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 .
Doug spotted this solid looking restorable MB/GPW. It appears to have combat rims, too. It is listed as a 1946 Military Jeep.

Left side rear rim might be a solid?
I’ll be going to this, I’ll try to see what it goes for.
Looks to be complete and original!
There are a number of collectible vehicles at this auction. The jag is nice too.
When I first saw this auction a while back,they only had the one pic of the jeep where it is up against the wall.I was pretty sure that it was ww2 jeep.Now the second picture confirms it.I wish it was not 450miles from my house!Along way to go for an auction.In the second pic the jeep does look pretty good.
when there today to look at Jeep, they wouldn’t let me get within 10 feet of it! they said it was for tomorrows auction. What a bunch of dopes! wast of a trip. Jeep looked pretty rough from what I could see.
I just re-examined the auction listing. They don’t indicate any time to inspect/review the items, other than by appointment. I’m sure they have their reasons, but seems a little odd to me. Thanks for the report!
Yep usually on a two day auction you can check out the stuff for the next day…
Sold for $9900! Lots of original parts present, body was in good shape as far as not much rust, but it was pretty banged up. engine was seized.
wow! any idea how many were bidding on it?
That’s it…I’m gonna auction off my collection and use the proceeds to buy a new shop and some better project jeeps instead. $9900 for that seems a bit much. I wonder what the attraction was?
I talked to Art the auctioneer – yes it went for $9900 – he said a Jag in pieces went for $21000
I wonder if that was a slat grill. Wish someone that was there would comment.
Bill … windy was there. He said the engine was seized and it was banged up. One of the problems was that it was difficult to inspect prior to the auction. It was very complete and the body had little rust/rot, so it would likely make a great restoration or might run mostly unrestored.
Maybe who ever bought it will share some more pics.
