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 .
A UK TV production company is producing a TV show for Discovery and would like to use the image below. It was one of five reprinted photos purchased together off of eBay in April of 2013. I suspect these photos are now in the public domain, however if you happen to own this photo can you contact me (d@ewillys.com)? I’ll get you in touch with the TV production company.
Two 99th Infantry Division GI’s work to change a tire and repair their Jeep in the snow near Eloenborn, Belgium on January 27, 1945.
“Here’s a project that never quite got off the ground. Long story short: bought a Willys MB that had been rolled, tossed nearly everything short of the frame, then purchased all new parts to build a “new” jeep. But, because the frame was bent, it never got put back together… and that’s why we’re here today.
I put together a spreadsheet listing everything that goes with this project and used current prices to come up with an approximate value of around $10k for everything if one were to purchase it individually. See the spreadsheet here. Note – there is no motor included.
Everything is packed neatly into a crate for easy shipping by truck. Overall dimensions of the crate are around 10’Lx7.5’Wx6’H. Weight is probably around 3,000#.
I have larger versions of the pictures below – please send me a message on eBay if you’d like to see them or if you have any other questions. You can also give me (Brian) a call at (760) 500-3608 with any other questions.”
“Are you tired of reading the way everybody describes something that they are selling lately? They always say its rare, one of a kind, show ready, mint, old school, prototype, custom, head turner, show stopper etc. How about a VEHICLE that is TRULY all of the above!
You are viewing a TRUE one of a kind 1961 Willys. This is so special, you will never see another one like it. Not in any show or anywhere in the world. Ever! How many people can say that?
Yes, Willys did make a woody. But, they NEVER used real wood. They used a decal. This special 1961 Willys has real solid oak & walnut wood. NOT VENEER. It took over two years in planning, dreaming, drawings, blueprints, and painstaking love to create this masterpiece. An old school master carpenter used old world techniques to hug this beauty with REAL wood. This Willys even has a period correct wooden surfboard rack with canvas tie downs with its original factory sticker! Pulling it ALL TOGETHER is a vintage surfboard and vintage window surf stickers!
This was sold in Phoenix in 2012. Now it’s for sale in Florida on eBay. The new seller is using the pictures from the previous eBay listing.
Flat fender high hood Jeep. This is a rust-free original Arizona Jeep, purchased new by the state of Arizona for use by Salt River Project Power and Water. The Jeep still has the original windshield with the SRP decal still intact. It was purchased from SRP surplus by a retired employee in the mid 80’s and has spent the last 25 years on his ranch in northern AZ, before being purchased and fully restored. Has original OHC 4-cylinder Willys Hurricane engine, 3-speed manual transmission and 4-wheel drive. Full frame-on cosmetic restoration was just completed including fully disassembling down to the bare tub, sandblasting and re-assembly. The Jeep was totally rust-free to start with, so there is very little filler and no patch panels. Engine was fully resealed and detailed to showroom condition. The complete suspension and braking system was rebuilt and upgraded to 11″ brakes from a later CJ5. Brand new wiring harness, starter, generator and regulator have been installed and tested. This Jeep has painstakingly been re-outfitted with all the correct original details down to the canvas straps, jerry can and shovel and axe mounted on the tub. Vacuum operated windshield wipers were added and all new handmade lines run. Also, the original period correct Motorola two-way radio used by SRP is still installed. Five new Firestone OE spec tires were installed to finish off this authentic and rare CJ3B.
“1945 Willy’s MB Jeep, not running, was running driving and something happened to the steering, will only turn one way. I stopped driving it about 5 years ago.Has orignal drivetrain, 4 cyl. flathead, homemade cab, Coop grip spur tires all hold air, would make a good project. no title $800.00 obo”
No steps, but the rest looks pretty good for a home made body.
“Complete handmade Jeep body for sale. Flat fenders typical of late 40s to early 50s. Very heavy gauge steel, much tougher than a typical body. Everything shown is included and all the pieces are there for a complete body. Grill is an original Willys part, not handmade. Might have a few extras like a gas tank that could be included also. I have the title for 1948 Willys Jeep which goes with it.”
This is a pretty stock, early 2A. It’s rough, but maybe there’s value here?
“Old hunting jeep,hasn’t been started in probably 10 years,needs lots of work,no title.
