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: Still Available.

“1942 GPW Jeep. Solid overall for a WW2 Jeep. Willys engine and trans. Not cut for tailgate. Clean title.”
Andy shared this one. It appears to be a GPW based on the front cross member.

“I do not know the year on this, it required a yr so I put this down. I know nothing about this, it has a motor, an extra set of axles as shown in the pictures, what you see is what you get. I am open on reasonable offers as well.”
Has an updated engine and a few mods, including tanks on either side.

“1944 Ford Jeep Willys Engine 3.07 Chevy El Camino V8 1971 Driving great with working 4×4 Title in hand”
Bill shared this post. The seller describes it as a 1943 MB with a GPW engine, but the bumper, the took box lids, and the front crossmember all suggest this is a GPW. Maybe the new data tags identify this incorrectly as an MB??

“Have 50 jeep tub frame and hood all for 200 come get it”
Listed as an MB, it has GPW tool box lids. From the front, I can’t tell if it has a GPW crossmember or not, as it kind of looks like it curves the entire way.
