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 .
It runs .. not bad for under $1000.
“Engine runs, needs work then again it is over 60 years old, hope the pictures say the rest. call 336 1865. Has Title.”

(04/22/2010) Here’s a GPW with a plow that looks solid, though the paint is rough.
“Here I have a 1944 Ford Jeep – I had it running last summer, need to get it running again. I have used it for snowplowing my driveway thats it.”
The paint looks rough, but I don’t see much obvious rust. It runs as well.

(05/06/2010) This is an interesting build. I bet it was modded back in the late 60s or early 70s. How about that steering wheel or the tight corners on those roll bars.
“I have inherited my grandfathers old willys jeep and unfortunately don’t have the money to do the proper restoration on it that it deserves. It is a little more than a fixer upper but it is the entire vehicle, it was never stripped for parts. My step dad got it running a couple years ago and drove it around the yard, but it has gone back to sitting. If you have any interest in it please feel free to contact me and I’d be happy to give you any info I can and or send some more pictures. If you are local we can even meet up and I’ll show it to you in person. This is not a stock willys. My grandfather did a lot of work on it himself and in its day it was an amazing machine. Has a small block V8, fold down front window(good glass), 4×4, tow hitch, roll bar, dual exhaust, and 3 speed manual, and about 114,000 miles(i think, the old odometers only went to 99,999 and then just rolled over again). I would love to see it go to a good home and the price is negotiable, but will be carefully considered.”
Here’s a parts jeep.

“1946 Willys CJ2A project for sale. I bought this jeep in New Hampshire last fall from a guy who said this jeep was “Done Right”. Well, my inexperience paired with my enthusiasm for the jeep impaired my vision. When I started sanding the bondo bubbles, I found that the whole back end was gone. I hired a guy to cut it all out and replace everything with 16 gauge steel. Now that everything is metal and this jeep is solid I am looking to sell it to someone who has the skills to finish the project and live the dream. Needs some bondo skimming over the grinded welds and where the new steel meets the old. It needs a radiator bracket fabricated to hold the brand new custom aluminum radiator that I bought for it. It needs a bracket modification to fit the alternator back on since I put a shallow water pump in. then this jeep should be ready to cruise around town and off road. There are other things of course, but you get the idea. It ran and drove when I bought it last fall. It just needs to be put back together.
the good: Has YJ leafs springs in the front which give it a big lift
Has a running 327 sbc motor
Has a muncie 4 speed
Has 34″ super swampers in 80% condition
Its all solid steel
Now its “Done Right”
Frame is Solid
Custom Dual side exit exhaust
all new brake lines”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was 3000
Lots of work done here. It needs a fuel pump at the very least.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1595.
(05/05/09) The body looks a little rough, but it runs. It looks like a good price.
“1950 CJ3A, about 62K original miles, factory drivetrain, 4 cylinder flat-head, newer solex carburetor, rebuilt transmission and transfer case, new brakes, new tires, hasn’t left town for 30 years. Runs excellent, needs top.”
This appears in pretty good shape.

There is plenty of value for the price if you are near this. This appears to have some old dualamatic hubs as well.

Gerben asked me to let readers know he was selling his GPA. He’s managed to take some unique pics, so there are some good views. I especially like the way he’s managed to lift the back and front (using a crane?).
“Ford GPA Amphibious jeep. This is a NOS (yes, new old stock) hull that was never used. I know for sure because I have drilled all of the holes for the springbrackets myself when we put the frame in for the first time. We inspected the wheelwells very carefully and sanded of the paint to see if there were holes welded. It was all flat sheetmetal and the only holes present were the ones for the shockabsorber pins and the breaklines
Some repairs are done due to sitting outside for perhaps years. The toprail on the left and rear part and some small parts of sheetmetal have been replaced. This was not done by me, one of the previous owners did that a few years ago. After that is was shotblasted and painted again.
The axels are rebuilt with new bearings, seals and brake parts. 4 new Firestone tires on original split rims. The frame and all of the other parts are used and from other GPA’s
All of the hard to get special GPA parts are there such as surfshield, bilge pump with 3 way valve, 12 volt generator, PTO for the propellor and pump, capstan winch with PTO and bracket on the engine, 6 blade fan with shroud and GPA radiator.
The engine is original GPA but has a crack above the distributor and needs repair. I will include a Ford GPW engine that runs good. The gearbox, transfercase and PTO are rebuilt and ready to be mounted.
The dash, front and rear deck, floors, frontseats are in great condition and only need minor repairs. Bottom of the rear seat needs to be replaced. The original fuel tank is in bad condition. A new handmade exact copy reproduction tank will go with the vehicle.
I think about 10% of the needed parts are missing. There is no title with the vehicle. A bill of sale only. The GPA is located in the Netherlands in Europe and can be viewed by appointment. I will sell worldwide and help on this end, but it’s up to the buyer to arrange and pay shipping.”

It looks in great shape.
