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 .
No engine, but it looks pretty solid in the pics.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.
558 Original Miles?? By my calculations, that means this was only driven 9 miles a year. I’m having a hard time believing that. Looks nice enough though.

(07/15/2011) “Garage kept – Needs TLC”
I received an email from Paul the other day and the subject read ‘Refreshing’. One quick look at the picture in the email explained what he meant (see the 1st picture below).
Yep, that is one pretty jeep!
Using the keyword “Wailea” I started tracking down more pictures of it. It turns out Colin has a couple of them too, as does a friend of his. So, here are a few of this jeep that is still owned by the Wailea Hotel in Maui (boy, after today’s cold weather, Maui is sounding awfully nice!)
More pictures I found on the internet:
And from Colin, you can see the jeep prior to the stenciling:
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was listed at $1500.
“1950 Willys Pick Up – Runs and drives with plow mount and pump No Title $1500”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This looks pretty good for the price. Note the front frame rails have been bent a little. As noted in the ad, the body has been repaired, most obviously at the passenger step.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000.
Well, it’s not ‘completely restored’, as it has a few wrong parts. However, it looks like a nice jeep that will be available until the price drops.
“I have a completely restored 1948 jeep willys cj2. It is in perfect condition I’m asking 20,000.00 OBO. Has very low miles. Runs perfect”
UPDATE: **SOLD** … Was listed at $12,495.
There are some minor issues that keep this from being a completed restoration, but this looks solid.
“1945 WWII Willys Jeep (MB) with .50 Cal Machine Gun
This is an authentic WWII U.S. Army 1945 Willys Jeep (MB) with a real M2 .50 Cal. ‘Ma Duce’ (non-firing) Machine Gun, both in great condition.
GUN:
The .50 Cal MG has all original gun parts except the left and right side panels. The gun can be made to fire propane but can NOT be made to fire live ammunition and therefore does not require any special permits.
The charging handle operates perfectly just like an original gun and will cycle ammunition. A belt of display ammo is included as is a WW2 .50 ammo box.
The mount is also an authentic military MG mount and is NOT a repop or home built mount.
Included is an authentic military canvas gun cover, NOT homemade or a repop and a .50 Cal Gun Crate built from original military specs to carry and store the gun when on the Jeep.
Please note that the gun will be sold with the Jeep and will NOT be sold separately under any circumstances or offers.
JEEP:
The Jeep runs like a champ and starts up every time.
The vehicle was restored by me a few years ago and has been used in a movie, TV program, parades and car shows.
The engine is war time engine with the correct T-84 transmission. It’s been converted to a 12 volt system but contains many 6 volt parts for appearances purposes.
Engine compartment contains all accurate parts as would appear on a 45 Willys such as fuel filter, fuel pump, air cleaner, oil can, horn, regulator box, lube chart and grease gun.
The ‘tub’, is also an original war time tub and is in great condition (NOT a repop). The frame is in good condition but has been repaired. A rebuilt war-time frame, primed and ready to install is available but is NOT included in the sale.
All US stars and markings are exact and accurate to 1945 WW2 Jeep of the ETO.
Canvas top, seats, windshield cover are all brand new from Beachwood Canvas.
Includes five original WW2 combat rims (not repop).
The Jeep is all there as it stands and does not need anything to make road and car show ready, but for those who would like to tinker on it there are few minor items that could be finished off.
The Jeep is currently registered and insured here in Nevada with a clear Nevada title. Out of state buyers are responsible for pickup, but transportation is available to some locations at an additional cost. Payment is to be in cash or certified bank check that would be cashed on delivery before the title is signed over.
No out of state or country ‘check scammers’ will even be considered.
Asking price for the Jeep with the gun as it stands is $12,500.00”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
I *think* this has a rear PTO, too. It appears in good shape.
