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: The price has dropped to $1800. This appears to be a very good price on an MB.
“Willys Jeep needs a new home. Has a brand new battery. Please call 360 263-3259 or 360 951-3409 after 5 PM..”
Ok, so 80% restored doesn’t classify as almost finished. It’s a bit pricey for what appears to be a hefty project still. The body appears in pretty decent shape though.
“Here is your chance to own an ORIGINAL 1941 Willys, 80% complete!! It has primer on it and is ready to be painted, NO RUST!! NO BODY PUTTY, all original parts except for the wheels. Here is what is new: Brakes, Gas Tank, Windshield frame, Carb, Battery, Plugs, All bought from Swamps. All the gages work and are the ORGINAL gages, even the seats are original but need to be re-covered…. “
I don’t know how rare these are, but I thought I’d post them in case anyone was interested.
“World War II Willys Jeep First Aid Kit With Contents. I also have an original Pyrene fire extinguisher with brackett. 909 908 4390”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
“1941 Jeep needs some motor parts to run like fuel line and radiator hose. It was in World War 2. Body is in good condition. 3 speed.”
Here’s an interesting pile of parts out of Cherokee, NC.
“A great project for you flat fender Jeep fans. This is a 1942 Ford built GPW Jeep basket case with many many parts. There are basically two Jeeps here, the ’42 is a genuine WWII era model complete with the built in ammo storage cans in the back, the flip up headlights and the Browning machine gun mounting plate built into the frame. The other is a 1946 civilian jeep. These represent 10+ years of accumulating the parts and pieces to build a WWII jeep that I never got around to doing. ”
UPDATE: Was listed at $4000.
I’m not sure if there are any ’42 parts left on this jeep.

UPDATE: Here’s a post of a Ypsilanti Machine and Tool Company Hand Crank Heater
UPDATE: I’ve posted pics of Dennis’ hand crank heater here. Here’s another from Nathalie.
UPDATE: Here’s a video of a Stewart Warner Heater in action.
ORIGINAL POST: I was at Josh’s when I spotted an odd device I didn’t recognize. When I asked what it was used for, he explained it and then offered to send images of similar heaters along with a couple brochure images. Cool stuff!

Brian’s, of Brian’s Military Jeeps Website, is clearing out his storage lockers and has a variety of things for sale. Items include “ACCESSORIES FOR MOTORCYCLE, TRUCK, AMBULANCE, 1/2 TRACK, TANK GMC, DODGE, CHEVROLET, STUDEBAKER, WHITE, HARLEY, KAISER, AM GENERAL”.
Interestingly, the body appears to be a MB/GPW, but the driver side cutouts are missing. So, I suspect there’s been some body work done at some point.
“85% RESTORED RUNNING WITH V6 AND 1-1/2 DINA TRANS AN TRANSFER CASE”
UPDATE: Was $1500. **SOLD**
This MB comes with a brand new body. The rest of the parts appear to be a bit rougher.
“Project jeep includes rolling frame, original 4 cylinder engine, extra front end. Engine ran when parked. This is a project! Please, serious buyers only. We are not willing to trade.”
