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 $4950.
“Very original and ready for restoration. Engine turns over but has not been run for years.”

‘I have for sale a beautifully restored World War II original Army jeep. This is the real thing! Not a civilian version but an actual war production jeep! It is a GPW made by Ford on a contract during the war using the Willys design.
This jeep needs nothing but a driver. I’ve owned it for 6 years now and enjoyed ever minute of it. The ONLY reason I’m letting it go is because I need the money for another project that I’ve found.
This jeep has everything! It has a new canvas top hot summer days. It has a new canvas windshield cover for blackout operations, along with new canvas headlight and mirror covers for blackout operations. The blackout light do work. This jeep has all of the accessories: fire extinguisher, oil can, first aid kit, shovel, axe, gas can, water can, rifle rack, and tow rope. The tires are so new they even still have most of the rubber nipples on them!
I also have a 37mm anti tank cannon axle that I was going to build a replica of and tow behind the jeep for display. These are very hard to find because most of them were cut up after the war. This axle is complete from hub to hub and only had couple of brackets cut off of it during the demilitarizing process from the government. I also have 2 wiring harnesses to go with the axle that were used to clamp the tail lights onto the barrel of the cannon during transport.
If you buy the jeep I will add in the axle and wiring harnesses with clamps and tail lights at no additional charge. Other wise I will sell the axle for $700 alone with the harnesses.
I d have a free and clear title for it in NC.”
Looks like a good parade jeep.
“1942 Ford Script tub on a ’47 CJ2A frame and motor. The hood number is an educated estimate appropriate for an early GPW based on reference materials.
* New brake systems: rebuilt master cylinder, wheel cylinders, all new steel lines, flex hoses, and shoes/hardware.
* New distributor, cap, rotor, points, condenser, ignition coil, spark plug wires, spark plugs.
* New Solex carb.
* New wiring harness. ALL NEW WIRING. Everything works the way it’s supposed to.
* Lots of misc.: Horn, new gas tank sump well and all new fuel lines, fuel filter (correct type), frame bump-stops, glove box door data plates, re-packed wheel bearings, new oil filter housing, new black out lights, tail lights, light switch, ALL NEW GAUGES, hand brake works, dash lights are correct, ignition. switch correct, new glass for windshield frame, F-script on most major parts, NEW SHOCKS, & more….
This is a turn-key restoration. The tub is still rough in spots but it is an original Ford script – VERY RARE tub. Perfect for re-enactors. There is a summer top for it as well.
Asking $15,000. Runs like new and very spirited.
Serious inquiries only. Can deliver locally within reason. Jeep is in NW suburbs of Chicago.”

“We are selling a 1941 Willy Jeep in great condition. If you have any questions please contact Louie for additional information about this jeep. I don’t have more pictures of this Jeep.
Louie takes very good care of his vehicles. It has been stored in his garage.”
The California Automobile Museum (location) in Sacramento has at least three. I have been there yet, but it might be a potential stop on our California tour in March. The M-38 and CJ-2A were photographed by Jack Snell in August of 2013 (more great jeep photos by Jack in his photo stream).
This 1951 M-38 looks good:

The museum also has a 1943 GPW which was photographed and posted here along with other images from the museum. Below is the photo of the GPW:
UPDATE: **SOLD Quickly** Was priced at $500.
Sounds like it has potential. No pics provided.
“Not sure exactly what year jeep (1942-1945) GPW jeep. All is there (motor,trans and drive train. Currently doesn’t run. Be a great restoration project or lease vehicle. Tires are flat so need a come along or winch on trailor to pull it up. NO TITLE.”

(04/02/2013) This is supposed to have an early serial number: #19984.
“1942 ww2 jeep gpw-19984
Have pink and is currently on non-op
Still has original style T-84 transmission
Tub is pretty rusty and someone skinned the back half with sheet metal, I removed the back part
Previous owner said the motor was rebuilt shortly before he bought it and he didn’t get much use out of it before the brakes went out
Brakes need to be gone through and fixed, currently it is rigged up where just the fronts work
Oil pan was dropped and cleaned out (which ended up being pointless) when I got it before I got it running
Has been converted to 12 volt, just put a brand new battery in it
Starts, runs, and shifts great
Would make a great restoration project
$2700 obo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
This is likely a mix of parts.
