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 for $3000.
I can’t tell a whole lot from the pic.

UPDATE: Jim talked to the owner. This truck had a pop up wrecking arm in the bed. This is now on eBay. I have added some pics.
Mark just let me know about this FC for sale over t jeeptruck.com. It sure looks like a good price.

Overall condition is descent for a 1959 truck. Some rust on all the normal places for this year of truck. I tried to get pictures of all areas. You will have to email me if you want to see more pics. Only am posting 4 pictures. Have 20+ to send if needed. The truck also has what looks like a bed mounted tow system in the bed, but is currently just sitting loose in bed. The sys is a elect/hyd system. Whole unit folds down into a bifold compartment. I do not have the title, but do have bill of sale.”
UPDATE: This appears to have sold. Thanks Jay. Was listed at $9000.
This looks like a nice combo, but the jeep doesn’t run.
“Jeep is a 1943 ford and the trailer is a 1944 willys, The body on both are in great shape, the motor turns over but will not start. The oil pump gear that turns the disturbutor is stripped. A VFW owned it up untill I picked it up 10years ago and it was always kept inside.’
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
This looks like a good price.
“1947 JEEP, 4cyl flathead, runs great, has headlights that work, 12volt, first 2500 takes away, clear title”

Mostly stock, but not “all very stock”.

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was on eBay.
(05/14/2011) This will need some body work underneath. The seller includes a large number of good images.
“Wow priced for a quick sale, This is a very nice restorable 1961 willys jeep- starts up and runs. Will need the normal stuff – but the great news is a solid frame!!!!!!!!!!! yes you can save the money do the body work yourself or for those who can’t buy one. anyway you will have the real deal, heads will turn when you are riding in this one, everyone will want it. Please call or email with any questions”
UPDATE: A Buyer bought this through the ‘buy now’ button. It will be restored.
“You are bidding on a 1942 Slat Grill Willys mb. The serial number is MB 114517 DOD is 1/27/42 the Toe gusset # is 17920.
The Frame tag and dash data plate match.
Overall the jeep would make a great restoration project. Please take the time to go through all the pictures I’ve attempted to leave nothing out.
The jeep comes with a lot of the hard to find ORIGINAL parts such as an actual slat grill grill, Gas Gauge, 5 mph increment speedo (needs work the needle is broken), 30/30 amp guage, hinged filtertte, Rear seat, top bows, bumper, and an STL pintle.
The body is pretty straight and solid with the exception of a patch in the passenger floor board, a little rust in that passenger seam, some skimmed areas of body filler on the tub and rust out in the fuel tank sump and shovel area. The hat channels are decent but some will need a little repair. Again this is a very nice solid start (PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES IN SLIDE SHOW)
The frame is very nice and has the original bumper gussets and frame tag.
The motor does run when hot wired and the jeep rolls easy. The T84 transmission transfer all seemed to function just fine.
The motor is a bit of a mystery as the boss where the serial number should be is completely unstamped. The casting at the lower part of the engine is correct for what should be in a slat so I think it would pass a two foot test and I guess you could stamp the boss with what you want if you wanted it to pass for the actual original motor. The head is an early one with the two bolt thermostat.
I do have a number of other parts that will be included such as top bow brackets, body handles, and voltage regulator; These are all pictured in the slide show which has over 160 pics. (IF IT FAILS TO LOAD THE FIRST TIME HIT REFRESH AND if you still you still have problems let me know)
Don’t miss your chance to own this great Slat grill MB project, It has a lot of the hard and nearly impossible to find parts and a ton of potential.
I do have an open clear Idaho title from the last owner and I can put it in my name if this is any what of an issue for you.”
