About eWillys
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.
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 .

2012 was a great year for both me, personally, and for eWillys, too. Obviously, getting married was a pretty big deal as was finishing my book, Finding Virginia. In addition, eWillys reached several milestones in terms of page visitation (600,000 this December and 12 million overall) and posts (now over 20,000).
For 2013, Ann and I have two trips planned, one down to Arizona for the FC Roundup in March and a second trip to the East Coast in May/June for the 2013 Midwest Willys Reunion in May (where I am scheduled to do a presentation) and The Bantam Fesitval in June. More details to follow over the next couple months.
And, for 2014, we hope to do a trip to Europe during the summer to re-trace my grandfather’s trip through europe in 1924 (90th anniversary) and meet a variety of supporters from there who continue to visit daily and add to our knowledge base. That will mean eWillys will need to be even more successful in 2013, which means a lot of work for me!
Roberto spotted this blog post about a movie short created early in their careers by Oscar winning Frederico Fellini and Kremos (Niso Ramponi) called “Hello Jeep!”. There are a variety of wonderful images and plenty of information. Nice find Roberto!
“This beautiful 1948 Willys Overland Jeepster drives like a dream machine from yesteryear. She is a three-speed around town show off with overdrive for the highway cruises. Her Arizona heritage has kept her young and, with the incredible showroom paint, she is truly the best car you will ever still consider a driver.
Is she flawless? What girl is? She has two small repairs to her newly treated vinyl ( shown still uncolored – since almost invisible ). One chrome side step has a flake or two in the chrome. Paint on steering wheel logo center faded ( thought better to not restore ). Other than that…
She is all original except the addition of a 12 volt alternator, electric fuel pump (original still attached) and gas tank. Inside, look at the knock out beautiful white interior, drop top, windows and boot. Also, the new stereo. Correct and original chrome inside and out as well as the right steering wheel and badges. Newly rebuilt engine and overhauled brakes plus correct wheels with brand new beauty rings and hubcaps.
There are no surprises with this car. She is not a frame-off concourse competition winner, but instead an incredibly well preserved forever-keeper car with no disappointments. Low reserve compared to market.”
I didn’t know Donald drove jeeps, but here he is driving a flattie.
