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 needs to be completed. Engine non original. Seller also has a Bantam Trailer for $850, too.
“This is a 1942 Willys MB GP (Jeep). Not a CJ. The pictures pretty much describe it best. This Willys has extraordinary potential for restoration with minimal rust — which is why I bought it in the first place. Having the data/serial number tag was a big bonus as well.
My employer has already given me notice of an upcoming transfer/move, so I’m selling off a lot of my projects that I won’t have time to complete. It will obviously need someone with time and knowledge to restore, but for those of us that enjoy breathing new life into something with so much history, this is a perfect candidate. As you can see in the photos, it has a cutaway section in the firewall where, at some point in its past, someone wanted a bigger engine it. They had also removed the engine mounts and the front cross member, but I have an original replacement cross member that goes with it. The transmission still has an adapter plate mounted to it, which was probably meant for the V6 Buick motor that was typically put in the early Willys CJ’s.
There is a T-90 transmission and transfer case still mounted in the Jeep, and I have an extra T-90 transmission, as well as a T-84 transmission that is in pieces and would need rebuilt. I also have an extra WWII era cowling (in pic) that can be used to bring the dash back to original. Included is a CJ engine that is in good condition, which may be a ’46 or ’47 but I’m not sure. I removed the head to inspect the inside, and it looks very good – should someone want to use this engine since it’ll bolt up the same as the military engine. I have several extra rims (with old tires), radiator, carb, flywheel, drive shafts, rear axle, and lots of misc engine and body pieces.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
A spring-over- had been added to this jeep.
“I have had it sitting for a few years and don’t have time for it. It’s pretty much completely stock except for a spring over kit and floor boards replaced. It has not been started in about 4 years but ran when parked. Has a TEXAS TITLE!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $175.
The tires and rims look ready to mount.
“For Sale ~ Four (4) Willys 15″ Steel Rims with Radial Tires (205 x 70 x 15). Rims in great shape ~ Tires have 75%+ tread. See photos. These came off a FC150 but will work on CJ3B, CJ5/6 and FC150/170 and others.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
This has potential.
“This is a serious project, but it’s all there. Currently has a 235 Chevy straight six. Turns over with compression. Run a year or so ago. Truck has not been registered since 1974. Has black plates. No longer in the system and I can give you a bill of sale but that’s it. Took this truck in on a trade, and maybe I shouldn’t have, but I have ridden in it off road and it is a fun a old beast. Gas tank needs to be mounted and the brakes need work to be any use. 4 wheel drive works fine and she’ll climb anything you want. Will trade for motorcycle, project OK plus $$$ Maybe for a 4 door family car, but that’s about it, no 420, no electronics etc.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500.
“1947 never any rust. always garaged, 22000 original miles. This is the civilian model of the WWII jeep. Original and running well !”
Here’s a neat friction Surrey Jeep.
“Vintage Pink Surrey Willies Overland Jeep CJ Wrangler Scale Metal Friction Model!
Please view the images for condition.
Here we have an awesome tin friction car modeled after some old Jeep, not sure of the exact model. Friction motor was locking up at first but appears fine now and seems to work alright. Looks like there may have been a top over the passenger compartment at one time as there are six of the typical tin holes for extra parts to fit into on the rear of the jeep and the windshield frame. Overall great condition, might need some cleaning in the tight areas and does show some minimal wear. No maker mark or country of origin stamp on this one. Totally excellent jeep!!”

This image was drawn by Robert W. Huzzard. His suggestion won a prize about how a1/4 ton might be converted into an ambulance. The drawing is part of a magazine article I will be posting tomorrow night.
I found this February 1944 article on fire-fight testing at Willys Overland. You can view the whole issue on Google.
This is unusual.
“Here is a very unique matchbook with JEEP on the front….with the exception of some, dare I say idiot, putting a sticker on the front, this matchbox is in GOOD condition overall…..on the binding edge of the box it says: Mario da Silva Cravo S/A, Salvador-Bahia……on the back side there are some embossed words also that say: Couro Genuinem, Ernesto Rothschild, S. Paulo, Pat. Reg…measures 2 1/4 x 1 1/2 inches and is about 1/2 inch thick……pretty neat!”

Greg wants to add full floater hubs to his rig, but needs a couple items.
He writes, “Looking for a floater kit or pieces to make my rear D44 CJ axle a floater for flat towing. I’m using Dualmatic locking hubs up front, and have two additional spare sets I’ll use to build the back hubs. Primarily just need the axles if anyone may have a spare set. Or perhaps someone has a long one I can cut down, and respline for the long side, then I’ll use my long side to cut for the short one.”
HOG spotted this. It looks like a good price.

This has a Navy Depot Maintenance data plate.
“Awsome true us navy jeep. I have never seen a navy jeep for sale anywhere. The navy did not have many , so that makes them very rare. Has been in my neighborhood for years and i never knew it. The owner saw that i restored jeeps and asked if i wanted to finish this one. It was on the family farm for years and the motor went out. They pulled the motor and had it built at knights engine rebuil;ders. { i have the paper work} the motor was never put back into the jeep. They lost interest and it just sat in the back of the work shop.
I mostly bought the jeep for the motor, but after i got it home i saw how good condition the body was in. Very little rust. It has all the original floor pans and back tub.the underside is one of the best i have ever seen.no rust at all on the frame or running gear. Then i saw that it was issued to the dept of the navy. Holy cow i have never even seen one of these.
I then decided to restore the jeep. It went to the sand blast shop for a complete rotisserie sand blast. All paint, dirt, grease ,were removed back to the bare metal. [see pictures] it was primered with rustolium gray primer. 1 – 1/2 gallons. I then did some body work but as you can see in the pictures i keep it like it looked when in service. I left a lot of the weld marks and dents. This is not a new tub but it is the original tub. You can see the front fenders have the normal damage from off road use. The fact that it is the original tub makes it the real thing. Jeeps that have had the tubs replaced are then kit cars and lose collector value.
Then the jeep was sprayed with rustolium battle ship gray enamal. Another 1- 1/2 gallons top to bottom. It now has more paint on it than when it was new. We installed the motor with a new clutch and bearing. New plugs ,points, new battery 12 volt . As expected being a new motor it started right up. It runs like new because it is. . We replaced the master cylinder with a new one. The brakes work but not the best. I did not pull the brake drums and have them turned or new pads. I recomend you do this. It drives and shifts fine, high and low work.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Randy spotted this top. It’s not perfect, but finding a never installed arctic top sure is unusual. I’d like to know the story behind it.
“RARE…NOS never installed Willys jeep artic hard-top M38. Some surface rust from sitting in crate outside, 2 broken windows on back panel, maybe missing some hardware”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
