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: Was listed at $3000. **SOLD**
Metal looks pretty rusty in the pics.

UPDATE: **SOLD** for $3200.
Runs and drives. Might have an interesting history. I wonder if the ordinance plate indicates it was remanufactured in Japan.

“I have an unrestored 1942 Military Early Flat grill Willy’s (MB) for sale. The first 25,000 MB’s had these flat steel grills. It wears a cosmetic restoration with many decent parts on the jeep and is a nice 25 footer, but is not a restored vehicle. Good original 1942 MB restorable body. Will need correct floors and other items to make a fully functional original World War Two MB. It is complete, the engine is free and looks like making it run should be not a major effort, I bought it to swap out the GPW Ford parts on it, for my GPW. I did replace with 1942 Willy’s MB parts where needed. I will provide a notarized “bill of sale”, I bought last fall and do not intend on restoring this vehicle, I have my hands full with my other jeeps and my small ranch. It is as restorable jeep, but does need TLC. I am currently eliminating many of my project cars I will never finish. I have other vehicles for sale. These are current just taken pictures, please ignore that date on the pictures.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $995. Was restored for 2014 Memorial Day weekend and now in Jeep Plant in Toledo.
“1942 Willys jeep, WWII veteran, MB/M-38 project. 6 cylinder F6-161 Hurricane engine, 90 hp, Dana transmission, transfer case, and rear end (all turn freely). Engine is complete but DOES NOT RUN. Has tow bar for 2″ ball, spare tire, all seats present but no cushions, olive drab color, 2 part windshield
Corrosion on body pans but frame is solid. No data plates found but paperwork in glove box indicated a 1942 model military classic, last registered in Texas 1979. No title! Was found and purchased from junk dealer Wimberley, Tx. I will provide a bill of sale. This project will take a true serious restorer that can do body and engine work. However, you can’t beat the price for this old veteran. $995.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown.
I think the top is my favorite part, though it is showing its age. The seat covers are unique, too.
“Selling this for my father since he is no longer able to drive. This was purchased from the military (Letterkenny Army Depot) in the late 1940s. It has 53,000 ORIGINAL MILES. Has now been started for 3-4 years. The photos were taken about 18 months ago. The tires are all flat but as far as the rest of the jeep goes, it pretty much looks like the photos. Call for more information and a history on the jeep.”
Looks like a good price.

“1942 Military Willy Jeep. Great jeep ready for some TLC. Jeep has been sitting idle for a handful of years but overall in decent condition.”

UPDATE: Was $6700.
I will say the motor fits nicely. But, the resale value would have been far better, and the install price cheaper, if they’d just rebuilt a flathead.
“Restored frame off older restoration. Jeep has all the original appeal with a professional install of a Toyota 20r motor. custom fabricated motor mounts and tranny bell housing. Includes hard to find pto drive (not installed) Sold on a bill of sale already had WSP inspection done and submitted to DOL. Started off life as a farm vehicle never licensed or taken on the road.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
Body is rough and the indents are missing/filled in, but it runs.
“1945 Willys MB for sale by owner. Colorado Title. New brakes and brake lines. A real military classic. Runs, body ruff, and is a good candidate for a complete restoration. About 90% original.”
