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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
Pics now provided. It looks like a reproduction body.
“1954 Willys Jeep CJ3B , great body, completely rebuilt motor,4 cylinder F head,new tires new top not installed, new gas tank, new battery,fuel pump, needs brakes,”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $2000.
This looks like a good project.
“This is a project that a previous owner started and never finished. Frame, running gear and engine have been cleaned and painted, new rubber brake lines, new shocks. Military MD engine has rebuild tag that reads .030, .010, .010. Starter turns engine over nicely. No wiring harness, no 24V equipment, some 12V ignition parts. Tub is solid, no rust, but will need some work. 16″ wheels and tires. Original military seats have new pads and black vinyl on them. Military data plate included. I have a clear Idaho title in my name. Data plate # and VIN on title match. This is a great old Jeep project for someone. All the dirty disassembly work is done and it’s ready to be put back together the way you want it. Not 100% complete so you’ll still need to find some parts. Will need to be trailered, I can deliver within 75 miles of Boise”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
No title. Engine is in the back.

I interpret this as 8 rims for $200. I’m not sure if the seller will sell 4 for $100.
“I have 2 sets of 4 vintage turbine rims that are 5 lugs. they dont make them like this anymore so im asking 200.00 or best offer. reply to this add and we will call you. thanks”
Rear seat not included.
“I have a 1945 ww2 jeep for sale. Yes.. This one IS a willys mb not the CJ2As that are painted green and mistaken for military.
I went through the trouble of getting a bonded title. All that is needed to get plates is insurance.
The motor runs, and I repacked the wheel bearings and replaced the brake shoes and shocks. I also installed a master cylinder and replaced all four wheel cylinders. The brakes could use some adjusting. It does have some rust through on the floor and sides. The transmission should probably be rebuilt. The gears grind a bit going in. There is no original gas tank so I’ve been using a boat tank. The rear seat shown in the pictures is not included. It is something I welded up with rebar, its not willys manufacture and is going on another project. This jeep would be perfect as the base for a restoration or it could be used as is on a dear lease. However I’d rather see it fixed up than left to rust on some land.
Call for more information.
Thanks for looking

Somebody need this?
“I have a Spicer 23 full floating rear axle. My research suggests that this was the only full floating rear axle for a CJ from the factory. I think it was only made in 1945 and 1946. While they don’t have a great reputation for being strong, they are hard to find in working condition so if you are looking for original parts or a period restoration, this may be good for you!
I removed the rear cover and the gears and shafts all look in good condition. I removed and reinstalled the shafts while removing the backing plates and they look good as well. Comes with 9″ drum brakes from a 56 CJ5 (I kept my upgraded 11’s when swapping it out).
$125 obo or we can trade for something I need…”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
The tub is a replica.
“1944 Ford GPW WWII jeep, Body tub is a new aftermarket that has just sat around for years, and was never used to build a jeep. It is a replica MB body tub, if you notice the push button holes for the locker boxes have not even been drilled out yet. As stated, frame is an original WWII GPW Ford on wheels. I will sell all for $1200 or body can be boought separate for $800 and frame on wheels can be boought for $450. Frame has all brand new brakes on front end and rear end and the drums have been turned. Jeep was never built.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
Unclear how much value is here.
“Not exactly sure of the year, I seem to recall it is a 1943. Has engine, transmission, etc.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2150
“This is a May of 1945 GPW Ford Built Jeep. Has original Data plate that matches frame GPW 2589**. It is a major project but these are about the easiest thing out there to restore. Has a later F head willys motor currently. Does have original tow bar on front and lots of original “f” marked parts. I also have the correct air filter, correct radiator, correct voltage regulator. Has correct f marked front seats and correct gas tank still in it. Original dash with gauges. Rust in front floors. No title, but does have old black plate and years worth of old registrations that match the numbers in the glove box. Again it has rust, body need lots of work. The other jeep in the background is not for sale!”

This panel wagon looks solid. It needs a few addition things done to it.
“Iam selling my restored rare 1962 2 wheel drive sedan delivery wagon. This vehicle has many many new parts including a freshly rebulit 134 f head engine. new suspension (shocks, shackles, leaf springs front and rear)

tires and cragar chrome rims.(have original baby moon hub cap and rims also). New paint, the inside bed is cover in bed liner paint.
The entire undercarriage have been covered in POR paint. Few things to point out vacuum wipers do not work, passenger door closes but gap is not perfect. Gas gauge work sporadically (i put new sending unit in so think its
a grounding problem). The front hood and grill trim pieces have been rechromed, the bumpers have not.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Every inch of the vehicle is fully restored from original parts??. . . It’s a fraudulent claim; Yet, the bidding on this has been pushed to $20,000 (driven mostly by one bidder). This seems fishy to me. If you are bidding on this jeep, email me.
