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: **SOLD**
“This is a 1945 Jeep Willys MB (ID plate on the frame is: MB 435254), which means that this is a late-production MB with a date delivery around April 1945. The body has a few minor dents in the rear, the rest of the body is straight. Overall, it’s pretty solid. No rust, starts, runs and stops.”
Looks like he found a nice jeep. I too have been looking for a jeep for many months and finally found one. Mine will need some work over the next year, a CJ2A with a Buick V6 and T-90.
Hi Craig,
Send me some pics. I’d love to see what you found. You can email me at d@ewillys.com
Thx,
– Dave
Dexter – do you have the serial number on the frame?
BTW – my wife is from the Philippines and I’ve been over many times.
Hi Simon! Nice to e-meet you. With Dave’s help, I’m just now learning more about these older Jeeps. Can you tell me exactly where to look on the frame? Thanks!
Nice find!! What type of PTO winch is that on there?
Dexter – the following link tells you where to look: http://www.1943mb.com/a-33-G503_WWII_1943_Willys_MB_Jeep_Finding_your_Frame_number.aspx
Dave’s site is great – I found it about 6 months ago and have been hooked ever since. I have a ’43 Willys MB and just bought a ’42 Willys MB rolling chassis which I am restoring.
Cheers
Simon
Simon. Thanks for the link. I was able to locate the tag on the frame, and it states MB 435254
WindyHill–The only info I can find on the winch is . . .

Dexter – that makes it a late production MB with a date of delivery around April 1945.
The tub looks interesting, it has a CJ2 type fuel cap but also has the pioneer tool indents as well as a glovebox. Does it have tool boxes on each side of the back of the tub?
Simon, do you mean the fuel cap or fuel inlet on the body? The fuel inlet is definitely an aftermarket add on as it’s put at an angle rather than having the ‘point’ of the inlet at the top.
The tool box’s might be covered by the backs of the roll bar.

Simon — Thanks for the info.
I posted a few videos here:

Dave — as you will see on the first video, the two tool boxes in the rear are accessible.
Well, they sure are accessible! Great videos .. those are very helpful.
I hadn’t noticed the hole in the hood. I’ll be posting some pics tonight with a flattie that shows how they dropped the engine and tranny to avoid the ‘hole in the hood’ problem caused by putting the F-heads in the flatties.
– Dave
I meant the fuel inlet. I can see from the videos that you have the tool boxes at the back. It also looks like the underside of the hood had the lubrication chart holder (it would have been where the darker green rectangle is).
Hey Dexter – how come your selling?
Hey Simon. I’m taking my family to the Philippines next week. Basically, I need the money.
Have a good trip – my wife is from Laoag City, Ilocos Norte – are you going anywhere near there?
I lived near Laoag for a few years. If I recall, it was a town called San Nicola/Dingras. You’re wife would know. But I’ll be spending most of my time in a town about 8 hours south of Ilocos Norte.
Dexter, I currently own your car and I am completly restoring it in The Netherlands. Can you contact me? I would like to get in touch with you. Greetings, Frank
