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 .
No pics posted yet. Could be a wrongly titled MB/GPW as well.
I am selling my old 1946 willies army jeep. It does run. Offers welcome but because it does start I am asking at least $5000.00. I have the title and will only accept cash, no payments.
Contact through email only, highest bid takes it. But again, cash only. I would be willing to show but you will have to make an appointment…I will also post pictures tomorrow.”
It’s got MB tool box covers, but looks like it has a GPW front cross member.

“1943 Willys – Overland Military Jeep…. This is a project vehicle… Jeep was found under a house, mummified…. Been there since 1968… Had to drag it out… Power train frozen… 4 cyl military motor had been swapped out with a 6 cyl Studebaker somewhere in the early 50’s…. That’s all the old gal could remember…. She said it was running when it went into it’s grave… Some parts are off motor, starter, generator… Does/did it run… No Idea… A family member started to get it running… Pulled tranny & transfer case… Found broken gears in tranny… Bought new,,, Included… Then started on transfer case… found reason for locked power train…. transfer case completely rusted solid… and so ended the repairs to the Jeep…. Have some manuals… included…Tub is in great shape…. No Rust… most all parts from original Military configuration seem to be there…. but you need to see and make up your own mind… This baby needs some TLC….

It’s been customized.
“I am selling my Jeep… I bought it a little over a year ago, and have done a lot of work in starting to restore it. It has a 56 ford straight six engine, an old three speed manual transmission, 87 Toyota axles and is a lot of fun. I put on a new starter, single wire alternator, wiring harness, brake lines, and custom soft top. I bought it for 2500, and wanted to slowly build up parts to do a total rebuild. Unfortunately life gets in the way, so I am going to let it go. It is a ton of fun, and always grabs attention, and it could be someones dream car with a little time and patience.”
UPDATE: More photos added, including interior shots. It’s clearly a compilation of parts. It is listed as a 1950 M-38, but the body and fenders are MBish or aftermarket MBish. Unclear why there are no tool indents on driver’s side.

“Currently restoring a 1943 Ford GPW and bought this tub to replace my original tub that came with my Jeep. Had this tub for a little over 3yrs and was slowly prepping it for my restoration. While restoring the tub I found an original Ford GPW ACM Type I tub, so this one went into storage. Asked several of my Jeep friends if they wanted this tub and got no response, so its going up on here.
UPDATE: Was $700. **Status Unknown**
(11/01/2014) Might be a good price.
“1945 willys mb jeep builders project for off road or for restoration. solid frame body needs rockers ,floor is solid. no motor or transmission”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.
Includes a total of five combat rims.
“FOR SALE: 1944 MB 307788 (frame #) with newly rebuilt engine MB 441194 (7-5-44) and what appears to be the original tub (#2109). This jeep comes with its own title.
$15,000 located in Summerville, SC.
I originally began this restoration in September of 2011. All of the major components (axles, transmission, transfer case, etc.) were opened, inspected and items repaired/replaced as needed. Installed reproduction MV Spares wire harness and utilizes the original 6-volt electrical system. The tub was taken down to bare metal with the rust-through areas replaced. By no means is this factory-style tub: I did not bother smoothing out the majority of the dents. The original bumper is not perfectly straight, either.
The MB engine was just recently rebuilt. The machine work was done in September 2014 and the engine was assembled in October. NO CRACKS were found in both the head and block. The pistons were bored out to .060. Number 4 cylinder was sleeved. The crankshaft mains were ground to .020 and the rods were .040. The machinist also removed the old valve guides and installed the new guides. The head was decked to ensure level.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1700
(11/13/2014) No pics provided.
“This a 1942 (I think) Willys MB Jeep. It appears to all military except the headlights which appear to CJ 2 A type. Needs restoring. I bought it as a project and realize I have no time. Engine turns over, but I have not run it. It has a set of wheels from an M 151 and tires that hold air.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
“Here we have a 1942 Willy’s Jeep rolling frame. It is actually everything EXCEPT the body.

” have three WW11 Jeeps. One is a 1942 with the Willy’s tornado engine in it. (I have heard this one run)
One is a 1946 CJ2A. This one has the Chrysler engine in it.
The third one (the blue one) is just a shell and frame no drive train. It is set up to take a small block Chevy.
I have a ton of extra parts for these jeeps. Including 4 extra transmissions and transfer cases, a brand new soft top (still in the box), a few winches as well as a ton of other stuff.
