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 Make Offer.
It’s a project.
“I recently bought this WWII 1942 serial number 112111, Willys slat grille Jeep to restore. But, after I realized the rarity of this model and everyone has been wanting to buy it from me, I decided to offer it up for TRADE only. What I really want is a late WWII Ford built GPW Jeep that is in far better condition or much farther along in a restoration. I’m not interested in trading for anything other than a FORD made Jeep that is in BETTER condition than this far more desirable slat grill Jeep that I have. I’m NOT going to sell the Jeep, only trade it for a GPW.
This Willys MB has no title, is not running, but the engine is not locked. The engine and transmission are from a later civilian Jeep. There is rust in the body but not terrible. It appears that the body had been sandblasted at some point and then someone patched the floors and bondoed over dents. Over all, this Jeep is in far better condition than most of the unrestored Jeeps I’ve found.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $8500
(07/30/2015) Has an updated motor and some other mods. It appear it hasn’t been licensed since being in Alaska.

(08/22/2015) It’s an MB with a 2A body.
“This Willys is a true survivor. The id number is a MB number, but is considered a 1947 by the DMV. The tub is a MB. The jeep was modified for a film to look like a M38. The driver side has been smoothed over with bondo at some point, but the ribs for the tools can be seen on the inside.
The window is post war as well as the M38 grille. The jeep will need to be seen.
It needs tlc for sure but is a driver.
I have the window rubber, just no glass.
The engine is what I can best figure is a 1953 F-Head Hurricane engine. It has the generator, but is wound to a 12v system.
It has Model A tail lights.
The tires are new as of July 22nd. I also had Willys hand painted on the rear tailgate, as well as a personal tribute to a fallen family member, as well as a WWII Kilroy was here.
I am fixing it up as I keep driving it. If it doesn’t sell for my price, I will be fixing it up and keeping it. ”

1943 Willys MB
$12,000
Located in Carthage, NY
This is an original WW2 Jeep brought over from Europe in 2010. It was restored sometime in the late 80’s to early 90’s in Belgium. I bought it in Germany from one of my high school teachers in 2005 and over the years it has become part of the family. I have put a lot of time and money into this vehicle and hate to see it go but my life has taken an unexpected turn and the wife says I can’t sell one of the kids so here it is.
