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 .

(03/01/2013) This doesn’t run at the moment, but it could be a minor issue.
“I am looking to sell our 1943 WWII Army Jeep. Before we owned it, it belonged to my Grandfather. He was a Captain in the US Army during WWII, and in later years purchased the same year military jeep that he used during the war, and had it restored. It was in good running condition up until the time he passed away. We have owned it now for 5 years. It is not running at this time, but I believe that it is from sitting the past few years. It has been garage kept. We also have the original manuals for the jeep. This has been a very hard decision for us to make, so ONLY SERIOUS INQUIRIES will be considered.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5900
(03/02/2013) This looks like a fun rig. The grille looks installed at a slight angle.

Here’s another nice looking restoration, but it has a GPW body (or at least tool lids).
“1944 Willys MB. Body off restoration about 10 years ago. Original body and chassis. Excellent condition, tow dolly included.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** This likely sold. Was $8500
It has some MB and GPW parts.

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was priced at $6500
(06/09/2013) This appears in good shape for the price. It’s script with the squared gas tank.
“This jeep was restored from the frame up. Runs Great. Body has no dings or scratches & tires are 95%. Lots of extra parts to include new windshield frame, grill, extra bearings for transmission and transfer case. $6500.00 OBO

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5900
(07/19/2012) The dash is certainly unusual. I guess it is good this wasn’t a Ford GPW, or the gauges would have been arranged in an F.
“’43 Willys Jeep with Chevy 350, SM420 granny low tranny, Spring over on 35’s, ’75 CJ5 frame and axles. This thing really turns heads and is a blast to drive around. Cash only.”
