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 seller listed this for sale back in 2008 for $5k.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
(08/03/2010) I’ve seen more wood slatted hoods in Montana then anywhere else! This appears in good shape.
“New Met Bronze paint, black vinyl seats & back seat. Roll bar, 1/2 top. Rebuilt original 4 cyl.; New brakes. Mickey Thompson 31×10.50-15’s. Trail tested, ready to roll. ”
Status Unknown. Was $1400.
“Anyone have interst in a 1947 CJ2A (serial #129382) with Jeep-a-Trench option. Unit is complete but chains are all locked up due to rust. Pictured is the well pulling attachment on the front of the jeep. That has been removed and is not included in the sale. The rest of the jeep is mostly complete including the following options: pto controler, shaft, rear gear box, 90 degree gear box (minus the drum), top bows, ag weight, and governor (minus the governor handle). The engine is siezed but has no noticable cracks. Jeep does not have a title. The body is ruff but not a complete basket case. Jeep rolls easily but the steering column is frozen. The wheels still turn side to side by hand so loading on trailer will not be a problem.”
This looks like a good price.
“47 jeep willys truck, 305 small block in it, TH400 tranny, 4:11 gears. Engine runs good, will need some TLC but overall shes pretty solid. Hate to get rid of her, but, need to thin out the herd. ”

Probably a simple fix regarding the alternator issue.
“This jeep runs and drives great but not holding charge, i think that it may need a new battery also needs new brake lines. I have new top and doors for the jeep, and lots more. CALL MIKE AT 1757-695-0383.”
http://easternshore.craigslist.org/cto/1877147070.html
This looks solid.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
(06/14/2010) This looks like a nicely done upgrade. That’s a lot of power for that undersized frame.
“I have a 1945 Ford GPW, V8 conversion, Chevy 350 bored .030 over, 4-speed trans, lockers front and rear, all new wiring. ”
This seems like a good price to me.
“This jeep was reconditioned in the late ’90. For the past two or three years it has been parked in my barn. As a result of not being run the fuel pump has stopped working. With a $30 rebuild kit and a complete cleaning of the fuel system this jeep will run fine. It has been used primarily as a show vehicle being displayed in various parades and events. It is in excellent condition and would make a fine addition to someones militaria collection. The markins are from the Korean War era and the unit was reconditioned to represent this period.”

UPDATE: *SOLD** Was $4850.
The ‘cammo’ paint job looks like one of a kind …

UPDATE: This is now on eBay. Though there are now more pics, none of the pics show the rear.
(07/25/2010) None of the pictures shows the rear. The passenger side rear appears to show some damage/rust at the edge of the picture.
“Attention collector’s, Willys fans, or farmers…runs great! Use 2WD or 4WD. Body has some rust on floor. Side steps and floormats included. Spare tire mount damage but can be straightened. Windshield intact and works, wipers, hood, headlights, seats, seat belts, etc. all good. No top.”

This might be a good deal.
“All 4 cylender 3 speeds; 1 1957 rebuilt motor low miles has winch; 2 1960 1 with snow plow all complete and need minor work parts or restore 1600 for all.”
This looks quite nice.
“This Willys is in great shape! It needs some minor work, but runs good. The body is super solid. There are a couple of nicks in the paint, but nothing major. We’ve kept it in the garage, and have only driven it to a few car shows around town. The previous owner rebuilt, and painted it before he passed away. He took great care of this beauty, and entered many car shows with it. His son put it up for sale and we bought it.
Before that, we know nothing about the vehicle. We have owned this vehicle for about 3 years. This vehicle was rebuilt by the previous owner with these added features: 3.8 Buick V6, 350 Turbo Automatic Transmission, B&M Floor Shifter, custom built interior, black carpeting inside cargo area, Pioneer Stereo, bright yellow paint.”
UPDATE: This sold on ebay for $23k
(04/14/2010) This is an UNRESTORED MB in excellent condition.
Quoting Josh, “I think this is a truly rare opportunity to buy probably the nicest unrestored mb in private hands. I’ve known the owner for a number of years now. I can attest to the fact that he only settles for the nicest/correct original parts and knows what is period correct. A true collector, preservationist, and expert. As far as original goes this jeep is the real deal, top of the line, and something that doesn’t come up for sale. Whoever ends up with this will jeep not be disappointed.”
The seller writes, “For Sale WWII JEEP: original unrestored complete 1944 Willys MB, in running & driving condition, clear PA title, 5 Goodyear tires, ORIGINAL summer canvas top, windshield cover, half doors, ORD tire pump, hand crank, grease gun, first aid kit, oil can, TM 9-803 manual, fold lube chart, and an extra fuel sump ….are all included.

“This is my grandpa’s jeep. He has been collecting jeeps since before i was born and has finally begun to sell them. He used to drive our towns old war veterans around the square in the parade with his jeeps, and that is about the only time he ever took them out of storage.
Its in good condition, and starts up on the first try or two. The fiberglass antenna is cracked and broken toward the top, and the millage is vard to read due to the numbers cracking and falling off. It does not have a title. We took the make shift top off this jeep, but i dont have the pics of it without the top. It looks much better without it though.”
