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 .

According to the seller, who has owned this jeep for 14 years, this runs and drives good. But, it needs new brake lines because the seller never connected them? That seems a little odd.

The year on the hood of this jeep appears to read 1941, but the ad is for a 1942 MB. Probably an oversight, but just saying …
“you will not find a better conditioned willys army jeep than this… all original matching numbers 1942 willys jeep.. this vehicle has never been registered or even driven on a road..it has been professionally restored. its has 72 original miles ….yes just 72 as it just sits around in a climate controlled aircraft hangar and is occassionaly driven on the airfield.. it is in mint condition with no dirt of any kind on it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
Not much MB left. Lots of mods. Looks good. Has a fiberglass bobcat hood.

It’s not entirely stock, but looks solid.
“For your consideration is my 1942 Willys MB Army Jeep. I restored this Jeep several years ago and it gets used very little so I have decided to part with it. When restoring the Jeep I took the body off of the frame and installed new brakes (wheel cylinders, pads, master cylinder, brake lines) and painted the frame. I also undercoated the body. The engine is a flat head four cylinder but I am not sure it is original to the Jeep. I was told it was probably a little later model engine and that it had been gone through. The only thing I have done to the engine was to install new plugs, wires, distributer cap, rotor, etc. I also had the carb rebuilt and converted the Jeep to a 12 volt system with new electrical wiring. The engine sounds very good and does not smoke or use oil. The transmission and transfer case do work. I had the transmission rebuilt and it works well but it is sometimes difficult to get into second gear. It seems to be getting better with use. All gages are in good working order and the speedometer is new. The seats have been recovered as can be seen in the pictures. I also installed a new correct fuel tank and the Jeep has new tires on it. This Jeep is missing very little to make it complete. I do not have a top or top bows, what you see in the pics is what I have.”
