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 .

There appears to be some rust, but otherwise this looks clean. The seller says it needs assembly, so maybe it doesn’t look like this anymore?

Looks like a good restoration.
“Very rare 1942 Willys ‘Slat Grill’ MB with original numbers matching 4 cylinder 60 hp, 134ci L-head ‘Go Devil’ engine with only 1660 miles on it!. Only 200 ‘slat grills’ are estimated to have survived through 2006, according to Army Motors, the official magazine of the Military Vehicle Preservation Association. The last Willys Slat Grill was S/N 125807 – this one is SN 124833 and was delivered to the US Army on March 5, 1942. A full frame-off rebuild was completed in 2009 and she has appeared at hanger dances, parades, Veteran Day’s events, air shows, and USO shows. This is a true show vehicle and not something you take to the bush for hunting. It comes complete with an all canvas top, shovel and axe attached to the side, upgraded brakes, a 12 volt electronic ignition system, and a copy of a M1 Automatic Carbine on the dash. This is a true gem and is garaged – does not sit outside in the weather. A rare opportunity to get a piece of history. Soon enough these will only be found in museums or in private collections. A rare piece of US history to be admired. Shipping or transportation is the responsibility of the buyer. Taylor’s transport does excellent shipping from Canada to USA at reasonable prices. Seller reserves the right to pull the listing if sold before the auction ends. Good luck and thanks for bidding.”
UPDATE: This sold quickly for $5000.
This looks like a great candidate for a restoration.
“This is a 1945 ford gpw military jeep. As far as I know it was only issued to the navy.It belonged to my grandfather who lived in northern Nevada (home of the top gun naval air base) where this jeep spent it’s entire life.It is a dry western vehicle as the pictures show,and has only a few rust-outs along the axe and shovel mounts.this was a radio jeep and so it has a power junction box on the pass. side.Has many accessories intact including: spare tire and mount,jerry can and mount,axe and shovel mount, ball hitch, pintle hitch, antenna power socket,rifle mount tabs,hand-operated windshield wipers, all gauges,data plates and knobs,black-out fender light,original jack,tire iron,and aux.starter crank and tow bar. also there are some new in box spare parts including timing gears and tune up kit.Unfortunately,there is a small crack on the water jacket side of the engine but all other parts of the running gear are good and as the pictures show most of the body including the floors, tool boxes, dash, seats, fenders, and wheel wells are almost immaculate. With a little work this jeep could be show quality. Send message through e-bay or call 1-775-442-0142. Also,I have a friend who is a pro auto shipper and has shipped this jeep before.He is very reasonable and can ship anywhere in the U.S. Thank you for looking!”

This has a MB block with a GPW head. It has no title.
“Take a look at this beautiful 1945 Ford GPW, serial number 247613, date of delivery January 1945. This jeep has undergone a frame off restoration and is perfect for parades, re-inactors, and collectors. This started out as a hunting camp jeep rescued from a camp in Gettysburg Pennsylvania two years ago.
It underwent a frame off restoration done by me over the past several months. I have owned over 24 jeeps and have restored about 17 of them, several MB’s, GPW’s and CJ’s have sold successfully on e-Bay.
The frame was in good shape but needed new front frame horns. It had the wrong body on it and the previous owner put in a civilian flat head L-head engine. The body and that engine were removed and a professionally rebuilt MB engine with a GPW head was put into this jeep as well as a new reproduction DL Bensinger Body.
Everything has been gone through on this jeep and everything has been cleaned, repainted, or replaced with new, NOS, or repro parts.

Rebuilt steering box and drag link with original re-painted steering wheel. New rear bumperettes, original F-marked pintle hook. 4 new 6×16 6 Ply NDT tires on excellent blasted and repainted combat rims. Spare is a few years older NDT on excellent combat rim.
Engine: An original MB engine that was rebuilt by PROMAR engine rebuilders was put into this jeep. Professionally rebuilt W-O carburetor, new fuel pump, rebuilt manifolds and new gaskets, new 12 volt alternator, new coil, new wiring, new battery, new hoses, new belts, new 180 degree t-stat, new temp. gauge, new ammeter, new fuel gauge and sender, new fuel lines, new plugs and wires. Professionally repaired radiator and new cap.
Body: Bensinger MD Juan GPW body kit; new tub, fenders, grille, windshield including new glass, hood, seats, new fuel tank, new top bows, brackets and hardware, new canvas seats and top (Canvas is Beachwood Canvas), repro. shovel and axe, original 1945 dated gas can, repro. water bucket, rebuilt authentic blackout lights, new headlights and tail-lights, repro data plates.
Misc: All new modern electric, all cloth covered wires, all new gauges, all lights, all new switches work properly. Wiring harness and switches modified to work for regular driving and parades and re-inacting – not for 1940’s war conditions.

