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 .
It runs and drives, however I can’t agree that “everything is as it should be”.
“1945 military jeep made by Ford GPW. It’s the same thing as a Willys and parts are interchangeable. The original 4 cylinder was pulled and a V6 from a 53 was installed. There is surface rust but no holes or anything bad. The jeep runs and drives great and the 4wd and everything is as it should be. Might trade but cash is preferred. $1000 731-607-1405”

Jeep runs and starts fine, we have been using it on the farm/ranch for the last 5 years and it belong to a friend of are that has had it over 40 yrs and did all these mods to it about 35 yrs ago so this thing has been running for sometime being a hunting rig in Colorado and Texas.

Here’s a GPW that comes with plenty of extras and a tall price tag. Lots of pics.
“Up for sale is a rare and authentic 1944 FORD WILLYS MB 44 with MATCHING TRAILER. This clean and complete example was owned by a serious WWII buff and recovered from dry storage after his death . It has undergone a mechanical restoration by a vintage car specialist and is fully operational and roadworthy. This jeep is unique in that many authentic accessories are included with it, such as radios, antennas, and various fluid canisters. The matching trailer was packed with spare parts and period military items that are all included. This collector jeep is truly one of a kind and will ready for any collection, museum or parade run! Examples in this condition are non-existent!
Please e-mail or call Sam (626/590-4177) with questions or a time to view/drive the vehicle. I am very motivated and need to get this car on it’s way due to space constraints. NO REASONABLE CASH OFFERS WILL BE REFUSED! Thanks for looking.”

“1943 Ford GPW Jeep. Good parts vehicle. Frame and Body have seen better days, Drive line intact. Rolls easy, Can help load. No Paperwork. No e-mails, To many idiots spammers with nothing better to do”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price
“This is a 1942 Ford military jeep with a Willys body. It has the original 4-cylinder flat head engine which is all original and is flawlessly maintained. It has front hubs, special wheels, high range and low range 4WD, windshield folds down and it DOES NOT LEAK OIL. It is tuned to perfection and runs like a kitten. Everything works including the hi and lo-range transfer case. The body is……well, it is 69 years old. No, it does not look like a new Jeep. It has been converted to a 12-volt electrical system for easy starting. Otherwise, it is a 1942 right down to its OD green steering wheel. The seats are a true picture of ugliness and I like it that way. This is in all ways, a true diamond in the rough. Mileage? Surely you jest. I haven’t a clue. Whatever it says – it can’t be true. When you hear it start, hear it idle and then crawl up a hill with all the throat that a 4-cylinder can muster, you’ll think you’ve died and gone to heaven”
Lots of updates to this one.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
This has a variety of updates.
“1942 Ford GPW almost identical to a Willys CJ2A.
~Engine is a Ford 289 with a 2 barrel carb.
~T90 transmission that I rebuilt within the last 500 miles
~Dana 18 transfer case
~Original front and rear axles but I have a Dana 44 with a locker, full floating hubs and 11 inch brakes for the rear and another front axle with 11 inch brakes.
~Currently has an all aluminum hard top that was made by a company called Metro.
~Has a back seat with shoulder belts attached to the roll bar for the little ones and lap belts in the front.
~The winch will most likely go with the Jeep it is a Warn 7000lb.
~The rear bumper has a tire carrier, two gas can carriers and brackets that hold a high lift jack. (gas cans and jack are not included).
~Has an aftermarket heater mounted under the drivers seat that provides more than enough heat even on cold days.
~Has a tow bar and wiring (I towed it behind my RV twice).
~Suspension consists of stock Wrangler Leaf springs over the axles on custom hangers. Ride is very soft and very flexible. Drives ok around town but I don’t take it on the freeway.
~Has power steering using parts from a Jeep Cherokee
~Stainless steel gas tank under the passenger seat.
It took me years to put this Jeep together. I have only driven it once in the past year. It is not perfect but it is a very functional off road vehicle. I have had it up to Walker Valley ORV Park twice. Both times it handled all of the trails I was on with ease. The winch works great for towing Samurais back onto there wheels. This has not been abused off road though pretty much just idled around. This is probably not the best daily driver but would make an excellent hunting rig. I am willing to deliver with my car trailer within a reasonable distance. If you are interested come take a look and make me a fair offer.”
UPDATE: SOLD … Was price at $30.
“Original used WWII Willys MB or Ford GPW 16″ combat wheel. Needs some work. $30 I only have one of these rare wheels available.”
