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 Estate Sale.
Doug just spotted this ad. I’d say three look like CJ-3As and one looks like a DJ-3A.

Guy found these videos with jeeps and nuclear blasts. Here’s a wagon before and (seconds later) after a blast (see 1:00 minute mark of video)
Here are a couple more vids he found.

Nate’s got this IHC Titan running. Check out how he starts it.
Marc spotted this interesting letter. It sold on eBay last month. It goes to show that even hard top makers were having problems finding material to build their aluminum top.
UPDATE: **SOLD** This is an early GPW sold on eBay.
“this Ford GPW was the 10,584th GPW built, and is one of the last ones made with a Willys frame. It has just been completely restored and has only four miles on it, it runs good but is some missing items like seat cushions, filterette, pioneer tools, oil can, canvas top, one J hook and some of the radio suppression straps. Most of the big parts are original and correct, and it has the original floorpans though they have been patched a little and the fuel tank well was replaced. The significant reproduction items on the jeep are the rear seat, spare tire rack, front bumper, air cleaner, horn, speedometer, oil/temp/amp gauges and data plates. Fenders, hood, windshield, fuel tank, front seats, radiator, grille, regulator, generator, fuel strainer and starter are original. The battery is new but not an antique style, it also has either period or new bolts in about three dozen places there should be F marked bolts, other than that this jeep is very correct. The jeep is registered non-op and has California plates and a clear title, it also comes with the original speedometer that should be repairable. The headlight switch is an original and has been not working correctly, it may have to be replaced if I can’t fix it in the next few days.
The tires are the repop Firestones, and all of the rims are original combat type, I do have a couple more radio suppression straps that are not in the photos that were installed later under the hood.
This is you chance to get one of the rarest GPWs made, in nice shape and ready for parades, reenactments or with some modest amount of parts and work a factory show jeep. If you have questions or would like more photos please ask, thanks for looking!”
This runs and drives. Starting bid $1000.

This is a project.
“Up for sale is Ford GPW 75591, DOD October 1942. I hate to sell this but I have other projects that I’d like to tackle. This project is in disassembled condition, as seen in the pictures. Everything (except the combat rims) in the pictures is included*. And there may be more items that if I can dig up I will add in. *If you choose to “buy it now” I will pull the original GPW/F marked radiator from my Slat grill and add it in, along with the 5 brand new reproduction combat rims shown in the last picture.
The original GPW parts include the GPW numbered frame, axles, springs, original tub with original data plate (though difficult to read), original fenders, hood, seats, pedal arms, pedals, and fuel tank straps. The following came with this GPW when I purchased it. I am unsure if they are original to this jeep but they are period correct: steering box and column, transfercase and parking brake. I also have information about from which Ford factory this was produced and a rather accurate original hood number range.
The parts that are not original to this jeep, but original and correct F MARKED PARTS INCLUDE the green spare hood, pintle hook, headlight buckets and arms, bullet marker lights, splash shield, bellhousing, flywheel, large bellhousing cover, T-84 transmission, transfer case arms, grill, correct SG marked radiator fan, and extra Ford Script tub.
WWII jeep correct items include the windshield, reflector bezels, NOS boxed fender blackout bulb, taillight buckets, flat-bottomed oil filter, auto-lite distributor caps, thermostat housing, oil pan, green sheller steering wheel, fuel tank, and rebuilt like-new 1944 dated fuel pump.
