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: **Status Unknown**
This looks very restorable.
“1943 WWII Ford built Jeep. Definitely a rebuild project. Last ran in 1997. Has had some body work done but needs more, may need some engine work, has rust. Original engine. 5 tires and rims.
More photos available.”
UPDATE: Was priced at $8950. Now on eBay.
(05/09/2011) The seller also has the M-38 for sale below. This has several mods.
“1943 Ford GPW Military Jeep, Buick V-6, new T90 3 spd transmission and Dana T18 transfer case, new Beechwood Canvas top and seats, rebuilt overdrive, new 7.00-16LT NDCC military tires, new painless wiring harness, lots of receipts, rust free body, runs and drives great. I have 2 other flat fenders and no time to enjoy, so time for someone else to love this WW II jewel.”

UPDATE: Was $3000. **SOLD**
This used to be a GPW …
“I have a great start to a GREAT jeep rig! An aftermarket (ie NO rust) ’42 gpw flatfender jeep, painless wiring system installed, 6 point rollcage, even a safari rack on top of that, tub is on a CJ 7 boxed frame. linked axles: Dana 44 up front, a BUILT 14 bolt in the rear! (will pop covers and see what gears they are), good windshield, heater installed, and autometer gauges.
The bad: The axles link system was NOT done correctly. Lots of good parts to reuse but needs to be done, correctly! Did have a amc 360 in it with a four speed. They are long gone! But, at least the clutch and brake peddles have already been converted to top swing peddles.”
It is a project. It would not shock me if this wasn’t actually complete.
“Complete but disasembled. New suspension parts. Good used 600×16 tires for rollarounds.”

UPDATE: This is now listed here under Bothell
(07/24/2011) The seller says the value is $3500 in one spot but then lists the price at $4000 in another location.
“I have a running and driveable 1942 GPW Jeep for sale. Its no 90838 of the 260,000 +/- made by ford during world war II.

The things that make take it away from being orginal is it has chrome wheels a 2 inch lift, gas tank move to the back (rather than under the seat) it also has a chevy 283 in it (all the rest from what I can tell is stock or orginal. It also has high back seats.

It has some dings and dents, but appears complete and solid.

This is the newest GPW scam on Craigslist. There were a variety of ads for this jeep appearing across the US. I have flagged the ones I found.
See an example of the full ad here.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was no price.
This runs.
“Body Rough , Runs , no time to restore”
This looks solid.
