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 $1200
This is a mix of MB/GPW parts and CJ-2A.
“I have basically a complete 1946 CJ2A that is completely disassembled. I restored a 1943 GPW for a guy and have this parts Jeep leftover. Almost everything is there, but it is a major project or parts for your project. Have an Iowa title, but can not find a VIN on the frame. Usually not a problem with these older Jeeps.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2800.
(05/16/2013) It’s a little beat up and doesn’t run.

This jeep was saved from a scrapyard.
“2 Ford GPW Jeep for parts or restoration. Serial number shows date at around April 1944. Has a later model F head motor installed that is probably stuck. Body is rough with a lot of rot in floor. Rough extra body tub with good floor and other needed parts is included in the sale of this Jeep. Drivetrain, except motor, looks original and complete, working condition unknown.
Lots of “F” script parts and accessories are still present on this Jeep. Interested local buyers are welcome to look it over for themselves. Could be a wealth of parts to complete your GPW Jeep restoration, or….? No title or paperwork.
Please, no texts, low-ballers or scrappers. This Jeep was saved from the scrapyard, and it isn’t going back to it…”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,750.
Looks solid.
“Original-the way Ford built it in 1942. Garaged, no rust. M-1 rifle rack
Rebuilt engine, transmission, wiring. Current California registration and clear title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
George forwarded this nice looking GPW for sale in the UK.
“Her name is “Diana”
Our understanding is that this Jeep has always been in the UK from 1943 and was based with the U S 8th Air force.
Fully restored three years ago by a well known UK Jeep restorer during which time no expense was spared, she is virtually a brand new GPW and must be one of the very best. She drives without any issue’s and the side valve engine pulls very well.
Everything you could wish to specify this Jeep has, even down to her 1942 U S spec Jerry can.
A bonnet bag complete with a full weather kit is included also.
Also there is an (unfitted) “Ohio Brass” Ariel and mast kit complete with mounting bracket.
Not the cheapest GPW in the country but well worth every single penny, an appreciating asset.
She is 110% gorgeous and will not disappoint.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
Looks like enough parts to make a jeep. Everything looks clean, too.

There may be some value here.
“Up for sale is a 1943 Ford GPW (Jeep Willys) that need complete restoration. I got this a couple of years ago in hopes to restore a piece of history, but I just have too many projects to give this the attention it needs. The pics don’t show it well, but the windshield is laying in the front seats. I also, have the title in hand. Please do not just ask if this is still for sale? I will not respond to that question, if the add is still posted it is still for sale and I will remove it once sold. Thanks for looking.”
