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 .

“This is an original, 1942 GPW Ford Jeep. It was built Dec. 21, 1942. This jeep is as complete and rust free as you will ever find. This jeep has always been garaged and has a clear Title.
The Ford GPW were manufactured from 1941 to 1945. These small four-wheel drive utility vehicles are considered the iconic World War II Jeeps
This jeep comes complete with all five combat rims and canvas. There are numerous extra parts, including the original carburetor, 6-volt generator and fire extinguisher. I have converted the lights and alternator to 12 volts for brighter headlights but the jeeps comes with its original regulator, original generator, gauges and tail lights etc …. everything to put it back into 6 volts.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
There appears to be value here.
“WWII Jeeps for sale!
Will sell together, will consider selling separately.
– `1941 Willys MB
Body tub, frame and axles. Plus the original SLAT grill.
– 1942 Willys MB
Pretty much complete.
– 1943 Ford GPW
Body, fenders, hood, WS frame, frame and axles.”
This looks pretty solid. One of the commenters believes this might be an early GPW.
“Up for auction is my Jeep Willys MB in very restorable condition. Very solid body and no rust on frame.(Don’t let the pictures confuse you) The only rust on the body is on both sides of the head channels, approx. 4” long. Can be repaired without removing panels. 5 Original Combat rims with all new tubes & tires. Engine turns by hand. Tranny, 4 wheel drive, Hi/Low levers move freely as they should. Vehicle stears nicely and rolls freely.
My opinion is that this is an easily restorable project. The vehicle is 90% there, all original including almost all original E C marked bolts and early zipper style cushions. (see pics) There is the original front bumper and wooden filler. I believe that the body was never taken off the frame. Vehicle has clean transferable title. It is titled as a 1943 Jeep Willys Ut, which I’m not sure is accurit, since I don’t have the original data plates. Vehical originally came from California.
Please examine all pictures closely, so you can see what you’re bidding on and all that is included in this auction. Here is a link to the photo album of 90 pictures:

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
(05/06/2012) This can’t be very far from me as Pasco isn’t that big of city. I’m leaving town tomorrow, so I doubt I’ll have a chance to check it out. It might have a GPW frame based on the crossmember.
“1943 Willys Jeep. Doesn’t run. Lots of parts to go with it. $1500. Make me an offer. Contact Tom for more info.”
This has a F-stamped front cross member. The body has been cruelly dissected.
“Up for sale is a old Ford GPW roller. missing engine, grill, hood, windshield. the hood and windshield do not go with that are in the pictures. this has the full floater rear end, 5:38 gears, tub has been cut to hell but is a true rare Ford. the frame is good but did have a plow. comes with a bill of sale only.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
The seller seems to want this to be a 1941, but the official GPW serial numbers begin in January of 1942.

The front clip includes some CJ-3A Parts. The front crossmember suggests this might be a GPW rather than a MB.
“This is a 1943 Willys MB Jeep. It does not run but is all there. This would make a good restoration project. ”
