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 $1500.
(05/14/2012) The grille isn’t from a ’46. Otherwise looks pretty stock.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9250
(09/12/2011) Looks nice. It appears to lack data plates.
“Parade or combat ready.
New tires and seat canvas.
No canvas top
12 volt system
Brake booster
Power take off winch in working order”
This looks pretty solid. One of the commenters believes this might be an early GPW.
“Up for auction is my Jeep Willys MB in very restorable condition. Very solid body and no rust on frame.(Don’t let the pictures confuse you) The only rust on the body is on both sides of the head channels, approx. 4” long. Can be repaired without removing panels. 5 Original Combat rims with all new tubes & tires. Engine turns by hand. Tranny, 4 wheel drive, Hi/Low levers move freely as they should. Vehicle stears nicely and rolls freely.
My opinion is that this is an easily restorable project. The vehicle is 90% there, all original including almost all original E C marked bolts and early zipper style cushions. (see pics) There is the original front bumper and wooden filler. I believe that the body was never taken off the frame. Vehicle has clean transferable title. It is titled as a 1943 Jeep Willys Ut, which I’m not sure is accurit, since I don’t have the original data plates. Vehical originally came from California.
Please examine all pictures closely, so you can see what you’re bidding on and all that is included in this auction. Here is a link to the photo album of 90 pictures:

This looks very nice, though the drain hold near the step looks filled in, so I’d check out the body closely.
“1948 Willys jeep–IMMACULATE condition. New tires, shocks and bikini top. All original under the hood. I’m selling the vehicle because my new house doesn’t have adequate garage space to properly store the vehicle. I have $6000 in the vehicle but am selling it for $5000. This is a firm price so only call if you are serious. My cell is 318-617-4716.”

The paint on this looks weathered, or brushed or something odd. The body corners at the passenger and driver entrances have an unusual addition.

Mitch spotted this jeep and asked my opinion. I said that someone lazily painted everything red — the frame, the hmbs, the bolts, and more — which usually suggests that someone was simply trying to cover what is there (rust, dirt, etc). I also suspect that underneath the diamond plating in the back are holes or rust or something. It looks like there is some denting on the driver rear quarter panel, but that could be an optical illusion.”
Here’s another one Mitch spotted. The paint is faded and their is some rust along the real tailgate. I’m surprised to see a pintle on the back of this also.

(05/06/2012) “I have a 1945 Jeep MB for sale. It has everything right with it and it has everything wrong with it. By that I mean that most components show wear, but they are all there in the original form. Most are the original to the Jeep. The engine, frame, body, and trans #’s match and most other components are the original that came with the vehicle, even the horn. Its got a little rust in the common areas, but the body is the one that came from the factory. Of course there are replacement parts but they are high quality reproductions. The tires are virtually new NDT (~100 miles) and the wheels are split rims. The jeep is not “modified” or “modernized”. It is a good example of an original vehicle, perfect for someone who wants to just drive it or totally restore it.
If you are interested, I can send some photos. Price $ 9000.+ depending on response to ad.
Thank you,
Alex”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

“I am reluctantly selling this beautiful military piece of history. This is a Willys MB Jeep manufactured on February 6, 1943. The previous owner had it frame-off restored with all new or restored parts. He had the engine, transmission, transfer case, and differentials new or replaced. It has the original body with no rust and new paint. The accessories include lube chart (1944), gas can (1945), grease gun, fire extinguisher, oil squirt can, hand crank, and tire pump. It has a brand new master cylinder, wheel cylinder kits (4), and new shoes on all wheels. It has a new top with bows. It has an original Federal siren and all black out lights. It has a relatively new battery purchased from NAPA (12 volt) on 11-14-2010. It is still in warranty. It has brand new rubber molding around the windshield and windshield frame. It has five authentic combat wheels (not reproductions) and one new tube. The tires were replaced and new by previous owner. It has an aged manila tow rope with woven eye-knot ends wrapped on front bumper. A Jeep Technical Manual TM9-803 is included. This is a show quality restored jeep with a clear TEXAS title. This 69 year old piece of military history is ready to start and drive in your neighborhood or in a parade.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4900.
Glenn spotted this one. The paint is funky. The body looks good, best as I can see from the strange paint job. However, for only 8200 miles the engine compartment looks pretty filthy.
“1962 Willys Jeep. 8200 original miles! 4 Speed with working snow plow. Very little rust. I have owned since 1988 and prior to that it was stored in warehouse in NYC. $4900. No papers.”
Unclear if it runs, but looks pretty solid.

Other information
This classic war jeep was rebuilt from the frame up in both Texas and at the highly respected Northland Diesel in Bellingham, Washington. The engine was worked from the crankshaft up, and the transmission, transfer case, and differentials were likewise inspected and rebuilt as required. Items include a new wiring harness, tires on combat wheels, rebuilt carburetor, new seats and paint. In fact every item put back into service with this classic vehicle has been inspected and brought to standard. The owner’s intention was to have this vehicle look and perform like the day it was issued back in 1944. Receipts are available.
This vehicle has well over $28,000.00 invested in purchase and restoration, and is truly a showroom classic.
Also available and reasonably priced are an all-weather top, sides, and rigid doors from Beachwood Canvas (new @ $1350.00in original box), a set of five new road wheels on combat rims (cost new $1370.00) and other original equipment.”

The cab of this looks nice.
“Jeep FC150, 1962, very good condition. Runs

Motor needs work, so I’m guessing it doesn’t run.
“A rare find indeed. All original Jeep Foward Control. Motor needs work, but all parts are there. Very hard to find these things anymore. If you have questions, please call Steve at (218)7796220”

Someone took the time to get some nice pictures with this jeep. It sure makes the jeep look good. I’m not even going to mention that this was the last year for the CJ-3A model, but not for the body (later used by DJs of course).
“Barn find original (mostly) CJ 3A, last year for this body style. 4 cylinder engine runs real smooth, 4WD works, goes down the road and up a trail fine. Licensed for the street, with a clean title ready to sell or trade. respond to craiglist reply. Thanks for looking”
