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 $5500. Andy pointed out that this one had an Esslingen rebuild tag:
ORIGINAL POST:
“Original 1944 Ford Gpw willys jeep. Needs restore. Has a WWII 1942 Gpw engine. The frame is a 1944 Gpw. parked since 1992 non op. Still has oil and water in the jeep. Had a blown head gasket when parked. Motor turns over by hand easily.”
It’s got rear floaters. It just might have an MB/GPW chassis. Looks to have a replacement body.
“Too many projects too little time. Include second grill, and set of fenders. I believe the owner before me started restoring and didn’t get far. From what I can tell new front and rear axles. I have signed not transferred title in hand. It’s at my business but is personally for sale. Obviously some rust but most are just light surface, to my knowledge the pan is in good shape.
There is a 4 cylinder engine under the hood – but not running.’

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,900.
Could use some more photo from additional angles.
“This is a 1944 GPW Ford made WW2 Jeep with clean title. I fully rebuilt this jeep in 2012 with a frame off restoration.
The engine, clutch and transmission have been professionally rebuilt. 4×4 works perfectly. I have over 400 documented hours into the restoration, and I’ve spent 1/3 more than the asking price. its had over 1200 trouble free miles since its restoration.
This restoration uses the original tub, frame, parts and sheet metal. Reproduction parts have been kept to a minimum but include hat channels and a little sheet metal. It has all of the original Ford WW2 engine and drivetrain, axles, driveshafts, etc.
The good: runs and drives great, new Vintage Wiring of Maine correct looking wiring harness, new brakes and master cylinder, and new tires. It has reproduction data plates. Has reproduction WW2 combat wheels including spare. Has a WW2 fuel can and water bag, included.

Appears to have a GPW crossmember.
“This vintage jeep has been in the family for about 10 years. It ran and drove well before it went into the shop for a new firewall. Was given to step son as a first vehicle, however this is not a good vehicle for a new driver. I can send more pictures or answer additional questions if requested.
