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: **Status Unknown** Was $9500.
It’s supposed to have the Willys frame.
“Runs and drives very well with original combat wheels and new tires. This is the rare model with a Willys frame. Here’s a chance to own a rare WWII combat vehicle used by the Army, Marines, Navy and US Air Force or Air Corps during the war.”
Tombstone blackout drive bracket and the Ford script on the rear: nice! But those heater hoses are interesting. Was there a legit military heater option in WWII?
Those are some interesting front frame ends.
Front bumper is not correct. Looks like its mounted in between the gussets.
Joe,
‘Legit’ might not be the right word. Better to take this in steps.
Based on what I’ve seen, no MBs or GPWs came from Willys or Ford with heaters. However, there may have been some motor pools who modified some jeeps for cold weather (I have no specific examples). In my book that would make heaters ‘legit’ if you want to restore a jeep to field specs.
There was a hand crank heater designed by Stewart Warner (and a similar one by the Ypsilanti Machine and Tool company) that was used to heat engines and batteries in cold weather. http://www.ewillys.com/tag/stewart-warner-heater/ whether these heaters were designed during or post war isn’t something I’ve researched.

Thanks, Dave π
Seems like not too bad a price.
