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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
I can’t tell if this runs or not.

Greg spotted this old Burma up for auction in Denver. There’s something about the placement of the headlights that makes me think these vehicles appear hunched over in some way, ready to bear their load.
“1943 Ford Burma Jeep. Unrestored as shown. Stored at least 10 years, either driveline or engine, or both siezed or locked up from non-use, so expect motor and driveline restoration is also needed. Does not run or drive. Rust on stake bed areas, as shown.
“US Navy” marked on the engine cover data plate, Also visible is “149958” which is the title VIN number, and other number appears to be “90148”, but not guaranteed. Other data plates are nearly illegible, sorry.
Sold with title, SALVAGE Colorado Title. Vehicle was used off road on a mountain property for many years, and was not driven the last several years. It was easier to replace a long lost title as a salvage vehicle, otherwise the vehicle would have had to be brought into running/driving condition and submitted for inspections, etc. So for now the vehicle is not intended for registered highway use in Colorado, until the new owner brings it into running/driving condition, meets any other guidelines necessary, and applies for previously salvage title. Please check with your local authorities if you intend to restore and/or make road worthy for public roads, or if any inspections or other procedures would be required.”
A reader named Bob was vacationing in Thailand when he spotted this pair of nicely restored MBs (one is a slat grille). An intrepid reporter, Bob captured the jeeps on video (download the video here — 11MB) which shows closeups of both jeeps and with a still image (seen below). He also talked briefly with the owner, Pete, who has two blotspot websites devoted to his Jeeps (the 1941 slat grille MB & the 1944 MB & Video of both Jeeps by Pete). Thanks for sharing Bob!
Bob filed this report, “I just came across these MB’s on the side of the road, as I was touring the island on a motorbike. I’m sorry I don’t have much info about Pete. I met him in the small bar across the street ( see in video with balloons across the front ) and we talked a little about the Jeeps. Pete emigrated to Thailand from the UK. He’s a really nice guy with a Thai wife and some kids. He claims you cannot import any of these Jeeps to Thailand anymore. I’m not sure if it is because of the Left Hand Drive or not. He said they are very valuable there too – worth over 1,000,000 Baht each ($31000 USD).”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
“1962 Jeep FC-170. This is a bone stock truck with the exception of the wheels and tires. Has had alot of work done to bring it back from the dead, runs and drives as well as an old jeep would. 226 Super Hurricane flathead 6 engine, T90 3 speed trans, T18 Transfer case. Since owning this I have cleaned and flushed the fuel system, rebuilt carb, rebuilt the rear brakes with all new parts, including new model backing plates to be able to move the E-brake to the wheels instead of the drum behind the transfer case. Brake is still on transfer case, this was done for later powertrain upgrade. Read diff has had the posi unit rebuilt with OEM clutches, and new axle bearings. Front wheel cylinders are replaced and a new master cylinder. New water pump and clutch. I hate to let this go, I was looking forward to putting in a modern powertain and having a completely unique truck to use, but priorities have changed.”
This hasn’t run in 10 years. How about that paint job! The rims looks unusual, too.

The Utah Bureau spotted this interesting find. It appears the seller has had to drop the price from the original $4500. It looks like it sports an aftermarket dash. The seller indicates it has been driven little and there’s some ‘project’ involved, however it sure looks good on the outside! It also has on overdrive.
“Rock Crawler – ’54 military jeep with V8 conversion. 307 Chevy with 327 steel crank and forged flat pistons, 487 heads. Warn all range over-drive, 538 gears, dual Flow Master exhaust.

The seller believes this to be a rare Maverick Wagon. I couldn’t say for sure, maybe someone else can?
“1960 Willys 2 wheel Drive/with Overdive All orginal stock. Has been stripped to bear metal and Primed ready for paint. Daily driver, spair engine, New tires, Extra Glass. Ready to restor or customise. more photos available. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
No pics of the other 2 Jeeps.
“1954 Willys Jeep CJ runs good. I have two more jeeps to go with that can be used for parts.”
I think those are doors on the hood rather than a hood mod. The jeep looks good.
“must sell! runs perfect. all restored. new top and doors. 3 speed. worth 15000. other info or details call or text at 701-238-7735 thanks ”
