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 .

This GPW has some interesting history. The front bumper wasn’t restored to original specs, so given the price it would be worth looking this over closely.
“This Jeep has undergone a complete professional frame up restoration. This has just been done. It wasn’t in bad shape–no rust, fully equipped, but I wanted an exceptional Jeep which would be easy to drive with slack free steering, very dependable and a great looking piece of American history. Some call the WWII Jeep “America’s first sports car.”
Highlights of the restoration
— professional complete engine rebuild
— rebuilt transmission, transfer case, clutch, differential, radiator, 12 volt electronics, steering box
— new brakes, fuel pump, muffler and exhaust, fuel tank, gages, canvas top, windshield wipers, weather stripping horn, upholstery, and 5 new combat tires.
Provenance
During World War II this Jeep was assigned to a two star general and slated to go to England. Orders were changed and both general and Jeep went to Colorado Springs where the Jeep was used to pull aircraft out of Army Air Corps hangers. After the war it was sold to a private person, who drove it for pleasure and also leased occasionally to several Hollywood motion picture studios where it was filmed in a number of war movies. The drivers seat was lengthened slightly to accommodate actors such as Ernest Borgnine and Dan Duryae. I bought the Jeep two years ago and have used it restored for short stints around town and to the Virginia Beach Antique Military Aviation Museum where I am a docent.”

“1948 Willys Jeepster, sold as is , for restoration and or daily driver , was on storage without use for some years, bought for restoration upon impulse as I always wanted a jeepster but now I realized I still have three more projects ( 72 vette, 74 TR6 and a 1928 ford street rod) which I should complete before attempting a new project so need to make the space in the garage The jeepster has rust on doors and frame, put a new fuel pump and the engine starts and runs , will need carburator cleaning and refreshing see video on Youtube: Jeepster 1948 Ocala to hear the engine run,noticed that shifter lever got stuck and was easily released by moving the levers that go from the steering column to the transmission so some adjustment may be needed and or bushing . Jeepster is ideal for restoration and or use as driver as is a complete car with all its components, running engine, transmission, rear end , complete body, bumpers ,lights, rims , trim, side curtains and top,. front and rear seats are in good condition as well as the door panels. only visible dent I found is in the front apron behind the front bumper as you can see on photo . If want to use as driver, since car has been out of the road some years ,although it starts trasmission engages and brakes work , it will need complete mechanical inspection refreshing to assure safe use on the road to include but not limited to brakes, suspension, shocks, tires,steering components etc. therefore Jeepster will need to be trailered to its new location.”
