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 .
Looks like a good price for all of them.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
I just can’t imagine someone thought the mods to this were a good idea. However, there appears to be some parts value at the very least. It looks to have all three data plates.
“SOLID BODY NEEDS MOTOR. NO GLASS, GREAT JEEP FOR A RERSTORE. PLEASE SAVE THIS JEEP. MAY HAVE TITLE NOT SURE AT THIS TIME. ”
This looks like a good price based on the pics. And, if it runs, it’s a really good price.

This is worth a closer look. It has a nicely aged patina to it. As long as it runs and drives, I’m not sure I’d want to do much more to it.

Not in the best shape, but cleaned up this could be a neat little toy.

Not sure there is much value here, but the bumper looks good.

Alex spotted an article about eMBs. The Electric MB is supposed to be made to order and cost 755.000 PhP, which is about $18,500. I did not see the electric jeep listed at MD Juan’s website, though I didn’t do an exhaustive search.
According to this excerpt from the article, “the [electric] Willy’s MB which will be powered by a 4-kilowatt, 48-volt electric motor deriving energy from eight units 6-volt batteries. Its manufacturer – MD Juan Enterprises – calls it the eMB.
The new model of the vintage MacArthur jeep, the latest product of MD Juan Enterprises and PhUV, Inc., made it debut last week at the Philippine Die and Mould Association exhibit at the World Trade Center. The body of the electric MB was made using locally-made dies and moulds and manufactured in MD Juan’s stamping plant.”
Here’s the official press release from MD Juan.
