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 .

Plenty of surface rust. Ok, Im not sure why, but that hardtop has a bit of an alien feel to me. Maybe it has just settled funny on the ground or something.

UPDATE: I thought this had been patched on the passenger side, but the seller notes that the metals stripes have been added to prevent damage during difficult terrain. The body was professionally repaired.

All body lights work along with headlights and brake lights.
The jeep is a CJ 2A ( has ID tags) with one exception the farmer I bought it from put a Cj 3a windshield frame on it. The glass in the frame has been replaced with new glass and new wipers were installed the wipers work off compression of the motor.
The Tub itself from the outside is in fair shape, the seats are newly covered and have no ware or tare . The floor in the tub is plated and the seats are NOT mounted correctly as per the year and model.
This jeep is 100 percent mechanically good to go. I have no more time to put into this jeep, it has been garage kept since I bought it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
Looks like a good foundation for a build.

(01/15/2012) The body has the Willys Script and appears in good condition. This might be a pre glovebox body!
“You are bidding on a 1941 Willys jeep with a small block 350 chevrolet with a mild cam, headers, edelbrock manifold and a holly carb. This jeep runs great, looks good and has 16 inch rims wrapped in 35 inch mud tires with a full size spare and matching rim. Please remember you are bidding on a 1941 Willys classic. The only reason that I am selling this is that I’m getting married and the future wife wants a sandrail. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. It really is a unique jeep.
“For your consideration, a nice 1942 Ford GPW jeep. Body is in nice shape structurally, although someone built a quality homemade roof out of thick metal on the body. Unfortunately, they cut down the body sides and middle of rear on original tub to accommodate the doors. Looks very professional, maybe was done in the service? ..I was told by original owner that it was surplused out and bought in this exact condition. I Have seen in books some similar conversions done in Europe after the war, to make the open jeep more comfortable…and useful. Would make a great reeinactors vehicle. Looks like a mini ambulance body. Rear floors and wheel wells are really nice shape. There is no rust in the back, looks like it had never been in the elements.
Floors are original, and very good except for a couple tin plates on the front, although there is original metal underneath.
Excellent original data plates, and dash, also windshield is very clean.
Frame is quite nice and is not rusted thru, just surface rust all over underneath. Needs a good sandblasting. The front gussets are mostly there, and with some grinding, the welded on reinforcement material can be removed without damaging the original frame.
Non – original, but well running Cj2a engine. Original t84 transmission and rest of drivetrain. Springs are original “ford” type in good condition on all four corners.
4 very good shape combat wheels are on the jeep. Also has nice ford radiator, air cleaner and lots of ‘f’ marked bolts. Has 2 ‘F’ marked seats in the front (pass. not shown).
Looking for the title ….Sold as is, no warranty…please email questions.
Thanks”
There’s value here.
“willys frame not sure the year. has motor, tranny, t case, and rear end. motor is a ford 4 cylinder, maybe out of a mustang 2. tranny and motor wont spin, has been covered and might not be to bad inside.

“This Jeep is a chick magnet, 8 hot girls have wanted to be my friends in responce to my ad.
Exalant project jeep 49 delivery wagon on a 57 chassis. Needs to be put together. Has 2 hoods and grills, It had wooden signs on it because in 49 there were sign painters everywhere but not custom truck painters. I got this jeep as a project but had Kidney failer in January and may now never get to it. I know it needs the drivers door glass wing and rollup all other glass is good. Needs wiper moter.I havn’t gone through it to see what else it needs. is setup for sbc350 (has one in it but prably only good for a core). Axles are jeep but look redone along with chassis Has front and rear bumpers origonal trans and t-case.”
It looks like this leans backwards from the windshield backwards. However, I’m kind of wondering if that is an optical illusion? After all, the hood looks flat. Hmm .. .The house behind it doesn’t lean though, so I suspect the lean isn’t caused by the camera.
