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 .

“1943 Jeep MB
While in college, I purchased this Jeep in 1965 from the family that bought the Jeep at the end of WW2 at the Long Beach, CA dock.
The original owner used it on their ranch in Tustin, CA. They added a metal box to the back of the tub and added some height to the windshield frame. Warn Hubs and a tow bar were the only other modifications.
I added a roll bar and seat belts. I used the Jeep for college transportation and trips to the San Bernardo, CA. Mountains. During my time in the Navy, my father drove the Jeep to work daily.
Since the 1970s, we have used the Jeep occasionally on our ranch. My father and son overhauled the motor in the 1980s as a project for my son.
Last year, I pulled it into the shop to check it out. I got the motor running fine, had the starter rebuilt and found that the trans and transfer boxes needed rebuilding due to moisture damage. I installed a new-old-stock transmission that I had acquired sometime back and completely overhauled the transfer gearbox. The flywheel was surfaced. The pressure plate was rebuilt. The clutch plate and associated bearings were replaced.
I replaced the entire brake system, including lines and cylinders, with new parts except the drums, which were resurfaced.
All wheel bearings, u-joints and hub seals are new.
The Jeep is completely original down to the wheels and skid plates except as noted.
I have saved all the old parts.
The jeep runs and drives and has some needs. The charging system is inoperative and the body needs to be refinished.
I started to restore the Jeep for my grandson to drive. After spending the time and effort thus far, I decided that it was too original for my ranch use and really not suitable as a daily driver for my grandson in Southern Ca. traffic. Times have indeed changed.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,000
(10/10/2010) Here’s a rebuilt MB.
“1945 WWII Willys MB Jeep

Frame from 1945, with orig. frame VIN tag. Tub from 1943 with orig data plates. Titled as 1947.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This body was widened 6″ … was it done because they could? Also, the rear appears to have been cut and a custom extension added (I don’t think that’s the bolt on extender I’ve seen other some other jeeps).
“The body was widened about 6 inches by Southwestern College years ago. It really is a nice configuration. I have the original military air cleaner setup. It has been converted to 12-volt alternator electrical. The rest of the drive train is stock with the flathead four and works great. The tow bar works great and uses a 1 7/8″ ball. I am selling because I need the covered parking space and my son, who loved and cared for it, will be out of the country for years. Driven regularly. Clean title. 4-wheel drive works fine. Lots of fun! $3500 firm.”
Rudolf, a native of Holland, has moved to the island of Bali in Indonesia. There, he stumbled on this unusual 6×6 last month. Well, I guess he has found some other WWII flatties. He thought readers might be interested in purchasing them if the export/import can be worked out.
Here’s a 1944 MB he found:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000
According to the seller, this is restored except for the paint. No indication as to whether the numbers match or not.
“1945 Willieys Jeep MB; Restored in excellent condition. Just needs final paint. Runs and drives great; Original Gout manual and parts manual; 2 Sets of wheels; Tow barSiren; Blackout headlamps; Too cool!!!”
