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: **Status Unknown** Was $9100.

“Ford Army Jeep. Matching serial numbers on engine block, chassis, and body. OD finish, new top, new tires, new Brakes, brake lines, Front and rear end, transfer case, and transmission all rebuilt. Engine smokes but runs. 85% correct restoration, 95% complete restoration. Title in hand. Cash or certified check only.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
It’s had some work done.
“The following has been rebuilt: Frame, steering, brakes, suspension, Carburetor, master cylinder, etc. New tires, major portions of the electrical system, water pump, etc. Engine overhauled (according to the previous owner) in 2011. I rebuilt or repaired most of the subsystems except for the tub which you can see and I have a detailed list of all the parts replaced. It has been converted to 12 volt. Apparently, in the late 40’s, the front grill was replaced with a CJ2A grille, the T84 transmission was swapped out for a T90 and a tailgate was installed. It is a true GPW though with the machine gun mount and plenty of “F” marked parts.
Included in the price are a large collection of extra parts including an extra T90 transmission, Dana 18 Transfer case, two gallons of GFI Olive lusterless paint as well as two of the GFI Red Oxide Primer. I have lockout hubs on it now to minimize the wear on the front diff but I do have the original hubs.
I’ve also heavily documented the entire restoration process on CD so you know what has taken place. I drive it around town on the weekends (as far as the 40 mile/hr top speed will take me) so it is kept in good running condition.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
(04/07/2015) Look solid.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
Has an updated motor and the brakes need work.
“This is actually a Ford MB for people that know a lot about these but most people know them as a cj2a. and for the most part they are the same. This truck runs. Its has a 265 v8 in it that runs good. it has an extra gear put in the transfer case and you can get it up to freeway speeds. it has bigger axles put in the rear end to compensate for the added hp and torque. The registration is current and i have pink in my name. 4wd works.
the brakes need work. I think the master cylinder leaks and eventually you will loose all the fluid. Other than what I have described the truck is stock. I can start it for you and will include the new battery I bought and a new master cylinder i bought. I just dont have the time and could use the money more than a project right now.”
Has an f-head engine.

“This GPW was purchased in a fundraiser auction in Creston, MT in 2006. It was a mismatched pile of rusty parts, winning bid; $400. When my Dad saw that the delivery date of this GPW was Monday, May 4th 1942 and his delivery date (birthday) was May, 25th 1942, he had to have it. After some repairs and a quick camouflage paint job, the Jeep was back on the road for the first time since 1976. He drove it in parades and be-bopped around town, using it to raise awareness of MIA/POWs around the world.
UPDATE: Was $900. **SOLD**
It no longer has the rear full-floaters (among other things).

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7999
(07/06/2015) There are several reasons this shouldn’t sell for $20k besides the incorrect engine.
“With great sadness I am selling my 90% restored World War II Ford GPW/MB. She has been sitting in a carport for the better part of 5 years and needs to find a good home to hit the parade circuit again. The body is all original as is the two piece windshield. She has the original manufacturing plates on the passenger side, black-out lighting, all gauges, new gas tank, the original 6volt electrical system, original military type tires, and fully restored engine. A note about the engine: the engine came off a 1938 Willys Sedan Coupe! That is the only reason this parade/museum piece is not going for 20k. The restored engine has less than 500 miles on it as does the fully restored drivetrain to include the drum drivehaft brake.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500.
Looks like the front frame rails have been patched on the outside, but still might be worth a look.
“Runs and drives well with new tires and combat rims.
Leave a phone number and best time to call back.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/14/2015) The body may be a little rough.
