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

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

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.

This looks to be an old FC Fire Jeep. There doesn’t appear to be any fire equipment with it.

This looks like a good price, though the body appears rough. The Magic Valley is an area a couple hours south of Boise.

“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”
