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: Still Available.

“This is one of the last 2 of 9 military vehicles sold from my collection. In addition to this jeep I’m also selling 1953 m38a1. I bought this Jeep from an individual who did a partial restoration with the most important restoration being the rebuilding of the engine. I would describe its current condition as being Fair to Good. It starts right up and drives well. I replaced the original hood with a reproduction hood but kept the original hood should a buyer want it. It came painted as an Army Jeep but since I served in the Marines I put Marine paint and markings on it. The photos fairly well show the condition of the jeep. It also comes with a tow frame to be attached on the front and some odds and ends. The tires and tubes are relatively new. The Jeep has a MS title with 1945 MS Historical legal license plate. It has been stored in a closed garage and seldom left outside. It does have a tendency to slip out of 2nd gear, which I am told is coming for this model. Interested parties are encouraged to personally inspect and drive the vehicle. Located in Diamondhead, MS.”
It’s a project with an F-head. Has an MB frame.

Windshield included (not shown in photos). Trailer NOT included. Mileage unknown, but it is well used. After all, it’s 75 years old”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $5000.
(08/23/2019) Listed as a 1944, this has a variety of CJ-2A parts on it. The body appears to be a VEC body. Needs a closer look to sort things out.
“Titled 1944, but have been told body is 45 or 46, engine is 46. Runs and drives, not bad for overall shape. Have all new seats with cushions, new tires, starts right up. Trades possible.”
It’s listed as a 1951 M-38, but looks more like an MB.

“1951 Willys M38 Jeep for sale by owner. This Willys runs good and has been maintained. Shifts and drives well. Extra parts included.”
Seller has a Slat Grille and some tubs for sale.
https://stlouis.craigslist.org/pts/d/sikeston-willys-b-slatgril-jeep-parts/7032043226.html
“Item 1. I have for sale a February 1942 Willys Slatgril jeep. The frame is rusted through. It has no title. It does have both axles, drive shafts, hood, grill, left fender, windshield, tub, frame, springs, torque reaction spring, three gauges(gas gauge, oil pressure, amp gauge), speedometer, glove box door with data plates and brass windshield latches.

Item 2. In this sale also is a pair of original ford ww2 axles 3075 and 4025(front and rear) from anther 1942 gpw.
Item 3.There is also a 1943 willys M B tub with good frame.
Item 4.The third tub also in this sale is a willys mb tub that has been stripped and ready to repair.
I would trade this for a Ramsey PTO Model 50 winch complete setup.”
There’s a tag suggesting this was a reconditioned jeep at some point. It’s likely a mix of GPW and MB parts, along with some civilian/other parts (such as the rims, seats, bumper).
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/569207050512329/

“1947 Jeep(according to the title) very rough body. Motor is a 4 cyl spins free has spark and turns over. New wheels and tires. Title in hand. Make offer. Comes with old wheels also.”

“1944 WW II Willy’s Jeep. Original running gear. Rebuilt transmission, carburetor, And brake system. 4 cylinder engine runs good. 12 volt electrical system. Front hubs need work. Like new tires, body is excellent. Mileage is unknown.”
Has an MB grille, but other than that, I do see anything obviously MBish. It’s more likely an M-38 than anything.
