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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.
This looks like a great price.
“Brown jeep has a new 304, v8 engine and is smog exempt. Green jeep is for parts, the 6 cylinder in it just lost power.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. Here’s another militarized jeep. Note there is no reserve on this. The bid price has already reached $5,665. I’m kind of surprised that the bidding has hit that height already. The ‘gun’ looks really fake in this one photo. The summary text seems fair.
It looks like in this case someone has taken a flattie in poor condition (which likely explains the missing rear wheel body areas) and turn it into something reasonably cool without investing too much money. Jim was one of the best at doing that.
“Great little jeep 98% restored as MB. Engine restored, NEW tires, intake/exhaust manifold, carb, head, fuel pump, wiring harness and rear suspension. New paint job, little rust on frame. Comes with all things seen in photo.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
I can’t tell how good the body is.
“1946 CJ 2a with a world war II Ford GPW body tub. Jeep was on a deer lease since the 1970’s in central texas. NO TITLE. I had it running and it moved under it’s own power but it doesn’t run very well. Needs complete restoration or use as parts. Rusty floor boards. Tires are shot but will hold air and can load on your trailer. Good for parts or if you are so inclined could be restored. Frame is in good shape, body is restorable. Comes with four 16″ wheels and tires. also, it only comes with the drivers seat. Email with questions.”
UPDATE: Was listed at $1050. Status Unknown.
(02/28/2011) Looks like a find jeep for the price.
“This is a good running, shifting, Willys 4×4. Good brakes and clutch, decent top. This vehicle has some minor rust, but the frame is solid. Tires are good. Overall rides and drives good. There is no title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3995
(06/18/2010) I don’t see much rust.
“4 cycle overhead valve Rare Collectors item runs great.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3500
(03/06/2010) Brent spotted this rare M-170 …. even rarer that it’s been slightly modded.
“1964 M170 Ambulance. This is the military version of a CJ-6. It came out of Nevada and is RUST FREE. It has a Chevy Small Block 350 engine, chrome headers, M/T valve covers, dual exhaust, Warn Overdrive Unit, after market bucket seats, new VDO gauges, new battery, chrome rims, and bigger tires. This is a very rare Jeep with only 4000 to 5000 ever made. $4,500.00
Description
The M170 (MDA) is basically a stretched M38A1. Only 4155 were produced between the mid-1950s and the early 1960s. They were used as ambulances. The production information available for these vehicles suggests a much more limited production run.
Drive Train
The M170 was available with the “Hurricane” F-Head 134 I4 engine, T-90 3 speed transmission, Dana 18 transfer case, Dana 25 front axle, and Dana 44 rear axle.”

UPDATE: **SOLD**
“This is a 1942 Ford GPW Army Jeep with the script body. This jeep was delivered to the military on July 21, 1942”
I found this great black and white shot of an MB taken by Robert Wesley Stone at Flickr.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
Needs battery, but apparently runs.
“1958 Jeep Willys. 4 cyl. 3 stick transmission.3 sp w/rev. High/low. 4whl dr/2whl dr. needs battery and tune up. Has been kept inside. 24,100 miles. E mail for more info”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(09/02/2010) This looks good, except for what appears to be some damage near the rear wheel on the driver’s side.
“Two wheel drive station wagon. 4 cylinder 3-speed with overdrive. New bronze glass, new brakes and wheel cylinders, new chrome wheels and tires. Runs great. Nice original Jeep. Doug”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
The rust appears limited.
“1950 Willys Overland Jeepster Convertable. 4 cylinder flat head engine. Car is a restoration project. Last registered 1995 and has been garaged ever since. Currently not running because gas tank has been removed due to a leak. Car has approximately 35,000 miles on it. This is a great project for serious restorers. Have mechanics manual and complete parts list. Has some rust but body is very solid. Needs new upholstery and paint. Great beach car. Very collectible-Only 19,000 made between 1948-51.”
Here’s a VEC #12110 that’s been militarized and ‘stickized’.
“This is a complete frame-off “down to bare metal” restoration of a VEC CJ2A Willys Jeep, S/N 12110. A jeep restored like this by a shop would cost well over $40,000 counting all the hours of “love” that went into the project. We took great care to ensure this jeep (which was manufactured on the same line as the last military jeeps) maintained as many original components as possible. Restoration began in December 2009 and we just completed it in August of 2010. You can see by the Buy It Now price that my reserve is between the starting price and the BuyItNow.
The original content of this jeep is about 95%. The jeep has the original (although converted to stick) column shift transmission. Everything on this jeep is completely restored or rebuilt. Please see pictures. We have many more pictures of the project from start to end. We have all receipts and documents and research and will provide a detailed book of the restoration process, all receipts and history of this particular jeep. The numbers on the hood are referenced from the Military database for this VIN number. Note that prior to our purchase of this restoration project, this jeep had the Leaf Springs replaced and also the Shackles were changed to a modern version by the prior owner. ….”
