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 $500.
Looks like a good price on a parts jeep. The body doesn’t look bad (from a distance).
“rolling body and frame”
It runs, drives and has a plow. This might not be a bad price.
“Runs and drives and plow works and has a cheap winch. Body is not so hot. Has the artic frames for the canvas around the head lights. Part of the passengers side has been cut out and someone cut a hole and put a CJ type gas tank in it. Wrong windshield. But engine is military and runs as does the tranny.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The seller provides a very nice overview of the jeep.
“This is an extremely rare 1942 Slat Grill Jeep. Depending on where you look, different sources indicate that between 25 and 300 of these Jeeps are known to exist today.
The number plate on this Jeep shows that it is number 113424 (the 1’s are punched as I’s-see photo). This is the numbering for the Jeep, and does not indicate that 113,424 of these were made. Rather, the first 25,000 Jeeps ever made were Slat Grills, and the vast majority have been destroyed. I have had this Jeep for several years, and it has a clear California title. There are no registration issues since it has been registered non-operational so that no back fees accumulated while I stored it.
From what I can know and can tell:
I bought the jeep with an F-head motor and replaced it with the correct L-Head motor, but the motor is an aftermarket Kaiser Motor rather than a Willys. The motor which is in it is a Kaiser Supersonic, and since its rebuild 12 years ago, has been run for only a few hours. Unfortunately, I no longer have the rebuild receipt but it was rebuilt professionally…..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
This jeep has toyota running gear. It looks like a good conversion.
“Recently rebuilt and restored with all Toyota running gear. 22R 4cyl. 5 spd. trans., PS, PB, tow bar, full top with doors, new gauges, new gas tank.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
(11/23/09) I’m not sure what year we’ve got here. It’s nice enough, and restored, though not to original.
“For Sale 1942 Jeep Willys Flat Fender. Completly Restored 4sp. 4×4. $15,000”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
“This is a 1945 Jeep Willys MB (ID plate on the frame is: MB 435254), which means that this is a late-production MB with a date delivery around April 1945. The body has a few minor dents in the rear, the rest of the body is straight. Overall, it’s pretty solid. No rust, starts, runs and stops.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
(11/19/09) The driver’s indents are gone, but the lack of a gas inlet suggests they might be filled in or replaced. It’s got MB fenders, but I suspect the grille might be a CJ as is the windshield.
“I have a 45 willys for sale or trade. It has a 350 v8 munzi 4 speed dana 44 rear and 25 front. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
This might be a good price. The body looks in good condition from what I can tell.
“

New radiator core, 2-1/2″ lift springs, body is pretty strait .Good tires and wheels,Has steering column but not installed.I have original transfer case (doesn’t fit new trans) but nothing installed.4 point cage, no windshield frame or top.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
(06/18/09) This might be a MB body with a CJ-2A from clip.
“runs and drives needs some tlc…….is a 1942 willys… ill take some tools like: brake lathe, or a hydralic lift for cars or just tell me what you got.. thanks….i was going to have this car for a nice proj. but dont have time…”

This looks like an MB that’s been slightly modified.
