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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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: Still Available.
(05/24/2024) This has a fiberglass tub. Unclear if that’s really the seller’s price.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(07/10/2024) Seems like a fairly stock column shift 2A (probably serial number in the higher 30000s range).

“46 willy’s jeep column shift low serial number great driver clean title. 8k cash takes it. Nothing less.. have the doors and spare in garage.”
Here’s an interesting build. The wood work looks well done.

“1955 Willys Pickup customized from Willys Jeep Station Wagon, 1978 Corvette 327, 1982 GMC S10 Chassis, & T5 Transmission
This unique vehicle combines the classic charm of a ‘55 Willys with the beauty of a woody wagon, and powered by a completely rebuilt 327 engine.
The concept and work has been done by a lifelong craftsman and classic car restorer/enthusiast. This project took careful planning and hundreds of meticulous hours, over a span of eight years.
This video covers Short Cut, a concept compact throwback jeep that lacks a top and doors shared by Bill. The video also describes this jeep as “cheap”, but I suspect the price-point on one of these would still be substantial. If this ever went to production, I expect buyers would be looking for top options at some point.

Thanks to bill, here’s a short video showing a lineup of stainless steel jeeps for sale in the Philippines.
Bill shared this video of a guy walking through and driving a Massimo mini-jeep. I’ve seen ads for these posted in various FB and Craigslist ads, but this is the first video I’ve seen. At $2500 through Tractor Supply, they aren’t a trivial purchase, but I have to say they do look kind of fun!
UPDATE: Forgot the link …
Mike shared what appears to be a good price on a nicely restored Hamilton Jeep.

“Recently restored 1950s Hamilton Jeep pedal car”
This might be a good price. More info on Barnfinds.

“I have a very nice, mostly original 1949 Willys Jeepster VJ2. It runs, stops, and drives very well. It has the original seat covers under protective covers, the original floor mats, again under protective floor mats, and the original interior panels, working heater, instrument cluster, and even the original radio that works. It has the original L134 engine with the 3 speed transmission and the overdrive. The top is after market, but it is custom to accommodate the very rare glass rear window. The beauty wheel trim rings and the hub caps are also original. It has new modern tires. All the chrome work is original and in amassing condition. It has a very small rust area on the passenger side floor behind the front seat. I think this one belongs in a museum or in a private collection that can do it justice.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
This is listed as a 1941 MB, but the tool lids and other items suggest it is a later model GPW. This also has an early set of Allstate branded Husky hubs.
“1941 WILLYS MB JEEP This jeep is ready for restoration for someone who has the passion, knowledge and time (which unfortunately is not us right now). – [ ] Appears to have the original paint and seats. – [ ] All original except for the Allstate locking hubs. – [ ] 4-cylinder; 6-volt system. – [ ] Sitting on 4 good tires (replaced two tubes). – [ ] The engine turns over, but we have not attempted to start it. – [ ] New battery. – [ ] Needs gas tank under driver seat (included but needs repair). – [ ] Lots of original and replacement parts (most still in the boxes). – [ ] Manual with all the info on the vehicle, how to replace, rewire, restore. – [ ] Been in Arizona so only two spots of rust on the passenger floorboard and on the body undercarriage. – [ ] Arizona historic plates. – [ ] Ready to be loaded on a trailer and delivered.”
This seems worth a look. Someone did a nice job of fitting that Ford hardtop onto the jeep.

“This is a legit ’43 Willys MB GPW (WW2 Jeep) with some killer, custom additions! It’s mostly stock, at someone point someone swapped in a ‘newer’ F-Head engine and added the hood bump to clear the carburetor. A cab roof and rear panel were cut from a ’32-33 Ford pickup and fit onto the MB, with the factory visor! The hard doors are home-built. It also has a custom rear step bumper, a couple 5 gallon gas cans in the bed, a draw bar for towing and a killer bench seat in great condition! The body is pretty straight and fairly solid, but there are some spots of rust. Mostly the floor supports under the ‘bed’, as it held water over the years. Unfortunately the F-Head engine is locked up solid… it’ll need a new engine. I do have a clean title in hand for it.”
