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: This has been available for a couple years.

“1942 Willy’s MB modified for off-roading. Lots of aftermarket and swapped parts added on, a ton of fun even just to drive on the street. The motor is a Ford 289 (might be a High Output but not sure) from a 60s Mustang with a mild cam, mated to a 4 speed T18 trans. Dana 44 in the rear, Dana 20 up front with a Dana 18 transfer case. It is running on open headers at the moment, but I have the mufflers if you want them. The car sat for a handful of years, but I have completed a lot of maintenance work and she runs and drives very strong:
I don’t understand the price given this hasn’t been started in five years.

“I’m selling my 1960 CJ3B Willy’s. The vehicle is in excellent shape for the year and the odometer reads: 46,000 mi. Had a hell of a good time in Pismo 5 years ago, then it was parked and hasn’t been started since. Body is straight and true, except the hood. The hood has a crack on the surface and will need to be refinished. Otherwise, it’s a great vehicle and with a little TLC, you could have a great and collectible Willy’s.”
This video focuses on Lord Mountbatten and a visit to see troops (in India or Burma?). there are several clips of him traveling by jeep.
This closeup of the windshield appears at the 1:23 Mark.
“A jeep drives across bridge and into an army camp. Lord Louis Mountbatten inspecting troops lined up in the open – British and Indian, some black men seen. Lord Mountbatten addressing the gathered troops. Various shots of Lord Mountbatten walking around the camp talking to the men. A man on stretcher is carried towards a plane.”
This has a variety of mods.

“1945 Willys Jeep – This jeep has been in the family since 1969 and is ready for its next owner. This jeep has been garage kept and rebuilt many times over the years. Here is how it sits today.
1945 body
1952 frame (more heavy duty than the 1945 frame)
Chevy 350 (out of ’72 Camaro I believe) only a few thousand miles on it since rebuild
Edelbrock carb
Edelbrock intake manifold
HEI distributor
Custom headers
B&M hydromatic 4 speed transmission (slant pan), automatic that can shift like a stick but with no clutch
UPDATE: ****SOLD**** Was $3500.
(07/29/2020) It doesn’t appear this has been used.
“This is a somewhat slightly stretched imitation of a CJ3-A body in stainless steel. I say CJ3A because it is flat fender and low flat hood with a one piece windshield, but no vent. I looks to me like it would fit best on a CJ-7 frame.
There is NO title of any kind, there is no VIN, never has been.
There is a tub with half doors, fenders, hood, windshield frame, door handles, a “for looks only” roll bar, rear bumper things, all stainless steel, and black vinyl top with hardware. The grill in the picture is a normal CJ2-A grill and in very good shape, but not stainless steel. There is a stainless steel grill but it is an insult to jeep and whoever made the rest of the body components.
I talked with a man that told me a Texas company imported, from the Philippines, nine of these bodies sometime around 2010 and used three of them , for what he had no idea. He bought the remaining six. He resold them, He thinks that this is one of the six he resold.
The dimensions in the drawing are as close as I can get.
Ask any questions.
I am not moving very far from the listed price.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
Has updates.
Video of it running:

The seller indicates this is a former fire brush or pumper jeep.
“1964 CJ6 Starts, Drives, stops. Practically rust free. Govt nomenclature tag, and former fire pumper. Includes, winch, and new Walcks front bumper and rivets. All sheet metal and bolts included. New exhaust manifold and exhaust system replaced.

Someone added some M*A*S*H references to this otherwise stock M-38.
