About eWillys
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.
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 priced at $4250. That price included a trailer.
“1942 GPW Military Vehicle. It has 5 new non-directional tires mounted on military combat rims. The vehicle comes with a matching trailer that also has non-directional tires. The vehicle has been converted to 12 volt system since the pictures were taken. It runs and drives, all the 4-wheel drive components work. Both 4-wheel low and high. It is a 4 cyl. L head motor. The vehicle is as is. You can see from the pictures that the body is not perfect. I have some extra parts, ( windshield with frame, original back bumpers, gas can holder, original rear trailer hook, and the original 6 volt generator and voltage regulator.”
“Have a 1942 Ford GPW (jeep) in totally restored condition. All original with matching numbers. Garage Kept. Must see!! Asking $18,000.00. Call Lee at (229) 251-3029.”
This no reserve auction has already reached a bid price of $3500. It has no motor.
“You are bidding on a rare 1You are bidding on a rare 1942 ford script gpw jeep. This ford jeep has the willys frame with gpw serial number stamped on it which to my understanding is rare as ford used willys frames only in February and March of 1942. The serial number is ( gpw 5204 ) the frame, data plate and title all match, Date of delivery is 3-10-42 . I have a clear Colorado title for the jeep.
Unfortunately the engine was removed so the jeep does not come with a motor. I do however have a completely rebuilt civilian flat head 4 cylinder that the winning bidder can purchase if they so choose.
The transmission is an original T-84, I have taken it apart cleaned, sandblasted and primed it. I bought some new bearings, seals, small parts kit and a few other things to rebuild the transmission, its ready to put back together.
The transfer case I took apart and cleaned, It still has the original OD on it so I decided not to sand blast it. The emergency brake pad is in great shape. I bought seals and bearings for it and its also ready to be put back together.
Seat frames, front fenders, head lights, marker lights, radiator, body handles, ax bracket, leaf springs, axles, U bolts, and a lot of bolts are stamped F along with much much more.
The steering wheel is original and in great condition with no cracks.
Speedometer looks really nice
Comes with 3 combat wheels
has original exhaust pipe and muffler
original drive shafts
very nice windshield frame with the hardware to mount the canvas top, no cracks in the glass ether.
the frame is in great shape but does need a new rear bumper as part of it was cut off.
The body is in good shape with a very nice Ford script on the back. The brace under the passenger seat has some rust coming through on top of the floor but under neath is almost perfect, in front of that is very nice and solid with no rust. The rear floor does have some gone through rust in it so will probably need replaced or patched up. tool boxes are in good shape, there is a little gone through rust where the ax handle goes and the fuel tank sump should probably be replaced. Other than that the body is very nice and has the patina look to it….”
“1942 Ford GPW military jeep. This is definitely a project waiting for the next owner to bring her back to life. This jeep has always been in the family, lastly with my father in-law who towed it behind his RV for many years. Sadly, it has seen little use in the last 10 years and with his recent passing, I have been asked to find a new owner. Appears to be original drive train. Many spare parts included. Engine does run but vehicle will need to be trailered away as condition of brakes & drive train is unknown and probably not safe. I don’t know a lot more about its condition but e-mail with any questions and I’ll try my best to answer them. Also, I just trailered the Jeep to my business where it’s more convenient to show. E-mail for directions. $2,000 OBO. Thanks for looking.”

“From the firewall back this is the body from a 1942 Ford GPW (jeep). Body only, missing almost all accessories and glovebox lid/cover (see photos). There is no bondo or patching work, the pan/floor has been replaced in the forward compartment. What you see is what you get. There are quite a few rust areas.”
