About eWillys
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.
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 .

“Willys MB jeep tub with CJ-2 frame, front and rear axles, and front mb fenders (not shown). Tub still needs some work but partially restored and solid. $1100 or best serious offer will be considered. Not included that is in the pic is the CJ-3 windshield frame. Pick up in Hartly. Cross posted.”
“I have a great 59 cj3b jeep also known as a high hood. Not a great candidate for a perfect restoration but would be great for a hunting jeep or off road rig. Motor blew and po removed it and the radiator. The rest is complete. In the last few years a new gas tank and guage cluster was installed along with a few other parts. Body is pretty good but not rust free. Front floors are solid rear mda attention. Body is cracked by spare tire. All tires hold air. I was gonna put in a Buick 225 to replace he factory 4cyl but need to spend the time on my business. Currently loaded on my trailer and I can deliver for a fee or if close we can work something out. I have a bill of sale from the po and am willing to provide one myself. ”
“4X4 better than average cond. ran last fall. half cab inspected in 2008 good tires not bad for a 69 year old rig. will have it at castaway farm flea market this sunday”
UPDATE: You might remember the 2013 adventure of a pair of Italians who bravely drove their MB from Italy to Toledo. Ann and I nearly met them along their trip to the east coast, but our timing was a little off. Well, the pair received a post-trip honor. I’ll let Gregory explain:
A couple of years ago you were kind enough to publicize a trip undertaken by two half-witted Italians to drive back to Toledo an original Willys to MB so that it could celebrate its 70th birthday in its hometown.
Some in the Ewillys community might like to know that the adventure has found a degree of official recognition by being included in the “Modus Vivendi” (Way of Life”) exhibition which runs until 27 September at the Turin Auto Museum, in company of vehicles which have raced the Panamericana, re-enacted the Beijing-Paris race or crossed Africa from Algiers to Cape Town. Our New York to Toledo drive was among the shortest, but also the one performed by the oldest car and the only one by enthusiasts with no sponsorship.
I am attaching a couple of pictures of the display and a description of the exhibition. Sadly the Museum website is rather thin on details, but more information about the trip, car and crew can be found on our “A Jeep Comes Home” blog and the similarly-titled Facebook page.
Thanks for your excellent website and the services it provides to the Jeep community worldwide. –Gregory Alegi
As you can see in the photo, the jeep shows pretty well against the backdrop of some fancier vehicles (Note to Ann — Honey, if this isn’t a good reason to go to Italy, I can’t think of another ….)
Here’s an interesting bit of history for those interested in the Safari Kar. The seller marks this as a released in 1996, but given it is introducing its 1995 line, I think it was printed earlier.
“Original typewritten press release , 8.5 x 11 , UNILLUSTRATED , describes 1975 to 1983 remanufactured US Post Office Jeeps . This was printed in 1996 by Safari Kar .”
“My father-in-law, a WWII Vet, is parting with his 1947 jeep. He has owned in since 1964. He rebuilt the engine, but it does need new wiring and breaks. It has been stored inside and comes with the plow attachment.”
