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 .
Gerald spotted this M-38A1-turned-flower-planter near the Crafted Warehouse at the Port of Los Angeles. There appear to be salvageable parts left.
Bob’s down in Spanish Fort, Alabama, to photograph the Godaddy.com Bowl on Sunday when Kent State battles Arkansas State. Of all the events at that bowl, I’m thinking the coaches wives got the best gig: lunch at Wintzell’s Oyster House (a good place to eat if Yelp is to be believed). Uh oh, now I’m hungry. Anyway, while down there, Bob spotted this poor old truck at Felix’s Fish Camp (another good place to eat). It appears rooted permanently to the beach. Of course, he thought of us ….
About the truck Bob says, “I looked under the hood and the truck still had the straight 6. Frame was almost rusted in half and the top was gone on the truck. Pretty cool though!’
Bob spotted this tired old jeep. Hard to see much value here.

Eric spotted this one. The seller doesn’t want to junk this. There could be a little value in this poor, sad jeep.
“Old Willys Jeep. ROUGH SHAPE. Might be good for parts. Would like to see it used instead of going to the crusher. Any interest call 617-898-7440”

This looks sad. The colors are cool.

If you ever wanted to do someone unusual to a Jeepster, this is a candidate. Looks pretty rough, yet pretty straight.

“Hello I have for sale a great classic Willys jeep. It was produced in 1950. As you can see it is not in the best of shape. It is definately a project for someone. These willys jeeps are timeless classics. Unfortunately I know nothing about it. I got it from a friend of mine in a trade. I was going to fix it up but I just dont have the time. I am asking $1000 cash. Which I think it very much worth it for this classic jeep. If you are interested in coming to take a look at it. Please give me a call at 432-two0two-6719. Names mark..Jeep has a clean clear title as well.”

A little duck tape and some bailing wire and this is good to go!
“I’m selling a ’42 GPW, GPW 23679 D.O.D. 4-29-42 I bought this one for parts for myself and now have no need for it. Figured I would list it here vs. taking it to the scrapper!
The frame is in good shape, the front horns are the best I have ever seen! just the Bubba bumper on the front and the civi attachment on the rear
The tub has rot on the left rear where the tail light hole and tool box floor would have been (I’m including a tool box section from another tub) floors need to be repaired/replaced- tool box lids are in good shape, but as mentioned before the tool box’s are themselves rotted….. the pioneer tool area is in good shape, some rot but repairable, dash was cut by previous owner to remove the guages but is included and can be stitch welded back in, glove box was also removed by PO and had the original tags on it ( will give you his contact info if you need it) this one was early enough to have a flat bottom on the glove box and could be easily fabricated. Driver seat is a small mouth gas tank seat but the seat back was modified with another frame, passenger seat is F marked but will need new swivel mounts/ feet. Fenders are in decent shape, support channels are not rotted out like you typically see but the do have there share of dents and bends in them.Hood is original to this jeep, is F marked and in decent shape, some rot on the support. Its missing the left axle shaft in the pics but I have a Willys one I will include, the front left hub is off in the pics as well but is included.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“Up for your consideration is a 1942 Ford GPW. Willys and Bantam also made these type of Jeeps. This unit went into service November 30, 1942. Not sure of any history during service however, I did research and found this GPW was sold at a WAA auction September 11. 1946 in Jacksonville Fl. From what I know a neighbor of my Grandparents went to Jacksonville on that day and purchsed this GPW. He used it as a hunting vehicle around our rural area. He was an avid bird hunter with trained dogs so he cut the rear of the tub out and moved it forward to act as a divider between him and his bird dogs. The GPW was parked at sometime in its life under a pole barn for what appears was head gasket change. Unfortuneately, it was never reassembled. After the mans death is sat many more years until new owners of the farm tore down the barns and this GPW was put out to pasture (literally). I aquired the GPW after it sat outside for about a year. Pictures speak louder than words so please look closely and ask any and all questions prior to bidding. The windshield, cylinder head, and hood (possibly other items) were not able to be found. I will include a link to a photobucket album for more pictures. The GPW has a lot of the Ford Script parts such as fuel filter, radiator cap, pintle hitch and probably much more.One item that is very unique is a period correct watch faced engine hour meter. . . .
