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: **SOLD** Was $8000.

“Up for your consideration is a 1942 Ford GPW. Willys and Bantam also made these type of Jeeps. This unit went into service November 30, 1942. Not sure of any history during service however, I did research and found this GPW was sold at a WAA auction September 11. 1946 in Jacksonville Fl. From what I know a neighbor of my Grandparents went to Jacksonville on that day and purchsed this GPW. He used it as a hunting vehicle around our rural area. He was an avid bird hunter with trained dogs so he cut the rear of the tub out and moved it forward to act as a divider between him and his bird dogs. The GPW was parked at sometime in its life under a pole barn for what appears was head gasket change. Unfortuneately, it was never reassembled. After the mans death is sat many more years until new owners of the farm tore down the barns and this GPW was put out to pasture (literally). I aquired the GPW after it sat outside for about a year. Pictures speak louder than words so please look closely and ask any and all questions prior to bidding. The windshield, cylinder head, and hood (possibly other items) were not able to be found. I will include a link to a photobucket album for more pictures. The GPW has a lot of the Ford Script parts such as fuel filter, radiator cap, pintle hitch and probably much more.One item that is very unique is a period correct watch faced engine hour meter. . . .

No pics provided. It sounds like a flattie of some kind.

(10/23/2012) This has an unusual story.
“O.K. military personnel, here’s your chance to own an iconic piece of history. This is an authentic 1942 Military Jeep (Ford GPW); matching frame and I.D. Plate. This jeep is probably one of the numerous leftovers from World War 2, Asian theater, as it was rebuilt at the 229TH Ordnance Base Depot, Oppama Ordnance Shop (OOS), located in Japan.
I’ve been told that this was a former Japanese navy aircraft rebuild facility located in Yokohama, Japan and was converted to the 229TH Ordnance Base Depot, after the war; much of what they rebuild went to the Korean conflict. I corresponded with a soldier who was stationed there during that time period and he told me that depot rebuilds were performed at the component level; every piece removed and replaced. That may account for jeeps that we find with a mixture of GPW and MB parts on them. I’m not sure if that is when my jeep was fitted with the body tub and windshield for a recoilless rifle, but it is a recoilless rifle version although it has round buttons on the rear tool boxes which suggest it is a MB tub.
According to Fred W. Crismon’s book U.S. MILITARY WHEELED VEHICLES, recoilless rifles were first tried in April 1945 on flat fendered jeeps. It became more commonplace during the 1950’s on M38 (flat fendered) and M38A1 (curved fender) jeeps although my body tub still has the gas tank filler under the seat suggesting an earlier version. The open back of the body tub suggests to me that this tub may have been designed for use with the latter M79 mount instead of the earlier version M75A1 mount, but I don’t know.
Therefore, I can’t be sure when it was installed unless this information is part of the Ordnance Depot Job Order Number detail, and I’m not sure if that data is still available. I don’t have the recoilless rifle and mount, but they do appear for sale from time to time which would significantly increase the value of the jeep. Included with the jeep is an authentic tow bar and 1951 Dunbar trailer. I’ve been told that the trailer is a typical companion of a recoilless rifle for carrying ammo and ancillary items for operating the rifle.
Somehow the jeep ended up in the Greek Army and was then imported to the USA. This I believe to be true because we found Greek coins inside the tub. The jeep is drivable and I used it mostly for running errands. I’ve taken it to a couple of car shows and it cruises at 60 mph with no shake or shimmy. Every time I drive it people beep their horns, wave, crowd around it, and want to talk about it – really a lot of fun.
I hope the wiring that is dangling from the dash is fixed. Otherwise, this appears in good shape.

