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 .

The Kent State airport is hosting an aviation heritage day on Sept 19th and looking for WWII vehicles that want to come be a part of the day. It’s free and I assume the vehicles will be parked near the planes. They get a good crowd in for this and some great old planes.
Willys America will be hosting its open house July 11, 2015. I hear it’s a great time with lots of jeeps.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $150.
I believe the hand crank siren on the hood is missing (see example here).

(05/23/2014) It’s a project.
“For sale is this 1948 Willy’s jeep, some assembly required, battery not included, lots of good parts. quick store. this jeep was a daily driver before I hit a tree and had to take it apart and put a frame under it. This was the 11th frame I looked at, this is the best frame I’ve seen, this is a m38 military frame with no cracks, frame has been bead blasted and painted with DP100 a two part epoxy paint, I have two motors, the one that’s in it is a 3.8 liter V-6 GM motor from a 198? Chevy Monza, the other one I have is a 225 fireball V-6 from a 1964 Buick special, connected to a T-90 transmission thru a advance adapter with a rebuilt Warn overdrive.
unfortunately, almost all the parts where bead blasted and read for paint, but where it was stored leaked water, so everything is covered is surface rust and will need blasted again.
Updated motor. Body looks in good shape.

<– Day 24 – Tue. May 5th: San Antonio’s Riverwalk | TRIP OVERVIEW | Day 26 – Thu. May 7th: Rainbow Flight & Texas Border Towns –>
Guinness Book of World Records deems this the largest wooden nickel in the world.
Yesterday we spent time in downtown San Antonio. Today we explored areas outside that central area.
First, we walked a couple blocks to Market Square, a three-block area that has been home to the city’s open market roots since the 1890s. At that time, San Antonio was Texas’ largest city. The area was a multi-cultural area due to Mexican, European, and Asian immigrants. However, these days the area has primarily a Mexican flavor.
In fact, we walked to the market specifically to taste the flavors of Mi Tierra Cafe Y Panaderia. The restaurant was first opened in 1941. It now seats up to 500 people and, according to their own marketing, “Never closes”. It’s a twenty-four hour a day, every day, restaurant. There’s a party atmosphere inside with christmas lights wound around posts, colorful Mexican banners hanging from the ceiling, and reflective pinatas hanging overhead in the lobby.
The lobby of the Mi Tierra Cafe Y Panaderia. The baked looks looked really good!
I chose to go there, not just because of its history, but because they serve a roasted goat dish, something I don’t get often enough. When it arrived, I was very pleased; plenty of goat, along with a tasty cheese enchilada, made for a good meal. The rice and beans were pretty standard tex mex.
Yum. Goat is good!
After our lunch (we had a late start on Wednesday), we wandered Market Square. We even found a couple gifts for our mothers, though said gifts shall remain unmentioned since my mother peeks in on my trip reports from time to time.
Market Square’s ‘Produce Street’, though hard to find much produce here any more. Just minutes later bus loads of people flooded this area.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was auctioned.
Paul spotted this auction. The estimated price is $40,000 – $55,000. The VIN is 56337 18385.
A reader reports this truck sold for $7500 today at a dealer auction. Nice looking truck.
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $10,800.
Nice looking wagon spotted by Craig.
“1948 Willys Jeep Station Wagon in very good condition. Has been restored as a daily driver type with modern radial tires and aluminum wheels. Not a perfect show winning restoration but it looks really good. If you found a wagon in a barn somewhere you would have a lot more money than that getting one in this nice of condition. was $12800 and has been reduced to $10800. Price doesn’t include title,taxes or licensing fees. Bring cash and tell them Tim sent you. You can drive this home if you wish. Lots of other items for sale as owner has retired and is selling virtually everything.”
Jeep looks solid, but the top seems to be missing plastic.

“An incrediblly done complete restoration! This 1952 Willys Jeep Wagon 4X4 has had every nut and bolt turned and needs absolutely nothing! Powered by a period correct 6-226 Super Hurricane mated to a 3spd manual transmission with Spicer transfer case, Dana differentials, and auxillary cooling fan, she is completely finished. Extremely high quality paint job and wood trim looks fantastic. Cosmetically, she is a real head turner. Top to bottom and underneath are all meticulously done. The wood flooring in the back is completely finished, and the only thing that isnt period correct is the aftermarket am/fm cd player iin the dash. All of the gauges are clear and appear new…….I really dont know what else you could do to make her more complete. Come by and see us at Jordan Motorcars, 11919 IH10 West, San Antonio, Texas, 78230 or visit us on the web at jordanmotorcars.net.”
This has some updates, but what really caught my eye was the driver’s side rear wheel well. No good pics of it, but it looks damaged to me (see first photo).
