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 $20,000

This runs and drives, but needs some work.
“Front end and frame match numbers. Tub has been replaced with 50’s Willys jeep tub. 1943 MB Willys flat head 4 cylinder engine.Will run and drive, but needs to be gone through. Needs body work. Has tow bar. Transmission and transfer case work but needs some maintenance.”

This looks to be a GPW based on the front cross member.
“1945 Willy’s Jeep Mechanic Special project. Has not run in 6 years. All stock $3000 or best offer. Possible trades, no junk.”
UPDATE: Was listed at $5500. **SOLD**

UPDATE: Was listed at $7500. **SOLD**
This looks like a good price. Since the first GPW wasn’t built until February of 1942, I suspect this is not a ’41.

It includes a bunch of trannys and tcs.
“I have a Ford GPW that needs a good home. It just passed its 70th birthday. Engine, transfer case and transmission were pulled, fresh work done on the engine. This Jeep was never modified or cut up. It still has blackout lights and combat rims, 95% plus of the parts to put it back into original war configuration. A good title. It has some rust, less than most of the old Jeeps, and the tub is amazingly straight. It needs someone who is willing to strip her and put her back in olive drab.
It has the steering assembly, seats, windsheild assembly and so much more. It will come with a lot of extra parts, good for trading stock or sell to finance the restoration- 14 transfer cases, six transmissions, 2 differential housings, new replacement steel for the back panel and the gas tank area. There is a room full of parts to reassemble and a pallet of transmission/transfer cases.
I bought this in a fit of passion, disregarding that I really don’t have the area to restore. Cash is preferred, though something interesting in trade could work. I’ve always liked the fast old cars, not just the 2 corvettes I have today.
This could be so much more than just a parade vehicle, parts are available and cheap, and it is scary how much these are worth fixed up. Email me or give a call, 541-271-1597”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
Nick forwarded this find. The seller wants to sell everything together.
“My father was a very early (charter?) member of one of the first Jeep clubs in the country: the Yakima Ridgerunners (est. 1947). I am 65 and literally grew up in the back of his 1945 Military GPW Jeep. His WW2 Jeep was his baby, meticulously maintained, well-cared for, and always housed in the large barn on his property in Yakima.
Over the years he continuously added to his parts collection, and at the time of his recent death (April 2013) his WW2 military Jeep parts and parts Jeeps occupied a good share of the barn and adjacent shed building. Two of the Jeeps, plus a utility trailer built on Jeep axles, wheels, rims & tires, are titled, but only one is fully operational — his original, mint-condition 1945 GPW. But the WW2 era Jeep parts collection is extensive.
As the Personal Representative of his Estate I am now authorized to offer his entire “collection” for sale for $10,000 FIRM! I have received considerable interest, and several offers, for portions of this inventory, but wish to sell the entire “WW2 Military Jeep collection” in a single transaction, either to a single buyer or a group of buyers, but in a single transaction”
UPDATE: **SOLD**. These were listed at $2500.
“For sale two 1942 ? GPW ford WW2 jeeps .I was going to part out both Jeeps as they are loaded with original F marked parts ,but in my opinion both rolling frames are way to nice to be parted out and a great start to someone restoring a WW2 Ford in need of an original rolling frame or original tub. The first frame is in excellent original condition with lots of original paint and correct running gear . Frame id number is GPW101852. Machine gun mount ,original springs ,rear pintle hook and bumper gussets all there.
The second frame is also very respectable for its age with lots of original paint in tact . There is one area in need of repair in back of rear drivers side spring ,which was a common problem area on these jeeps. Can easily be repaired. ID number on this frame isGPW69089 with a star after the last number.
Both tubs are there but in need of replacement floor panels and some work . I have definitely seen much worse brought back to life. On the greenish looking tub there is an excellent pair of original F marked fenders and hood ,along with a decent drivers and passenger seat frame. There is also a rear seat frame that is rough at best .The Blueish tub is about the same with original fenders not as nice, but a very decent hood. There are no grilles included ,no body tags ,and widshields are rough. also no gauges. There is also one correct T84 transmission – transfer case with e brake assembly included ,and one good running motor .It has a GPW stamped head but not sure if its just the head or a military motor. No carb. Basically what you see in pictures is what you are getting and anything else I can find related.
$2500 for all of it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
I’m not sure what’s sticking out the back of this jeep.
“43 GPW with gpw block, head and as far is i can tell drive line…
It last ran sept 2012 and then some one took my carb…
tub is what you see, frame needs work at the back end but is pretty solid.
lots of “F” parts. and has an “F” pinnal hook
I have the data tag, is rough but you can get the #’S
for those of you who know what this is, you know it is worth saving, GPW’s are getting exteemly hard to find in any condition
needs total restoration
if you reply by e-mail please put GPW in the subject line or I will not respond
