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 .
Though it’s in ok condition, these don’t pop up everyday.
“I have a garaged Willys MB body for sale. It includes the speedometer and 3 of the 4 gauges. I am going away for school and would like to see this go to a good home. The body is in OK condition with some rust in the normal problem areas. The pictures aren’t the best, but I’ll answer any questions anyone may have.”
The image on the Ad was a bit dark, so I lightened up. I don’t see a Jeep, but I do see smoke.
“I have a 1942 willys jeep army needs restored and title good project motor turns over will have pics up soon”
The top on this MB is unusual. Is that a custom or aftermarket top? I can’t say for sure this is an MB, it’s just my guess.
“I have a 1940’s Willy’s flat fender for sale. I’m asking 3500 or best offer. The jeep still runs but needs work as you can see in the pics. If you have any questions about the car or your interested in looking at it. You can reach me at 408-209-0511 my name is Branden. Or you can send an e-mail to shortys_weedies@yahoo.com Serious inquiries only. Thank you”
This jeep is located on the Oregon/Cali border near highway 101, so the drive alone is worth getting the jeep. This doesn't look in too bad of shape. The seller describes the body as fair to poor, but I've seen many worse bodies than this one.
"Body: Fair to poor condition, areas of rust.Engine: Has not run in 5 years.Tires: 5 in good condition.Other: Fenders & gas tank in good condition.Many usable parts if full restoration is not your thing.Shipping/Transportation will be the buyers responsibilityI'm located in California two miles south of the Oregon border on highway 101. I can be reached at (707)487-5808"
The seller states $12000 was spent on the restoration of this CJ-3A and that it will now go easily down Cali highways at 80mph. My response would be, for starters, how does the hood stay down at 80mph, because there is only a hood latch on the passenger side fender (none on driver side) and no latch receptacles on the hood. There's no mention of the MB body on this CJ-3A. The rear lights are missing on the driver's side. Rather than a CJ-3A, the grille appears to be a slat grille in the front (probably the most valuable part of this jeep). Caveat Emptor.
"4 wheel disk brakes, rancho suspension, 10,000 lb warn winch, power steering, power brakes, newer Ford 250 6 cylinder motor, new tires, new wheels, ground up restoration, new interior. This old jeep has been lovingly professionally restored to better than new condition. I had power disk brakes, power steering, Ford 250 motor, and rancho suspension added recently. I also had the interior completely redone for $2200 with commercial grade heavy duty vinyl and super heavy duty rubber on the floors. I also had the jeep painted with a $5500 base coat clear coat paint job which looks fantastic. There's over $12,000 in restoration and now I've decided to sell it…."

Ok, I like the big gun. Hard to find jeeps with big guns in them anymore. I know it says replica, but maybe it actually shoots?
"1945 Willys MB. This army jeep is ready for parades, shows, or just driving around. Comes with everything as shown, including .50 cal replica. With the exception of a later hood and T-90 transmission, this is a very complete (original) MB. The steering is tight, brakes are good, engine runs fine, and the tires are three years old. The four wheel drive is fully operational."
Someone's put time and money into this MB.
