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 .

“We have several CJ2 A Jeeps and one Ford Jeep for sale. All needs major repair/body work or you can use for parts and break them down. I don’t have prices or pics, but if you are interested, you can come and take a look.”
Seller has listed this at $100, but that might just be a random figure. It’s a mix of GPW and CJ-2A parts.
“’43(?) Ford GPW parting out. This project is just going to be to big for me. Bought it as a CJ2A but have just found out that it is a Ford GPW. Frame serial number was ground off for an engine support. Have tub (very ruff shape), frame and axels (JC2A not PGW axels). Looking at cutting it up and taking to the scrapers. So let me know if you need anything off of it.”

“1944 Ford gpw military jeep. The jeep runs and drives good, It has 4 new military tires on 4 original combat wheels. It is a gpw motor. The fuel tank is original and has been taken out and professionally redone. I believe the top is also original to the jeep. All the lights work 4 wheel drive works and brakes are good too. It still has the wood in the hat channels but they are rusted. Windsheild is extremely nice. The motor is still 6 volt and is original. It has rust where tool indentions are(see pics). The starter is not that old. It does have a heater but they cut a small hole in the dash to do it though, not to bad of a fix. It has a clear Missouri title.”
