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: Was $4500. **SOLD**
Here’s a cool truck.
“Original engine, wooden flat bed, nice; runs and drives good.”

(08/03/2010) I’ve seen more wood slatted hoods in Montana then anywhere else! This appears in good shape.
“New Met Bronze paint, black vinyl seats & back seat. Roll bar, 1/2 top. Rebuilt original 4 cyl.; New brakes. Mickey Thompson 31×10.50-15’s. Trail tested, ready to roll. ”
This looks like a good price.
“47 jeep willys truck, 305 small block in it, TH400 tranny, 4:11 gears. Engine runs good, will need some TLC but overall shes pretty solid. Hate to get rid of her, but, need to thin out the herd. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
(06/14/2010) This looks like a nicely done upgrade. That’s a lot of power for that undersized frame.
“I have a 1945 Ford GPW, V8 conversion, Chevy 350 bored .030 over, 4-speed trans, lockers front and rear, all new wiring. ”
This seems like a good price to me.
“This jeep was reconditioned in the late ’90. For the past two or three years it has been parked in my barn. As a result of not being run the fuel pump has stopped working. With a $30 rebuild kit and a complete cleaning of the fuel system this jeep will run fine. It has been used primarily as a show vehicle being displayed in various parades and events. It is in excellent condition and would make a fine addition to someones militaria collection. The markins are from the Korean War era and the unit was reconditioned to represent this period.”

This looks quite nice.
“This Willys is in great shape! It needs some minor work, but runs good. The body is super solid. There are a couple of nicks in the paint, but nothing major. We’ve kept it in the garage, and have only driven it to a few car shows around town. The previous owner rebuilt, and painted it before he passed away. He took great care of this beauty, and entered many car shows with it. His son put it up for sale and we bought it.
Before that, we know nothing about the vehicle. We have owned this vehicle for about 3 years. This vehicle was rebuilt by the previous owner with these added features: 3.8 Buick V6, 350 Turbo Automatic Transmission, B&M Floor Shifter, custom built interior, black carpeting inside cargo area, Pioneer Stereo, bright yellow paint.”
UPDATE: This sold on ebay for $23k
(04/14/2010) This is an UNRESTORED MB in excellent condition.
Quoting Josh, “I think this is a truly rare opportunity to buy probably the nicest unrestored mb in private hands. I’ve known the owner for a number of years now. I can attest to the fact that he only settles for the nicest/correct original parts and knows what is period correct. A true collector, preservationist, and expert. As far as original goes this jeep is the real deal, top of the line, and something that doesn’t come up for sale. Whoever ends up with this will jeep not be disappointed.”
The seller writes, “For Sale WWII JEEP: original unrestored complete 1944 Willys MB, in running & driving condition, clear PA title, 5 Goodyear tires, ORIGINAL summer canvas top, windshield cover, half doors, ORD tire pump, hand crank, grease gun, first aid kit, oil can, TM 9-803 manual, fold lube chart, and an extra fuel sump ….are all included. Jeep is located near Harrisburg PA. Please email me for price. I’m looking for serious buyers only! Thank you.”
