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 .

“1942 Ford GPW. Project worth restoring. We have owned this for about a year, before that it was sitting in a shed for something like 20+ years. I got it running and have moved it around the property a few times, sounds pretty good. I haven’t checked the data plate numbers yet but I think it is an early 1942. Frame looks pretty good, Body needs some work but I don’t see any rust issues. I have a drivers seat frame not in the picture. We do have a title, it was a lot of work and money but we got it. 42 GPW’s are getting very difficult to find these days and nice restored ones are getting very expensive. Foresthill is 15 minute out of Auburn off HWY 80.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
(08/28/2012) This runs and drives. It looks like the rear of the body has been patched and/or repaired.
“1942 Ford GPW for sale . Partial restore. Body clean, needs a little work, glass is good, seats restored, The engine purr’s like a kitten. The transmission is good, a bit of whirl in the drive line. New rubber on original rims. Electrical is good. Dash is in good shape with seal. Jeep also comes with a winch if needed (not installed), tow bars. Overall the jeep is clean and runs well. Mechanically it will not need a much work. Jeep runs great. Is a great restoration project that should be relatively easy. Gets a lot of thumbs up going down the road.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
This is a mix of MB/GPW parts and CJ-2A.
“I have basically a complete 1946 CJ2A that is completely disassembled. I restored a 1943 GPW for a guy and have this parts Jeep leftover. Almost everything is there, but it is a major project or parts for your project. Have an Iowa title, but can not find a VIN on the frame. Usually not a problem with these older Jeeps.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2800.
(05/16/2013) It’s a little beat up and doesn’t run.
