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 .
No pics provided. This past weekend (nov 6/7) thisi jeep was part of an estate sale. This might be still available.
“… 1605 NE 63rd St. 98115… 1942 Ford Willys Army Jeep”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1395
(07/19/20100 Well, it’s a running, driveable GPW with the original engine and tranny.
“This 1943 Jeep is actually made by Ford, not Willy’s. It has the original engine and transmission, and both have been rebuilt; it has a dual, locking transfer case, with low-range for some serious climbing ability; it has fairly new 35” tires; it has a serious “roll cage” for great protection; it has a drop-down tow bar for easy towing; it has an “Ooga” horn; and it was recently painted the eye-catching black and yellow pattern shown below. It’s street legal and off-road ready. Call and buy it if you want to have some major fun.”
SOLD
“This is a rare barn find! It’s not often you find one of these untouched military jeeps. You are bidding on a 1944 GPW with matching engine and frame numbers. No data tags. Jeep comes with bill of sale only. Although the body is rough, this is a great restoration project. Many original parts are still on the jeep such as spare tire carrier and support bracket. You can still see the original seat cushions (horse hair)along with seat covers on the back seat and driver seat. The jeep sits on four original combat wheels which I believe are still mounted to the original tires. Original hood numbers are visible under the flaking blue paint (will try to uncover the complete number in the morning) All three original Ford seats are still on the jeep. Original script bolts hold the body handles in place. I am putting this jeep up for sale in as found condition; Engine, tranny along with all mechanical components have not been tested but appear to be damage free. Since the jeep is sold as is, I recommend that all interested parties ask all questions and do all their research before placing a bid. For our mutual protection I will except offers through ebay for our mutual protection but please do not wait until the end of the auction to make offers. I will consider any rare jeep parts such as slat grill parts, GP parts etc. as patial trade toward the jeep as I have many other projects. A $1000 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the end of the auction.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $35,000.

“GPW project. Most is there, a later jeep tub was grafted on. Additional GPW tub will be included. The lift was done by a simplle spring over axle. not an original engine but we can look over one that is at the yard for an additional cost.

Updated pictures will be changed out if needed. email any questions or to come see it. Ed”

“Im working on an Estate Sale and have this 1942 GPW Ford Military Jeep that has a flat head 6 Studebacker eng. I have the title but no keys, I don’t know if the jeep runs, the jeep has been sitting for the last 5+ years and is going to be sold as-is for the best offer”
UPDATE: Unclear if this sold or not. Was listed at $2000
(10/26/2010) Scott spotted this Ad. It might be a real solid find for an East Coast GPW. Note that his has a M-38 Grille.
“Flat Head Four original engine. Runs but needs work. Would make a fun off road vehicle or a nice restoration project. $2000.00 FIRM.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8400
Unclear if the numbers match, but this sure looks like a good price on a nice GPW. It’s not a perfect restoration.
“1942 FORD JEEP MILITARY JEEP NEW IN SIDE AND OUT NU MOTOR DRIVE IT HOME”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
“Old flat fender military Jeep for restoration. This is the Ford GPW version with original tags and clear title.”
This looks solid and has some body dings for character.
“Regretfully, I am selling my 1942 Ford GPW Jeep. This authentic WWII beauty is registered and regularly taken out for a jaunt around the neighborhood. The floor boards are solid and the brass plates are all intact. Keep it as is for a head turning, open air cruiser or turn it into a priceless father son restoration project. I am asking $6000. Send me a message for more details or to see it in person.”
