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.
This is a mix of parts.
“This jeep is almost done except due to health need to sell. It’s a willys 1943 M38 A1 chassy with a ford GPW body on it. 85 4.3 with a turbo 350 to Dana model 18 transfer case.”
UPDATE: We’ve seen a small uptick scams on Craigslist. Thanks to John for finding this in the Ohio Craigslist at $15,000. I guess scammers need money for xmas gifts?? Besides, I didn’t think the background looked like Los Angeles.
To good to be true?

UPDATE: See comments looks like a scam. Thanks to Barry for his work on this.
Does a seller really mean a finders fee of half the jeep? I’m confused.
“2 thought to be 1942 Ford Jeeps, 1900 each , finders fee of 1000,”

“(If you’re interested in this please call and leave a voice mail message with your name and location. I’ll call you back. Sorry, I don’t reply to texts. Thanks!)
Ford and Willys made WW2 Jeeps for the military. All parts were interchangeable. This is a Ford “GPW” chassis and has many Ford “F” script marks on it.
It has been sandblasted, primed and painted. It is clean and straight with no modifications.
The rectangular plate on top of the frame crossmember in front of the rear axle is the machine gun mount. All WW2 Jeeps came equipped with this mount.
I built it as a display to show “The Parts That Make A WW2 Jeep Go”. Many of the parts are numbered, a sign next to the display describes the parts. I also marked some of the “F” script marks with orange paint. It’s currently at a museum in Rexburg.
Use it as a display, as a great start to your WW2 Jeep project or as a replacement for your bent, rusted and modified frame.
The $1750 price is for the rolling chassis only. The engine, transmission and transfer case are not included in this price.
The price including engine, transmission and transfer case is $2500. The transmission and transfer case are Ford GPW, the engine is a later Willys Jeep engine, probably from the late ’40’s to early ’50’s. Engine, trans and transfer do not work and will need to be rebuilt.
No title, bill of sale only.
I can transport as far as Bozeman, Jackson Hole, Ogden or Twin Falls”
Those look like early solid disc rims to me.
“1943 Ford GPW (Jeep). Ford & Willy’s built them during WWII. New top w doors. Needs brake master rebuilt and new brake lines installed, I have the parts already. It runs great and the trans is in great shape, doesn’t pop out of gear which is a common issue with these old jeeps. No huge rust holes, in good shape for being in Hawaii for 70+ years.”
