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 .

I assume the stamped parts have a “F” rather than a “GPW”.
“The vehicle has been restored from the frame up. I have paperwork on the parts that are stamped with the “GPW” all other parts are after market. The jeep is in very good condition with the low mileage of 200 miles. I had a replica 50 caliber flame thrower made by the manufacturer who made the props for the movie “saving private ryan” this included in the deal.

Matching numbers and engine cranks over.
“I bought this not too long ago, but bills have come up and something has to go. This jeep is very complete. The data plates, frame and even original ford engine all match! The engine turns over. I had the starter rebuilt. New plugs, wires and coil. I got the engine cranking, but can’t get it to fire. I think it’s a timing issue? There are tons of F marked items. Many original parts. Bows and brackets, all 5 combat rims, spare tire holder, sparton horn, fuel strainer etc… Sorry, but no rear seat. The main issue is the body which is rusted out around the gun mount area and gas tank. The original gas tank is here, but it is rusted through in spots. Looks like this jeep was never repainted. The hood numbers are here as well as the rear panel stars. I went through all the pain and paperwork and got a bonded title on this. YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT. THIS HAS A TRANSFERABLE TITLE IN MY NAME.”

“This is an original, 1942 Army Jeep. It was built in April, 1942 and still has the data plates. This jeep is as complete and rust free as you will ever find. This jeep was my daily driver since 1993 and has always been garaged. DMV registration is current.
This jeep comes complete with all five 2-piece rims (no tires), rifle rack and aftermarket canvas top. There are numerous extra parts, including the original carburetor, 6-volt generator and fire extinguisher. The engine block is cracked and needs to be rebuilt or replaced. The original transmission and radiator have been rebuilt. I have all receipts for repairs and parts. This jeep can be restored to museum quality or used as a daily driver. Do not compare this to incomplete, non-working jeeps found outside in yards.”

Gerald is selling his GPW.
“1942 Ford GPW Military Jeep s/n 66717 Delivery date 9-21-42. Great candidate for a restoration project. Original frame, bodyand drivetrain are all there but will need attention.
Original grab handles, spare tire carrier, steering wheel, seat frames, headlight buckets and many of the small parts have been removed and are solid. They are F script.
In fact, Body, frame and engine block s/n all match dash plate. That is very rare! This will be it’s first rebuild. It was in the United Kingdom in 58 and was titled in Pennsylvania in 59. So it came back home and must of seen WWII action.
This is a survivor who needs to be saved. Breaking up the parts would be a shame. It’s had many coats of paint, exposure and a partial disassembly. And yes rust, but there is plenty to work with.
I’ve never had this Jeep running so operating condition is unknown but I’m sure its had quite a life. Don’t think this is a cream puff. She has seen some action and will need lot’s of attention.
This was one of the earlies Jeeps made from the Willys design and is almost 70 years old. Let’s keep this Veteran Rolling.
Local pick-up and cash talks. Thanks”
This appears to be a good price.
