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 .

“71,000 original miles. 6-226 engine. New clutch, transmission & brakes. Always garaged.”
There appears to be some rust, but otherwise this looks clean. The seller says it needs assembly, so maybe it doesn’t look like this anymore?
“Project jeep. Lots of new parts. Needs assembly. call or text Bob at 920-382-2083”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
The rear wheel looks bigger than the front to me. I bet that doesn’t work out so well in 4wd.

The cover on this mailer (of a pig behind a tiny tree) is unusual. I am guessing this strategy didn’t work as I haven’t ran into pigs in other willys/jeep brochures.
“Here we have an auction for a nice original factory dealership sales brochure. This is an original print (not a reproduction or later made piece) This is an original piece as handed out at the dealerships when the models were new.

UPDATE: It turns out these aren’t toys. Instead they are Snow Village ceramic collectibles for people who like christmas villages. These jeeps were introduced into the Snow Village line in 2000 and retired in 2002.There are two of these ceramic jeeps on eBay at different prices. At 4″ x 1 3/4″ x 2 1/4 these jeeps aren’t very big.

“DEPARTMENT 56 – Classic Cars 1954 WILLY’S CJ3 JEEP”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on ebay.
Looks like a good restoration.
“Very rare 1942 Willys ‘Slat Grill’ MB with original numbers matching 4 cylinder 60 hp, 134ci L-head ‘Go Devil’ engine with only 1660 miles on it!. Only 200 ‘slat grills’ are estimated to have survived through 2006, according to Army Motors, the official magazine of the Military Vehicle Preservation Association. The last Willys Slat Grill was S/N 125807 – this one is SN 124833 and was delivered to the US Army on March 5, 1942. A full frame-off rebuild was completed in 2009 and she has appeared at hanger dances, parades, Veteran Day’s events, air shows, and USO shows. This is a true show vehicle and not something you take to the bush for hunting. It comes complete with an all canvas top, shovel and axe attached to the side, upgraded brakes, a 12 volt electronic ignition system, and a copy of a M1 Automatic Carbine on the dash. This is a true gem and is garaged – does not sit outside in the weather. A rare opportunity to get a piece of history. Soon enough these will only be found in museums or in private collections. A rare piece of US history to be admired. Shipping or transportation is the responsibility of the buyer. Taylor’s transport does excellent shipping from Canada to USA at reasonable prices. Seller reserves the right to pull the listing if sold before the auction ends. Good luck and thanks for bidding.”
UPDATE: This sold quickly for $5000.
This looks like a great candidate for a restoration.
“This is a 1945 ford gpw military jeep. As far as I know it was only issued to the navy.It belonged to my grandfather who lived in northern Nevada (home of the top gun naval air base) where this jeep spent it’s entire life.It is a dry western vehicle as the pictures show,and has only a few rust-outs along the axe and shovel mounts.this was a radio jeep and so it has a power junction box on the pass. side.Has many accessories intact including: spare tire and mount,jerry can and mount,axe and shovel mount, ball hitch, pintle hitch, antenna power socket,rifle mount tabs,hand-operated windshield wipers, all gauges,data plates and knobs,black-out fender light,original jack,tire iron,and aux.starter crank and tow bar. also there are some new in box spare parts including timing gears and tune up kit.Unfortunately,there is a small crack on the water jacket side of the engine but all other parts of the running gear are good and as the pictures show most of the body including the floors, tool boxes, dash, seats, fenders, and wheel wells are almost immaculate. With a little work this jeep could be show quality. Send message through e-bay or call 1-775-442-0142. Also,I have a friend who is a pro auto shipper and has shipped this jeep before.He is very reasonable and can ship anywhere in the U.S. Thank you for looking!”

This has a MB block with a GPW head. It has no title.
“Take a look at this beautiful 1945 Ford GPW, serial number 247613, date of delivery January 1945. This jeep has undergone a frame off restoration and is perfect for parades, re-inactors, and collectors. This started out as a hunting camp jeep rescued from a camp in Gettysburg Pennsylvania two years ago.
It underwent a frame off restoration done by me over the past several months. I have owned over 24 jeeps and have restored about 17 of them, several MB’s, GPW’s and CJ’s have sold successfully on e-Bay.
The frame was in good shape but needed new front frame horns. It had the wrong body on it and the previous owner put in a civilian flat head L-head engine. The body and that engine were removed and a professionally rebuilt MB engine with a GPW head was put into this jeep as well as a new reproduction DL Bensinger Body.
Everything has been gone through on this jeep and everything has been cleaned, repainted, or replaced with new, NOS, or repro parts.
Chassis and Drive Train: All original GPW drive train except the engine block. Tranny, transfer case, axles, leaf springs front and rear – original F-marked GPW. New/rebuilt shackles, new shocks, new axle bumpers, frame stripped and sand blasted repaired front frame horns including gussets, and bumper – the frame horns repaired/welded to repair some 60 years of wear and tear.

