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 .

(05/09/2011) The outside looks good, but the engine compartment looks like it was sprayed green all at once.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.
(01/11/2011) I suspect this was more likely produced somewhere between 1943 and the beginnings of the CJ-7.
“This is a nice and clean Willys Jeep. It is titled as a 1943 but is most likely a post war model. The serial number is GPW122460 which should help identify it for lovers of these jeeps. It is in great condition. It runs great and has 56,775 miles. New tires and a nice seat covers with a matching top makes this a great looking vehicle. It’s currently registered as an Antique Vehicle and is a great collector item.”
I’m taking Sunday evening off. Besides, a new episode of Downton Abbey is on tonight. Yes, I’m hooked and I blame Ann and her mother for this!
Peter from Germany is making progress on his wagon build. His buddy Thorsten is helping him out with engineering ideas and welding help. You may remember Peter’s quest to locate a 3-wing hood ornament and a door handle, which he found thanks to readers. He notes that he wanted to have it build completely from jeep parts, but deciding to throw in some heated seats from a Mercedes Vito. Personally, that sounds like a good idea to me! Peter says he’ll send some pictures of the build when finished.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250.
Looks pretty good.
“Runs Great! Recently rebuilt motor. Less than 200 hrs on the rebuild. Very Clean Body. F-134 Hurricane
Here is a wonderful military jeep that seems to jump right off the set of M.A.S.H. or any other of your Korean War era shows. I have been out of the country for 2 years but before left I had this jeep registered and would drive it to work to break in the rebuild. On my return the the U.S. I wanted to see how the old jeep was doing. Within 30 sec of tinkering she was roaring to life almost crying to hit the hills.
Sadly I am not going to school now and am in need of some money. Well hey, my loss is your gain. You can call text of send an email. If I do not answer right away I might be in class but I will return your call as soon as possible.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.

Hugo spotted this article about the dually wheel adapter in an April 1949 Popular Mechanics article. I can’t remember seeing duallies on the front.
Bill forwarded the picture of a St. Petersburg Dealership below. That got me searching the net for a few more.
This picture is from Boerne, Texas. I found it here.
This picture is from Spokane, Wa, and the Spokesman Review (and current good view):
Honestly, I’m not sure if this is a real card or not. But, the picture was cool, so I thought I’d post it.
There are a few modifications jeep.
“1945 Willys MB, original Army Jeep, painted with original and correct OD green last year, rebuilt original “Go Devil” L head 4cyl, 3spd out of slightly newer CJ, 4wd works great, 1973 (yes, 39 year old tires) Goodyear Mud Terrain tires on original Willys 16X6 wheels, original gas tank removed and floor patched (previous owner), now has hidden gas tank, dana 44 rear, Wrangler Sahara seats, fires right up every time and runs incredibly smooth.
This is not a perfect jeep. Tires and wheels in the photos are gone and the aforementioned Goodyears are on the Jeep. I purchased it to make it look like it used to with modifications to be used as a fun driver and that it is. If you are interested in something that is not a perfect restoration ready for a museum then give me a call, email or text and we can negotiate a good price and a time to see it. I live in Eugene but the Jeep is in my parents garage over near Newport.
Thanks!
