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 $7000.

“I have two Willy’s jeeps for sale. One is complete, and ran 5 years ago and the other is a parts Jeep with no motor or transmission. There are extra hoods and radiators. And fenders. I have the pinkslip for the more complete one pictured. They are 1947s the tub on the green one is pretty cool as there is no tailgate. It’s one solid wrap around piece.
Make an offer. I would prefer to sell both at once”
Glenn shared this ad. Looks like something someone can use.

David spotted this CJ-2A with an MB body. It’s a mix of parts, so hard telling how much is 2A and how much is MB from the pics.
“Pink on hand, none OP, CJ2A Has Chevy V8 350 that runs, 4 x 4. $3,500 O.B.O. Has tow bar, needs emergency brake. Calls only, no text, must see”
This won’t last long.

“1944 Jeep Willys. Still has original engine. Has current tags and runs great. Its a great little jeep for taking on back roads and trails. It is easily pulled behind another vehicle. Odometer shows 24k miles but not sure how accurate that is.”
UPDATE II: There’s another 1954 Metamet 12-page brochure for sale on eBay (see bottom of post for pics)

=============================
UPDATE Posted July 04, 2019: This post has been updated to reflect some more information and images. It was originally posted in March of 2013.
Metamet was a British company that refurbished WWII jeeps and civilian jeeps, creating a slew of different models. According to the G503 Forum, “Metamet was run by an expat Pole, and latterly his son. It was a wonderful Aladdin’s caves of wartime Jeeps and Jeep bits and pieces located in a series of old mews stables in Daleham Mews. These places were commonly garage workshops in post-horse London, but nowdays are worth untold fortunes as residences.”
At one point in the early 1950s there were twelve different models of jeeps offered by Metamet, only one of which was the standard production model jeep. The rest were all customizations of one type or another. Seven models were 80″ wheel base, while the other five had 100″ wheel bases. The models include, the Standard, De-luxe, Farmer, Five-in-one, Saloon, Shooting Brake, 10 CWT Truck, Metaplan, Station Wagon, 15 CWT Van, 20 CWT Lorry, and a 2 Ton Loadmaster.
Metamet’s early 1950s models. There were seven 80″ wheel base jeeps and five 100″ wheel base jeeps.
Here’s an example of Metamet’s advertising.
A 1952 Ad posted to Flicker by Johnathan confirms there were twelve models also:
Finally, here’s a 1954 12 page brochure that provides examples of different models that used to be linked to on the jeep farm website:
UPDATE: Price dropped to $8000.

“Have a 1942 titled willys mb. Have a cj l134 engine. Its not stuck but i haven’t tried to run it. The floors suck and need replacement. I have 2700 in parts needed to repair the jeep. Contact me for more pictures.”

“1945 Willys needs total restoration, 4 cyl motor needs rebuilt, 16″ wheels, 3 speed transmission, O.D paint. DOES NOT RUN, motor is pulled and on a skid. asking $3,800……WOULD ALSO PART OUT”
Listed as a 1944, it might be a CJ body on an MB chassis, but hard to tell from these pics.
