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 .
Here’s a scam I didn’t know about. The ad was pretty convincing, because the ad title “Old jeep army navy usmc” was so poorly written in terms of keywords. The seller acts as if they don’t really know what they have.
Honestly, I thought I’d scored big. However, I had enough sense to email Josh and he deflated my bubble gently. Oh well, I’ll keep searching . . .
There’s a discussion about this at G503: http://g503.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=334790
Bob just posted Paul Berry’s keynote speech from the 2014 Spring Midwest Willys Reunion. For those that don’t know, Paul Berry operates Willys America. The presentation lasts fifty minutes and covers some of the lesser known Willys/Jeep service vehicles.
Tim forwarded this ad for help. The owner doesn’t know what type of truck it is. He notes the cab is a convertible and the quality of work is good, so good it looks factory. I think it’s likely a 1960s truck that’s been modified. The rear window is small, but not shaped like early trucks.
“Any jeep/willys experts out there?
Im trying to figure out what this barn find is? I’ve searched around some web sites with no luck.
It has the small rear window like an early willys, but a 1 piece windshield like a later one.
It also has a convertible roof that appears factory, but I can’t find any info on it.
If you can help, please give me a call or send me a text
Thanks for your help.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
As late as 1957 they were still using/moving MBs.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
Family owned since new. It doesn’t run. Not 100% original, but is worth a look.
“Original body and parts. Has tow bar and 285 lb steel weight front bumper. In same family since first bought. Currently not running so will need some work, but it’s a classic. 2500 OBO”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
It doesn’t run and looks pretty rough.
“I have a 48 willys jeep it has some kind of Gm 6 cylinder in it. Had it running last year but can’t seem to get it going this year. Needs some work for it to be safe to drive around on the streets. It is in pretty good shape for as old as it is. Don’t really wanna get rid of it but don’t have the money to fix it up.”
It’s a project.
“1947 willys project. All parts there except windshield. Frame and running gear in good shape runs great and 4wd works good. Has rancho lift. Comes with 2 tubs both need some work. One just needs the floors patched outside is fairly decent. Have rear body corners and rocker panels. Roll bar and seats. Would make a nice jeep with a little time. $1900 or trade for ford highboy or similar, atv, dirt bike. Let me know what you have.”
