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: **SOLD** Was $3000.

“Selling my 1943 Willy’s MB. Runs and drives. Have a clean Oregon title in hand. Needs a new 6V battery. Comes with everything needed to do a 4wheel disc brake conversion. Been in the rogue valley since the 50’s. Recovered the original WW2 numbers off the hood. Does have a later model pushrod engine in it. That’s why there is a good scoop on it.”

I have a title for the 1942 but not for the 1943
I have the original Ford pintle hitch for the 1942.
All other drivetrain on both appear original.
Both need restoration. At least a complete floor replacement for one. I was planning on doing a rest tub for one and making one good tub from the other parts.
If the ad is up, they are still available.
No trades. There is no bottom dollar, make an offer.”
Both are projects.

“Original WW2 flat fender. Good candidate for restoration. Body is usable and frame is good minus rear cross member. Floor needs replaced. No transmission, seats, engine, radiator, or fuel tank. Mainly a parts vehicle but where are you going to find another one? You can buy everything you need from a catalog now. These are VERY difficult to find and a true piece of history. Only selling to because I need to finish building my barn and need cash.”

(10/19/2018) “Its finally time to let this one go. I’ve owned it for 7 years. The body is in excellent condition. It drives and runs great. I have a top to go with it also. This Jeep has had the 2.0 engine conversion put into it prior to my purchase. All the axles, transmission and transfer case is original.”

“1943 ford jeep pink in hand, this jeep has a 1947 studabaker straight 6, runs and drives, has been on non op. Ready to go asking 6500 obo”

This appears to have a CJ head. Not sure what happened to the front frame rails.
“1943 jeep willys Clean title non op. Engine was rebuilt about 4 years ago. Have lots of extra parts for it. Has little rust on the floor but nothing major. If interested call me. Do not text me or email me.$ 7500 obo I don’t need help selling it. And the only thing I will trade is for a 1970 chevelle.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
The front gussets have been removed and the frame reinforced. The rear lids appear to be MB (flat), but I the angle isn’t good to get a full view of them. The engine and tranny are civilian (not *period correct*, but functional). I’m sure it would make a fine parade jeep.
“This is one of the cleanest GPW’s you will find. Clean CA title in my name. Body is mint, likely rebodied or a lucky survivor? Many of the components have yet to be drilled or mounted. The frame is all ford as evidenced by the front cross member. Engine is Willy’s flat head, trans is t90, all period correct and acceptable conversions. I have the parts shown in the photo along with new data plates, and two f script front seat frames that need some work. This vehicle drives well, turns, stops, etc… I thought I would keep it forever but found an older one I had to have. Do your research, I will not negotiate over the phone, come look and fall in love with this great piece of history.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** “Was $1800.
(06/15/2018) Seems to be a mix of MB and GPW parts.
“1943 Willys Ford GPW Jeep. The tub/body is a Willy the Jeep has many GPW parts. Starter and generator are GPW. The motor in the Jeep is not original. I have a ’43 GPW and wanted to use this one for parts but I will never get around to it. The body it toast but there are salvageable parts: glove box, rear compartment doors, and other parts on the exterior. The frame is also in bad shape. Wheels, tranny, differentials, and axles are good. Also comes with another Motor block and GPW head cover.
I can deliver within a reasonable distance for .50 cents a mile. It is in a car hauler and tires are flat so it will have to be pulled off at destination. It will have to be paid in full before I deliver. You can come see.”

“I am selling a mostly Original 1943 Ford GPW WWII Jeep. It Has matching Frame and Tub Data plate numbers (109596) The Block Is a GPW Block and the Head is a Willys. Everything Seems to be original ford and most parts have “f” script markings. The engine is stuck but I have been soaking the cylinders for a month or so. The T-84 transmission and D18 Transfercase seem to be in good shape. The axles appear to be original and there are Dualamatic Locking hubs on the front.You can shift through all gears.
The top has no marking and I don’t know anything about it. It comes with five 15″ wheels that have had the center torched open. It also comes with two 16″ jeep wheels with NDT tires. The original gas tank is missing and there is a non original tank in the back. The tub has some dents and holes in it (bullet holes) there is some rust in the floors and some on the sides as seen in the pictures, but is in decent shape for it age. The front frame horns were extended to fit a large PTO winch but the winch is no longer there. It has a Koenig model 10 single speed PTO mounted to the back of the transfer case. I do not have a title for it.”
