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 .
Steve let me know that these to jeeps were auctioned this past weekend. One was supposed to be a completely NOS, non-restored jeep in mint condition. However, I thought the data plates looked a little too shiny? There is a good shot of them late in the video. The MB sold for $24,000. The restored GPW sold for $25,000.
Here’s the link to the video:

It’s claimed in the video that the ’44 MB is original and unrestored, with zero miles. Yet, it has an incorrect hood number, one of the most basic and important pieces of information for a WW2 jeep. Maybe it is worth $24k, but my red flag sure went up.
I would question that as well. An original, unrestored 44 MB for $24,000 seems cheap to me.
The lack of 1/2-door sockets is a sure sign of a reproduction body. I have seen some really nice unmolested MBs and GPWs. They don’t look anything like this one. Shame on Wayne for this blatant misrepresentation. Let the buyer beware…………. -RG
Seeing as there was a mostly original, but rough, 43′ GPW barn find that sold in NJ a couple months ago for $19k, this is certainly cheap for “NOS”. I agree with Richard about the half door snaps, too. On top of that, the data tags do seem awfully unique as well.
