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 .
Looks like a good price for all of them.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
I just can’t imagine someone thought the mods to this were a good idea. However, there appears to be some parts value at the very least. It looks to have all three data plates.
“SOLID BODY NEEDS MOTOR. NO GLASS, GREAT JEEP FOR A RERSTORE. PLEASE SAVE THIS JEEP. MAY HAVE TITLE NOT SURE AT THIS TIME. ”
This looks like a good price based on the pics. And, if it runs, it’s a really good price.

This is worth a closer look. It has a nicely aged patina to it. As long as it runs and drives, I’m not sure I’d want to do much more to it.

The paint job is unusual and rust is evident, but it runs.

This has a variety of mods, but what surprised me most was seeing two tall gear shifts.

UPDATE: Was an in-person-auction.
Here’s a toy surrey jeep that includes the original box.

Not in the best shape, but cleaned up this could be a neat little toy.

Not sure there is much value here, but the bumper looks good.

Alex spotted an article about eMBs. The Electric MB is supposed to be made to order and cost 755.000 PhP, which is about $18,500. I did not see the electric jeep listed at MD Juan’s website, though I didn’t do an exhaustive search.
According to this excerpt from the article, “the [electric] Willy’s MB which will be powered by a 4-kilowatt, 48-volt electric motor deriving energy from eight units 6-volt batteries. Its manufacturer – MD Juan Enterprises – calls it the eMB.
The new model of the vintage MacArthur jeep, the latest product of MD Juan Enterprises and PhUV, Inc., made it debut last week at the Philippine Die and Mould Association exhibit at the World Trade Center. The body of the electric MB was made using locally-made dies and moulds and manufactured in MD Juan’s stamping plant.”
Here’s the official press release from MD Juan.
Sebastian spotted the cover of this 1975 Johnny Cash Album. That red jeep looks very similar to the one in the pictures from last month.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The price is a bit steep at $50, but this might an unusual look at WWII.
“LOVE, WAR, AND HATE
by Davis, Washington M.
Philadelphia: Dorrance & Company, (1976.)
First edition.
Fine first in fine dust jacket with illustration of black soldiers riding in jeep waving at a German girl.
Octavo. Black author not only relates battle stories, but also relates affair with German girl that resulted in her almost being murdered by white American soldiers. Shocking reading. 85pp., photographs.”
This is interesting. Has anyone seen the film ‘Making Dollars and Sense’ that accompanied this training manual (see bottom of page marked ‘opening remarks’)? There are several additional pages shown on eBay besides what I show below.
“original Part Color Catalog , 8.5 x 11 , 20 Pages , Slightly Soiled , 3 File Holes At Left Edge , Meeting Guide , #7 , “Willys Makes Dollars And Sense”.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1850.
This looks to be an old FC Fire Jeep. There doesn’t appear to be any fire equipment with it.
“1964 Willys/Kaiser Jeep FC 170 DRW 1 ton truck this is a one in a million find at a fair price. I have too many projects and no time or money to complete them. My loss is your gain! This is a very rare and difficult vehicle to find with a clear title. It is not running but is ready to restore. MUST SELL $1850.00 O/BO”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2100.
This looks like a good price, though the body appears rough. The Magic Valley is an area a couple hours south of Boise.

This appears solid and stock.
“I have for sale an all original 1956 Jeep Cj3b it is in very good condition for its age. It has never been restored and is all original. I have been collecting jeeps a long time and this is one of the closest to original jeeps I have ever seen. I have owned it over a year now and drive it about twice a week. It is currently tagged and insured. It is also one of the most well documented jeeps I have come accross It has all the receipts for everything ever purchased for maintnance on it. I also have the original invoice and title from 1956 where it was purchased new in atlanta for a little over 1700.00 You will not find a better jeep for a restoration as there is little to no rust. The engine and electrical is still all 6 volt. It runs very well and can be driven anywhere. Top speed is around 55-60 Mph. Tires are in good shape. Top and doors are also in good shape and have no rips or tears. Price is firm you can email me for any ?’s”

The body is rough. NADA books make good fire starters . . .
“1946 Willys CJ-2A. The first cj. Still has original 134L flat head four cylinder that runs excellent. 26,000 actual miles (on title as ‘actual miles’ as well). needs some restoration to be driven, but excellent project. has a clean title so you can drive this on the street. needs brakes and new tires to be driven. the original body has been patched numerous times and brand new bodies available to buy new licensed from mopar, with the original ‘willys’ logo for $2,500. restored per nada, it’s worth $20,000. $3,500 cash. 317-eight 62-9539. I can deliver this (you need to look at it first) for fuel and $60 trailer rental (i have truck) pretty much state-wide. I’ll do a video of it running and post it soon to youtube. Count on it being rougher looking in person.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was For Trade.
I think this has a fiberglass body.
“>I am looking to trade this Willys Jeep for anything worth $7000 such as a skidsteer, large John Deere Lawn mower, etc.”
No title, but looks pretty complete.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300.
Someone can probably make use of this.
“From the firewall back this is the body from a 1942 Ford GPW (jeep). Body only, missing almost all accessories and glovebox lid/cover (see photos). There is no bondo or patching work, the pan/floor has been replaced in the forward compartment. What you see is what you get. There are quite a few rust areas.”
