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: Price dropped to $6000.
Looks like a good price.
“This 1943 GPW is in good condition and runs just as well. It drives at top speeds of roughly 55mph 3 speed transmission and the original flat 4 engine that has been modified to a 12v system. This is a fun jeep to own and drive.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
The seller indicates there are 2 CJ-2As for sale, but the pics only show one CJ-2A, though a CJ-3B sits in the background. The other “CJ-2A” is described as having an Fhead, so I suspect the 3B in the background is the other jeep for sale.
“2 – CJ2A Willys Jeeps;
One with factory winch and PTO. L head engine; starts and runs good, brakes – lots of rust!!
Second CJ2A complete with F Head engine, but motor stuck; better condition.
$2,500 for both or $1,500 for running machine.”
This may have some body damage near the passenger drain hole.

UPDATE: Here’s the updated link: https://www.rbb-online.de/fernsehen/programm/18_02_2024/1929740.html
Karl Teuschl, a documentary filmmaker from Germany, included a couple of our Alaska Or Rust folks in his newest film that was released yesterday in parts of Europe (Germany, Austria and Switzerland). It’s a beautiful documentary that covers the Alaska Highway and gives viewers a good sense of the road conditions, the scenery and the feel of driving the highway.
Two of the Alaska Or Rust jeeps appear at the 18:30 mark. The interview with Marty Tilford, Don Brown, Rob and Diane Stafford starts at the 19:38 mark. It ends at 20:30. Most of it is in German. Unfortunately, Ann and I headed south just before the point where we would have met up with Karl, so after six months of emails he and I didn’t get a chance to meet.
L to R: Diana Stafford, Rob Stafford, Don Brown, Marty Tilford
A good shot of the remoteness of the highway.
Nice inclusion of the eWillys sticker :-)

The Bantam Festival will be opening its registration on January 10th. New events this year include a Jeep pull (pulling weighted sled), Jeep decorating, an Invasion after party, some games of Jeepardy, and more.
Tired of the cold? Maybe you should head for Arizona and the 27th Arizona Military Vehicle show January 27th – 28th in Tempe. Our own Joe-in-Mesa will be there with his GPW. The event is sponsored by the Arizona Military Vehicle Collectors Club (AMVCC).

It’s certainly well-equipped, but there aren’t enough pics to tell how original it is or isn’t.

“1957 willys jeep solid , runs great”
For the quality of the rebuild, I don’t understand why this was militarized??

“Meticulously and authentically restored” 1941 MB? With all due respect to Mr. Weinberg, it’s nicely rebuilt, but this has authenticity shortcomings (the grille, the dash, the wheels, and the gas tank for starters).
https://youngstown.craigslist.org/cto/d/1941-jeep-willys-mb-1-4-ton/6444265643.html
“Seller’s Description: 1941 WILLYS MB MILITARY JEEP for sale. Motorcar Classics is proud to present this spectacular 1941 Willys MB Jeep. This genuine WWII Jeep, which saw service in the European Theater, was meticulously and authentically restored by Max Weinberg to honor the military service of his wife, Beckys, father, uncle, and cousin, whose names and service records within the United States Army Signal Corps are inscribed on the right side of the vehicle.
Mr. Weinberg personally researched the history of the Jeep with the Department of defense and its history is documented. The markings, numbers, and military insignias are true to its original configuration. We have never seen a military Jeep restored to such a high standard.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Includes some parts not shown.
“Up for sale I have an original Ford GPW Engine.
The serial number places it in 1943.
The engine has been refreshed, with a new gasket kit, new valves (omix ada), new timing chain (omix ada), and new points for the distributor.
Although not pictured, included is the oil rod, oil spout, flywheel, and the piece of metal that goes between the engine and the flywheel.”
This was published around 1950. It’s less story and more marketing, but still interesting. The argument that the trencher doesn’t affect the roadability of the jeep might be a stretch ….
Starting bid is $680.
“You are bidding on an original slat grill for a 1941 Willys slat grille Jeep. This also includes (2) headlight brackets& 2 small Lt housing.
