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 Best Offer
This has a variety of updates.
“1942 FORD FLAT FENDER 350 V8 44 REAR 44 FRONT 4 SPEED POWER STEERING HARD TOP. BUILT ROCK CRAWLER BEEN SITTING (((( BEST OFFER OR TRADE ))))”
The seller has a variety of war and war props for sale. He notes MB and GPW parts are for sale as well. The vehicle below appears to be a GPW. I talked with my friend Van recently and Van mentioned that he assembled some prop jeeps for use as film props and sometimes used a variety of vehicle parts. So, you might want to check this jeep out closely (it might or might not have been assembled by Van).
“For Sale: I am thinning my large collection of WWII and Korean War era collectables.
I have been collecting World War 2 period uniforms, gear and equipment for the past 35 years. I have focused my colleting primarily on the items used by the good guys (the Allies, Army, Air force, Marines, Navy), but I do have a good smattering of German and Japanese items as well.
I have flight helmets (WW2 and postwar), flight jackets, goggles, oxygen masks, foot wear, shirts trousers, khakis, Officers and enlisted class A’s, helmets, radios, coats, MB GPW jeep parts, ammo pouches, raincoats, field gear, crates, ammo boxes, bayonets, holsters, Leather Garand Scabbards, pistol belts, garand / carbine parts and accessories and lots, lots more.
I also manufacture and can supply military canvas items for vehicle restorations and period field gear.
I produced the majority of field gear used in the productions of “Band of Brothers”, “Windtalkers” and I was the Senior Military Technical Advisor for the great, locally produced film “Saints and Soldiers”. In fact, most of the collectables I will be selling were used as wardrobe and props in that production.
I am reasonable on prices, the more you buy, the better deal I will make you.
Please call or e-mail and let me know what you like and what your looking for. I will let you know if I have it.
801-494-9852 Cell- please note, my number was incorrectly listed previosly. This is my correct number.
Peace, Ray”

“Not too much rust. Windshield and engine not cracked”
Hotchkiss’ don’t pop up for sale here in the U.S. too often. You can learn more about them on Andy’s M201 website.
“Although I’ve owned many jeeps this was my first and only Hotchkiss so I am not an expert. A few other projects force me to sell this baby. What is unbelievable bout this jeep is its condition for an unrestored jeep. It is very solid. As for the drive train it is all in excellent condition. The jeep is now riding on four combat wheels and a spare combat wheel (I think combat wheels look better than original hotchkiss wheels). The engine bay is very complete and correct. This is one of those jeeps you can enjoy for many years. During its life it has been registered and titled as an MB but from my research it is a hotchkiss which you don’t see too many of. According to the tag on the motor is say that DATE DE RECEPTION IS 2/10/63, I don’t know if that is considered to be delivery date or not but I am determining the jeep to be a 63 based on that information, if I’m incorrect feel free to email me. This jeep looks even better in person so come see it if you can. For the buy it now price I have a tandem tow bar as well as a T1 compressor that I will include. I would recommend keeping it in this condition and never restore it. I would drive this jeep anywhere in the US from California to New York, that is how good this baby runs. I am not a mechanic so, in an effort to keep everybody happy I recommend that all interested parties come see and inspect the jeep before bidding. I will consider MA, GPA or Bantam parts and manuals as partial trade towards the jeep. Good luck and happy bidding. For last minute questions feel free to contact me at colshlby65@aol.com or 702-768-9972.”
The GPW body does not appear to be original.

“I have a Ford GPW project jeep for sale, I am trying to decide whether or not I want to keep it for a future project or just sell it now. This is not a fire sale, but if someone wants the stuff they can buy it, but I am not giving it away.
I have the entire jeep, 1942 # GPW 46940, it is in fairly bad shape, but could be restored. No hood, and the grill has been cut on and will need replaced, the dash has been cut, and someone cut a tailgate in it. Red in color now. No side handles. Windshield frame is good, inner windshield frame needs repaired or replaced. Has good WWII Trico vacuum wiper motors that are still attached. No seat frames. No combat rims, no top bow brackets, etc. Front frame horns need replaced as a custom bumper has been welded on, rear bumper is also custom.
Floor pans in front are not too bad, rear has holes, half of the hat channels are surprisingly good. Rear storage boxes have small holes in them.
NO TITLE or Data Plates.
I also have a WWII Ford GPW Jeep Engine for sale. It is GPW 114579, It does not have a GPW cylinder head, but instead comes with an early Willys unit with no “Jeep” or “Willys” cast into it. The piston, rods, and crank are still in it. Had been bored .030 over and .010 under on the crank, and will need to be bored again or probably sleeved due to rust on the cylinder walls. No obvious cracks anywhere, the area under the distributor looks good.
The engine is just a short-block, no intake, exhaust, or any accessories, just the block, crank, rods and pistons, timing chain and cover, and camshaft.
I also have a GPW marked T-84 trans that will need rebuilt, and a GPW marked transfer case with correct parking brake mechanism for sale as well. I will take $500 for the pair of them.
I will take $700 for the jeep.
$500 for the engine
$500 trans and transfer case
If you want the whole thing, engine, transmission, transfer case, and the jeep, I will sell it all for $1200.”
