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.
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: Price dropped to $2850.

“I think the photos explain it all ,the engine does run. Please come take a look if you’re interested. I will probably not answer any questions unless you come look at it.”
Bill shared these two “water/flood damaged” jeeps. I suspect this was from the recent hurricanes. Neither jeep has been assigned to a specific auction yet, so no bidding can be done.
This has some non-stock items.

John shared this auction for an MB rebuilt in Europe, along with a trailer.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1944-willys-mb-4
“This Willys MB is said to have been refurbished in Europe and was imported to the United States before it was purchased by the current owner in 2017. The truck is finished in olive drab green with US Army–style graphics, and power comes from a 134ci “Go-Devil” flathead inline-four paired with a three-speed manual gearbox and a dual-range transfer case. Equipment includes 16″ steel wheels, military tires, a rear-mounted spare, turn signals, a folding windshield, a tan soft top, a rear pintle hitch, pioneer tools, a jerrycan, seats with tan canvas cushions, a dash-mounted rifle holder, and radio equipment. The accompanying single-axle utility trailer is equipped with taillights, a canvas top panel, and troop-style seating with tan cushions. This Willys MB and trailer are now offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner with canvas doors and side panels, an inoperable rifle, and Arizona titles for both the Willys and the trailer.”
TJ shared this MB chassis with a few mods.

“I believe this is a 1943 Willy’s mb or gpw not shure. It was a working project but i found another hobby and ran out of funds. So I’m selling as is, has a new set of tires and has been sitting for about 3 years. Has all the seats that need upholstery. The engine runs but fuel tank has a leak , the clutch needs adjusting and never got to it. I put new gages and rewired electrical, like I said it’s a working project, the frame has a serial number 50675 stamped on it . I have no title for this vehicle, so I’m selling as salvage. I also have extras that will go with the sale , 2 gal. Military green paint new, also have another extra engine like the one on the photo placed on an engine mount see photo, also the original radiator and a set of 5 rims for that type of vehicle, and lots of other parts. All go with this sale. I am retired and and will be moveing to a smaller home cant take everything with me so selling all as is.”
UPDATE: price dropped to $10,920.
(09/30/2024) Listed as a 1941, this lacks the correct grill, but appears to have an MB frame. It also appears to have GPW tool lids. There is no glove box. This might be a compilation of parts? Note that the hubs are stamped “Allstate” and likely are rebranded Husky hubs. Also, the tires are branded “Allstate”.

This is a project of some type. The body looks to be a replacement body, so hard to tell if this has a WWII or CJ chassis/

“Slatgrille Willys jeep, of the roughly 650,000 jeeps made in WWII only the first 26,000 were “slatgrilles” this jeep is rough with a ton of bondo and fiberglass slathered everywhere but the tub is still restorable, I have repaired much worse. It has the original axles, t84 trans and transfer case. From the front crossmember to the rear the frame is very solid but the original front frame horns have been heavily modified and need replacements. The motor is not original and total junk. It comes with a bill of sale. I do have a 1942 title i will throw in. I may trade for a less rare but better condition military or Cj2a project, an M151 project would definitely get my attention. 570 two38 1591.”

Joe-in-Mesa’s friend Keith shared pics of this Hawaii-Style looking jeep. Keith is willing to sell it, but also wants to learn more about it.
To me, it looks like something someone brought to the US Mainland from Hawaii. You can compare this to the others we have documented here: http://www.ewillys.com/tag/hawaii-body/
If you have interest in it, feel free to email me and I’ll pass along Kieth’s info: [email protected].
