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 .
This looks to be a post 1956 CJ-3B given the large speedometer.

It’s dirty, but I can’t tell if there’s much rust or not.

I found this image at the halfcenturyofprogress blog. I thought it was a cool pic. It wouldn’t surprise me if someone knew who this was ….
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200.
A reader named Rich spotted this ad and checked it out. He reports that he went to look at it and learned that the floor is pretty badly rusted, but drive train, engine, dash plaque, verify a V-35/U that might be rescued. This is a very rare find. Thanks Rich!
“1949 or 1950 not exactly sure it is titled as a 1949 but believe it may be a 1950 it is a miilitary issue jeep issued to the usmc and navy it’s a v-35/u the motor is original i know that and the frame is in good condition as well it was used for hunting. e-mail if you have any questions thanks.”
Mike is looking for a f-head distributer for a 1963 f-head motor. He doesn’t want the new type. 12 volt points. Email him at mikester51@comcast.net for more info.
UPDATE: Status Unknown
(06/04/2010) DKW Mungas were sold in the USA by Studebaker, along with Mercedes-Benz. Here are a variety of images of the Munga. Munga is the German Acronym for “Multi purpose Universal Cross-country Car with All-wheel drive”.
“1958 DKW Auto Union Audi Jeep 3=6 Munga Gelandewagen 3cyl 2 stroke FWD/4X4. VIN 68602889. Miles 24,579. NATO Peacekeeping Jeep. FWD 4X4 3cyl/ 2 Stroke. This rare piece of post war history is a DKW / Auto Union Military jeep which was later used in civilian production. This car came to Seattle in 1982 from Palo Alto, California where it had lived for decades. It was driven regularly in the 80’s and sold with a DKW collection and put in dry storage until now. It is believed complete and also has many spares including a good crankshaft, which is an important item on this car. We have taken many parts out of the car to show condition of the body, but we will load it for the purchaser and carefully package it. As you can see the car is partialy disasembeld and it does not run.
The Auto Union was the collaboration of DKW, Audi, Wanderer and Horch
These vehicles are extremely nimble, and will climb a very high grade. They rev like crazy, and are a hoot to drive. Front wheel drive to four wheel drive on the fly, they are nearly impossible to get stuck in. 3 cylinder two stroke with only seven moving parts in the engine, there are strong parts clubs overseas and in the U.S. These are a fabulous conversation piece, and can be used instead of a golf cart at a car show or auction site. Very collectible and priced to sell. Nice restoration project. There are several owners clubs in the world and parts are accessable.”
UPDATE: Javier purchased this and plans to restore it.
It might not be all original, but it appears mostly original.
“1943 WWII era Ford Jeep. This vehicle is all original and was running great when parked about five years ago. This is an all original military jeep and will make a great addition for a collector, or a good deer lease buggy. Need to sell this weekend. $2500 OBO.”
Here’s a rare GTB, though it looks odd without the bed. Ok, ok, it looks odd even when it has the bed!
“
1943 Ford GTB 4X4 Navy cargo truck, known as the “Burma Jeep”, no bed, needs restoration, runs good, $2000.”

This appears solid as best as I can tell.
“1942 Ford Jeep GPW. Classic. Recently rebuilt engine. Body is good and sound. Engine runs good. More pictues availabe upon request. Make an offer.”
