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: Price dropped to $3000
It’s probably a bit much for a non-running project.
“WW2 jeep project includes your choice of MB or GPW frame. Both in good restorable condition. Older ” new” body kit with new tube, fenders, and hood with original grille and complete windsheild. Running WW2 era engine, T-84 transmission, all 3 seat frames and misc. parts. A very solid project. $3500. Call 918-836-7583 or 918-231-2133″
UPDATE: Was $4000. **SOLD**
It’s running, but needs a little upholstery.
“I have ajeep that is all original runs good delivered to fort ord in 1943 during WW II needs upholstery and a top other than that you can drive it away or tow it (it has a tow bar attatched at the front bumper or make an offer thanks”
This looks like a rust bucket.
“1942 jeep willys not running 760-415-3668”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $1000.
Here’s an old MB with a very heavy Bebe Brother’s winch on it. Apparently, these hand crank winches were used across a variety of applications.
“Willys Jeep For Sale 1942-1945 (Not sure of year of manufactuing) Former Army Use Vehicle, Needs lots of TLC Has a Bebe Brothers 2 Ton Steel Winch (Serial # 58)”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s a slatgrille MB out of Wisconsin. It appears in good shape.
“I bought this jeep in 2000 from Houston TX and had it shipped to Wisconsin where I had it restored. I have invested $14,000 into this vehicle but willing to part with it for less…. I am not a jeep expert by any means, but I believe this jeep is largely origional with a few exceptions… It has been upgraded to a 12 volt system, and the windshield is not original. Like a lot of old jeeps, it does drip a few drops of oil after driving, but this jeep looks and drives GREAT! I do not have a top for the jeep. I do not have a title, and this will be sold with a bill of sale only. Please dont hesitate to ask me with any questions you may have.”
UPDATE: I keep seeing the ‘follow me’ jeep from Portland for sale, so I thought I’d rerun this post from last year …
While looking for something else, I stumbled upon a website showing a model of a “follow me jeep”, which is shown to the right. The website notes:
Follow Me jeeps were jeeps that were used at airfields to help control ground traffic of airplanes at an air base.Follow Me jeeps used close to the front remained the normal olive drab paint color, but at bases farther to the rear, the jeeps became brightly colored.
I’ve never heard the term “follow me jeep”, though I did know they were used at airfields. However, I had never seen a jeep painted this way before. So, I wondered if the paint job was someone’s fantasy of what a “follow me jeep” might have been.
However, after doing a little searching, I found a page on Brian’s Military Jeeps Site that discusses, in depth, some of the unique characteristics of a “follow me jeep” plus some very specific restoration information, including an image of a jeep with the “gas attack” paint: portions of the jeep could change color if certain gasses were present.
And to the right is a black and white image of a checkered jeep and checkered trailer.
It’s a parts jeep.
“has orig. engine runs no trans or t-case body is complete has some rust damage but fixable good projecthas tow bar and is towable i had plans for it but have another project and need the room and money best reasonable offer takes it”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300.
“1943 Willys Jeep. I was told by the previous owner that it was a WWII general’s jeep. Can’t confirm that, but it’s possible, and a cool story … Previous owner rebuilt the engine, I can’t say exactly when … The thing starts up and runs. It’s a bit rough — probably just a timing thing — but it gets around. Body is surprisingly straight and rust free…. It’s missing the original fuel tank and fuel pump, and instead has a boat tank and hand pump! Works great for general use .. A friend of mine took a liking to it about a year ago and put in new spark plugs, wires, distributor, rotor and battery ..”
I’m not sure if this runs? It looks like there’s been some work on the body as one of the driver side cutouts is missing.
“Body Style ASM2D. Need a project? Well here it is! It’s an oldie but could really be a goody!
LOCAL ONLY! CASH ONLY!! please contact me at tigerbeauty07@aol.com. please use ONLY “JEEP” or CRAIGSLIST” in SUBJECT LINE . Thank you.”
Note the interesting modifications to the grille.
“This is a Jeep that I purchased a little while back. I was going to restore it to look like the old Military Jeeps. It features a one of a kind grill which has two half vents on each side, as well as 4 indicator lights, instead of just 2. This one has a tailgate, which I think may not be original. It has the flathead motor or the “Go Devil” motor. The other parts of the drivetrain, I believe are original. The body has a military style dash, with the military style glovebox….”
