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 $5000
Looks solid and complete.
“1942 Willy’s . Great jeep. Runs great. Can climb anything!! $5000 O.B.O. Paul”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600.
This is riding pretty low in the rear. The flags are a nice touch; probably raised the value another $100.
“1945 MB project. runs and drives- no brakes. has a clear MI title. has MB frame tag and MB stamped motor. i probably can’t answer all of your ?’s- the best thing would be for you to come and see it for yourself. i have done some work to it, but it has a long way to go. i have a spare cj2a tub that has a decent back half that i will include, and a spare radiator.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Nice Slattie!
“1942 Willy’s MB slat grill #109964. DOD is: 1-8-42. A 3-year frame off restoration was completed in June 2007. This slat grill is used mostly for veteran related events, parades and car shows. This is a popular and a favorite vehicle at shows and has won several awards. It has been driven less than 1000 miles total. I drive the jeep at least once every 2-3 weeks and keep it in good working condition.
The original tub was not useable but much care was taken to detail to make the new one as accurate as possible. The slat has many of the original parts such as: brass data plates, frame, grill, split seam front seats, original back seat, steering wheel, column and steering box, short bodied distributor, “steel” marked pintal, “tiger eye” lenses, solid disc wheels, light assemblies, square shouldered footman loops, brake and clutch pedals, filterette, extinguisher and brackets, many TR20/EC/A/AA bolts and the list goes on ….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.
This is incorrectly listed as a later model.
“1951 Willy’s jeep. Currently in Kern county. ”
This looks in good shape.
“1942 jep willys, 4cyl original motor running in good condition,starts right away, 4×4 works great, transmission shift good, very little rust easy to fix for more info leave message at 619 827-9834”

Well, it isn’t too bad. It runs.
“1944 Willys MB. Runs,drives, stops good.47 L head engine.It has the passenger seat,grab handles and cross over tube and a complete Willys military artic top..Paint and drive as is or restore to world war 11 configuration. more pics availible.”
http://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/1833666113.html
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500
(05/14/2010) The pics are a little misleading as the engine (chev 283) is pulled and needs the heads rebuilt. This includes a car trailer.
“1945 Willys MB Jeep Project. Manufactured April fools day 1945. Has Chevy 283 SM V8 11″ brakes new clutch, carb, alt, HSD distributor. 283 is partially disassembled and needs rebuild 2 sets of heads T90 tranny 6.5 ” tires and wheels. New CJ5 304 V8 radiator.

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/1831480565.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
(05/26/2010) The body looks solid, though someone altered (hacked) the driver’s side entrance.
“for sale 1943 jeep ,runs , lots of spare parts, needs new home in country , mechanic owner desired, 2,000 firm .only serious buyers,”
UPDATE: SOLD** See comments
(05/09/2010) That’s an odd rollbar mount.
“This is a true WWII era Willy’s which runs and drives well.It still has the original drive train and only needs new seat covering and some body work to be back to original military specifications.l.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** $2950
(06/24/2010) Seller needs to sell to purchase teeth … now that’s a new one! This looks like it’s either dirty or dusty.
“Must sell or trade my 1945 willys hunting jeep to buy the wife a new set of upper teeth. jeep runs great .only used once a year for the past 40 years. needs minor clutch linkage work. $2950.00 obo thanks Ed”
This hasn’t run in a while.
“selling my 1945 willy’s. title in hand. has not run in roughly 10 yrs. 4cyl eng. 4×4, tow bar., email if interested.”

Greg was watching the Mecum’s auction on TV when this unit popped up for sale. It sold for a hefty price of $28,000. Maybe it was the spotlight that sealed the deal?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
This doesn’t look in horrible shape, but it also doesn’t look like it has moved in a while. It appears to have a warn, or equivalent, winch on the front of it.
“1944 millitary jeep $2000”
Dan spotted this one. It doesn’t look too bad.
“This is a 44 Willys MB and is in rough condition. The tub’s straight but rusty, there’s no pass. seat, radiator, or windshield, but there’s still lots of good parts. (axels,trans & T-case, steering box, ect.) The engine’s a non stock F-head and is missing some parts. The frame’s been welded up alot in the front but is decent from the firewall back. You can see it at 312 S. Dishman Rd. (corrner of Dishman & Appleway) or give me a call (ask for Dave) at 509-928-4460…cell 509-991-4573. There is no title.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
(05/11/2010) If we had a better pic, I *think* we’d see the upper tool indent visible but the lower one not visible. However, even if that was the case, it appears that though the gas cap is visible, the inlet appears tilted, suggesting it is an aftermarket install. The dashboard suggests it is a MB body (with the glove box). The floor board of the rear is just visible and is flat as expected, rather than having undulations like the CJ-2A. The grille is mb, the passenger fender is mb and the hood is mb. However this does have a CJ-2A windshield. So, this appears to be less stock than I originally thought.
“1942 Willy’s Jeep. Runs good, no rust, super hurricane 6 cylinder engine, new tires. Street legal.”
Here’s a rough project.
“Military Jeep body, frame and axles…NO engine…Needs work…Good Project! Please call 209-605-8555 for more info.”
http://stockton.craigslist.org/cto/1790626159.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
(05/26/2010) It runs, but needs some restoration according to the seller.
“Good running engine, but entire Jeep needs restoration. Leave a phone number and best time to return call. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $23,000
“Only 200 remaining in the world. This one is like new. Researched and restored to the perfection of the March 5, 1942 build date. All numbers are correct and matching. Altered for today’s driving conditions with 1954 Ford brakes, electronic ignition, and 12 volt system. She’s the pride of the Lone Star Military Vehicle Restoration Club in Austin Texas. Complete with Garand carbine, and canvas top. $23,000.00 FIRM.”
This might be worth a trip to Sandpoint.
“Willeys Jeep. Grandpas project ran 7 to 8 years ago. Complete jeep with spare for parts 43 or 45. Please e-mail questions to chris@stknoxacademy.com”
http://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/1765969846.html
UPDATE: Was $15750 **Status Unknown**
(04/29/2010) I’m a little surprised the seller doesn’t mention this is a Slat Grille. This doesn’t have the in-dash jockey box.
“The vehicle has been restored. It is very nice, runs great. Registration and Safety just renewed. It has too many improvements to list. Located on Maui in Lahaina. I am willing to take serious offers.”
UPDATE: Was $15,000. **SOLD**
A reader named John is selling this nicely restored MB.
“1945 Willys 1/4T reconnaissance truck, JEEP, delivered to the military 3-7-45 and recently completed a tub-off restoration. All restoration work correct to original specs with primarilly original NOS parts and professional rebuilds of the motor, drivetrain, axles, diffs, tranny and TC. Era correct top quality canvas and rubber throughout and every detail of the restoration process was documented in scores of digital pics. Over $14000 in parts and services alone with receipts available. This Willys is a classic example of a combat jeep in the ETO circa. early ’45. ”
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.”
It’s missing some items.
“
