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 .
Bob took this photo and reports, “I shot this today in waynesburg, Ohio. It’s a 1945 GPW that went up for auction. It was good looking from 25 feet but had some bad floor repairs, a bit if painted over rust, wrong motor, wrong seats, etc. went for $4700. There were a lot of little parts to be had also but nothing special.”
Rough and missing parts.
“ROUGH CONDITION. NEEDS FLOOR PANS ALSO NEEDS FRAME REPAIRED . REAR OF TUB HAS BEEN RE-SKINNED WITH GALVANIZED SHEET METAL. MISSING TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE. FLATHEAD ENGINE IS STILL COMPLETE EXCEPT CARB. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS JUST ASK. JEFF 478 550 69 FOUR SEVEN”

Gerald is selling his GPW.
“1942 Ford GPW Military Jeep s/n 66717 Delivery date 9-21-42. Great candidate for a restoration project. Original frame, bodyand drivetrain are all there but will need attention.
Original grab handles, spare tire carrier, steering wheel, seat frames, headlight buckets and many of the small parts have been removed and are solid. They are F script.
In fact, Body, frame and engine block s/n all match dash plate. That is very rare! This will be it’s first rebuild. It was in the United Kingdom in 58 and was titled in Pennsylvania in 59. So it came back home and must of seen WWII action.
This is a survivor who needs to be saved. Breaking up the parts would be a shame. It’s had many coats of paint, exposure and a partial disassembly. And yes rust, but there is plenty to work with.
I’ve never had this Jeep running so operating condition is unknown but I’m sure its had quite a life. Don’t think this is a cream puff. She has seen some action and will need lot’s of attention.
This was one of the earlies Jeeps made from the Willys design and is almost 70 years old. Let’s keep this Veteran Rolling.
Local pick-up and cash talks. Thanks”
Josh is doing some garage cleaning. Check out all his stuff here including some original spring seats.

“This is a 1942 Ford Military Jeep with the original 4-cylinder flathead, chassis and drive train. It purrs like a kitten. I bought this Jeep in 1976 and have driven it a few miles each year. I used it for many years at the Reno Air Races and to haul about broadcast production equipment. It has a sturdy roll bar and nice wheels. Tires are…..well, about 35 years old! Hah! Same Big O Tires I put on when I bought it. I did convert it from 6V into a 12V system for easy starting. Yes, all the lights are 12V too. The engine has been well-maintained by a friend who once worked for the original Harrah’s Automobile Collection. That’s the reason the engine purrs like a kitten. Leaks? Nope. One of the few 1942’s that DOES NOT LEAK OIL between the bell-housing and the transmission. It has front hubs and caps for the rear axle if you feel like towing it like a wagon. The windshield folds forward which is a great way to tour through the countryside. It has high range and low range 4-wheel drive and it all works flawlessly. The seats are early-American UGLY. They fit my posterior just fine but thus far, I have not been ticketed by the fashion police for such truly dreadful-looking seat covers. The body is a Willys. Someone put the body on before I purchased it in 1976 so while the body says “Willys”, the title proudly reads 1942 Ford convertible. Yup, that’s the DMV. I keep it up on the trailer because I prefer to haul it to where I’m going. After all, this Jeep is older than I am by four years and I’ve always tried to baby it. The trailer can be purchased separately if you so desire. Not too many of these military jeeps left around the countryside – especially one that is so mechanically sound. You can drive him down the freeway at 55-60 all day long. Really turns some heads.”
UPDATE: Was a ‘Make Offer’. Status unkonwn.
The seller is listing this as a CJ-2A, but the body and fenders are military.
“Parting out this 1940s flat fender Willys CJ2. It has been in a fire so many of the parts are not useable, but many are just fine. Has original flathead engine. Please email for parts availability or make offer on whole jeep.”
“your choice. A brand new GPW OD green colored muffler system with install kit that has all bolts and mounts or original nice cond. $150.
6 Volt Delco Remy Generator that was on jeep before 12 V conversion. Think was off 55 Chevy originaly.
I have a heavy duty removable tow bar and bumper. The bumper may be original? The tow bar comes off easy with two bolts and so would the mount, but it ws welded and bolted and looks great with tow bar off and mount could be easily removed by just grinding weld and could still just use the bolts it has to tow. $295. or trade + cash for regular GPW bumper new or used.
I have a new never mounted Ford GPW or Willys 1941, 42, 43, 44, 45 WWII Army Jeep window mounted Carbine Rifle mount on OD green. $295.
