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: Still Available

As promised, I’ve scanned and posted a 1943. I have updated the earlier post with the scans.
I received the June 19, 1943, issue of Liberty Magazine today. The magazine was published in Toronto, Canada from 1924 – 1950. My issue includes an article written by Willys Overland’s President at the time Joseph W. Frazer and titled “The Amazing Blitz Buggy”.
Having read the article, I’m still surprised he claimed the official name of the vehicle was “General Purpose Car”. You can see that claim in the highlighted portion of the article. That explain why the term “General Purpose” has been used in numerous historical descriptions about the jeep.

This has already hit $316.99! I think building a look-alike real-scale of this would be a neat project.

UPDATE: **SOLD** This doesn’t run, but looks solid.
“The “Forgotten Jeep.” The FJ-3 was a compact delivery van manufactured by Willys Motors and Kaiser-Jeep from 1961 to 1965. This has the Borg-Warner 3 speed automatic transmission, which probably needs work, but can be used again. The motor is bad. This does not run at this time. My husband has been storing it for several years since purchasing it in California. He hasn’t had time to work on this, so it is looking for a new home. We have most of the parts that came with it, except for maybe a light lens. We also have the front bumper and wipers, but they are not shown in the photos. This will need to be hauled on a trailer. This could be a great restoration project.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500 last august.
(08/21/2012) How about that front bumper!
“This auction is for a 1943 Ford GPW, NOT a Willys MB. This vehicle has been CHANGED to appear as a UTV. Not much is stock on this little jeep. It has a custom rack on the back, extra fuel tank in the back, new seats, Ford Falcon dash(?), and a V6. The engine runs very strong. See this video for footage of it running. The jeep is really quite cool. The only real work it needs is a broken left shock bracket. That’s it.
If you want to see the jeep in action go to youtube and type in “Bad ford GPW”. It should pull up a video titled “bad ford gpw in price, utah”. Watch it.
CHECK THIS VIDEO:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CYQcaOCGLo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

I have a good solid 1950 Willys Jeep CJ-3A for sale. Starts, runs pretty good. Motor is solid (does smoke a little from time to time). As you can see above it has a new fuel system. Will need a new battery. Brakes currently do not work but all that is needed is the new master cylinder installed that I will included with the sale. Transmission does grind and moan, needs rebuilding and new seals (leaks) but the clutch is flawless. Transfer case is solid. I have went thru both front and rear axles and they look good. Body does have some rust thru issues but its solid considering the age. Lights are currently not wired but I am including a new light switch and it appears to have good lamps. Comes with both driver and passenger seat frames. I’m asking $1450 for the Jeep. I have over $600 in parts currently installed or will come with the Jeep for you to continue on with the project. Would make a great hunting jeep or a solid restore project for someone. ”
