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 .
There looks like some value here.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000
This must be a repro body of some kind. I haven’t encountered too many MB/GPW repro bodies with the tool indents on the passenger side. I wonder if there are any tool indents on the driver’s side?

“As my project draws to a close, I offer for sale this 1943 Willys 1/4T Reconnaissance Truck (jeep)(MB213995) and Willys 1/4T Trailer, Utility, restored to motorpool standards. For those of you who have not experienced military life, this means running correctly with the correct components as required to safely operate the vehicle during the WWII era. The only exception to this is the trailer which has not yet been restored, which would not stop you from driving the jeep and trailer in most parades without doing a thing to it. I have documented the entire tub off restoration of the jeep and assure you both run well. All the jeeps major systems (drive train, engine, trans, TC, electrical, fuel and brakes) have been thoroughly disassembled, cleaned, repaired or replaced and reassembled with era-correct reproduction or original NOS parts as specified in SNLG503 (the Army parts catalog for this type of vehicle). I have only really begun to return the 1944 Willys MBT trailer to it’s former glory, I serviced the wheel bearings,brakes and cosmetically cleaned up the trailer, so the new owner can have an active hand in the final restoration. The trailer will need have a wiring harness installed and mount some NDT tires to completely match the jeep. I want potential bidders to know that the trailer lunette and rims are post WWII parts from the sucessor to this model the M100. As anyone who gets bit by the “OD Fever” will tell you it’s impossible to restore one of these old warriors to working condition, by the book, without spending a few bucks along the way.”

Located at the General George Patton Museum of Leadership, this jeep certainly has some unusual modifications. I found the pictures below on Flickr. They were taken by Greg in 2009.
The Patton museum is located on the Fort Knox installation along US Highway 31W, just south of the US Highway 60 intersection.

“This is not a replica Jeep. It is a restored original, numbers matching, 4 cyl, 60 hp, 134 ci L-head (Go-Devil) engine. Early SLAT GRILLS are unique as they have no glove box, they have a round muffler, The original air cleaner is known as an oil bath air cleaner. It has hard rubber and 3/4 in rope hood bumpers, solid wheels, three bolt spare tire carrier, no blackout driving lights, no gas can holder, makers name is embossed on the rear panel and a slat grill on the willys. As noted by the serial number this Jeep is one of the last SLAT GRILLS. Only 200 slat grills are estimated to have survived through 2006, according to “Army Motors”, the official magazine of the Military Vehicle Preservation Assoc. The frame and body parts are all original.
The wheels are not “Combat Wheels”, but civilian wheels. “Combat Wheels” were “Not of Issue” on prototype Jeeps until S/N 125700. The reason being, Willys was in the automotive business prior to building “1/4 Ton Utility Trucks.” To meet the demands of the government contract, they had to bid the entire jeep at under $400.00 per unit. To stay under budget, they sold themselves Willys automobile wheels in the very early production (VEP JEEP) versions.
Jeeps were notorious for not stopping very well so I installed a set of 1954 Ford brakes and pads to make it safer on the street.
I also converted the original voltage regulator/electrical system to a modern day 12 volt electronic ignition system for added dependability.
The last Willys SLAT GRILL was S/N 125807; this is S/N 124833 and was devivered to the US Army on March 5, 1942. Frame off restorationwas completed in 2009 and she has been the star of hanger dances, parades, Veterans Day Events, air shows and USO shows. It is a show vehicle, not a ramble through the bushes and the brambles jeep. The mainenance manual is in English and Russian. It is “period correct” complete with a 48 star flag, all canvas top, shovel and Axe attached to the drivers side and a copy of an M! automatic carbile for the dash.”
UPDATE: Still Available

“Here is my 1945 willys MB. This took me three winters to do a full frame up restoration.The frame was sanblasted and coated with POR 15 before being painted, The front frame horns were replaced and the rear crossmember. The axles were gone through and also POR 15 and then painted. The T84 transmission was gone through and rebuilt also the transfercase.The MB stamped engine was rebuilt by an engine shop, has about 200 miles on it. The Tub,hood,fenders,and windshield frame came from willys overland, the grill is original. The canvas is from beachwwod canvas, and the wireing is from vintage wireing of maine.All five combat rims are original and were sandblasted coated with POR 15 and then painted.There are many original parts NOS parts and some new parts in this jeep.The brakes are all new and new lines.I had a guy on the G503 website do some research and find the hood numbers for this MB, which he felt these were the correct ones. The data plate on the frame horn is original and the plates on the glove box door came from dataplates4U.Serial #412XXX.This is a great looking MB, Im sure I forgot about some stuff, any questions feel free to ask or send me your phone number and I would be glad to talk to you.I will get some more photos posted this weekend.

“1951 Jeep CJ3A. I used this jeep at the hunting lease this year. The only thing I have done to it was have the fuel system gone through. I put a new electric fuel pump on it, and new filters. 4×4 works, tires are in great shape and the body is straight. I had planned to restore this after hunting season, but I just don’t have the time. I am asking $4000.00 obo for it. Feel free to contact me for a few more pics or to see it.”
