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 .
Can’t tell how good the floor is (or is not).

“For Sale or Trade: This is a WWII GPW Ford Script Jeep manufactured on May 11, 1942 with a low production number. It has survived with it’s serial number and instruction plates still intact and will have a clean Kentucky Classic Car title. We just pulled it out of the weeds and don’t have it cleaned out yet, so I’m not sure what parts are there or if the serial numbers match. It does roll and steer and seems pretty solid. There is body damage just below the “Ford” script area, but I believe a good sheet metal fabricator could repair it. The metal is basically solid all around the tub. The floor pans are bad, I would say. As you can see in the pictures, there are small “fender skirts” over the rear wheels. These are very solid and appear to be factory but could be an add on. The dash and instrument gauges are intact and look pretty good. I’ll add more info and upgrade the pictures when we get it cleaned up. Asking $1450 for this unusual find…..Would love to see this rare piece of U.S. military history from the Great Generation restored to its war-time glory and rolling down Main Street America in a 4th of July parade!”
There is some history left in this, but some missing, too. I assume the price is negotiable.

Has a few updates.
“Flatfender MB/GPW Jeep. Flathead 4 cyl L134 Engine. Some mods, some stock, great running little jeep. New brakes–Less than 500 miles. Classic vehicle with nice options looking for a new home. Had this stored for the past 15 years and am taking on a new project with my son. Not a rusted piece of junk like some of the other stuff you see out there, but not a show truck either. Come take a look and see if this is your dream Jeep.”
