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 .
And who has this MB?
“1944- Ward Canaday, President of Willys-Overland, drives the 200,000 Jeep built in Toledo off the line on April 4, 1944. Mr. Canaday helped the company get a contract to make Jeeps during WWII, producing 363,000 of the total of 648,000 wartime Jeeps.”

Cool, and no rust!
It would be great to have this jeep and be able to have an original photo of it when it was new
I like that idea.
Would be interesting to know what became of this one.
Hmmmm…. MB200000 I believe was delivered the last week of December 1942 or first week of January 1943. Yet, the jeep pictures had a hood with grease gun bracket (see four bolts on the driver side of hood), which was not added until late 1944 or early 1945.
I take that back. I keep forgetting the first standardized WW2 Jeep started with SN# MB100001. Which means the Jeep pictured is MB300001(?)
You had me confused until I went back to the serial numbers.
Your example would be the 100,000th jeep not 200,000th. The 200,000th would be MB300000 in early 1944. In fact, the april photo seems a little late for MB300000. 🙂
