. Stick Shift with Twin Stick 4 Wheel Drive. Very solid tub not your everyday rust bucket. New Best top Soft top and doors Complete. Nice full set of Super Swampers on Aluminum Rims, New Upholstered High Back Bucket Seats and Rear Bench Seat Complete, Nice Full Set of Guages & Brand New Painless Wiring Kit with New Fuse Block Panel, New Heater Box Assembly Under Dash, Tilt Steering Column Installed, Heavy Duty 6 Point Roll Cage, The Trailer is a Custom Built Drop Pocket Jeep Fitted Trailer. Very Well Built and Tows Great because it is low to the ground.
JUST THOSE ITEMS ARE ALMOST $7,000 IN COST. Again the motor has sat for almost 10 years expect to go through it properly, it is still a project at this point. The front of the frame was extended to accomodate longer springs and a better ride as well as a winch pocket in front of the radiator. Was working on a spring over lift conversion, so minor steering issues need finished prior to driving.
Asking $9,995 O.B.O. Possible Part Trade”

Kevin’s wrote me the other day to tell me about some of his videos. He’s got a variety of PTO related videos, including one of his FC operating this neat wood splitter. Just don’t get your hands caught in it! You can see a listing of all Kevin’s videos here.
Craig just posted a good article about a FC-150 Fire Truck an Austrian owner shared with him.

Anyone seen one of these toys in person?
“This toy is in excellent condition. It comes with all parts for the Jeep as well as extra parts for all other builds available. All parts are in great condition including the wrench. Take it apart and build something else! Looks like a wooden erector set!
This item is only the wooden pieces. No box is included. No instructions are included. It will be shipped in the form of the Jeep pictured with the extra wooden pieces. If buyer wood like I can dismantle the toy and ship in pieces.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
This looks like a nice rig with a good motor.

This looks like a time machine that would take me back to the 1950s.
” Representing the perfect car for the Islands, Beach house, or just traveling on the coastal roads, this 1949 Willy’s Jeepster is both unique and fun.
Powered by a overhead valve four cylinder engine, coupled to a three speed manual transmission with overdrive, it is quite spry and cruises nicely at highway speeds.
Limited numbers of this year were produced, resulting in their somewhat scarcity and adding to their collectibility.
Representing a older restoration with very nice seating, its a driver quality car. Everything works and the engine and transmission perform flawlessly with no unusual noises or smoke. Additionally it is fitted with a new convertible top and boot. Approximately 70K miles.
Certainly a great vintage, classic, antique and collectible car to own and drive. Additionally a great investment car.
Fully serviced with fresh oils, new battery etc…”
I think I like this one better than the red. Must be the yellow . . .

Walter spotted this one. What’s that in the dash in the right side of the third picture.
“1948 Willys jeep that has a solid drivetrain: runs great, shifts great, easily goes into and out of 4wd, as well as hi/lo range. The body is very fixable with the usual areas being rusty. I have a good NC title in hand”
This is the first of two Jeepster for sale on eBay by the same seller. Both look good.