http://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/3293228062.html
UPDATE: Status unknown. Was listed at $4800.
(06/10/2012) The paint job isn’t all that nice (especially the engine compartment) and I suspect that isn’t the original bumper, but otherwise this looks pretty stock.
“all original, flat head, 4 cylinder, 3 speed, runs good.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Fuel pump needs replacing, but looks solid.
“1960 Willys CJ3B for sale. This Willys has the Super Hurricane six cylinder rather than the normal four cylinder. I bought it about 1 1/2 years ago as a project but work committments and other hobbies have taken the time. It’s a great straight vehicle really. The fuel pump is out and needs to be replaced. Body is straight and in very good shape as is the frame.
Shouldn’t take much to get this to a good driver condition and would make an excellent restoration candidate.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
This looks nice.
“Want to trade a 49 Willys 4×4 pickup, runs and drives great, trade for 70’s-82 corvette”

“1947 Willys CJ2A. All orginal. Very good condition. Runs great. Seat in rear is easily removable. Clean Title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
This might be worth a look if the body really is good. The passenger rear quarterpanel certainly has some dents.
“This is a 1949 CJ2A Jeep. It is a 4 cylinder 3 speed. It runs good, and has a good body. Please call me with any questions you have, or to set up a time to come look at it”
Here’s a wagon that appears to have the unusual Willys Overland bumper sculpture. I can’t quite make it out clearly to know for sure.
“Family jeep, has been outfitted with winch system and boom for hunting, minor rust, need minor repairs but runs. Also comes with tire chains for snow.”
http://littlerock.craigslist.org/cto/3290965265.html

(09/12/2012) This looks like a good restoration candidate. It also has the early fold down grille like the M-38s.

This wagon has Dan stumped. He writes, “I am stumped what this 1955 wagon is. It has the grill, gauges, etc. of a 1950s wagon, but the panel doors of a Parkway Conversion BUT the sliding windows of a regular wagon. It also is 2×4. If it were a 1960s wagon, I’d chalk it up to WIllys end-of-the-run production variances. Maybe it’s just a special order.”
“1955 Willys Station Wagon. This wagon has a very solid body, body and paint completed 12 months ago. It has a mustang front end which means disc breaks and easy steering.
The engine is a Mopar wide block Polly head 318 with 10.5 to 1 compression ratio,
It runs strong, it was probably out of a 1970 truck. 2 barrel carb for good gas mileage. Not sure what the rear gears are but it cruises fine on the Highway.
Automatic transmission, 747, which was rebuilt two thousand miles ago.
It has very rare ambulance back doors so it is easy to load.
For the last nine years I have enjoyed driving her as a daily driver.
I am asking $14,000”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This was a barn find that has had some work done.
“This Jeep just began rolling the streets after it was in a barn for over 20 years. I arested the surface rust on the outside and it still remains to be adressed underneath. The tool box is shot but still holds some gear. Surface rust uinderneath is not bad. The tool box area is the worst. The jeep has a couple spots on the floor level on the outsides that needs cut out, patched and painted but not bad. I put a 12 volt alternater and lights in the unit and new emergency breaks. New plugs, points and condenser. I replaced the main break and fuel line and fuel tank. New master break cylinder. I had to repair the fuel pump attachment. One bolt was sheared off and it was inop. I have an extra fuel filter on it now too. I love to four wheel drive in it. There is no stoping it. I get so much attention from Every age group that its embarrasing. I drive with the windshield down. There is no glass in the passenger side. No seat belts as of yet. All the lights work and are new. I installed one break light. The horn is a jewell and people love to hear it. There is no top or roll bar. I like it as origional as possible. Simple, clean and fun and handy. Can deliver.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500.
Nice Jeepster.
“1949 Willys Jeepster fully restored six-cylinder / convertible. Clear title. Excellent investment and also a great toy!”
