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 $7000
It’s not a perfect restoration, but appears solid.
“
’42 Ford GPW military jeep. Engine rebuilt less than 100 miles ago. Has had restoration work done but not ground up. Runs and drives well. Engine strong, non directional tires.”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $6500.
I’m not sure what we have. It’s got a GPW Frame, a Willys Body, a CJ-2A windshield and gearing. This will need the clutch replaced.
“Looks great, runs fine, but needs a new clutch. Willys body, Ford frame, Good tires, breaks, etc. I bought this Jeep for $7K earlier in the year thinking it would be perfect for use on our ranch, but not realizing the Jeep is geared extremely low and realistically only gets up to about 30mph. The ranch is out behind Mount Hamilton and it would take us far too long to drive this little Jeep out there, so I kept it as a collectible “fun” vehicle. We were out joy riding (it’s a fun old ride) and the clutch gave out. Had to tow it back home, now it’s been sitting for a couple of months (we start her up once a month). Make me an offer, times are tough and we need the cash.”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $4500
(08/26/2010) From a distance, this looks like a great price.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
It runs.
“This rare old jeep has been used hunting and 4-wheeling and putting around town. It has some paint but is mostly brown primer. The body has not been altered except for moving the fuel receptacle from under the seat to the side of the vehicle , so it could easily be restored. The engine is GPA,(military amphibious), and runs good. It has the original back seat but the front seats have been replaced. It also has a canvas top and a winch (made from WWII airplane parts).”
UPDATE: This appears SOLD, but was listed at $800.
I could be wrong, but the slopes and cut of the passenger and driver’s sides look very similar to a Willys MA, thought maybe a Ford GP as well?. This has been hacked up a bit, but it’s worth a look. Check out what appears to be an emergency brake as well.
“Clear title has orignal old style pink slip non op for 20 years but probably off dmv record now… 4×4 ran when parked 10 years ago”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Based on the price, it might be worth a look, though it appears to have an updated engine.
“1942 Ford GPW jeep 4 x 4, great for hunting lease or to restore! Engine is good-chevy two. Needs new or rebuild transmission and transfer case. Needs a little TLC, but a really nice project.”

“Early Ford GPW. Ford name on back. Lots of F Mark parts on it. It has rust, floors need to be replaced, needs glass for windshield, good for parts or to restore. Motor turns over, not locked up. Has Willys engine not a Ford.”
