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 .
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.”

“I have a 1944 Ford M1 A1 Jeep that runs great for $10,000 OBO. Has the original Flathead for cylinder motor, upgraded electrical to 12 volt system and rewired with upgraded fusees. I have the original generator system that came with it when we bought it and I left the old guess panel on the fire wall. Nice paint, custom wheels and tires and floating front axles which are stock and original. all but two gauges work. It’s a great little Jeep and a lot of fun to taking parades. Need the room got to get it out of the garage!”

“1942 original Ford Jeep GPW military jeep. Original engine, tranny (4×4) body, glass, top, etc. (wheels and seats not original) parked it running in a storage unit in 2002 and it’s been there ever since (it was put on non-op, no back fees). Still has the same fluids, so definitely need to swap all that out. No leaks. I don’t know much about it other than it ran when it went in and it hasn’t been touched ever since. The original wood hood has some peeling at the front, the rest of the body is straight. No dents dings chipped paint, nothing like that. Tires still have air in them. Spare on back. I pushed on the clutch and shifted through the gears just fine, and that’s all I know. Let the pictures do the rest of the talking.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500.
Tool indents have been replaced/pounded out/ filled in.

“Came off late 1942 GPW. Tub has several solid straight panels. Dash, cowl and firewall all straight but dash has some extra holes. Fenders need inner support brackets and some minor patching but appear straight and never dented. Hood also straight. Glove box door is straight and has left and right info plates but they were painted over. Glove Box is solid and straight and button appears original but is frozen up.”

Joe-in-Mesa, think Jan will agree to a plow jeep? You’ll be prepared in case it snows 🙂
“Antique WWII “Willy” Jeep with attached Snow Plow
Was driven in Williams, Az until 1992. From 1993 – now parked in garage in Gilbert and not used.
Exterior of basic jeep looks solid. Interior needs lots of work.
Custom cab cover very worn. See pictures for condition.
Snow plow worth around 1K.”
Blaine shared this GPW.
“1942 Ford GPW Script: Serial number 34183. Date of delivery, 6-16-42. This is a project jeep. The engine is an original GPW, it does not match the frame and data plate in numbers. Engine is stuck, but shows no external damage or cracks. Transmission is the correct early type with the fill plug on the right side. Radiator is F-marked as are most of the other parts on the jeep. Does not have combat wheels. I do not have extra parts to put with it. What I did have, is now on the jeep to make it complete. I have an original WWII pintle hook to put on, but it is not F-marked. Body is great shape for its age. Rust issues have been documented in the photos. The frame is exceptional. The front gussets are gone but the horns have never been plated, gusseted, welded or broken. This goes for the rear also. To make the dash more complete, I put a new temp gauge in, and a new keyed ignition switch. I have also included another original grill since the one on the jeep is banged up bad. Sold without title.”

Hopefully this will find a good home.
“My Dad has owned and garage kept this WWII classic since 1974. He saw somewhere that it is numbered 350 or something like that. With Warn front hubs, he towed it as a hunting rig for many years and then used it to help him build his dream/retirement home in Hoodsport. At 90, Dad has not been able to use this fine running specimen for many years. It has sat in the garage for many years with only being run a few times a year to keep the seals moist. It has an all original drive train and motor with the exception of converting it from 6v to 12v. Dad also installed aluminum floorboards in the 70’s. We believe the original miles are only slightly more than the 25K showing. It also has a super strong WWII electric winch. Minimal rust, it leaks a little oil and the steering wheel has some play. Other that that, it runs and drives great. It’s been a part of our family but it’s time for someone else to love it like my Dad has for 43 years.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Body looks pretty good.
“I Have a 1943 Ford Gpw jeep. Ready for restoration. Vin number is 157845. It has a good running GPW motor. Motor vin is 99250. The transmission was changed to a T-90 at some time but it is bad (rusty inside). It still has original F-script axle assemblies and springs. Has an F-script drivers seat frame. Windshield will need new glass. The body has the usual rust issues. On the back of the body someone put new sheet metal over the body and extended it down over the rear cross member. It has 4 civilian rims with tires that hold air but are dry and cracked. Does not have a fuel tank or grill. It does not have a title but I ran the vin through MVD and it has never been registered or titled so it will be simple to get a bonded title. Or use it for parts.”
