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 .

5:38 Gears
Posi front and rear
8,000 lb Warn winch

“It’s all there,all stock, 4 cylinder Willy’s motor, needs some work does run . 3500 or best offer bring trailer and taker home.”
Seller wrote “$3” in the title, so I’m guessing it’s being sold for $3000?
“1944 Willys original motor/trans, new f/r lights, gauges, runs”
https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/6208828903.html
UPDATE: Price increased to $20k. Seller believes this was a 4wheel steer jeep. Based my research, 50 GPW 4WS were produced, but were they produced as late as 1943?
(07/11/2017) Seller thinks those tires and rims are original …. this has a gas tank in the rear.
“So I picked up this 1943 Willis flat fender ford built and it just so happens to be model gpw-4ws and that meens a lot actuall makes it a 4 wheel steering jeep that is one of the 50 they made.the rear steering is unhooked but its all there and the numbers are right on so as you can imagine my numbers are going up a lot.the last one that sold was a couple years ago n was in a lot worse shape then mine n went for 46,000 that being said mine only has 95000 miles it still has the original tires n wheels it also has a brand new top and original cast iron 4cyl engine n here’s the deal this thing is old n needs to be cherished n I need a jeep that is trail ready so if I sold it I would be asking 20,000 so any tj or rubicon 4dr and some cash works or just cash me out n double your money in a month or two at auction.i just want something that’s dependable for me to take my kids out in will do. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
There may be some parts value here. It looks to me like it has MB lids. Seller makes quite a statement about rarity, but the numbers don’t back that claim. There were 281,000 GPWs produced. That is more than the number of CJ-2As (225,000), CJ-3As (131,000), CJ-3Bs (196,000), and M-38s (45,000) … I guess it ain’t that rare after all!
“Complete jeep I’m not sure of the year but is between 42-45 I know it was made by Ford extremely rare, parts or the whole vehicle. I have the title some where or can reaply for new tittle, this is the rarest jeep ever made in the history of the country.”
UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $3000.
Has a mix of parts including a GPW tub.
“Rebuilt jeep non running because missing parts. Fresh paint job and body has been patched looks brand new. Asking 3000 obo”
Has some dash mods and an engine upgrade.
“Early production Ford script gpw ww2. Good shape, has the usual mods along the way, Buick v6, T90, 5.38 gears,relocated gas tank, willys windshield, civilian grill. So not for the purest, but is a rare Ford script and the body is solid for being 75 years old! Nice 8k warn winch. Runs fine but currently doesn’t have brakes( needs a master cylinder) and a few small things, but with a little work will be a fun toy. Correct bows, handles, shovel, ax, door straps. Sold with bill of sale, lost title, has good frame numbers and will need a DMV verification( still have both black plates) Too many toys, thinning the herd! Please be serious and not waste my time. Don’t need to sell so low ball offers will be ignored.”

Unusual roll cage shape.

90% restored could be pretty close with this one.
“1943 GPW Ford Jeep. Parade quality. 90% restored. Runs and drives. Good paint. Blackout lights. Excellent condition. Must see to appreciate.”
Could be worth a look.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1100.
Not sure how deep the rust is, but it looks like it has potential.
“Selling a Ford Script jeep body, some rust but overall a very restorable body for an early Ford jeep. Still has footman loops, gas tank well, other original body parts”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/22/2017) Needs some work.

