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 .
The back of the driver’s side does look rough, but I’ve seen worse …

UPDATE: Was $18,999. **SOLD**
(08/31/2010) This “mint” condition MB has an unusual cross member underneath the grille. It also sports what appear to be warn hubs. I’d review this closely.
“This mint condition 1943 Willy MB military US Army vehicle is for sale, new roof, a must see vehicle, this is a true collectors item, travels 65 MPH, 60 HP, weight 2453 lbs, 132 inches long, fuel tank holds 15 gallons of gasoline, get about 20 miles per gallon, original cost was $739, email your questions, thanks”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $1500.
This looks like a great price.
“1942 model mb millitay jeep. owned since 1960 . has good title,on non-op. has been in my garage since last used in 1987. runs-drives needs little work. 1500.00 OBO. please call for more info.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
It runs, drives and appears solid. It needs work of some kind.
“I have for sell a 1944 willys jeep. It has the 4 cyl F head motor not the flat head motor. The jeep runs an drives but needs work, its 66 years old the body is in very good shape an its a MB 44 willys…..”
I’ve seen them in old pictures, but Kim is the first owner of a Long Range Desert Group S.A.S. Willys to contact me and share pics. Of course, you can’t but help but think of the old Rat Patrol shows when you see these vehicles. After reading through the LRDG.org website, one of the things I’ve learned is that there was plenty of thought, research and recon work that went into the supplies these jeeps and truck would need to carry with them as they sailed long, desolate seas of sand.
Kim writes, “The jeep I bought is mechanically perfect. The previous owner put all his money into the motor, brakes and trans. The body on my jeep needs some help and eventually I will replace the rear and floor sections of the tub as there is some rust. Fortunately, It came to me painted in the proper color and had many extras including a Bagnold sun compass.
As a special addition to this jeep, I re-built a WW2 Italian de-milled M37 machine gun and converted it into a gas gun M.G. simulator. It sounds like a M.G. but no blanks are needed and it can not shoot a projectile. That is mounted on the front cowling. As I have been a machinist and tool maker for 30 years I machined a set of Twin Vickers machine guns out of aluminum for the rear mount. These are strictly dummies with no moving parts.
I did not buy this jeep to be a Trailer Queen. This is a re-enactment jeep and as far as I am concerned it looks like it just got back from Kufra Oasis and that is exactly what I want. My ultimate dream is to have 2 WW2 jeeps. The S.A.S (which is not street legal) and an American OD jeep that is licensed and ready to drive to work.”
And a couple pics of the Twin Vickers Kim made. In this pic, some basic outlines and contours have been created in the aluminum stock.
Here you can see many more details are apparent.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This appears to have a MB body, but it’s been modified: A tailgate added and steps changed.
“Nice Project for Dad & Son to work on. Back injury keeps me from working on jeep.”
For $25k, I’d hope for at least a few markings …
“1941 Willys MB, slate grill, fully restored from the tires to the top to original condition. $25,000. Call 415-519-1513.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700.
This looks like a deal. It runs, has a top, and a plow. That’s worth $700 easily. I’m guessing this is a MB rather than a CJ-2A.
“1946 Jeep with plow. 4 wheel drive used to plow driveway for last 3 years. extra set of original rims, extra transmission and transfer case, axels and steering column and wheel. Also have tow bar”
This needs some work … I’m less certain an average Joe could do a great job with this unless they expend an unaverage amount of money.
“I have a ’42, Ford GPW, real deal WWII jeep. Frame and body are original as is the glove box door. Serial numbers are the same in all three areas. At some point earlier in its life it had a small ford straight six installed. I got it to restore. But after an accident my health is holding me back. So I hope that someone else can bring it back to life. Look at this way no compound curves, no fancy expensive rechromimg polishing. The ” average Joe” could do a great job on this little piece History. Questions, wanna take a look? Ph. 209 599-6044.”
