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 .

Seth spotted this hard to find part.
“This is a used bilge pump and propeller shaft PTO for a Ford GPA Amphibious Jeep. If you are lucky enough to own a GPA you know how rare these are. Both levers shift in an out just fine. The levers have casting #’s of GPA 1548 and GPA 7248. The number on the housing is 7 38 1. Great item to have as a spare or if you are missing the PTO this is your chance to help complete your GPA. This PTO has been sitting on the shelf for over 40 years. Please look at the pictures to make sure this is what your looking for.”

This doesn’t look like much at first, but it has an interesting aftermarket dash (wished there was a better pic of it) and an overdrive. There’s plenty of value here.

It’s a project.
“I recently bought this WWII 1942 serial number 112111, Willys slat grille Jeep to restore. But, after I realized the rarity of this model and everyone has been wanting to buy it from me, I decided to offer it up for TRADE only. What I really want is a late WWII Ford built GPW Jeep that is in far better condition or much farther along in a restoration. I’m not interested in trading for anything other than a FORD made Jeep that is in BETTER condition than this far more desirable slat grill Jeep that I have. I’m NOT going to sell the Jeep, only trade it for a GPW.
This Willys MB has no title, is not running, but the engine is not locked. The engine and transmission are from a later civilian Jeep. There is rust in the body but not terrible. It appears that the body had been sandblasted at some point and then someone patched the floors and bondoed over dents. Over all, this Jeep is in far better condition than most of the unrestored Jeeps I’ve found.”
It’s the red jeep that’s for sale.

“Here may be the best authentic original patina operating military jeep you may ever find! 1943 Ford GPW. Always garaged. Not many chances like this come up to own a piece of ww2 history with matching body and frame numbers. Purchased from the original post military owner. This is not a jeep that you would restore as its value is in the current RUST FREE patinaed ” worn look as if it came from a time warp” condition, parade quality that gets the attention plus safe to drives as it has seat belts and roll bar. Recent complete break overhaul but may need a new head gasket as tends to run warm sometimes. ”

“his was the on-site factory ambulance for the Willys Motor Co. It is selling only as a project, with no running gear. It was a factory two wheel drive.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300.
That roll cage might be for a flattie based on the front loop bends.
“Jeep cj 5. Picked this up on another deal and have no need or want for it. Here is what I know, it cranks over strong but no spark, body in good shape some rust and bondo in right rear but metal feels straight so not sure of why there is filler, rear tire holds air about 3 hours. Someone put new springs and brake lines on somewhat recent. Looks to be all original underneath. In good shape overall and I don’t think it would take alot to get on the road. May consider part trade.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
Not sure how much value is here.
