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 motor.

This has a few changes.
“1942 Willys Jeep with clear California Title. This cool little jeep fires right up and runs great. The Willys motor is strong and I have receipts for a new clutch and a rebuild on the original T90 transmission. Master cylinder and wheel cylinders were gone through with new bearings at that time (in 93). The previous owner used it on his ranch for the last 20 years. It was used by a local logging company for several years out in the woods so the pan had some rust issues which they fixed by welding steel plate over top of. The gas tank has been relocated. Speedo and Gauges all work except fuel.
A good project you can drive and enjoy while restoring it, or if you have a jeep already that needs great running gear here you go. Check the pictures and video closely as I am no expert and will not be able to answer any “originality questions”. Thanks and Good Luck. Buyer to pay all shipping costs. Will store here for 30 days.We will load onto your transport and can help with getting a shipper.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3700. This was listed for sale in 12/04/2008. It was priced at $3000 at that time.
The body lacks tool indents and has the tire mounted like the CJ-1 and CJ-2s. The front clips appears to be MB.

UPDATE: Was $3900. **SOLD** Dexter noted the crossmember appears square, suggesting this may be a GPW.
(04/26/2011) This appears to be a GPW with a early CJ-2A grille (rather than being a VEC CJ-2A).

There are a few things that aren’t original, but it looks like a fun parade rig.
“Here is a 1943 Willy’s MB military jeep. Runs excellent. Belonged to a 92 year-old veteran who used it in MVCC club. A whole lot of history here.”
UPDATE: Was $3000. **SOLD**
This has a variety of updates.

“This willys is titled as a 1943. IT IS BY NO MEANS AN ORIGINAL MILITARY JEEP. Jeep is solid all the way around. Runs good, has no mechanical problems, except for small leak in the right header at the collector, has current inspection till 8/11, and a clear title. Engine is a 1967 odd-fire V6 (Dauntless V6) with a 4 barrel holley carb, has all aluminum heavy duty radiator, trans is a T86 newly rebuilt by a professional trans shop. Has a borg-warner All Range Overdrive unit. New clutch as of june 2010. rear is Dana 44 out of a CJ5 with 11 inch drum brakes, Front rear is a Dana 30 out of the same CJ5 with disc brakes and lock out hubs. The front is about 2 inches wider than the rear due to the disc brakes. You could run spacers in the back to even everything up, I chose not to, simply because I don’t care for them. Has new rancho leaf springs that provide a 1 inch lift. Tires are 33×12.50×15 Dunlop Mud Rovers with less than 1000 miles on them, on 15×10 wagon wheels. Willys also has power steering, heater, defroster and Sun Tach. The top on the willys is just the old top that I got when I bought it. I have sewn new window plastic in the drivers, passengers, and rear windows, due to the yellowing with age. I have more plastic that I will give along with the willys. (remind me of it) there is also a bikini top for the willys. Has racing seats with 5 point harnesses in the front, and a small bench seat with 4 point harnesses in the rear. The willys is by no means a speed demon, I do not recommend taking it on the interstate highways, but crusing around town up to 50 miles an hour it a great ride. Will Trade for running driving 67, or 68 mercury cougar”

(04/13/2011) “1943 Willys MB and extra parts. Vehicle is complete including the windshield, but body is rough and needs work. The axles are from a 1947 Willys and it has a T-90 transmission and a twin stick transfer case. I drove it all over before I parked it and pulled the motor. Body has been sitting for a year. The L134 Go Devil engine has been completely rebuilt by professional mechanic and ready to install. The block has machined and bored 60 over by Diamond Machine. The internal and rebuild parts all came from Northwest Military Vehicles. With the MB comes another set of axles from a 1943 MB and a T-84 transmission case which I bought seperatly to take the MB back to original. Asking $2500.00 or best offer for all of it. I have just about $2000 in the engine alone. MB is titled in Idaho. E-mail me with any questions. Pics to come and detailed pics on request.”
