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 $500
No motor. Appears the dash has been changed some.
“1944 Willys Jeep without motor, not parting it out, $500 takes the whole thing. Good for parts or restoration. $500 I have the title ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
The engine isn’t original.
“Running and driving WW II Army Jeep. It has a Jeep four cylinder engine but not the original flat head. The brakes need work. The body has rust and will require repair if it is to be restored to as new condition. Still has its original identification tags affixed to it and has a California title. The Ramsey winch works. This is a project and is priced accordingly, if you’re looking for a mint condition Jeep then this is not the one for you.”
UPDATE: Was $3200. **SOLD**
The pic is a bit fuzzy.
“jeep is in great shape runs good call 4 info”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600
“This Jeep was given to me by a friend who’s grandfather died and left it to him. He lost the title so it only comes with a bill of sale. The granddad has owned it for many many years.
It sure not perfect and won’t win any beauty contests but he did have it running and driving about 2 years ago. As far as I can tell it’s pretty much complete and original and for the most part un-molested. This jeep is 65 years old so I would much rather you plan for the worst and hope for the best than be disappointed in any way-now that having been said I can’t imagine a better project jeep for the price. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4750.
This looks in good condition.
“Orignal Jeep that runs well with newly rebuilt original Hurricane 4 cylinder engine. New front end parts and new wiring harness; tires and top in good condition; with extra wheels/tires and parts; good title. Will try to get more up-to-date pics later. Needs good home that keeps it original.”
This looks like a good price.

If I interpret this ad correctly, this was a $40k present for his son (I have lots of thoughts here I think I will keep them to myself –btw, Medina is where Bill Gates built his 66,000 sqft house, so if this seller lives in Medina, I suspect he didn’t blink spending $40k on a jeep). I’m not sure what the price on this is, but the reason for selling it is very funny: A16th birthday present for my son, wife said no, wife is hott, jeeps gotta go:(

Entire jeep is flat rattle can black, has never been off road and has less then 500 miles on it. A16th birthday present for my son, wife said no, wife is hott, jeeps gotta go:( Just under 40k into this all professionally built nicest 46 CJ2A that you could ever find anywhere!”
Roberts Armory is a traveling museum located in Rochelle, Illinois.
According to their website, the museum “specializes in the acquisition and display of light armored vehicles and artillery used by the U.S. Army in World War II. During World War II reenactments the museum usually portrays the 70th Tank Battalion. The museum participates in WWII related displays, parades, motion pictures and reenactments throughout the United States.”
Roberts Armory has also been asked to participate in movies and shows. Though Roberts appears to have a facility, unlike traditional museums, Roberts is only open for visitation on special days or by special appointment.
While Roberts only appears to have one 1945 MB, they do have a few different outfits for it.
1. Here it is with and without a top.
2. Here it is with the 50 Cal gun mounted.
3. Here it is in full armor.
