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 $2500. turns out this was an 1942 GPW.
Includes a Capstan winch. Thanks to David for sending this one. The grille is likely from a DJ-3A.

“1944 Willys MB military jeep. Not running it’s been sitting since 1979. It has a Studebaker flathead 6cyl in it from a early vintage engine swap. All other running gear is stock. The body is in okay shape for it’s age, the floor boards are pretty good but the two rear tool box bottoms are rusted out. The engine may be good, it does turn over by hand and by jumping the starter. The parts that I know are missing are the Radiator, window glass, headlights, taillights, rear driveshaft and seats. That’s all I know about this jeep, I have never heard it run or worked on it. Bought it last year and decided on another project that has more leg room. My loss your gain. It has no title I will give you a notarized bill of sale. Asking $950. Firm.”
This is a British contract jeep and was remanufactured by Allison, so who knows what parts were substituted during that process. Looks like an interesting pone.

“1942 Willys BRT MB Jeep – DOD 3/17/42 – MB128189 (BRT – British Contract Jeep)
Made appox two weeks after the last Slat Grill, this jeep has many slat grill features. It went through a rebuild program by Allison Steel in Phoenix Arizona in Feb, 1945 based on the rebuild tag attached to the dash. They used all sort of parts. A slat grill tub, with lots of Ford parts and pieces too. The DOD (3/17/42) would indicate it was a pressed grill jeep with a glove box. A fairly rare & early jeep.
There are no Ford stampings on the frame, so it’s definitely a Willys. The frame data plate is missing up front; however, there is still a rivet (which can be felt from behind) where the frame plate once was. There is some rust and bubba modifications where plates were welded to the floor, a tail gate was installed, etc. but the data plates are original.
The grill is the early type with no indentation on top. It has a Ford transmission with right side drain plug. Passenger side fender and passenger seat are F marked as well. Driver seat is a slat based on the split at top. Axles appear to be the early type. Rubber hood blocks, all 4 combat rims (although rusted and not for use). It also comes with three (3) older NDT Cooper tires which are not mounted. Four inner tubes are included and all go with the jeep. Engine is a CJ and most likely seized.
Additional photos upon request.
I don’t want to part it out, so it’s being sold as-is. There is no title, but will come with a bill of sale. The jeep rolls so could be easily put on a trailer.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(05/15/2023) Could be worth a look. It has a variety of mods.

“1942 Willys Jeep. Rebuilt 302 motor with under 400 miles on it. Good tires, full soft top, brand new Summit racing steering column”
This one looks like a beloved jeep. This is listed as a 1946, but it’s a modified MB with a custom top and suicide doors.

“Anyone have some land and trails to run on and hunt. 1946 Willy’s Jeep. Runs good. It needs some brake work. The wheel/ brake cylinders are sticky. It does have rust and some holes in places but the vehicle is 77 years old. lol, It’s dependable. It is what you will make of it. We love this old Jeep and had a lot of fun in it but just don’t have the storage anymore. The transmission is a three-speed with twin sticks for four-wheel drive, two-wheel drive, high and low range.. We have a separate engine block and parts on a crate for another motor that was given to us by a friend years ago but we never used it or had a need for it. Make an offer. 5000 obo. Will sell the Jeep and engine together or separately.”
This was supposedly running last year.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,999.
This might be a good price. No description provided.
This may be a 1944 MB chassis with a CJ-3B body and other mods. It appears the VIN (MB196499) is consistent with being an MB.
