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: Price dropped to $2800

Needs a pedal fix. The body has a drain hole for some reason. Might be a replacement tub.

(10/13/2015) This is an MB on a CJ chassis.
“This is a great project for a Jeep person! Two Jeeps for the price of one. First is a military MB Jeep. The body is in good shape, solid, has recored radiator, new front bumper, original rims have been blasted and ready for paint in the back. Some other parts in boxes go along with also. No engine, transmission or transfer case. This one is easily restoreable and would be a great parade vehicle or military collectible. The second Jeep is a civilian CJ2A which is very similar to the first one, it has the drivetrain still in it. Engine is stuck but could probably be freed up. Body on this one is not as bad as some , between the two you can make one runner! Neither one currently has a title, but can be titled with little effort. Asking $2200 or best offer for both, need to go before winter so come look and make an offer!”

These jeeps will be auctioned tomorrow. They look to be MBs and an M-38A1. No other descriptions provided.

“1945 Willys MB Jeep
This jeep has been sitting for 5 years since it last ran. The engine will run, but has not been started lately.
T-84 transmission.
L134 motor – out of something newer like a CJ2A.
Body is pretty straight.
Not a lot of rust for the year.
There are pictures of rust holes in the floorboard of driver and passenger side.”
Seller has listed this as a 1943, but it looks more like a CJ-3A or even a DJ (no gas inlet).
“PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST All original, not currently running, however it will run with a battery and oil change. It has been sitting a couple years. It ran when I parked it and it’s stored indoors. NOW LISTEN This is a very desirable vehicle. I WILL NOT GIVE A PRICE. Make me an offer if your interested. Email me your offer, name and telephone number and I will contact you.”

“This jeep is titled and registered (historic) in the state of NJ as a 1945 Willys MB. It was originally made by Willys for the US Army during WWII. Sensible, conservative frame-off resto in 2012. Starts, runs, shifts, steers, and stops great. No excessive smoke or leaks, no popping out of gear, and no rust. Primed with Rustoleum red oxide and finished with three coats of Gillespie 319. New repro (Beachwood OD 3) canvas seats. This is not a trailer queen. Turns heads in parades, at car shows, or as a daily runabout from April to October. Stored in heated garage on trickle charger every winter. If you’re a military buff, this jeep is ready for the hood and bumper stencils of your choice. If you just like old jeeps, this is the very first production model of the vehicle Enzo Ferrari called “America’s only true sports car.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,500.

“1945 Willys MB full restoration, off the frame”

“I have a 1945 Willys Jeep MB. I originally got it to restore and as such have gathered a bunch of parts. I drove the jeep into my shop 2 years ago and started pulling the transmission to have it rebuilt and haven’t touched it since. The transmission and transfercase are still in the jeep. It will need to be trailered. I do have another transmission that’s good to go but it’s the civilian version. This is a military jeep with the dash tags still on it. It does have rust holes and isn’t perfect, it’s a project after all. The brakes have all been redone, the tires are good and I have clear tx title in my name ready to go. Some of the parts I have include a transmission, disassembled transfer case, pto, radiator with shroud, hood, windshield hinges and a bunch of miscellaneous small parts. I’m asking $4500 cash OBO. I’m also willing to trade for first generation dodge cummins parts. I hate to sell the jeep but I have more projects than time and I’d like to see it go to someone who will do something with it.
Feel free to email me for more pics or questions. And if you have any 12 valve cummins parts. Make me an offer, all I can say is no.”
UPDATE: Pics now provided.
