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: Still Available.

UPDATE: Still Available. Description has been updated. Was $400. Now no price.
(07/02/2014) Oh this crazy thing is great! It’s got some floating rear hubs, so very well could have a 1944 chassis.

“Experimental? 312 engine was informed by the long retired pilot Air Force. Found locally near Hyde field near Andrews AFB .. 312 virtually identical to 292 without checking numbers on crankshaft. Complete except carb. Parts or restore – pto, Dana 44s, tow bar. One off hand built cap. Still has some military type script on inside of cap, looks like they used recycled ductwork or equiptment steel. Ford mustang type seats. .. no parts this on really needs to be researched. Haven’t been able to locate a VIN. Confusion as to all that have studied it. No parts sell as whole unit. Bill of Sale. Great conversation piece, yard art or rare historical piece. Pretty solid except for some floor pan and rocker repair.“
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
As militarized CJ-2As go, this looks pretty good.

Steve’s selling this project. His preference is to sell it to someone who will restore it (rather than part it out). Has some EasyLok hubs.
“Here is a 1944 Willys or maybe a Ford GPW army Jeep. It does have a GPW engine that had the head removed to do a head gasket job that was never finished. The engine does turn over by hand but I have never heard it run. Jeep is still on my trailer as I just bought it for a project and another project just showed up that I can butcher up rather then destroy this one. I left a few spaces to add a couple more pictures as I know their will be lots of questions with this one. The glove box door is gone but the frame rail still retains the vin number. The Jeep does roll very well! I have set of New Old Stock front 10 leaf springs and a drivers side foot rest for the bottom of the fender to go with the Jeep. If it doesn’t sell I will put it into the barn and do something with it at a later date.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900.
Maybe some value here?

“I have a 43 willy’s army jeep, started as a project, rebuilt the engine, never ran it but no reason why it shouldn’t. I have two transmissions. Replaced all the brakes and had all the drums cut. Painted the frame with POR15 (I hate rust) and then she sat for years, body has rust and needs some work but frame is beautiful.
Bottom line I don’t have to sell it so low ball offers won’t be accepted. But make me an offer. Might consider trading for a 14 or 16 ft boat with engine and trailer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
It’s going to need some duct tape and bailing wire at the very least!
“MANY GOOD PARTS,HAS CORRECT MB MOTOR,GPW TRANS,NO TITLE,New Jersey’s Largest used Jeep parts dealer,”
Listed as a 1943, it appears to be a mix of parts.

JUST A FEW UPDATES TODAY!
Thanks to Alaska Paul for spotting this one. Mack Auction will be auctioning off cars belonging to the Gervais Family Farm Wheels Museum on August 4-5. There are a bunch (100 or more) of pre-1960 vehicles, along with one WWII jeep that’s been stretched in the back. Most of the cars appear to need some work.
See all the vehicles here: http://mackauctioncompany.com/18aug4.html
Here’s a pic of the jeep:
Appears to have a WWII body.
“A rare classic Jeep. Runs good. Has current tags. Doesn’t need smog. Has a 350 V8 gas engine. Lots of power.”
https://fresno.craigslist.org/cto/d/1945-jeep-willys/6491125738.html
UPDATE: Still Available.
(01/06/2018) Sounds like it runs.
“1942 Willys Jeep. Great project start. Own a piece of History. This One Of Few Remaining 70+ Year Olds that were built to last. Moving stuff out.”
https://kpr.craigslist.org/cto/d/1942-willys-jeep-mb/6448857896.html
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500. The first set of pics showed the engine out and front clip off. The latest pic shows the jeep together.
(01/06/2018) It’s a project that may lack an engine.

Project.
“1942 war 2 MB Willys (jeep) for Restoration or Parts. Partially disassembled. Witch means I have removed the mud and some rust.
Ford flat head, 3 speed trans
The tub has been sand blasted and I have new panels for the bad spots. To many projects and something has to”
https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/d/1942-mb-willys-needs/6486031605.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
The body might be MB, given the gas tank. No full floaters in the back. Probably a mix of parts.
“Got it on trade don’t know much about it but it ain’t locked up willing to sell or trade for other vehicles it is a good project for someone who has the time trade for truck or just let me know what you got”
Seller also has an early VEC CJ-2A for sale.
“This is a rare World War Two military jeep Willys MB. It runs and drives but for dependable driving will need more attention. The Jeep came from Page Arizona and was registered with an Arizona ID with oversight of 1951 as the year, quite common mistake made at DMV in old days.. It is 100% genuine MB Jeep from pre-1945. The body is solid without any bondo and needs to be gone through before going to the paint shop. What you see in the pics is surface rust being exposed to the weather in Page Arizona where it came from. Chassis and undercarriage are solid with just the typical rust in the channels. Inner Windshield frame has rust but outer frame is solid. Great candidate for show quality restoration . The previous owner overhauled the original flat head MB “devil” engine and installed rebuilt tranny and transfer case done by a professional vintage jeep part supplier here in Phoenix. Carter Carburetor still needs fine tuning and electrical harness replaced. Vehicle runs and drives but needs restoration to be reliable driver or showing in parades. I can send you multiple photos and answer any questions you may have if seriously interested in owning a piece of war memorabilia that will only appreciate with time .
I also have a very early production 1946 CJ2A VEJ. Might sell together to any serious buyer.”
