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 a May of 1945 GPW Ford Built Jeep. Has original Data plate that matches frame GPW 2589**. It is a major project but these are about the easiest thing out there to restore. Has a later F head willys motor currently. Does have original tow bar on front and lots of original “f” marked parts. I also have the correct air filter, correct radiator, correct voltage regulator. Has correct f marked front seats and correct gas tank still in it. Original dash with gauges. Rust in front floors. No title, but does have old black plate and years worth of old registrations that match the numbers in the glove box. Again it has rust, body need lots of work. The other jeep in the background is not for sale!”

It runs and drives. Engine isn’t stock.
“For sale is a 1942 Ford GPW World War II Jeep. No 88865. Clear MT title! It starts and runs excellent. It stops great. Steering is tight and goes straight down the road. Odometer says 29599 mi. It has a newer F head willys jeep engine that has a lot of power. That is why it has the hood scoop looking thing on the hood to clear the carb on the newer engine. It was rebuilt in 1970 and has only gone about 10,000 miles since. It has a rebuilt carb and fuel pump. New plugs and a fresh oil, filter, and antifreeze change. It does not have the original gas tank, it has one that someone mounted between the rear wheel wells. It runs and starts amazing! The transmission and transfer case shift excellent and the four wheel drive works great. The front end, rear end, trans, and transfer case have all been serviced with new oil. It does need new tires as they are cracked and in bad shape.
It has some typical rust in the floor as seen in the pix and also the sides by the foot well and storage compartment, but overall it is a pretty solid body. It has been repainted many times over the years, but you can still see the army green in spots and even the star on the hood. It also has some letters on the rear quarter panel that look like they spell “Jonny” or “Sonny” and also what looks like an army insignia like you would see on the side of a bomber or fighter plane, but I cannot tell what it is. It looks like a sun with a red fist holding an arrow. It was painted on the original army green color and with some work could probably be revealed. I do not know if it has it on the drivers side also as the paint is not flaking off as much as on the other side. You can also see part of the army numbers on the side of the hood. The seats are out of a 1969 Mustang. Don’t let the ugly paint fool you, this is a very nice old jeep.”
