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 .
It looks like some money was spend on this restoration.
“For Sale professionally restored 1943 Ford GPW. All parts (Over 15000$ in parts) documented. Never driven in snow, never been off road. Used only in parades – once a year. 500 miles since restoration. It is parked in Woodstock, IL”

The auction for this GPW was May 31st. Maybe it didn’t sell? Never hurts to check. One pics has just the driver’s side fender in it.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $450.
(04/29/2014) This has an old school feel. This may be a MB or GPW body/chassis. Note the hubs on the rear. What’s really interesting is the reshaped entrances for drive and passenger. It’s well done and gives the jeep a slightly different look.
“Bought this Willys to restore but have decided it is too much of a project for me. It is either a 2A or 3A (year and model unknown since no identification on body or frame and no title). It has a modified body, roll cage, frame and axles. Has a raised hood with one rust spot and lots of bondo (probably part of conversion to V8) and modified steering.
I installed used tires since the pictures were taken so I can roll it around. It can be used for parts or rebuilt. Looks like it had a Chevy v8 in it at one time. It has surface rust but metal seems solid (several holes have been cut into the floor and inner front fender wells for unknown reasons).
You may notice the rear axle is really a front axle installed in reverse (reason unknown) and pictures also show a Dana 18 transfer case (it has a hole in the side so case is not useable).
It appears to have re-arched springs to give it a 2-3 inch lift.
Asking $450 with wheels and tires (tires have minimum tread) or $350 without wheels and tires.Jeep is located in Helendale. I can deliver within local area (for a price) if necessary. No title, bill of sale only.
Look at the pictures and contact me if interested. Just trying to get my money back”

“942 Ford GPW Military Jeep. Does not run, and is missing many parts. No registration.”
No pics provided.
“I have a body that came off a Ford WW2 Jeep. Someone cut the rear panel for a tailgate. It has minor rusts issues on the floor, but it’s actually pretty solid for being 70+ years old. The sump is missing and a homemade glovebox was added over the original one.
Based on my research, this is actually a Ford “Script” tub , despite the missing Ford script rear panel.
Asking $300 Firm, and you pick up.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
(04/30/2014) Listed as a 1941 (none made in ’41), it is more like a late ’42 or later given the lack of script.

“!945 Ford GPW Jeep. Willis and Ford made identical jeeps for the army in 1942-1945. This vehicle underwent a frame off restoration and finished in army green gloss in 2000. All of the receipts are available as well a link to some of the restoration on video below:

The numbers match and body sequence is correct. The Jeep was manufactured in Ford’s Louisville plant in May 1945 and believed to have been used at Cory Navel Base in Pensacola and later sold to the West Virginia Highway Dept.”