“For Sale: 1942-1944 Ford Open Jeep. Clear Texas Blue Title. This is a Jeep that was probably assembled out of many different Jeeps at some point. The frame is MB, M2 mount is in the frame, tub floor shows it, front square cross-member confirms it is a Ford.
The Jeep has a Ford GPW body, shown by the embossings in the tool compartment lids. The windshield frame and front grill are CJ2A/3A stamped “Willys.” The right front fender is Ford GPW.
The L134 Flat head Willys “Go Devil” motor is correct vintage for the jeep, 1944-1951. Continue reading
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
Listed as an MB, it looks more like a GPW.
“For sale is my 43 mb. It has lots of possibilities. Civilian post war engine. 3 speed. Only first and reverse function. It has big bucks into the wheels and tires. Runs great. Lots of ford marked parts on it. Looking for 6000 firm. Clear Idaho title.”
It doesn’t run at the moment.
“Need to sell my Vintage WW2 “Jeep”. 1944 Ford GPW (twin to the Willy’s MB). New windshield hood blocks (OEM) and weather stripping still in package and never installed. Wife says I have too many projects going and need to downsize. I did have it running but the motor needs TLC. Great project vehicle for restoration or just building a runabout for playing in the desert and on the Mesa. Willing to trade for a 2up ATV and small trailer. Price is negotiable as I need to move this and my 2003 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE (see craigslist posting June 8th).”
https://westslope.craigslist.org/cto/6170575713.html
UPDATE: Price dropped to $15,000.
(05/07/2017) Needs some exhaust work.
“I am selling a near complete restored 1944 Ford GPW Army Jeep from WW2. The vehicle has a recently rebuilt Go-Devil Engine, carburetor, and radiator. A truly accurate restoration with the only modification being the 12 volt battery conversion. The comes with many original items such as a canvas summer top, first aid kit, axe, fuel can, and more. The vehicle still needs the some minor work on the exhaust which causes the fuel pressure to drop and cannot drive far until this final problem is resolved, however the vehicle idles perfectly and can be driven onto a trailer.”

Mark posted this at warjeeps.com.
“For the past 50+ years it has been driven roughly 30-50 miles per year. It was owned by a former board member of the Reno Air Show and was trailered from Reno to the event and only used to drive around the grounds of the show. Still has the original stickers from the air shows on the front wind shield. Recently had service done on the brakes, oil, etc.
Most likely one of the cleanest non-show car 75 year old vehicles you will see. Recently we did $1400.00 worth of maintenance. Runs great. Would like to find it a nice home.”

Not much of the original jeep left.
“I need to get rid of my steel bodied, 1944 Ford Jeep. I originally got it as a project vehicle for rock crawling. When I bought it, it was a hunting rig. It has a Ford 289 V8, adapted to the original 3 speed transmission. There’s virtually no rust. Has stout front and rear bumpers and a tow bar. It’s a perfect vehicle to build exactly how you want it for. Very flexible on price. I am also selling a 3 speed military transmission with transfer case. Make offer(s).”

UPDATE: **SOLD** A deposit has been made on it. Was listed at $6500.
Bill’s selling his unrestored GPW. He also has a trailer for sale for $1699 (see pics at bottom).
“Selling my old US Army WWII jeep. It’s a Ford made jeep, complete with lots of F marked parts. Willys was the other manufacturer of WWII jeeps and the MB is very similar. It is not restored and appears to have never been apart other than for some repairs over the years. It needs a full restoration if you want a perfect WWII jeep. As it is I had lots of fun in parades with it back around Y2K. Sure there are extra holes, rusted spots, missing parts here and there, and the gas tank is rotted as is the floor around it. There are four original WWII tires, one of which was used by a modern tire company to remake the molds for the WWII Firestone tires. I wouldn’t recommend driving it home, as you will want to install new tires and look at the brakes before you do any driving around on public roads. It could make a great display in a store, or a wonderful project.
I’m looking for the best offer on this one.. I’ll start at $7999, and won’t take $500. I really don’t want to sell it but the county is forcing my hand. Gotta love those tax appraisers. Its time for someone to give this jeep the home it deserves. I don’t have the funds to do a proper restoration, so I did my best to preserve what was there and doll it up a bit for parades. If you want to get down to the original olive drab Army paint, a lot of it is still there under the krylon spray paint. The blue stripe is an original marking.

There are some GPW and CJ-2A parts.
