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 .

Jay spotted this MB parts jeep.
“Based on the research I’ve done I believe it to be a Ford. Was able to locate a body number and that indicates its a Ford. The frame is in good condition and it has the machine gun mount. Body is ruff. No engine or transmission and not really interested in parting it out. Due to previous owners modifications I am unable to locate a vin number.”

(10/27/2016) Another jeep with turbine rims. There appears to be a thin skin that’s been added to the driver’s side.

(10/22/2016) It runs. The seller doesn’t know much about it, but understands it isn’t original.
“My apologies I am not an expert on what I am selling! This is a 1943 Willys Jeep with some modifications. A family member recently passed away and this Willys Jeep was his project. The jeep runs great and is a lot of fun to drive. As you can see from the pictures there are non-original items like the steering wheel assembly and the diamond plating. I have the title. It’s been garage kept. I can’t tell you much more than that. I will be happy to answer any questions you have (if you tell me how to find it on the jeep) and/or take more pics, whatever information you need.”

Has a few updates, but there’s some stock MB still here.
“1943 Willy Military Jeep, complete overhaul motor-transmission & transfer case – complete overhaul of all brakes-new seats-12v system==clean title=( have kept black tag up to date ) Run Fine (Serious inquire only)”
http://tulsa.craigslist.org/cto/5851136730.html
Needs some work and has some civilian parts, but there’s still enough here to check it out.
“1942 Willys MB body on CJ2A frame. Runs and drives well. All it would need to be a driver is the drivers side rear blinker replaced front drivers blinker and the brakes need adjusting. Body is quite solid for a 74 year old Jeep. Engine runs and shift through the gears but could probably use a tune up. Can be towed easily using the attached tow bar even at freeway speeds. ”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $3500.
It’s a project with a Sears hardtop.
“Letting go of my ’44 MB. Awesome rolling project with a unique piece raily to never seen. This one has a hard top! It is an aftermarket hard top sold by Sears in the early 50’s and is prett rare as I have never seen another one on an MB. Has Buick V6 with cast iron block, great reliable engine. I have a few boxes of other spare parts to add in, seat pads, stick shift boots, brake cylindars, etc. Needs an altenator and a new front passenger side axle. Both easily findable after market parts.
Has been garaged since I got it from my uncle a few years back. It was in working condition when he parked it about 20 years ago and sat outside under a covered roof during that time, so pretty well preserved with very little rust issues. Other than someone stealing the altenator off of it, it is all there.”
http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/5819841359.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Listed as a 1953, it looks like an MB/GPW.
“53 willys $2000 OBO Needs work , ran when I parked it . Great project , mostly all their -no top”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900.
Half MB and half 1953 CJ-3A(?).
