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: Still Available
(07/10/2010) The seller says it is a daily driver.

I’m assuming both run, drive and stop based on the “all-in-good-working-order” comment.
“1948 green Jeep CJ2, engine, transmission, running gear, frame, all in good working order. 1949 yellow Jeep CJ3, engine, transmission, running gear, frame, all in good working order. Engine needs valve job. Both Jeeps would be great for a frame-up restoration. $3000.00 for both.”

Status Unknown. Was $1400.
“Anyone have interst in a 1947 CJ2A (serial #129382) with Jeep-a-Trench option. Unit is complete but chains are all locked up due to rust. Pictured is the well pulling attachment on the front of the jeep. That has been removed and is not included in the sale. The rest of the jeep is mostly complete including the following options: pto controler, shaft, rear gear box, 90 degree gear box (minus the drum), top bows, ag weight, and governor (minus the governor handle). The engine is siezed but has no noticable cracks. Jeep does not have a title. The body is ruff but not a complete basket case. Jeep rolls easily but the steering column is frozen. The wheels still turn side to side by hand so loading on trailer will not be a problem.”
Probably a simple fix regarding the alternator issue.
“This jeep runs and drives great but not holding charge, i think that it may need a new battery also needs new brake lines. I have new top and doors for the jeep, and lots more. CALL MIKE AT 1757-695-0383.”

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.”

UPDATE: This is now on eBay. Though there are now more pics, none of the pics show the rear.
(07/25/2010) None of the pictures shows the rear. The passenger side rear appears to show some damage/rust at the edge of the picture.
“Attention collector’s, Willys fans, or farmers…runs great! Use 2WD or 4WD. Body has some rust on floor. Side steps and floormats included. Spare tire mount damage but can be straightened. Windshield intact and works, wipers, hood, headlights, seats, seat belts, etc. all good. No top.”
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.