Rebuilt steering box and drag link with original re-painted steering wheel. New rear bumperettes, original F-marked pintle hook. 4 new 6×16 6 Ply NDT tires on excellent blasted and repainted combat rims. Spare is a few years older NDT on excellent combat rim.
Engine: An original MB engine that was rebuilt by PROMAR engine rebuilders was put into this jeep. Professionally rebuilt W-O carburetor, new fuel pump, rebuilt manifolds and new gaskets, new 12 volt alternator, new coil, new wiring, new battery, new hoses, new belts, new 180 degree t-stat, new temp. gauge, new ammeter, new fuel gauge and sender, new fuel lines, new plugs and wires. Professionally repaired radiator and new cap.
Body: Bensinger MD Juan GPW body kit; new tub, fenders, grille, windshield including new glass, hood, seats, new fuel tank, new top bows, brackets and hardware, new canvas seats and top (Canvas is Beachwood Canvas), repro. shovel and axe, original 1945 dated gas can, repro. water bucket, rebuilt authentic blackout lights, new headlights and tail-lights, repro data plates.
Misc: All new modern electric, all cloth covered wires, all new gauges, all lights, all new switches work properly. Wiring harness and switches modified to work for regular driving and parades and re-inacting – not for 1940’s war conditions.
Vehicle does not have a title. Mileage is not accurate, new speedometer.”

This GPW will need some work. More pics on the ad.
“First registered in 1948 when auctioned by the D.O.D.and according to the VIN number, this Light Utility Vehicle is believed to be a 1942 WWII production Ford GPW “Jeep”.;Visit this web site for more information on the Ford GPW Jeep…http://www.kaiserwillys.com/about_willys_jeep_mb_history_specs. As can be seen in the pictures, this was a project started many years ago before the value as an historic vehicle was given consideration. The body has some Bondo here and there, but you’ll be hard pressed to find any rust or any damage to the body or frame. Unlike alot of other WWII Vehicles out there, with a moderate amount of effort, this particular WWII vehicle can be restored fairly easy. The engine and drive train are original to this chassis and have been reconditioned/rebuild and the only modifications are the Alternator, Air Cleaner and Oil Filter (All 3 original units come as spares). The only other mods are the front seats with the originals in the back, the gas tank, which is not connected, the front brakes are now disc type, the currently mounted steering wheel is a CalCustom unit, but the original steering wheel is also included. NEW Side Curtains and Top with bBows included and comes with a later 1963 Utility Trailer. Clean un-dated and signed title to both vehicles. The owner has passed away and I’m advertising the Jeep for the family located in Walnut, California who has Power of Attorney for any other legal docs you may desire. It is strongly believed the vehicle is drivable but you will have to bring tools, battery and gas to make sure, otherwise SOLD AS IS. Buyer must also arrange pick-up in Walnut, California. The family would also like the prospective buyers to understand that it is a hassle to accept a deposit, cancel this ad and then not have the sale go through, so please understand that the two vehicles are subject to 1st come, 1st served. That said, and after all is said and done, I can add that hopefully a little dickering between parties will make this a pleasant transaction; Feel free to contact me with questions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
” Up for auction is a solid start to a cool Rat rod! The project begins with a 1949 Willys pick-up cab w/attached short box mounted on a modified Model A chassis. The chassis has been Zd 4″ in front and 6″ in the rear and the cab has been dropped 6″ and 2″ has been removed from the bottoms of the doors and cowl. The front axle has split wishbone radius rods w/drop mounted spring perches and the original Willys steering box is already mounted. The rear is set up with new tubular radius rods w/brackets for 12″ coil-overs and has a 10 bolt Chevy rear-end. The cab has a full perimeter brace installed and both doors open and close correctly. Please keep in mind that this is a project, but it is also a great opportunity to start with a solid rolling chassis.”
there appears to be some value in parts.
“Last chance on this old Jeep FC150 before it heads to the scrap yard, this is a BIG project that I have been holding onto for sometime now but I’m parting ways with the old jeep habit and cleaning up shop. NO TITLE, does not run but motor is not locked up, tires hold air and it does roll fairly easily to load onto a trailer. Major rust issues between the body and the roof line, no rear window. This has a hydraulic dump bed on it but have never tested the pump but the bed does move up and down. These are very hard to find and this would be a nice project but again…it will require a ton of work. If interested, best bet is to come and look at it in person as I will not be sending any additional pictures. It’s rough and if you think you may want it just send me an email with your contact info and I’ll get back to you so you can come and look it over. If it’s not sold by next week, unfortunately it will be heading to the scrap yard but I thought someone may want to give it a home before it heads to it’s grave never to be seen again.”
