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 .
It’s a project.

“1944 MB Willys Jeep project. Body and parts to be assembled. Includes lots of new parts. Title is with Jeep! Great project for the right person.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** “Was $1800.
(06/15/2018) Seems to be a mix of MB and GPW parts.
“1943 Willys Ford GPW Jeep. The tub/body is a Willy the Jeep has many GPW parts. Starter and generator are GPW. The motor in the Jeep is not original. I have a ’43 GPW and wanted to use this one for parts but I will never get around to it. The body it toast but there are salvageable parts: glove box, rear compartment doors, and other parts on the exterior. The frame is also in bad shape. Wheels, tranny, differentials, and axles are good. Also comes with another Motor block and GPW head cover.
I can deliver within a reasonable distance for .50 cents a mile. It is in a car hauler and tires are flat so it will have to be pulled off at destination. It will have to be paid in full before I deliver. You can come see.”
UPDATE: Still Available. It looks as if the fenders have been fiberglassed/bonded to the body.
(09/15/2018) Looks repowered. Appears to have truck/wagon fenders.

“1942 Willy’s mb California vin clean title (need to bring a trailer to haul it) needs distributor and radiator”

Seller has a few CJ jeeps there, too, but unclear if they are for sale or not.
“Willy 1942-1945 MB jeeps, Ford 1942 GPW, Willys M38A1. I have 4 Military project jeeps in various conditions for sale. Some have titles and some do not. None are complete. Please look at the pictures then set up a time on the weekends to see them. They will take some time to dig out and have ready for a trailer so again please look at the pictures. If you are interested we can set up a time to look at them and go from there.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2592.
Jay spotted this unusual flat fender project on Facebook.
“1942 Jeep that’s ben strechted and widened and mounted on a 79 Bronco frame with a 88 fuel injected 5.0, 89 AOD trans, 79 transfer case with split shifter, 9in rear and Dana 44 front, 35in tires on 12inX15in Centerline rims. It’s a project but most of the mechanical is done!”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $13,000.
Would make a fine parade jeep.
“Clean 42’Willy with all documents and paperwork. Runs and drives great. Showing by appointments”
This does appear to have an MB/GPW frame (see the rear shock mount), but much of the rest looks civilian.

“1943 Willys with 20,000 miles on the odometer! Original flathead 4 cylinder engine runs perfect. It also has the coveted warn overdrive behind the original 3 speed trans and tranfercase. This is pretty much a turn key vehicle. I’d trust it to drive me anywhere. It comes with a tow bar to pull behind a truck or rv. I have doors and I have a set of original Willys wheels with military tires for it as well. We’ve been back and forth on selling it, and we’ve decided it’s time to let it go. I just had the carb rebuilt yesterday and have a receipt to prove it. I drove it nearly every day all summer, and it never failed me. I’ll consider an offer from serious buyers, but please don’t waste my time on a low ball offer. This jeep is the real deal, and I’ll keep it before I give it away for dirt cheap”
