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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 $2000.
The body appears to be a little rough, but hard to tell just how much given the paint job.

(06/29/2012) This looks good. I can’t tell if the passenger side is a little discolored or if it is just the light and a reflection.

“You are looking at a 1942 Ford GPW military jeep. Restoration was started over 10 years ago and never completed. Motor, trans, transfer case, and axles have been rebuilt. The body is an aftermarket piece and sits on a very nice straight and rust free frame. Have most parts to complete (some not pictured) and will be included with the sale.”
UPDATE: Was listed at $7500. Status Unknown.
This may be worth a look. Tranny was stuck in 3rd gear.
“1942 Willies Jeep. This is actually my dad’s jeep and he asked me to sell it. This jeep has sat in the barn for years. It would be great for a collector. The last time I drove it, it only had 3rd gear. This Jeep was displayed at the Tillamook Air Museam.”
I’m guessing it has been a while since this won trophies. Looks like it might have been nice at one time though.
“350ci built Chevy engine. Fulie heads, Edelbrock torker, Holley, fender well headers, Turbo 350, custom Dana 44’s front and rear with 4.27:1 gears. Posi front and rear. Full cage, Deist 5 point harnesses, dual batteries, Ground Hawg tires. Has won many trophies for show. Very fast! Unbeaten off-road.
Now the bad news: the jeep has been siting for several years. Has rust, and occasional glitch in the transfer case (jumps out of gear once in awhile.) I think it is a linkage adjustment problem. Transfer case was rebuilt approx. 50 miles ago. With some TLC, this jeep could be one of the best in the State, as it was 20 years ago. If you are mechanically inclined, and are looking for an awesome project, this may be for you! I have over $20K in this machine. Now it just sits in the yard. Asking $3,800. Would consider trade for small pickup truck.
