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 .

(02/06/2013) Bo is selling his 1944 MB Project
“I have for sale an early 1944 MB 340503 for sale. I’ve cleaned (to bare metal), primed and painted most of the external surfaces. A lot of body work was done, too, although I left all of the dents in place. In time, the hat channels will need to be replaced.
Here is a link to my blog that covers in better detail what was done and how it currently looks.
Post war engine (not running, but will turn over), T84 transmission, Dana 18 transfer case (both shift, but will probably need rebuilt), and the jeep rolls.
Right now I’m asking $4000 or best reasonable offer. No title, just a bill of sale. Located in Summerville, SC.
Its a good start for somebody else to restore! If you could post it on your site, I would be grateful. If it sells, I will totally donate to keep this place up and running!! By the way, your efforts have been extraordinary the past week. I think it looks great! DoD was 6-8-1944

“Military collectors take a look at a original 1945 Willys Jeep that my family has owned for over 30 years. This is a original unaltered Jeep that has the manual trans and 4 cylinder engine. I have the title so it is street drivable. It has been sitting in a covered area for a couple years and was running about a year ago. This Jeep would make a great resto project and it would take very little to get it running again. Once again I do have a title for it. I am located in south Charlotte. Hate to sell it but I don’t have the time to restore it and I hate to see it sitting and not being used as it should be”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7400.
(07/31/2013) From the grille, to the body, to the rear shock mount, this looks more like a MB/GPW than a M-38.

“For your consideration, a very nice “barn find” 44’ Willys MB Jeep.. Serial #325384. This jeep is in very nice original condition, and has never been restored. Looks like it was painted green a few times with a brush.
Frame is in almost perfect condition, with no major rust issues whatsoever. It appears to still have the original front bumper and gussets.
The body shows its age with small dings and dents, but no major damage. The front floors are the only area of concern on the vehicle, as they have been covered with tin. Inspection underneath reveals only minor rusting on the drivers side, and hat channel rusting on the passenger’s side. There is lots of structurally sound metal left for repairs. Overall, the body is very restorable, and possesses a lot of character. Hood, fenders, and windshield are in good condition with no major rust thru. Seat cushions are replacement units, but mount exactly as the originals. Frames are in nice shape.
The drivetrain on this Jeep is in great condition. Engine was completely rebuilt (have receipts) about 200 miles ago to the tune of $2900. Engine appears to be original to the jeep with serial #MB-369110. 6v system is intact, and functional. T84 Transmission and axles are the original units gone thru and in good condition.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000.
(03/14/2012) Not perfectly stock, but looks in good condition.
