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 sold at auction.

This appears to have a fairly rare Higgins remanufacturing data plate. The seller doesn’t list a location.
“If you’ve been looking for a great project, you’ve found it. I have a very nice 42 GPW for sale. Although not matching numbers, it does have the original data tags on the glove box that match the frame vin on the frame. The jeep is titled under the GPW vin on the engine. Excellent project if you are looking for an early jeep. It does have some rust but very little for its age. Jeeps in this condition with very little modification are getting harder and harder to find. Just came out of about two decades of storage. I will consider slat grill parts as partial trade. Please ask all questions before bidding.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
It’s a project.
“This is a 1944 ford GPW, which needs a total restoration. It has been restored several times before, looking at the different layers of paint I see evidence of a bright green and red paint job under olive drab layers. Possibly a “follow me” jeep from the local air base but I have no idea. It does have a grey GPW motor, which is interesting in that motor pool motors were painted green so this may be original. There are no data plates on the body but I did purchase a set that will go with the Jeep. I would replace the floor in this Jeep at minimum, but a replacement tub would be the easiest way to go. I have some small parts that the winner is welcome to.
It is missing the radiator and air cleaner stuff also grab handles and the like. What you see is what you get. and of course this is as-is where-is. I can deliver in New York or Penn for a fee, I can assist in loading.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
Looks promising.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000

“1945 Ford GPW Military Jeep similar to MB or Willys
This is a great old jeep and has lots of history. I purchased it 10 years ago from a man who got it from his uncle but had no interest. I drove this thing everywhere from the north coast, the central valley, foothills, to the Nevada desert… Just very slowly… And it turns heads everywhere I drive it!
I would love to see this GPW go to someone who is interested in restoring or at least leaving it in its semi-stock form. These rigs are becoming increasingly more difficult to find and this is a numbers matching GPW (frame, body, engine) that has a solid engine and decent body. It is certainly not perfect but also would not take much to turn it into a nice restoration or a fun weekend driver.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,500.

(03/082014) It runs, but dies.
“1942 ford jeep, you don’t see many of these around anymore. It’s fun to have but don’t have time for it. It has a flat head 4 cylinder. It will run and idle for a little bit and then die. The fuel cell has some rust in it that clogs the lines. It would be a fun little project for someone. Comes with a roll bar that was made for it and a hard top. Thanks for looking.”

UPDATE: SOLD. Was $14,000.
