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 expect the seller is offering to sell a title left over from another jeep for $300. However, the ad is worded as if you only get the title if you pay extra!

Scam? Or a good deal?

“Only selling due to health changes, willing to negotiate, please make a fair offer. Can deliver for extra fee. This is a WW2 Jeep with low miles, runs like a dream. Very fun to drive in the desert. Recently restored. Majority is original 1940s-1950s parts. Has canvas top in good condition. Military vehicle great for collectors, historical, and the black out lights work too!”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/04/2023) This could be worth a look. It doesn’t run at the moment.

“I have a 1942 Ford JP. These were made by Ford during WWll and were used in war frequently. This Jeep doesn’t run but it ran when it was parked years ago. Haven’t really tried to start it because there isn’t a battery. It is a 3 speed manual. It has a dual case, and front locking hubs. This Jeep is very very rare, yes it doesn’t run but everything else is there. Body is straight, tires hold air, engine and tranny are there ect…. I won’t respond to “is this still available” not in a hurry to sell, looking for the right deal as this Jeep is very rare and is 81 years old. Number of miles is unknown You will need to bring a traile”
It would be great if the seller has an original photo of the jeep in the box, but of course note everyone had access to a camera in 1946.

The body has been modified and there seems to be some CJ DNA in that body.

“Hard to find Ford GPW jeep with all new floor huge tires 2 new aluminum gas tanks new spring leafs with ford 289 and transmission came out of running vehicle have some extra parts for engine”

New battery, overhauled rear end, transmission, and transfer case. Includes car dolly and arctic cab. Registered. Effectively a 200hp street legal side-by-side.”
I suspect this extended bed was an owner mod, as it’s longer and more permanent than the commercial extensions that were produced.

Extra parts/missing parts – has a WOF flat-head. If you have any question – let me know. (Text/Email) I’ll answer as best I can.
Just to clarify, this is a project and is in non-running condition.
Please ask any and all questions. I’ll do my best to answer.
Thanks for looking.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
Looks like a good price.
“1942 Ford GPW, Willys jeep, WWII
Make a reasonable offer.
Tan
Modifications:
V8 engine (extended engine compartment)
T10 Transmission
Roll bar
Mechanic special
Off road vehicle – not for city driving
Tires are newer, but flat. You’ll need an air compressor to air them up. There’s power at the storage unit so you can plug something in. It should start. It’s only been sitting a year. I recommend having it towed/trailered anyway.
I am devastated to lose this. I grew up with it. My father made most of the modifications to it. It was our fishing/camping vehicle.
My boyfriend just passed and I can’t keep it. I want it to go to someone that will love it and use it.
I’m available Sunday to meet.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1499.
(03/20/2023) 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.”

“1942 Ford GPW Jeep. Serial number GPW-70489 Jeep Comes with new windshield frames, rear floorboards, and new sections of the frame. THERE IS NO DRIVE TRAIN or hood. Someone had swapped civilian stuff under it and it was complete junk. Jeep does come with a title. The trailer is a 1948 bantam. Previous owner cut out the floor other than that it is in good shape. Both for 2000. Will not respond to is this available.”
This is listed as a 1954, but it’s clearly has a CJ-2A body. Unclear how much value is here, as this doesn’t run.

“It’s got a nice cab,roll bar, and tow hitch. The motor is a ford 260 v8. With an overdrive Its been sitting a long time. Back is full of carburetors and other parts”
This jeep is listed two different places. The first link has it at $3500. I’m guessing it was bought, but the link wasn’t taken down. It’s now priced at $9000 here: https://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/cto/d/cresson-jeep-willys-ford-ww2/7622948976.html

“1942 Ford GPW Jeep.
If you are look for a run around Jeep, OK. If you are looking for a quality restoration project, this Jeep is a disaster. It is sad the abuse inflicted on this early script Ford. Roll bar runs through the floor and is welded to the frame. The body was re-skinned. I cannot determine how much of the body is original or its condition. Drivers seat was extended two inches. Look over the pictures carefully. More pictures at:
1944 MB/ 42GPW (imageevent.com)
On the good side: The engine spins freely be hand. It has the early scalloped axles. Early windshield hold down, Ford Script, and other F marks.
In addition, included will be the two windshield frames, hood and one combat wheel.”
This has an unusual roll bar setup. Unclear how much work it needs.

“I am selling my 1943 Ford Willy’s gpw. I have had this jeep for nearly 16 years. I somewhat restored it while I was younger but left for school and it sat for a while only being driven once or twice a year until the radiator blew a year or two ago. Since then it has sat waiting for some love. I currently don’t have the time or the money to get this where it needs to be. Hate to let it go but it’s hard to keep. Let me know if you have any questions.”
Unclear how much value is here.

“This is a very rough vehicle, I think it is a 42 but not positive. Someone installed a later motor in it but I don’t know if it would run or not. I plan to cut it up and hang it on the wall in my shop. Willing to let go for $2,000 firm”
