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 .
I can’t tell if this has rear floating hubs or not. Sports a V6.

Only one bid on this one so far.
“When i was 14 years old my father bought me my first car this is it. The item your looking at is a 1945 Willy’s MB. it is all original when we got it the guys said it just needed a fuel pump but i never got around to doing that. The only thing i ever did it was paint it green. We sanded down through the hood paint once to find that the original numbers are still there. I wish i could keep it forever but i will be happy to see it go to a good home. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
The MB’s data tags are dated 12/18/1941. Now, whether they are original to the flattie or not is another matter.

UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $800. This was sold once previously through eWillys.
“I have a 43 Willys MB Jeep. I have used a lot of the parts off this jeep for another build. It does come with frame, tub, engine, trans, transfer case, axles, steering, wheels and tires, and all you see in the pictures. Frame is solid. The floor in the tub has been replaced by someone using regular sheet steel and not replacement pan parts, but they did a decent job. They cut a tail gate into the back and reinforced it with angle iron. Engine is the 134 L-head. It turns over freely, never did try to start it. Transfer case shifts into gears. Transmission does not want to shift into gears. I would recommend both trans and transfer case be rebuilt do to age. Axles appear to be in working order but look like they could use seals. Has original speedo. Steering components are good. Wheels are good but tires are a bit dry. Comes with matching spare.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.

“nice project, one almost there, the other one for spare parts hood – front grill – windshield & mount, seats & mounts, – extra grill – extra hood, tail gate is there also, no motor – trans – or transfer case”

It’s a mix of parts.
“Willis Jeep for restore or parts. Not knowledgeable enough to tell you model or year of jeep just guessing about 1942. Listed it last year for sale and too many jeep enthusiasts convinced me to keep it and restore it like I had always wanted to. I appreciated their encouragement and well wishes but a year has passed and it sits in the same spot.
Since my chickens sit in it more than I do I figured it must go. It may only be good for parts now.
I do not have the time to commit to the project and hope someone that does will want to tackle this one. I do not know where the title is for it. I bought it from overseas. Asking $2500 OBO.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This is a mix of MB/GPW and 2A parts.

New Solex carburetor, fuel pump, fuel regulator and HEI distributor. Runs and drives. Great restoration project. I have too many projects going and need to sell this one.”
Looks like someone painted over the data tags.
