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 $1000.
No title. It’s a project or parts vehicle.

No location was provided for this engine.
“I have a MB Willys engine that was removed from a Hobart welder. I do not believe this was the engine that was in this welder originally due to the fact that it was mated to a partial Jeep bell housing to make the fit. The engine runs and still carried a load before being removed from the welder. By looking closely at area near distributor where these engines are prone to crack, I can see a professional repair was made at some time to the block (repair is barely visible and holds). Serial number behind oil filter is MB546645, casting number 638632. Boss behind water pump correct 1/2″x2″. Engine has 40-50 psi oil pressure when running and no knocks, or crank chuggle. Cold compression is 70-90 psi across the 4 cylinders, bumps up to 110-140 once the oil gets to them.”

I believe this document is pretty rare, given I’ve never seen another one. To help fund fund my jeep project I’ll be selling some of my brochures. This one is clean and in good shape. It came from Canada. It’s twenty-six pages. The models covered include the DJ-3A, CJ-3B, CJ-5, CJ-6, Wagon 4×4, L6-226, Wagon 4×4 F4-134, Delivery Wagon 4×4 F4-134, Truck 4×4 L6-226, Cargo Personnel Carrier, FC-150, and the FC-170. Each model is given two pages in a format similar to that shown below.
The January 1946 issue of Motor Magazine has an article about fixing the Army jeep.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Glenn spotted this one. Andy’s got this nice looking column shift for sale.
“NICE AND very RARE, 46′ cj-2a column shift Willys jeep serial #293xx. Nice overall condition, has been in barn storage for over 20 years.
What makes this unit more desirable is the fact that it is FACTORY built on a MB military chassis. Only a few hundred were built this way starting around serial number #29000.
Documented by a well known jeep expert, this is one of the batch of those hybrid jeeps. It is surmised that there was either a shortage of cj chassis or a bunch of leftover Military frames that needed to be used up…..not more then a handful surviving.!
Whatever the reason, this is not a homemade conversion….there are about 22 modifications done to the MB frame to make it useable for the cj2a. All brackets and mounts are custom made and factory installed. Even the machine gun mount was trimmed to fit the body.
Mostly all original with Minor civilian mods. 6v, Original chain drive engine, t90 side shift transmission.
Very rare full pto unit with drum pulley, original to the jeep. Has new bearings..
Data tags and frame tag are exceptionally nice and undamaged.
Clear title.
Has rust thru in the toolbox and some hat channels. Not a rust bucket by any means. Not all dented up.
Will need full restoration to bring it back to former glory. Had a quick cosmetic makeover done…
Don’t miss out on this super RARE column shift cj2a….not something you see everyday. It deserves a museum quality restoration.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,000.
No combat rims. Looks solid.
“1942 GPW Restored, rebuilt engine, brakes, transmission, transfer case, and new tires. Call to set up a time to view.”
Includes a single axle trailer. Nice shot of the jeep and the Borrego Springs jeep sculpture.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $5000.
(04/13/2016) The body’s been modified.
“It is a MB Willys it is not a cj or gpw it is the real deal here. It’s a hard to find jeep. It does run and drive. It is a navy jeep I can tell you that.”
