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 $10,000
According to the seller, this is restored except for the paint. No indication as to whether the numbers match or not.
“1945 Willieys Jeep MB; Restored in excellent condition. Just needs final paint. Runs and drives great; Original Gout manual and parts manual; 2 Sets of wheels; Tow barSiren; Blackout headlamps; Too cool!!!”
This runs. It might be good price. Maybe its my eyes, but there are a few details that suggest this needs a closer look (the mbish tow bar, the lack of holes for the front parking lights, and the gas inlet seems a little small), but maybe I’m just sleepy.

(02/25/2010) “I have a 1943 Willys Jeep and a 1946 Willys jeep for parts to go with it. Good title on the 1943 jeep. The ’43 runs but has a 1954 engine in it. Most parts you would need to make it right are on the ’46. $2000 firm.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11000
(07/16/2010) Pretty unusual. Something unusual has been done with the grille as well. The tines appear to shape outwords.

This may be good for parts.
“this 46 willy is very rough but has a lot of good parts.Last time running was about a year and half ago but ran very good,only reason not used is that father inlaw parked it because ether the transmission or rear end froze up.Will not take no less for it so don’t ask.Call me at 334-685-1741 for any more info.”

Lots of original, but not all original. The steps have been altered and there appears to have been some body work on the passenger side.

UPDATE: This appears to have sold. Was listed at $1000.
This might be a good price. It looks like the driver’s side is rusty or banged up.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“For your consideration a 1952 Willys M38a1 military jeep. Serial # 17543, dod. 9/52, making it an early example with the thumbscrew battery box lid, hinged front grill, rare original slanted seam front fenders, and the narrow early bumper undamaged.
Runs great, with no smoke or knocks. The engine is totally original with the 24 volt system and all waterproof accessories (distributor, carb, generator, regulator). Transmission and transfer case shift smoothly and quietly. Brakes are inoperative due to bad master cylinder.
Was a municipal vehicle used for off road search and rescue (seldom) It was well maintained and not abused, spent most of its time in storage. Has the original seats, cushions, rear seat, and 50’s dated tires. (pass seat not shown but included) Body has very minimal rust, surface rust mostly in a few spots, and a couple small dings. Frame and springs are excellent. Has all original dashboard and data plates. Windshield frame is very good shape also.
Would make an excellent easy restoration candidate, as it has not been modified in civilian hands. Never had a snowplow mounted. Never had locking hubs installed. Never been registered on the road. Has one of the best original condition body’s that I have seen”
This is another sounds-to-good-to-be-true, but I’ll post it anyway. Besides, that looks like they used the picture of a toy jeep.
