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 .

“Here’s a project that never quite got off the ground. Long story short: bought a Willys MB that had been rolled, tossed nearly everything short of the frame, then purchased all new parts to build a “new” jeep. But, because the frame was bent, it never got put back together… and that’s why we’re here today.
I put together a spreadsheet listing everything that goes with this project and used current prices to come up with an approximate value of around $10k for everything if one were to purchase it individually. See the spreadsheet here. Note – there is no motor included.
Everything is packed neatly into a crate for easy shipping by truck. Overall dimensions of the crate are around 10’Lx7.5’Wx6’H. Weight is probably around 3,000#.
I have larger versions of the pictures below – please send me a message on eBay if you’d like to see them or if you have any other questions. You can also give me (Brian) a call at (760) 500-3608 with any other questions.”

Merlin’s helping sell this 1945 MB with a 1941 tub. You can learn more about this former WWII veteran’s jeep here: http://hansonmechanical.wordpress.com/2013/09/27/veterans-jeep-up-for-adoption/
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
It’s not a great specimen, but this jeep was one of a couple thousand jeeps reconditioned/remanufactured by the Allison Steel Manufacturing Corporation. Learn more about the remanufacturing program here.
“Im listing this jeep for a friend: Very Rare March 1942 Ford GPW World War 2 Jeep. This one is very interesting because its a WW2 Willy’s MB frame stamped GPW 6559. As you can tell by the number its early for a WW2 Jeep. And the date plates on the glove box match the frame numbers of GPW 6559. There is a Reconditioning Date plate on the center of the dash saying that it was reconditioned in Phoenix Arizona on February 1945!
The engine is out of a M38A1 and runs well from what we can tell. It was reconditioned by Ralph’s Machine Shop from San Jose, Ca. in December 1976. The transmission is a MB T84. It don’t shift do to 1 tooth broken off. The inside of the transmission looks very clean. The transfer is a Ford GPW marked.
The front seats are in excellent condition and are “F” marked and so are the fenders(no rust on fenders) and some other bolts on the jeep because its a GPW body. Floors have rust by don’t look too bad. Data Plates are original, one is steel and the others are brass. Rear of body is skinned, original sheet metal is still underneath. Gauges are original except for the temperature gauge. Steering box is “F” marked. We believe it has a M38 gas tank? Front window frame in great shape, inner is in good shape except for the inner center bar which can be easily replaced. Brake system is dry, no fluid. Front and rear of frame need work near the bumpers. Please check out the pictures.
He was planning to restore it but already has one he is working on. One of the Outstanding things about this jeep is the low serial numbers of 6559 and the MB frame stamped GPW! Meaning Ford used Willys frames at the factory. And that the data plates match the frame, all Very Cool. Definately worth a restoration.”
UPDATE: Was listed at $6500.

This is a mix of parts.
“I have a willys that was started to be restored a number of years ago and never finished. The frame was painted, new shocks, new brake shoes, wheel cylinders, spring kits, rubber brake lines. Has a military 1952 tub, hood, and grill with the flip head lights from a earlier Ford GPW. I have new windshield rubber and seal, new mirrors, and a few other new parts. There are some extra parts that go with it, front axel shafts, starters, brackets, extra tail gate, and more. It is missing some parts, gauges, tail lights and others. The flat head 4 cyl engine is tight and only good for a core. Radiator and drive shafts are sitting in the jeep. I also have an extra transmission and case with a PTO on it that will go with it. This jeep is in need of lots of work but has a nice body that needs very little work. I have a 46 title with it that was signed so you will also need to fill out a form with the title to transfer it to your name, have had to do a couple like this, not a big deal.

Ok… Here it is. I as selling my Willys Jeep. It has been my daily driver for the last 2 years and runs great.

It will do 75 on the freeway. Power steering. The intake is leaking oil, I have the gasket, just haven’t got around to changing. It only leaks when it’s running anyway.

Joe checked this one out. He needs someone to buy this so he doesn’t buy it. Below is his great report on the vehicle:
“I don’t think they know if it is ’41, ’42, or later since the title has an “Assigned Registration” sticker on it. I think this means the title is based on what an owner reported to DMV/MVD, rather than what a true title history or expert might have detemined. The numbers plate was not on the glove box and I forgot to check the frame behind the front tire. Despite some surface rust, it’s probably still there.
A title for the vehicle (but ONLY if you take it ALL with you: he’s had full price offers for just the title and refuses)
· 1942 GPW Body (not Ford script) in rough but restorable condition.
· 1942? GPW Frame cut at the front horns, homemade bumpers, and power? steering box.
· Front and rear full floating (military type) axles and springs.
· Front locking hubs (Warn old-school type – see pic).
· Bumperettes (sitting in the back: looked good… might be newer than WWII, though).
· CJ2A “bug-eyed” 7-slot front grill.
· Decent modern bucket seats that look comfortable and useable.
But…
· No engine, no transmission or transfer case, no drive shafts
· No windshield, no gas tank, no orig seat frames
· No combat rims, no spare tire bracket, no gas can holder”
