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: This appears to have been sold.
There looks to be value here.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(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

(07/19/20100 Well, it’s a running, driveable GPW with the original engine and tranny.
“This 1943 Jeep is actually made by Ford, not Willy’s. It has the original engine and transmission, and both have been rebuilt; it has a dual, locking transfer case, with low-range for some serious climbing ability; it has fairly new 35” tires; it has a serious “roll cage” for great protection; it has a drop-down tow bar for easy towing; it has an “Ooga” horn; and it was recently painted the eye-catching black and yellow pattern shown below. It’s street legal and off-road ready. Call and buy it if you want to have some major fun.”
SOLD
“This is a rare barn find! It’s not often you find one of these untouched military jeeps. You are bidding on a 1944 GPW with matching engine and frame numbers. No data tags. Jeep comes with bill of sale only. Although the body is rough, this is a great restoration project. Many original parts are still on the jeep such as spare tire carrier and support bracket. You can still see the original seat cushions (horse hair)along with seat covers on the back seat and driver seat. The jeep sits on four original combat wheels which I believe are still mounted to the original tires. Original hood numbers are visible under the flaking blue paint (will try to uncover the complete number in the morning) All three original Ford seats are still on the jeep. Original script bolts hold the body handles in place. I am putting this jeep up for sale in as found condition; Engine, tranny along with all mechanical components have not been tested but appear to be damage free. Since the jeep is sold as is, I recommend that all interested parties ask all questions and do all their research before placing a bid. For our mutual protection I will except offers through ebay for our mutual protection but please do not wait until the end of the auction to make offers. I will consider any rare jeep parts such as slat grill parts, GP parts etc. as patial trade toward the jeep as I have many other projects. A $1000 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the end of the auction.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $35,000.
