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 .

This is a no reserve auction.
“NO RESERVE on this MB Military Jeep Parts/Project car, I don’t know much about these I was told it is a 1941(so you be the Judge). I appears to be mostly complete but it is all apart. Please look at all the pictures, all I have for it is what you see in the pictures and nothing more. It does NOT have a title. It is rough and the body does have rust, it is sold as is where is.”
This is a mix of civilian and military parts.

“1942 WILLYS CJ2A MOTOR IS A SB CHEVY, GOOD TIRES, RUNS GOOD”
Since this has a variety of aftermarket parts, including the body, this is in decent shape because it isn’t 70 years old.
“$3500 cash and she’s yours!! don’t bother asking if I will take less cause I wont!
You won’t find one this nice at this price anywhere! Over all she’s in nice shape for a 70 yr old Jeep but she does need a lil work.”

This looks like it might be a good price, even though it doesn’t run at the moment. The rear of the body is a little longer than normal.

Here is a possible MZ-1 Radio Jeep.
“1944 WW2 Willys MZ1 Jeep for sale. This Jeep was originally made as a Radio Jeep for the Navy/USMC during World War 2. After it’s military career this Jeep was sold as surplus and was used as a ranch and hunting Jeep on a ranch in Northern California until recently.After research and consulting with WW2 Jeep collectors the features found that lead us to believe this is a 1944 MZ1 are listed below.
1. The Jeep Body has the access in the transmission hump between the front seats for the generator, there is signs of antenna by driver’s crash pad, and a hole in the bottom of the glove box. The body number is 4161, which is consistent with a mid 1944 MZ1. The Body has the MB style cowl gussets, round toolbox latch indentions, trailer socket hole and gas can holder strengthening. No Data plates are present.
2. The Frame is a MB frame and no frame tag is present however there are bolt holes instead of rivets between the bumperette mounting holes, which indicate lifting rings were present at some time. There is also signs that a spare tire foot brace was used on this Jeep.
3. The engine number is # 352454, which is consistent with a mid 1944 Jeep.
The Jeep starts, stops, and drives however it needs to be restored. We did have the front frame horns, front bumper gussets and new bumper installed. Starter, and fuel pump were refurbished and a new battery installed. This is sold as a parts vehicle with bill of sale only. It is not road worthy and needs to be loaded onto a trailer. I have taken photos and a walk around video. The Jeep is sold as is, please contact me if you have any questions or would like additional photos.”
