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: More pics available and price dropped to $900. Are those mini hood scoops on the front?
(12/31/09) This has a solid back, so it’s possible this is a WWII jeep of some kind. However, it’s pretty rough looking.

The engine is a 292 ford. And since it has a Motorcraft carburator I would say it is probably early 60’s.
Thanks Kenny,

The grill looks odd to me… It appears like a slat in the 3rd pic but not in the motor pic?
It might look slightly weird due to the lack of a radiator, which lets light slip through behind the grille. I think it makes the tines look narrower than normal. I don’t think the headlights on the outside help either.

i have been curious about this jeep. i called the back in november but was discouraged that it didn’t have a title. however as he has relisted it i might go take a look this week (i’ll be driving through spokane.)
he says its a 41 but i haven’t been able to find that there was an mb made in 41..
so if i do go look at it can anyone tell me hat to look for to correctly acertain just what it is?
thanks
Hi bluejeans,
Here’s a great resources for learning about MBs/GPWs. http://wwiijeepparts.com/Archives/JeepSerialNumber.html#WWIISerialNumbers
According to the site, there were almost 8,600 MBs made during 1941, all of which would have had slat grilles vs. the stamped grilles that became common on most MBs and GPWs.
One important feature you’ll be looking for is the lack of a glove box in the dash. If it is an MB body, but has no glove box, then it’s likely to be an early MB (while the grille could be swapped out, it’s much harder to swap the glove box into the dash).
A word of caution: this jeep is in pretty rough condition. I’m not sure if there is much value there or not based on the pics. I’d have to check this one out in person to really say much about it.
Best of luck,
– Dave
thanks dave… i’ve save that page to my laptop so i can check it if i go look at it.
