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 listed at $1500.
“1942 Willys MB
It was a great jeep but the motor crank cracked and now she sits. I had a mechanic take the motor out to rebuild but it never was finished.
Great little project. All the parts are there to rebuild the motor minus a new crank. It would be great for parts or to rebuild.
It can be towed away as is or i can deliver.”
UPDATE: Was $3995. **SOLD**
The steps look like they are longer than they should be.
“Jeep runs and drives but needs work to be streetable, was used for off road only. Solid body, has great potential for restoration. Presumed to be an amphibian at one point but has been changed over from a 24 volt to 12 volt system. Jeep has a clear title. Per previous owner…Willys VIN #’s were traced to San Diego being owned by an military officer and use in the Korean war. For more information please see contact information below.”
Unclear how much is value is here.

Our normal three hour drive on Saturday from Pasco to Seattle took seven; in an attempt to avoid snow on Snoqualmie Pass we ran right into it on Sutan Pass. The modern Ford Mustang, not know for its snow handling and sporting the wrong tires, was all kinds of fun inching over snowy, icey and remote Sutan Pass. Wby did we taken Sutan Pass (which turns out to also be higher than Snoqualmie)? Because my wife thought I knew the pass was there, even though I said I’d never driven over state highway 97 through Goldendale (we were heading south to I-84).
As I carefully steered up the pass, hoping not to slow down and lose traction, I asked why she thought this route was a good idea. She said she thought I had scoped out the pass. I said I had told her I didn’t know there was a pass at all! Well, this back and forth conversation lasted until we crested the pass and slid/drove our way down the other side.
Despite her cool exterior and her positive confirmation of my driving skills, she was very busy snapping pictures with her phone and posting on Facebook pictures of the snowy road with comments like “we are gonna die” and “if we don’t make it, we love you all”. She does have a sense of humor 
So, after our long drive, we crashed in bed and have slept the night away. Updates later.

Bob’s down in Spanish Fort, Alabama, to photograph the Godaddy.com Bowl on Sunday when Kent State battles Arkansas State. Of all the events at that bowl, I’m thinking the coaches wives got the best gig: lunch at Wintzell’s Oyster House (a good place to eat if Yelp is to be believed). Uh oh, now I’m hungry. Anyway, while down there, Bob spotted this poor old truck at Felix’s Fish Camp (another good place to eat). It appears rooted permanently to the beach. Of course, he thought of us ….
About the truck Bob says, “I looked under the hood and the truck still had the straight 6. Frame was almost rusted in half and the top was gone on the truck. Pretty cool though!’
Dave saw yesterday’s post and promptly emailed this great photo of a welder enable MB.
