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 .

UPDATEIII: Now on ebay http://www.ewillys.com/?p=53328
UPDATE II: You can view larger pics here: http://jpegbay.com/gallery/000807963-.html of this fake ad. The seller will only take payment via Google Checkout because he is in such a hurry. Paul points out something I missed — this has an 8″ lift … or not! Thanks to John for detective work on this one.
UPDATED: John alerted me that this GPW is also listed for sale in Chicago. Since neither ad mentions the jeep being in either city, be on a scam watch just to be safe.
This could be a reasonable price. Appears in good shape. The hood blocks are in a strange location.

(11/13/2010) That top looks like an old Sears & Roebuck Aluminum top, rather than a custom top.

YEAR:
I wasn’t certain of the year when I registered it with MVD. They guy I bought it from only had a Canadian title with no information. I guessed it was a 1945. I did a little more research and after talking to a few guys from g503.com, we determined it to be a 1943. Instead of dealing with MVD again, I just left it as is.”

(12/23/2009) The body has been raised to fit an aftermarket gas tank.
“Up for your consideration is a 1943 WW II US military Jeep with a 1/4 ton Bantam trailer the Jeep is fairly complete it was running and was in the process of being restored but due to a move and other reasons that is no longer an option. The engine is all original except the carb which was being replaced by an aftermarket one as I could not find a correct one. It has a new ignition switch which will need to be installed as well as that was also being done but halted. It has the battle rims and the data plates and blackout lights. The Jeep sits on lift blocks to clear an aftermarket gas tank and provide a little more clearance the headlights are from a CJ 2 but the grille was not cut or altered to allow them to fit making for an easy to convert back fix.
The trailer has been modified and has a drop gate and some rust in the front also the hitch and tongue has been extended and a ball hitch added and the pintle hitch was removed at some depot at some point in time, I looked for a long time and was quite happy to eventually find an original WW II trailer to go with this project. The tail lights are not original neither is the steering wheel or roll bar or seats.The body or tub is in good condition with no rust or major work needed to bring it back to stock. IIRC this has 20K miles on it I bought it from a WW II veteran and was going to restore with my dad who was also a WW II veteran having served in the Pacific theater he learned to fully appreciate these and what they could do ….”
UPDATE: Still Available
(09/12/2010) The builder of this jeep wasn’t satisified with a SOA, so they went 5″ above that!

(11/04/2010) This looks like a good rig with a variety of updates. I wonder if it has an updated rear end given the Dana 20.
