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 28-page booklet is divided up into several sections including, Comfort, Style & Beauty, Safety, Convenience, and Maintenance.

“NOT A CHEVY AVALANCHE!!FACEBOOK BLOWS! I am posting for an older friend a 53 Willys Jeep with the stock 4 cylinder engine. It does not have a current title. He has extra wheels, tires, fiberglass tub, and and so many other parts (transmission, transfer case) I can’t list them all. He would love to rebuild and retitle it, but simply does not have the time. If you are interested, please feel free to message me. He is hoping to get $3500 for everything. He can even throw in a running Chevy 305 engine for an extra $500”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/13/2019) I understand that as a seller answering questions can get tiring, but if a buyer isn’t asking questions about a jeep/price like this, then how are they supposed to know whether to see it in person or not?

Shane’s on the left and Mr. eWillys is on the right of the pic.
My cousin and I took a break from painting, hanging ceiling lights, cleaning up her yard and more (oh so much more) to visit Shane just north of Richmond, Virginia, yesterday. He is a long-time reader who jeeped using 80s/90s jeeps, before jumping into the vintage market with a relatively cheap CJ-3A. He told us how surprised he was at how much he enjoyed driving the old rig. Unfortunately, the jeep was later stolen, but by then he was hooked. So, a little while later he bought his second vintage jeep, a 1942 GPW.
What appeared to be a GPW in good condition turned out to be a jeep with problems that Shane didn’t spot until he got it home (I think most of us can related to that at one time or another). At first Shane bought individual parts , but over time he started buying jeep projects from which he could get some parts. That led him to begin reselling MB and GPW parts.
Apart from the WWII jeeps, he’s acquired a CJ-6 project that he hopes to complete at some point. He also continues to look for WWII parts, including the following items (email him if you think he you have something he needs donovanshanemiller @ gmail.com … no spaces around the @):
Top bow body brackets Side grab handles Two reflectors(Corcoran Brown bezel, Grotelite No. 100 lens) Mirror and arm Stamped pintle Blackout light bulb assembly Axe head bottom bracket(4 hole) One windshield to hood block Oil can to firewall bracket Spare tire carrier and foot Skid plate
There were a couple of interesting tidbits that we learned from Shane. He explained that there are a lot of 1942 GPWs around the country, because a large number of them were shipped for early military training, while many of the Willys MBs went to North Africa. Anyone have further insights into this?
Additionally, we learned that there was a big auction of brand new, unissued surplus 1945 GPWs sold in 1946 out of Ohio by the military, so it isn’t uncommon to run across 1945s with 1946 titles and bills of sale in that region. Anyone else seen this pattern?
Thanks again to Shane for taking the time to show us his place. Here’s some photos of some of his jeeps:
