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.
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 $4500.
Chris spotted this potential deal.
“1949 Jeep willys runs drives”
I haven’t seen one of those horn rings before.
Looks like the owner installed an electric windshield wiper motor. Looks to be the “Matsuba” Japanese type. The driver has to manually turn it on or off when needed. Interesting. Never seen one set up like that.
That wheel/horn ring looks period-correct for a ’49. The wheel has a vinyl wrap-around cover on it.
This looks like a screamin’ deal; If it wasn’t on the other side of the country I’d be on it like stink on you-know-what.
I wish some of the pictures were clearer. It’s a ‘49 so I’m assuming it’s 2wd. Can’t tell from the pics if there are any transfer case levers.
Gliii,
The first image appears to show the 2wd axle. So, I think you are correct.

This appears to be a 2WD station wagon(the stock hubcaps won’t fit over the 4WD hubs), it has a 3 speed on the column, and I can see the overdrive button below the dash, as well as an original radio. The horn ring is factory, and was an option. It was also on the Station Sedans and the Jeepsters. Early 1940s Studebaker sedans used the same one with a different insert in the center of the ring. Looks to be in decent shape, depending on how much rust is in the rockers and front quarter panels as well as the tailgate area.
I take it this sold? This is exactly what I am looking for.
Matt,
Yep, it looks like it sold. I’ve updated the post.
