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 .
Bob has a M-38 with the original 24 volt system that isn’t running. He lives in Chicago and is having a difficult time finding anyone who knows about jeeps and can handle a 24 volt system. Does anyone know of a mechanic in the Chicago area? Comment below and I’ll make sure Bob gets the information.

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was on eBay.
The bidding for this has already reached $18,000. This is an extremely detailed restoration.
“1955 Willys Military M-170 Military Jeep up for auction. This Willys has gone through an extensive, nut and bolt, frame-off, total restoration.
Willys produced just over 4000 of these Jeeps for the military, making it one of the rarest Jeeps ever produced, the civilian version (the CJ-6) was offered to the public a few years later.
No expense was spared to bring this Jeep to the condition you see here today. The Jeep was taken down to the frame, the engine,transmission,axles,brakes,electrial systems and interior are NEW.
Please look at the many photos and notice the attention to detail, and the completeness of this museum quality restoration, this Jeep is NEW, NOS, COMPLETE, and BEAUTIFUL.
All M-170 components are present and correct, which is crucial, as many parts are specific to this vehicle ONLY.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $950.
This seller appears to deal in a variety of jeeps and parts.
“It is rough but appears to still be all there. Has the originall Super Hurricane motor and manual tranmission. Jeep has not been run in 10 or more years. Previous owner did say he put some oil down the cylinders before it was left siotting. Still will probably need some time patience to get it to free up. Feels like the motor is not turning over. till has the original 16″ wheels. Might even be the original tires as cracked and weathered as they are. Would have been a real nice set of old school snow tires if they were not so weathered.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800
Not sure there is a whole lot of value here.
“Military Jeep that needs full restoration and is not running or driveable. Non original engine. Has a winch.”

(05/29/2012) The seller has been slowly restoring this. Look solid, though it isn’t a perfect restoration which the seller notes.
“1945 Willys MB. Original WWII Jeep. Painted a year and a half ago in the correct shade of OD green. Body is straight and is a real head turner. Original motor is rebuilt with less than 30 miles on it. Runs perfect, starts instantly. 12V conversion. Has wrangler seats. Was converted into a civilian jeep years ago and I have been in the process of putting it all back. Really cool jeep. Tires are 7.50x16s with correct 16″ military wheels. Keep in mind this is NOT a perfect restoration. I never intended it to be, but it is a really cool Jeep.
What I am looking for is a muscle car or hot rod to trade for. When I say muscle car, I mean pre-1972 and a V8. I value the Jeep at around $7500 so let me know what you have.L”
The two All American Wonder books go for around $38 a piece by themselves.
“Getting out of the WW2 hobby and have a collection of jeep books (most deal with WW2 jeeps) that I used to restore my 1945 Ford GPW jeep. If your already a jeep enthusiast, or contemplating perhaps getting into the hobby, this would be a great set of books for you.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $51.
Here’s a pretty good price on a Baier Lighter.
“This is a Vintage aluminum Jeep Willy cigarette lighter incised Baier on the front and Ges Gesch beneath and manufactured in Germany. In heavy cast aluminum, this unique WWII lighter measure 2 3/4″ long, 1 1/2″ high and 1 5/8″ wide. The lighter is in good condition with 4 rubber tread tires that spin and the rubber is appears unused. There are very small/short, shallow cracks radiating from the hubs on the front tires and on the spare.
The aluminum is a heavy guage and is in good condition for its age with some scratching, a few knicks and minimal tarnishing. The lighter does need some cleaning however I’ve left it untouched. The bottom panel slides out to reveal a clean compartment holding cotton material and allowing acces to the wick and filling with fluid.
In the actual lighter cavity on top of the lighter you will find a relatively clean compartment. The flip lid on this compartment operates easily. I have not tested the lighter and cannot speak to its usability.
This lighter was owned by only one gentleman, a WWII vet who acquired it while stationed in Germany.
These lighters were manufactured during WWII. The lighter is a 1948 design by Walter Baier who also patented. These lighters were meant as souvenirs for soldiers stationed primarily in Germany. It was designed to commemorate the Berlin airlift/blockade.”
Here’s an odd looking top. The caption from eBay suggests it is a homemade. The jeep appears to be a MB/GPW. The photo is for sale.
