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 .

“The jeep was purchased from a Willys collector (second owner) in 2012 for $10,000 plus a jeep for which I paid $2,000, with $7,000 added since.
The original owner was in Western Oregon.
I wanted an original, green,Willys, with original paint, but not with the rust like most on the market. More than 50 jeeps in different States were considered before finding this one. The engine, transmission and Warn overdrive had been rebuilt when I purchased it with a roll bar. There are 25,153 miles on the jeep now.
The license plate designates the vehicle as a collectible, so you don’t need to pay for yearly tabs.

Brakes, master cylinder, hoses, and wheel cylinders $1,114
Wheel bearings packed, replaced hub seals and tie rod $550
Rebuilt distributor, ignition coil, spark plugs $450
New muffler and tail pipe $286
Rebuilt carburetor, points, condenser $443
New thermostat and water pump $416
New fuel pump
Replace brake lights $31
New, stock clutch, value adjustment, wheel bearings $963

“This Jeepster has had a frame off restoration. I would not call it show room quality, but very nice and presents well. The engine has been rebuilt and it is ready to drive. There were roughly only 20,000 of these made and they are very difficult to find. The interior has all been redone and I could not find any rust on it. It has never seen the rain. The restore job was done about 20 years ago. I drove it up to my house and the gentleman I bought it from drove it around also. The title is clean.”
It looks like they armory did a good job with the restoration.
“Up for sale is my 1952 Willys Jeep. It has been completely restored by red river armory. It has been sitting for a while but is in excellent condition. Recent upgrades were new gas tank, fuel line, carb rebuild, new batteries, new pick up and tank pump. It has started and ran for about 30 seconds. Radiator has been cleaned and repaired as well. Make me an offer, this is a classic!”
Looks in great shape. The engine uses a modern filter.
“Nicely restored 1950 Willys Jeepster. 6 cxl. engine. Recently gone over by local mechanic and given a clean bill of health.
This car was restored in 1998. I have many picture of the restoration, Engine removed and rebuilt. Body professionally repainted. 12v. system. New carburetor. The restoration even included a CD player an AC. (The AC is under dash, did not mess up the dash, and can be easily removed)
This car sold a few years ago for $20K. (I have documentation). I purchased it for less last year. I have had fun with the car, but some priorities have changed, so now want to find it a new home.
This Jeepster runs very well and feels good at higher speed . Tires are in good shape Paint in excellent shape. Color is a deep gray and appears to have been done quite professionally. Body is in excellent condition. Top and side curtains just OK. ”
