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: still Available.
(06/01/2017) Seth thought someone might enjoy this one. It’s a dual cowl, wooden bench Jeepster.
“1949 Dual Cowl Phaeton, 4 cyl, tuned exhaust, hi-rise intake, 3 sp, bench seats. NEW motor, brakes, susp, steering.”

Good God why? Someone help me understand this.
My sentiments exactly.
That intake looks like something out of a science fiction serial from the 40’s. Just swivel it around to face the front, and you have an “ion cannon” (or some other futuristic weapon).
This could be the next generation of Shriner’s vehicle, but let’s hope not.
I like it…. This would be great for my sons to drive their buddies around in. Great beach buggy!
That is the damndest intake and exhaust setup I have ever seen on a Willys engine! The carb sitting way up high with a finger on the air cleaner and then that over the top set of headers. Not sure that would be street legal anywhere! The dual cowl feature is unique to say the least!
Whether you like it or not, you have to give the builder of this vehicle an A+ for originality !!!
I do give the builder credit for originality…and build quality…that being said I think it’s ugly as a shaggy dog’s butt, but that’s just me…maybe with a different intake, a hood, a proper paint job, some upholstery, it would not look that bad.
My older brother a few weeks before they graduated bought an old gas station surburban type ride for 25 bucks. They painted it all up and drove it around for a week. After graduation they busted it up with a sledge hammer, set it on fire and dumped it in the river.
I could see using this in a similar mannor. Only problem is they are asking too much for it.
I think since Russ sold his yellow jeepster he should replace it with this one. I could see us going around roundabouts yelling klondike!!!!
Dumping an old car in a river is not very good for the ecosystem. Oil in the engine, differential fluids, gas, etc. Fun, yes. I’m not a tree hugger, just sayin.
Marty: Agreed!
Bob meant to add this post (he sent it to me accidentally):
” It’s wasn’t good back then either. They all got fined and had to get it out of the river. The Schuylkill River just north of the city. Cops traced serial number on engine.
This was in 1967. Just s bunch of beer drinking high school kids having fun playing a class prank.
But yeah, paint this current jeep up with some school colored paint and drive it around for a week or as long as it will last. Tie some plastic buckets onto the tailgate.”
