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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,500
(01/21/2010) Just a mod or two on this Willys Rod.
“454/400 turbo trans, chop top, mustang 2 ifs, 8″ ford rear. $19,500.00 or best offer will take part trade.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800
(04/16/2010) This has a passenger side MB fender. I wonder what else is MB.
“I have a rebuilt 1950 willys cj3a jeep for sale it has a rebuilt original motor, rebuilt 3 speed transmission assy, rebuilt transfer case, body is straight, comes with soft top and hard top, no rust”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(08/03/2010) This would make a fun restore if the old panel art work could be saved. Maritime Hardware.
“I PURCHASED TWO 1956 WILLYS PANEL DELIVERY TRUCKS FROM A PRIVATE OWNER IN NEW JERSEY, BOTH VEHICLES CAME OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE ONE AFTER THE OTHER ONLY 786 WERE MADE. I AM DOING A FRAME UP TOTAL RESTORATION ON ONE, AND I AM SELLING THE OTHER ONE, THESE VEHICLES ARE EXTREMELY RARE IN THIS CONDITION, YES THERE IS SOME LOWER BODY RUST, BUT THE MAIN BODY, THE FRAME, ORIGINAL MOTOR (SUPER HURRICAINE 6 CYLINDER) DRIVE TRANE, AND TRANSMISSION ARE COMPLEATLY INTACT. ALL INTERIOR GUAGES ARE ORIGINAL AND ARE IN GREAT SHAPE, THERE IS ONE DOUBLE SEAT (DRIVERS SIDE) THE RUST IS CONTAINED ONLY TO THE WHEEL WELLS, AND MOSTLY THE LOWER PARTS OF THE TRUCK, BUT THE PARTS TO FIX ARE EASILY AVAILABLE AS I HAVE REPLACED THEM ON THE OTHER VEHICLE ALREADY, THE FRAME IS PERFECT, NO RUST. YOU CAN SEE MY VEHICLE DURING ITS CURRENT RESTORATION BECAUSE BOTH VEHICLES ARE AT THE SAME GARAGE. CLEAR TITLE AND VIN GO ALONG WITH IT”
I was looking up something for a reader when I stumbled upon these two webpages. One page documents some of the differences between very early MBs and later ones. The second page provides detail pics of a British Airborne Slatgrille in Signal Configuration. I thought both pages have nice detail pics and explanations.
The British Airborne Slat Grille in Signal Configuration:
The Early MB Differences Page:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2750.
The body appears to be a MB body.
“1942 Willys Jeep. It was bought as a project car and I have put many hours into it. It is getting very close to being done but I know longer have the time and more so I am moving to Nevada this weekend and I can’t take it with me. I have the original bumper and windshield as well as over $1500 in new and used parts that will go along with it. I also have a soft top for it. Please contact me ASAP if you are at all interested.”
I can’t tell if these are $2500/piece or both for $2500.
“i have two 1946 willys jeeps i want to sell both of them for $2500 if you are interested call me at 916-371-122”
It sure looks like a project.
“CJ2A project. Body is very good condition for one this age. minor dings but needs a section under the tool box replaced. Has 15″ wheels on rolling frame but have 16″ on old tires for it. Very good grille, hood, windshield, fenders, and tailgate. Have an engine but it needs to be rebuilt. Frame has a transmission and transfer case already on it. No seats. Don’t have a title but have paper work for one after its rebuilt. Title was destroyed and the guy I got it from got all the paper work and went to WSP who told him it just needs to be inspected before a title can be issued. Other than seats have most everything needed to put it together. Radiator should be checked but is there. Might consider something interesting in trade. I like gas station items or could use landscaping and not just the labor. I have a pathway and retaining wall that need to be made.”

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.”
