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 $16,000

Major Joe forwarded some pics from the 2013 Military Vehicle show at Falcon Field in Mesa, AZ. There were quite a few jeeps at the event. Thanks for sharing!
He wrote, “I attended the annual Military Vehicle show at Falcon Field here in Mesa Saturday (had to find another way to get my Willy’s/Flat fender fix since your site was down!). Anyway, I thought I’d share the pics with you (attached). It’s a great event, and included military motorcycles, dozens of non-jeep vehicles, a half track, helicopter, and many aircraft (always on display since this is the home of the AZ chapter of the Commemorative Air Force).”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200
“1942 GPW matching numbers title frame and engine. Very hard to find! Engine runs well, 90 PSI all cylinders. 50 PSI oil cold, drops to 40 plus at fast idle warm. T-84 intact. Tub could be saved, but not for faint of heart. Missing: Correct grill, seats, gas tank and rear script. Incorrect air cleaner, oil filter (has full flow) and wheels. Very good frame.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The front frame rails look a little odd. I’m guessing they weren’t repaired correctly.
“For sale my super straight 1942 Ford Willys GPW that comes straight from a private museum.

I’m generally pretty good with match, but I can’t figure out how the matching numbers on this jeep match. The rear of the body looks dented inwards.
“Great Project
Matching numbers
Frame # GPW183017
Body # 17539
Engine # 1830172
New Battery
Four 15 inch Rims included ( Odd ball 13 inch on the jeep now)
I got it running but it’s been sitting for a few months, had to use a gas can because tank is rusty but could be repaired.
Previous owner had the running gear gone thru, you’ll have to look at it to decide.
