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 $300.
Someone can probably make use of this.
“From the firewall back this is the body from a 1942 Ford GPW (jeep). Body only, missing almost all accessories and glovebox lid/cover (see photos). There is no bondo or patching work, the pan/floor has been replaced in the forward compartment. What you see is what you get. There are quite a few rust areas.”
UPDATE: This sold. Was priced at $1000.
With four combat rims and a body that doesn’t look too bad, this might be worth a look.
“Includes four original combat rims. ”
Looks good. The bumper looks different, but I can’t quite tell why.
