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 $1500.
I’m not sure what part of this project is the project part.
“1944 Willy’s Jeep. 283 Chevy with a 3spd. Great project! Asking $1500.
Bob spotted this unusually modified MB. The seller believes this was converted by the Greek Army.
“Converted by Greek Army to re-coilest rifle carrier, ammo mounts in tact, 3 out of 4 combat wheels,solid body with surface rust, does not have motor but does have original running gear-motors available. please call- 216-287-3582”

This looks solid at first glance, however it is missing the steps, suggesting that the body needs closer inspection.

UPDATE: Lester reports this *might* be a scam, as 936 is a Texas area code rather than a Iowa code. Of course, cell numbers are so portable, of which I’m a perfect example (I have a cali area code), that it’s not a definitive sign.
No pics. The seller will text a pic. I’m gonna guess this is either a MB/GPW or CJ-2A.
“It needs some work. Its seventy years old. The body is in good shape for the age. It has the origanal engine, trany, as far as I know. Can send pic text. Call or text Joel 936-230-4650”
Located in Petaluma, California, The Richard Penry Medal of Honor Memorial Military Museum appears to have two Willys. One is well restored (though I have a question) and the Second one is part of a diorama and tipped on its side.
Here’s the first, a Slat Grille MB. These images are from Wikipedia. My question is … isn’t that front cross member from a GPW and not a MB? Or am I missing something?
The back of this MB:
Here’s the tipped over Willys. I couldn’t find a better pic of this.
Looks good.

UPDATE: **SOLD** was on eBay.
“You are bidding on a great restoration project. I am thinning my collection because I have a few other rare vehicles that I’m in the process of restoring so some toys must go. This is a 42 slat grill that is very restorable. Original hood numbers can be seen. It does have rust in the usual places such as front floors, fuel tank and driver side panel but the frame is very solid. Both front bumper and rear crossmember are in excellent condition which is very rare and hard to find. The tail panel has never been messed with and is in great shape. All gauges appear original. The jeep comes with a complete MB motor but it is not original to the car as the vin is very high. The data tags are long gone but the original frame tag is still on the frame. I do have two original front seats that will go with the jeep. Brass windshield clamps, filterette, front seat are all correct. I do have four early GPW’s on Willys frame that will be on ebay soon as well as two more slat grills. I will except offers through ebay for our mutual protection”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
“Up for sale is my grandfather’s 1943 Willy’s Jeep. It needs a total restoring but it is 100% complete and was driven occasionally up to a few years ago by my father. The original title shows it as military issue and was recorded July 17, 1943. It has 53,000 original miles on it. THAT’S RIGHT 53,000 MILES. This is a Jeep restorer’s dream. Even has the original seats. THIS IS A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH.”
It’s not quite as original as claimed, but looks solid.
“1944 4x 4 Jeep Willys. Nice and runs great. Original except paint. Soft top. Flathead 4 Cylinder. Good tires and electrical. Please call 916.316.4550 or 530.476.2229. Thank you.”
