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: **SOLD** Was $9500.
UPDATE: I mentioned that this could be brought back to original without too much expense. Brian challenged me on that claim (thank you) and determined it could roughly cost about $5800 to do so. Therefore, I shall modify my earlier claim and say that this could be returned to a more militaryish theme without too much effort or expense. 🙂
“1942 Willys Jeep
Rebuilt motor Flathead 4 cylinder
Warn overdrive
Great shape
Runs good
Too many good things to list”
Just out of curiosity, I decided to figure up the cost of parts that it would take to make this jeep mostly correct. This is for mostly repro parts priced from one dealer. The cost could be less and it could be more depending on how correct you wanted it to be, where you buy the parts, and if you use repro or original parts. I came up with a cost of around $5,800.
Good exercise; and I stand corrected. The more I look at this the more I see what you mean. I probably should have said something like “it could be made reasonably original without too much effort”, since it looks pretty sound.
I get a little bored of my own comments sometimes, so I try to think of something a little different to say. It doesn’t always work out well … lol.
Thanks for doing the work on that. I’ll update the post.
There is some expensive stuff you would have to buy but its surprising how quick those $5 to $30 parts add up.
While it’s too bad this wasn’t keep original military, it would be a shame now to ruin that beautiful metallic blue paint job. I’d recommend enjoying this as-is, and slowly (affordably?) collect the windshield, spare tire bracket, steering wheel, rims, non-directional tires, and many other MB parts for its next restoration down the road a few years.
