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 .

Mark listed this over at sellajeep.com.
“1949 Willys VJ This is a great car, fun to drive and a real head turner. I purchased this last winter from a private seller in AZ who had been rebuilding it and he tried to keep it as original as possible. It was near finished and I added a few things to it. Here is a list.
New: top and side curtains, frame for top, gas tank and sending unit, exhaust pipe and muffler, fuel pump, turn signals, hub caps, seats covers, a new overdrive, chrome bumpers, steering wheel with suicide knob, outside mirrors, dash nobs and carb kit. The engine is a totally rebuilt 4 cyl. (lead-free gas) by a Jeep expert in Phoenix and it has a newer paint job with a few small road chips and almost all of the chrome is new and looks excellent. I had a slider built for the driver’s seat so it can be adjusted. It is a six volt system and has radial tires that are like new. It has always been garaged.
Things I did not get to: back brakes need new seals and the transmission has a problem with 2nd gear slipping out at times.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $100.

“Up for auction is a 1948 Willy’s Jeepster. This vehicle has been 99% restored and is in great condition. This car has the original four-cylinder, Flat head, 62 horsepower, Go-Devil engine that has been removed and fully rebuilt with only 5500 miles on the rebuild. It has a three speed manual transmission and it comes with overdrive as well that just needs to be hooked up. Many extra parts are included with the car. The interior has been done with new upholstery and carpet, and the paint is fresh with only a few minor issues below the spare tire cover. The steering wheel was replaced by the previous owner but steering wheels are available for this car through Kaiser-Willys and other online Jeep websites. New turn signals and more that is too much to list. The body is straight, and all the trim is available and will be sent with your purchase – it just needs to be installed. Spare tire cover comes with the car and has been painted to match the body color. As seen in the pictures one weekend would completely finish this car. It’s a great around town car that runs smooth and starts right up. The convertible top is in great condition and the windows are all there. The car has been completely gone through and has had a recent tune-up and brakes, steering, clutch and axles worked on. This car was bought to finish restoring quickly but I don’t have the time to drive it much less finish the minor restoration to bring it to completion. It has been kept in a warehouse, not in the weather and is in good condition.”
This looks good, but apparently needs work of some kind.
