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 .

Tim’s selling this large lot of parts with a jeep.
“1943 Willys MB Jeep. Rough shape but can be saved. Transferable registration. I believe the motor was rebuilt but cannot guarantee that so you should consider as needing restoration. Along with the Jeep is a lifetime collection of Jeep parts. Fully assembled motor out of a generator. 6 other blocks including a GPW. Cranks, lights, seats, hoods, jerry cans, electric parts, carbs, unchecked tires, grilles, radiators, new seat covers, intake and exhaust manifolds, wheels, windshields, etc…look closely at the pictures. There may be something special in here. I do not know Jeeps that well. Most stuff appears good. Some stuff is not. First $6200 cash takes it all. Bring strong friends and a big trailer. Will not separate”

A few curious things about the body. I suspect this MB body is sitting on a CJ-3A or later frame and drivetrain. Note the boxes in the rear for the shocks have been removed and the front of the frame lacks gussets.

https://klamath.craigslist.org/pts/6570164747.html
“1941 Willys MB military Jeep. With hard top and doors. Has a Ford straight 6 overhead valve turns over by hand running condition unknown. Manual transmission, twin stick transfer case. Body is in rough condition has sheet metal floor pan and original floor is rusted out. Lots of good restoration parts. The body is probably too far gone to be restored but would make a great rock crawler mud Bogger or Farmtruck. Sorry but due to scams I don’t open email.”
UPDATE: Was for auction on Bring-a-trailer.
https://hartford.craigslist.org/cto/d/1944-willys-mb-jeep-forsale/6571399267.html
“This 1944 Willys MB spent most of its life in Connecticut and is powered by a 2,199cc “Go-Devil” flathead four mated to a 3-speed manual gearbox with a hi/lo range transfer case. A 2011 service included replacement of the seats, shifter hardware, axles, fuel canister, side storage box, and exterior graphics, while the engine oil was changed approximately 500 miles ago along with the front and rear differential fluids. This Willys is offered by the seller on behalf of a family friend and comes with records for replacement parts as well as a Connecticut bill of sale.”
Not sure how much value is here.

The jeep is more disassembled than the photo below indicates, but it does give a good sense of the parts that come with it.

I thought this looked like an MB, but Dexter saw more GPW in that mount. It also has a plow.
“Although this Jeep looks like a civilian model because of the grille, don’t be fooled. The Jeep is an mb/GPW it has an mb/gpw frame, body, suspension, axles, and steering mechanics. These Jeeps go for up to 25k restored and if you don’t believe me do your research. I’m selling the Jeep because I’m working on 3B project.
The Jeep:
– Runs
– Drives
– hi/lo works
– 2wd/4wd works
– Plow function properly
– Has a heater
– New brake lines
– Needs body work, but solid still
