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 $4200.
This looks pretty good for the price.

“For Sale
1943 Ford GPW Military Jeep (Willys)
$3500 OBO
During WWII when Willys could not make Jeeps fast enough, Ford stepped in and produced 278,000 Jeeps to help in the war effort. This is one of those Jeeps. It is almost identical to the Willys MB but its small differences make it kind of fun to own.
All the running gear is correct for this vehicle. It starts and runs and it’s fun to drive. The transmission, 4 Wheel drive, High/Low range work fine. The brakes feel good.
o New Firestone NDT tires
o New combat wheels

This currently has a motorcycle tank in place of the standard tank.
“1942 Civilianized WWII Ford Jeep
Running, driving and stopping but is not road worthy without lots of TLC. GPW running gear. Not sure about the tub, has been diamond plated all around and has, I believe, a CJ2A windshield frame. Nice low back seats (possibly from a Mustang). Has a full soft top with doors, and a roll bar. No back seat. BF Goodrich tires with lots of tread and very light weather checking on chrome spoke wheels. Three speed manual transmission. Go devil four cylinder engine which runs good but won’t idle. Jeep needs a gas tank, but is currently running with a Yamaha motorcycle tank mounted on the front bumper (THIS IS TEMPORARY). Has new air cleaner, electronic fuel pump, and pressure regulator. Needs a battery. This could be a nice Jeep as is, but also could be restored back to military as it is still on GPW running gear (Ford) (the front and back of the frame was modified at some point). There is a wench mounted on the front which looks to be PTO driven and electric (not sure as I haven’t hooked it up electrically to see if it would run, but looks like it has a PTO input). As you can see by the pictures, this is a pretty clean and very cool Jeep. It wouldn’t take a lot to put it on the road. $2400 OBO”
