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 Willys MB Jeep for sale. Partially restored, has currently rebuilt F head later model 4 cylinder engine, over sized brakes. Non-stock wheels and tires. New canvas, seat and top.”
It’s one of the cleanest jeeps around? I’d hate to see the dirty ones.

This ad includes links to a variety of upclose images. I think it gives a pretty honest look at the vehicle (wish all ads were this good).
“1942 Willy’s Jeep (flat fender) with Chevy 350 engine, new Borg Warner T150 transmission, Advanced adapter plate to engine/bell housing, transfer case bearings new, new battery & Quadrajet carburator, fuel filter & line. The engine has double hump 2.02″ heads and I was told it was out of a ‘70’s Corvette. The tires have a ton of tread on them and look like they’re very new. The motor turns over easily and idles just like a V8 should. This Jeep is setup well with Saginaw power steering, line locker parking brake and 2 jerry can 5 gallon fuel can holders. Since it’s a Military Jeep, it’s also got the shovel storage on the driver’s side.”
“I have several years worth of Hot Rod, Rat Rod, Mopar, Muscle Car and Jeep parts. Please don’t ask if I have something else if it is not pictured here. This is what I am willing to part with right now. All prices are OBO, but please do not insult me. …”
“1943 MB tub and frame, 1945 MB motor, transmission and transfer case. not a complete restoral, but well on the way. Runs well, looks good, needs finishing touches. No back seat or canvas top, but has top bows and hardware, original gas tank sealed with POR-15, 6 volt system, with original generator and regulator. New tires on 16″ rims (not combat rims) Oregon title ( had to title as 1947 willys, because that is what the Idaho title said when I bought the tub and frame in Coulee Wa. howevever, the frame and tub are original 1943, as well as the engine) Will consider straight across trade for motor home of same value”
Here’s some 1945 MB pics I’ve linked to from the website. You can see more pics on this forum page.
I believe the author of this bilingual (french/spanish) site (jeep42.net) about a 1942 MB is from Europe, though I didn’t get a sense of exactly where they were located. Neither my French nor my Spanish will save me in an emergency, let alone let me navigate a site about jeeps.
Fortunately, the excellent pictures make the site worth visiting even for the most linguistically challenged of us. I especially liked the pic below (there are other pics that provide similar comprehensive views of parts). If anyone knows who operates the site, I’d gladly add their name here so i can properly credit them.
