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: This Sold.
It appears complete, but tough to tell the rough situation.
“ran when parked last. needs starter and exhuast. split rims. $2500 OBO. call for questions ask for gary.”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $8000.
Once the price drops, this might make a good project.
“has rebuilt willys flat head inline 4cyl, new wheel bearings, brake cylinders, brakes. has lots of potential, every thing else is pretty much original. only use once a year for deer hunting. please reply to posting.”
This seems to be a blend of MB and CJ-2A parts.
“1942 Civilian CJ-2 Jeep for sale. Mostly original. Runs and drives. Stored in barn since 1970’s, and still runs great!

(04/27/2010) It could use some wheels.
“no motor,complete running gear,solid floors,sides,no title,mild lift,good project,249-0360”
http://montana.craigslist.org/pts/1757325528.html
It’s missing some items.

The body doesn’t look too bad, but the hood appears tweaked.
“It’s a 42 Willys Jeep with a 3.1 liter Buick V6 and it runs. Bill of sale only, no title.”
UPDATE: Josh notes that this is a GPW body and parts.
Brett spotted this Jeep, listed as a 1947 CJ-2A. This clearly has, at the very least, a WWII body and front clip. The body looks in good shape.

The bad news is that this is located in the Bahamas. The good news a vacation in the Bahamas is priceless.
“1944 Wllys Jeep, Located in the Bahamas. Buyer to pay shipping from Bahamas to Miami. Pics available by email. Some extra parts. Bill of sale only. All shipping papers available from when it was shipped to the Bahamas. Was running when it was parked in 2002.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $9000.
This looks nicely restored.
“Fully restored Military Willys. Restored with all NOS (new old stock) parts runs and drives excellent. Everything works and is functional. Also has two original rifle holders. New tires and canvas. Always stored inside. Rarely driven. Time to start a new project, looking for a possible trade for a Ford Model A pickup or a Model A 2 DR couple.

UPDATE: Still Available
(04/28/2010) This has certainly been modified — there is still work to be done.

This looks pretty nice, but I can’t quite tell how original it is other than the non-original windshield.
“This is a nice little jeep with a hard to find wagon. The engine is a 4cyl. and the transmission is a 3spd. It is a 4×4 with lowlock. It runs good and has good brakes. It is stock. The wagon is an army with front brake lock. The owner can be contacted at 812-936-9192 for a complete detail of the jeep and wagon. Also you can email me with your question or phone number. The owner is asking $3500. OBO. for this combo. He may also consider taking trades. Thanks”

Jim spotted this good looking restoration project. It runs, too.
“Needs a complete restoration, I have started it, the engine sounded excellent, very quiet, I have original seats frames, gas tank, windshield frame etc, very straight dash, cowl, nose etc, tub needs a little work, is a very original complete, very rare willys MB. Have a clean AZ title, make offer etc must sell.”

I’ve seen lots of ‘hood bumps, but never anything like this. That said, the body appears in good shape. Given where the handle bar is located on the dash, I’m wondering if this is an early body that doesn’t have the glove box?
“i have a 41 willys jeep was looking for a aluminum boat with a motor and trailer but lets see what you got open to options”

A reader spotted this unusual deal. That MB looks solid and appears stock. The seller incorrectly lists the MB as a M-38. This seller is also selling a Jeepster.
“4 Willys Jeeps For Sale. All Jeeps run good and have the original engines. One is a 1961 Willys Jeep set up for a service station with a steel plow and complete hydraulic plow package. The second is also from the early 1960’s and set up for a service station, and has a hydraulic plow hook-up. The third Jeep is also from the early 1960’s and has a hydraulic plow hook-up. The last Jeep is a 1950 or 1951 M-38 Military Jeep. All four Jeeps are complete and they all have some rot and rust. All four Jeeps are ready for restoration. I’m moving and can’t take these vehicles with me. $5,000.00 or best offer for all four Jeeps or make an offer for each Jeep separately. No e-mails please. Call (347) 203-9631.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
(04/17/2010) Here’s an ad that was hiding under “willis”
“
1942 willis jeep with 1/4 ton trailer . runs good. needs some work, has roll bar and tow bar.”
This appears to have been sold.
“1945 military jeep frame. Has several rusty areas but someone may want the turrat mount. It also has a j2-134 Braden capstan winch on the front. If interested I can get some pics.”
Brett spotted this unusual find. No price indicated. I don’t see many of these on the east coast.
“1941 Willys Jeep slat grill frame w/ drive train. no motor. really rough shape. Make an offer call Bill @ 845-635-1448”
http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/cto/1717992029.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Needs work of some kind.
“MB Military Jeep. Needs restoration.”
UPDATE: Still Available and pics now provided.
(04/16/2010) “Military Jeep for sale. Yes it runs! Working motor, running gear, transmission. I have video of it being driven around our yard if you are interested. I hate getting rid of it but we have too many projects going on after buying a house. Don’t want to see this rust away.
Has:
1942 Ford GPW frame, hood, windshield, grill, and other misc parts (all still have their F stamp visible)
1945 Military engine (running) with new fuel pump
1946 Willy’s tub and transmission
Needs:
– seats
– fuel tank (we just put the fuel line into a gas tank when we run it)
– drive shaft (it fell out when we flat towed it to our new place)
– tires (2 are flat though they’ll hold air long enough to tow it home or put it up on a trailer)
We sanded all the old paint off of it and it is primer gray but we never got further than that.
I have pics on a different computer. I’ll post them soon.Please note we do not have a title for it, it will be bill of sale only. According to the CHP you just need to get a VIN verification done on it (simple as bringing it down to the CHP office) and DMV will then issue title and registration.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $2500
It kinda runs. I’d like to see a few more pics.
“1945 willys mb jeep. Shape is rough. It’s 65 years old so it is what it is. Rust on everything. Frame is solid. Engine is the old flat head. Runs…kinda. No brakes, the original master cyl leaked. I have a replacement but never put it on. Running gear all original old jeep stuff. Comes with the plates, and the tag on the frame. NO TITLE bill of sale only! This thing has been around. Weird things been welded to it, cut off..and customised….This is a project.”
This Texas hunter appears to be a MB to me.
“1948 Willys Jeep – Everything works, including 4WD. Posting for a friend that does not have an email account – Please call Chase if interested at 512.748.2798. Not interested in trading.”
http://austin.craigslist.org/cto/1707734295.html
I wonder if this isn’t actually a MB? Hard to tell for sure from the pics.
“have a willys jeep runs good has good tires. no title. will provide bill of sell. pics will be up later on today. call cody 5302307975”
http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/1709607913.html
UPDATE: This was a great price at $2000. It appears sold.
Brett spotted this one. With the plow setup and some good looking tires, this looks like a good price. The body doesn’t look all that bad to me.
“This is a 1942 Willey’s Jeep. It runs great and has the original drive train. It has not been licensed since about 1964. It has been used to plow my driveway, so it runs between 4 and 15 times a year. It has been serviced every year. The body is in pretty rough shape but is fixable for the right person. It comes with a 7′ snow plow and I don’t want to take it off.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2300
I’m guessing it doesn’t run at the moment?
“For Sale a 1943 MB Willy Jeep this is unrestored but has all the parts, except combat rims. I just dont have time to get to it and would like to see it go to a good home.”
