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 .
Andy shared this project. It includes a Sears style half cab.

“Car is not running. Needs to be restored. Engine is out in pieces. See pictures. Needs a good home with someone who is looking for a fun project!”
This ad indicates it was placed four years ago, but this is the first time I’ve seen it. Maybe still available? One might be a GPW, but hard to say. The other is likely a CJ-2A.

” I have a WW2 era 1942 Willies jeep/Ford that was originally purchased by my grandfather. It was handed down to my dad and then me. It’s been kept in great shape for its age 82 years of existance, mostly garaged. Everything works, including the new battery, distributer, fuel pump & fuel lines, brakes and brake lines as well. The PTO driven winch was just swapped out for an identical 10K lb rebuilt. You could literally winch yourself straight up a tree. Windsheild can be lowered all the way down. TUBE TIRES, with extreme mud tread makes it almost impossible to get a flat. Added flood lights with a bank of auxiliary switches (for adding on whatever your heart desires; PA, ect.. No rust and starts and drives right now. (Dont forget to double clutch since they didnt have synchro gears way back when.) Asking 12,000 o.b.o.”

It’s a project. It appears to have a Ford frame, but it has MB tool box lids.

“Museum quality WWII army Jeep. Frame of restoration. Runs and drives as it should. Very original”
There could be some value here given the parts. The tub might be a replacement body rather than a GPW body.

UPDATE: **SOLD**
“Registered as a 1946 Willy VIN# on pink slip and registration:GPW52643.
The title is registered to the motor which is a GPW block with a Willy’s mb head.
Clean title & current registration in my name
Toe board gusset serial number:9869
Data plate serial number:113589
DOD 1-20-42
All three original data plates intact, but missing Frame tag
Gpw motor
Correct axels
Original transmission
Body has bondo but overall in good shape for early production slat grille.
Runs and drives
New break lines
New master cylinder
Carburetor rebuilt with nos rebuild kit
12v system
Overall this Willy’s is a perfect candidate for someone who loves WW2 jeeps. Will make a great restoration project for someone. Body does hold some bondo but to be expected with the original body. Floor plans are solid. Frame looks good. Very little rust on the undercarriage, minus the usual gussets.
Very rare only 25,000 of them produced.
UPDATE: **Sold** Was $7500.
John shared this GPW. It will need lots of love!
“1942 Ford GPW Script Jeep with matching serial numbers on the frame, motor and data tag. Definitely a project but pretty rare with the matching numbers. Missing parts include grill,lights,rear seat, air filter, spare tire and carrier, 2 combat rims. Most parts are F marked. Those that aren’t F marked include the windshield and passenger seat. Engine needs one valve tappet freed up. More we’re stuck but we’re freed up with soaking. Engine turns free 1 1/2 turns at which time the stuck tappet stops the rotation. Have not removed head yet but the cylinders, pistons look good and move freely. Body is as shown and the frame will need work on the front rails and rear. Hood needs a patch as shown.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(09/30/2023) Looks solid with a few updates.

“Runs and drives great. You can drive this rig in parades or cruise in the evening. All original look with axe/shovel. Rare M1 windshield gun rack. The tires are original type, matching spare and tow bar on front. Very solid jeep…needs nothing! During World War II, Jeep could not keep up with the demand needed during the campaign, so Ford contracted with the government to make 300,000 Ford GPW Jeeps using Jeep parts and design. Own a Piece of History!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Could be worth a look.
“This a Script Ford GPW in need of a lot of work. Definitely worth saving, however I’m not the guy for this one. It was part of a bulk purchase I did in order to get the one I wanted. It is crusty, but has a motor trans and transfer and axles. Haven’t turned motor, and don’t have paperwork. It will take some research on your end, however It did come from an old timer that has had it forever, so its long off the books”
Unclear how much value is here.

“Ford cj1 1945 project have engine and transmission”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/07/2023) This has a new body. If someone wants to purchase this, but doesn’t want the engine, In trade for the engine and steering column, I would consider going up to get this (way at the top of the Peninsula area), bringing it back, and holding it until someone comes to pick it up. email me if you are interested: d@deilers.com. I think the engine would be good in Biscuit.

“For sale:  $9000.00. Authentic Ford GPW WWII Military Jeep. Clear Texas blue title. SN on frame matches SN on tab on glove box lid. Both SN match the title. Frame is in excellent condition. Drive train is complete. Fuel system is complete.

The OEM Ford “F” script military windshield is absolutely pristine. The L-134 gear driven engine comes with the jeep. The free-spinning gear-driven motor has a Ford GPW cylinder head on it and a rebuild tag as shown. All the parts, including a brand new clutch and pressure plate shown go with the Jeep”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
It’s project that likely won’t be for sale much longer …
“George is a 1942 Ford GPW that will be your next project. He deserves to be brought back to life and not the storage unit he has become.

Fresh oil change two years ago.
Fuel tank was professionally cleaned and resealed by Auburn Servicenter Radiator.
Not pictured: two hoods, windshield frame, seat cushions and spare wheel
Garaged for the past 23 years.
Title in hand and registered through 1/10/2024.”

1942 Ford GPW tub, fenders, hood, grill, windshield frame, seats and modern repair panels as shown with the ripples dents, dings, and poor patch repairs you would expect after 80 years of use. The floor and hood were cut for a larger F head engine and transmission and some point in the part along with some rough riveted patches. However all the repair panels and parts (tother than simple flat patches) are included to bring it back. Full front floor pan with hat channels that costs more than $700 dollars on its own plus repair parts including the drivers side pioneer kit area, inner rear fender/tool box panels. Inner windshield frame. Bensinger wheelhouse pockets to move the seats back for more leg room if desired. It has its original F marked seats and side grab handles. All original parts have been soda blasted and weldable primed. Rerpo repair patch parts are factory red primed. Pickup preferred but could work with buyer to arrange shipping in a crate at buyers expense. Was going to build as a LRDP jeep and keep most of the imperfections. Bill of sale only. Asking $3,500. Located in Quakertown, PA.
