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 .

“1943 Willy’s MB, original Flathead 4 cylinder motor Willy’s go devil engine, 3 speed Manuel. Willy’s stamped on back panel. Original World War Two Jeep needs some work everything original except wheels, tires and gas tank”
This was reconditioned by the Moore Company. There were 2,443 jeeps done by them. It has since gone through other alterations.
“Here is a rare 1942 Ford flat fender. It is running, not the original engine (Chevy 6 cylinder). It has the badges from the military stating it has been reconditioned to be used by civilians! Please email me with a reasonable offer as I will have to drive it an hour for you to see in person. I will only respond to emails.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
No description.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3850.
The rear wheel wheels have been trimmed some.
“Very good project. New brakes drums and a new hub on one wheel, rebuilt starter, newer gas tank, new clutch pedal, and LOTs of new and used parts that I have for it, that have yet to be needed or installed, including electronic distributor, and a brake master cylinder. Its very mechanically sound. I had the head milled, and put a new head gasket on it. All it needs is a battery charge, and new gas and she’ll run and drive like the day she rolled off the assembly line. I have a mechanics manual for it too. Price is negotiable, however low ballers need not apply. I don’t have to sell it, and its garaged so I’d just assume keep it than let it go for a low ball price. Also keep in mind, its a project jeep, so if you pick it apart and tell me everything you find hoping to get it cheap, I’ll just walk away. I’m not an asshole, but this isn’t my first time selling on craigslist. Call or text.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8800.
(11/26/2016) Has an incorrect grille. Drain holes are filled. Other minor changes.
“Older restoration, good body and interior. Cranks and runs great, just replaced engine. Over $10,000.00 invested including initial buy. The seats are not original but were used to accommodate a bigger driver, (I’m 6′ 2” and 300 pounds) but I have the original seats and some spare parts. The complete electrical system was replaced by Claxton Auto Electric four years ago and it is converted from 6 to 12 volt system. Jeep has 82nd Airborne paint scheme and Michelin road tires versus the old military “knobbie” tires for a better ride on the highway. I have only put 1,000 miles on it, using it for local parades, etc. Four wheel drive works perfectly but has only been used on highway the seven plus years I have owned it. Only serious buyers need to respond, I’m very close on my price; cash only…..no trades.”
Rolling chassis. Seller lists the year as a 1954 (obviously wrong), but it doesn’t appear to have reversed front springs to me, so I’d say more like ’57 or later.
“1954 jeep Willy’s very solid needs restored. No motor no trans . 1,200 firm do not need help selling. Vehicle is located in Cuba MO. Please text or email for questions”
