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: Was $14,500. **SOLD**
Not perfectly original, but looks well cared for.
“This is 1942 GPW world war 2 jeep. It has been painted and worked on so it is not completely original.
It runs good and has great interior on the front and back seats.
We are also unable to read the odometer so we have not listed the odometer reading.
Definitely a collectors item for those interested.”
UPDATE: Was $7000. **SOLD**
Looks like a good price.
“1943 Ford WWII GPW Jeep
Frame Number: GPW 125688
Engine Number: GPW 12309
This GPW runs, drives and stops. And has many “F” marked parts on it. It is using a Willys head on the GPW block. You do not find a matching number frame and block like this jeep. Has lock out hubs on the front axle for smother driving.”
Only one pics. Sounds like one is a slat MB.

“his jeep was used in the film industry. It would be good for a restoration. I had put a new gas tank, rebuilt carb and rebuilt starter and new battery. The electrical has been converted to 12 volts. It also has a Stainless steel role bar with lights. It needs a ring gear for fly wheel. I have the part. I have all the parts that are NOT seen in picture. I am disabled and cannot finish. Done all I can. This jeep deserves a full restore. It has a PTO winch in the back. Needs paint and small amount of body work (hood and driver fender). All original parts also some extra parts that come with it.”
Maybe someone can use this?

“Currently restoring a 1943 Ford GPW and bought this tub to replace my original tub that came with my Jeep. Had this tub for a little over 3yrs and was slowly prepping it for my restoration. While restoring the tub I found an original Ford GPW ACM Type I tub, so this one went into storage. Asked several of my Jeep friends if they wanted this tub and got no response, so its going up on here.
UPDATE: Was $9,750. **Status Unknown**

Runs and drives. May be worth a look.
“1943 Ford GPW / F-Script Jeep.
Used on ranch for the past 50+ years. Starts, runs, drives. Can be used for ranching, stump pulling or hunting. Not a Parade Queen, but a hundred smiles to the gallon. Twin Stick Xfer case, 4×4 works. 4 cyl. Go Devil motor. 3 Spd. manual shift. No title, bill of sale only. Cash on the barrel preferred, no trades please.
Includes extra hood, wind-shield insert, (needs glass) and a couple of old army rims. Recent rebuilt starter, front brakes, and carb. Speedo, Oil PSI & Engine Temp gauges work. 10 Gallon fuel tank under driver’s seat. Converted to 12v. It’s a blast out on the trails. Too many projects in the barn”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
While the seller believes this is the original hardtop, according to the bottom of this 3B page the hardtop below was specifically built for civilian jeeps. It should have a tag identifying it as an “Arctic Top” and the manufacturer as Metro Engineering and Manufacturing Co. of Detroit, Michigan. The jeep sure appears solid.
“It has an original hardtop on it. It has 4 combat wheels with new 600-16 military tires. It runs and drives good and stops good. Frame and body match and motor stamped gpw. The body isn’t terrible but has a few places that could be fixed. All in all it is a nice jeep. It has a clear Missouri title. If you have any questions please call.”
