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 .
Listed as a 1947, this may be a modified MB or GPW.

“I was going to restore this willy’s but currently don’t have the time. I am going to switch tire on it as i want to keep them. I am also going to toss in the 350 engine i was going to put in it along with a th350 tranny and transfer case. The tranny is an overdrive Th350. If you want it you have to pick it up along with motor and tranny. I have posted pictures on all. It needs a complete restore. The body is just sitting on frame.”
This is listed a GPW, but appears to have MB tool box lids. For some reason, this is listed in the Topeka, Kansas, Craigslist. Unclear if it is a scam (price seems pretty good) or some odd Craigslist issue. Or, maybe the seller travels (or moving) to Kansas.

“Good restore starter. Everything works excellent. Starts right up.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $23,000.
This MB was restored by the seller’s father who served in Japan. If you live near Williamsburg or are/were an MVPA member, you may have seen it in local parades.
“1944 restored Willy’s Army Jeep. My late WWII Veteran Father purchased this restored Jeep in 2000 from a Gentleman in Louisville KY. My Dad drove one like it in Japan during the War. He used this one for local parades.
He had a stroke in 2008, and I became his driver for the events. He just passed this April at 94. It needs to go to someone who can appreciate it and use it like my Father did. Selling to help settle his Estate.

All oils changed two years ago. We only did about two Parades a year, dependent on the weather. Last parade we did was in 2019.
Everything works at it should. Very low maintenance vehicle.

Somewhat modified MB that appears well-loved. The window flares on the wise of the windshield are a unique addition. I could see those being handy.
“Offered here is a very sharp 1942 Willys Jeep with some unique updates. With a prior restoration, the vehicle shows very well. Power comes by a rebuilt 4-cylinder engine matched to a freshly rebuilt transmission, transfer case, & new clutch. Set-up as a tow vehicle including a built-in tow light system, it would look great behind a motor coach as a grocery-getter and cruiser or expressly for 4-wheel touring. Additional attributes and upgrades include: 12 volt electrical system with a late model alternator Newer model gear-drive starter 22 gallon fuel cell Auxiliary electric fuel pump Stewart Warner gauges Accessory chrome wind-wings Custom metal sun visor Surrey top Tarp over cargo area Seat belts Back seats are included Tow bar w/built-in tow light system Late model 15″ wheels Custom hub caps hide the front locking hubs Nicely detailed Asking 10,750 Located in Closter, NJ Please Call or Text [hidden information] or Email hei at nvmail.net”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800.
The price seems reasonable on this mix-of-parts jeep. It has a GPW body. Given the hood bump, it might have an f-head, too.
1941 Willys “Jeep.” A true American hero. She served in WW II and was dissembled and then reassembled to serve again in the Korean War. She is titled as a 1941 but appears to have parts through the Korean War as was common for military Willys. She runs but is 79 years old. Her 4wd will take you anywhere. Please do not bid or buy if you do not intend to complete the sale. I have recently downsized my house and no longer have the space for this historical vehicle.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

Seems to be a mix of parts. I wonder if the seller has documentation about the “first prototype for the Air Force claim”.

“A farmer purchased it from the Fort Irwin Army Logistics Base just outside Barstow California in 1966. We got it from him in 1996. It has been under a roof ever since.
The farmer put a Willys F head engine in it along with larger drum brakes. The hood was cut for the carburetor. Carburetor has been replaced so hood will clear when corrected. He also swapped out the windshield to a latter / taller version. An electric Ramsey winch was also installed by the farmer.
Very little rust in easy to get at area. Runs and drives nicely.
It is still available if you see this add. I won’t negotiate without you seeing it.
No, I don’t need help with selling it. Please email with your questions via c-list.”
