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 .
Has a steering update at the very least.

“Slatgrille Willys jeep, of the roughly 650,000 jeeps made in WWII only the first 26,000 were “slatgrilles” this jeep is rough with a ton of bondo and fiberglass slathered everywhere but the tub is still restorable, I have repaired much worse. It has the original axles, t84 trans and transfer case. From the front crossmember to the rear the frame is very solid but the original front frame horns have been heavily modified and need replacements. The motor is not original and total junk. It comes with a bill of sale. I do have a 1942 title i will throw in. I may trade for a less rare but better condition military or Cj2a project, an M151 project would definitely get my attention. 570 two38 1591.”

Joe-in-Mesa’s friend Keith shared pics of this Hawaii-Style looking jeep. Keith is willing to sell it, but also wants to learn more about it.
To me, it looks like something someone brought to the US Mainland from Hawaii. You can compare this to the others we have documented here: http://www.ewillys.com/tag/hawaii-body/
If you have interest in it, feel free to email me and I’ll pass along Kieth’s info: d@deilers.com.
Looks like a good restoration candidate.

These have original WWII era engines and running gear, All the trannys have been rebuilt. New wiring harnesses, rebuilt. rebuilt two of the engines and did the head on the other, These are restored to WWII specs using quality WWII aftermarket, WWII used and NOS parts.

“This listing is for a 1945 WWII era Willys Jeep. This vehicle does not run and was in barn storage for 60 years. The gas tank and gauges/instrumentation were modified.

This solid looking MB has some updates.

“I have a 1944 Willys MB, World War 2 military Jeep for sale, with a clean Oregon title. It’s definitely a project, but it rolls and steers nicely. I was told it has a Dana 30 open-knuckle front axle and a centered rear diff, instead of the closed knuckle front and offset rear diff. Original engine is long gone, but I have an original T90 transmission and Dana 18 transfer case, that also has a vintage aftermarket overdrive unit on it. That all seems to shift well, but it’s not in the Jeep currently. I have an extra cowl/dash to patch in the holes someone cut in the dash. I’ve always wanted one of these specific Jeeps, but thanks to Biden’s economy, I’m gonna need to let a couple projects go. I’m asking $4,500. Cash only. No shipping, Local pick up only.”
TJ spotted this one. It was listed, with an extra engine, for only $3500 (in Prineville, Oregon). Not surprisingly, it sold quickly!
“I have a 1944 Willys MB for sale. pictures are from 2 years ago, sitting outside, It comes with an extra motor and needs work. The Brakes need to be bled. The fuel pump needs to be installed(I have a new one). The seats need to be put in. The front drive shaft needs to be installed. It’s a good starting point but it’s a great starting point. The engine ran with the other fuel pump; it just was leaking fuel from it”
These are described as MBs, but it looks like one has a GPW front cross member. They are located on Orcas Island, which requires taking the ferry. A truck plus a two-vehicle trailer will probably require a $325 ferry ticket (truck 15′ + trailer 30′), if I am reading the fare schedule correctly.

“Two 1943 Willys MB Jeeps FOR SALE
Selling two vehicles together – $7,000/Both OBO
We purchased these in 2010 from a Military Surplus outfit in the Grants Pass, Oregon area. We tinkered on them over the years, both have run and were driven in the past on our land. Not currently running. These are two separate restoration projects. I have the original paperwork from the military surplus seller including the title for the camo one; the blue one is untitled. The old license plates on the vehicles were there at the time of our purchase. We never transferred title to our name. For purchase, I will provide two Bills of Sale plus title for the camo one and statement of fact about the blue one. You can apply for title for the blue jeep and get a VIN assigned as outlined by WA State DMV for vehicle without title.
Camo painted jeep: 1943 Willys MB – title in hand. This jeep clearly spent time in Europe and likely remained in post war service in Germany. (It has some parts with labels written in Deutsch). This jeep is fully intact and mostly original. Key included. Seats all included and recovered. Spare tire mount and tire included. Bimini frame included (no canvas). Jerrycan holders included and mounted. Frame intact. Surface rust throughout, and rust through hole on the mounting steps and adjoining side panel.
Blue painted jeep: untitled, estimated to be similar vintage (same grill style) as the camo MB so early 1940s. Key included. Appears to be modified: i.e no bench seat, and gas tank is fabricated and located at the rear (where a bench seat would have been). Frame intact, surface rust throughout, no holes.
Contact: Laura Yeats 206 930 6437
Located on Orcas Island (Eastsound, WA) –Ferry from Anacortes, WA
Local pick-up only (No Delivery or Shipping available)”
Seems like a good price if you want several projects.