Walter spotted this CJ-2A. How about that unique rack on the front? Given that bumper, this was some kind of purpose-modified jeep. The body doesn’t appear too bad either. Maybe that rack was on a car truck?
“This is a 48′ Jeep Willys. This is a project that I wanted to restore myself but I just dont have enough time. It needs a full body restoration but it has its original drive traine. I do have have the title. Please no txts or emails.”
Belgian writer George Remi wrote and illustrated the Adventures of Tin Tin, a series of comic strips and books, which have been adapted for radio, television, theatre and movies. The sixteenth series of comic strips is called Destination Moon, which features a great illustration of our heroes in a jeep racing for a rocket. If you do a search for “tin tin” and “jeep” on eBay you’ll run into a variety of toy jeeps for sale. I’ve never read the comic series, so I really know very little about how much the jeep is involved in the series.
This is a neat old photograph. The first two vehicles are slat grille MBs.
“This is a gloss finish 8″ x 10″ black and white photograph of a WWII Era military convoy traveling on a cleared road between majestic snow covered fir trees. It would be nice to know their destination. Does it look cold! There are no markings on the back of this picture, but it is pristine and very professional. I am selling numerous pictures taken during the WWII era which are of great historical interest and need to be preserved. Many are from Kashmir and other places in the Far East where the previous owner was stationed. The owner was a photographer for the military.”
View all the information on eBay
I ran across an online auction site called eCrater.com. Smaller than eBay, it has some vintage jeep items for sale. In some cases the prices are a little lower than ebay. Part of the reason for the lower prices is that it is free to list items and to use their commerce system. I purchased a brochure off the site and will report if I run into any issues.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
It doesn’t run at the moment.
“Bought many years ago and it ran back then. I installed a good battery in it and it cranked over, but wouldn’t fire. Then it quit…..I think I fried the starter or the solenoid (not sure which). The engine isn’t frozen, so it probably won’t take much to get it running again. This was going to be a project car, but lost interest. Take a look at the pictures……what you see is what you get.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a no-reserve auction. Needs a tiny bit of work.
“This rare classic is selling on a “No Reserve Auction”. The high bidder will absolutely win this truck.
Just got this rare truck in. Its a 1951 Overland Willys Jeep Flatbed Pickup. It appears to be in very good condition for the year. I have had a few of these throughout the years and they are getting harder to find and they sell fast.
This one starts right up and Purrs like a Kitten. No Smoke or engine noise and runs cool. It appears to me to be the original motor and it looks like it has been rebuilt or freshened up. It has good power for the size of the motor. The Truck drives very straight and no shakes or shimmies. It has new tires and nice aluminum wheels which greatly adds to the drive-ability. It appears that someone started to restore this and so it needs to be finished up, but the hardest parts of the restoration appear to be done. It would be a fun project and with a little work you could drive while you complete.
This would also be a great advertisement piece for your business, Imagine your company signs along the sideboards of the flatbed.
A couple of other things. It is a bit hard to shift into 2nd gear i’m not sure if its the clutch or what? I have talked to some people about it and they tell me that its my driving and that you have to “double clutch it” when you shift? Maybe you will know more about this than I do, however I wanted to disclose this. It appears that the previous owners have coated the flatbed and the floor boards with some type of coating. It looks nice and appears to be quite durable. I don’t see any major problems with rust, but there is some visible surface rust inside the door panels and on the roof on the inside of the truck (under where the headliner would be). The seat is not original but fits in the cab very well and looks good. I have the door panels that need to be covered and installed (see pictures) I also have some other misc parts that are in the picture that will go with the truck. It is missing the headliner. The headlights and taillights work but you will need to get the wipers working and a few other misc items.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.
This appears to have a replacement body and a M-38 windshield.
“Good condition, Runs excellent. 5 Military Michelin Radials. ”
Not stock, but appears solid.
“Restored w/ 326mi on new engine. Engine is 1964 173c.i. Chevy II (Iron Duke). New paint, one bikini top, one full enclosure top w/ doors, new brakes, brake lines and master cylinder. Excellent condition and parade ready.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a no reserve auction. It’s not perfect, but appears solid.
“We bought this Willys from the US Forrestry Department and painted it Army green. It runs great and is as solid a Jeep as you will find. When it was painted, there was absolutely NO rust repair. We’ve used it in a couple of parades and has sat in the barn now for five years. My wife says I’ve got to clean out the barn and and get rid of items I don’t use. It was fun to own but needs to go to someone who will appreciate it better.
I’m offering this for sale on ebay only and will not sell it outside the auction. We have a shipping company and can arrange shipping in an enclosed trailer for a fee. E-mail me your zip code for a shipping estimate. The spare tire is the original tire and I bought a new spare tire mount but never installed it. I’ll put a new battery in the Jeep when it sells. Good luck and thank you for viewing my auction.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
It sounds as if this has been sitting in a barn for quite a few years.
“1946 Willy’s Jeep
This has been our family ranch jeep since 1992. Since then then it has been in our covered barn gathering dust. I would like to find a new owner that will take care of this ’46 treasure. The jeep features:

– 4 wheel drive & transfer case in working order (manual locking hubs)
– tow bar and light hook up
– interior has spay in bed liner

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
There appears to be some value here.
“1948 Willys for sale. Complete body and driveline. Not running (I do not believe the engine is seized) and no title. Has a Borg-Warner overdrive. Some rust in tub under drivers seat. Body straight for a 65 year old. Needs a little time and elbow grease. This is a great project vehicle and a greater price. The pictures show it as I bought it, complete with leaves. I have cleaned it up a bit and took it off the frame. I put four newer tires and wheels on it. I’ll throw in two extra fenders (left and right) and a hood. Wife says get it out of the yard.”
