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 $4000.
(06/14/2010) This looks like a nicely done upgrade. That’s a lot of power for that undersized frame.
“I have a 1945 Ford GPW, V8 conversion, Chevy 350 bored .030 over, 4-speed trans, lockers front and rear, all new wiring. ”
John forwarded this restorable appearing GPW.
“1942 Ford WWll Military Jeep. Great restoration project!”
This looks pretty good for the price …

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
It runs and drives. It is a combo jeep, but the price is good.
“Military Jeep for sale. Yes it runs! Working motor, running gear, transmission. I hate getting rid of it but we’re moving out-of-state and have to figure out how to move 3 vehicles already!
Has: 1942 Ford GPW frame, hood, windshield, grill, and other misc parts (all still have their F stamp visible); 1945 Military engine (running) with new fuel pump; 1946 Willy’s tub and transmission. The transmission is good but the tub is not in great shape.
Needs: seats; fuel tank (we just put the fuel line into a gas tank when we run it); drive shaft (it fell out when we flat towed it to our new place); tires (2 are flat though they’ll hold air long enough to tow it home or put it up on a trailer); We sanded all the old pealing yellow paint off of it and it is primer gray but we never got further than that.
This would make a great parts vehicle (we’ve been told the steering wheel alone is worth $300!) Or for those that are looking to buy a new fabricated tub and throw it on there and have a look-a-like military jeep to play around in (our plan). Or a great starter for a crazy Rock Crawler.
The parts mentioned above are the main F stamped parts so if you’re looking to restore it to a stock gpw it would need a lot. But like I said it’s great as a part donor or casual military jeep lover.
Please note we do not have a title for it, it will be bill of sale only. According to the dmv you just need to get a VIN verification done on it (simple as bringing it down to the CHP office) and DMV will then issue title and registration. Asking $1200″”
This is a no reserve auction on a nice looking, though modified, GPW.
“For sale is a 1943 Ford GPW jeep.It has been modified and sports a V6 (Dauntless odd-fire) engine, Saginaw steering and a rear mounted fuel tank. Full top from Best Top. Good brakes, new master cylinder. The jeep is drivable but needs a carb workover as it runs somewhat rough. Frame is rust free and the frame number matches the data plates. Body appears solid.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700
(05/17/2010) No doubt this is actually a ’45 or earlier.
“I am selling one of my favorite weekend toys! This is listed as a 1946 Ford GPW on the title. Here are some features: Brand new battery, Brand new marine, box speakers, Tires are in great shape, New Fuel Pump, New Fuel Hose, New Air Filter, New Spark Plugs, New Rotor, New Condensor, New Points, New Coil, Oil changed recently and frequently.
Headlights, fog lights, taillights and brakelights all work. Fold flat windshield. Locking front hubs, for the four wheel drive. Two welded in ammo boxes for storage. Electric winch on the front. Great working heater. Tow bar on front bumper. Two metal, removable gas cans on the back. At sometime during its life, the original engine was swapped for a more powerful, classic Ford inline 6 cylinder. It is drivable and has been used by us recently, but could use; Accelerator Pump For The Carb. Alternator . (It runs the best with the choke set at 1/4 on)”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
I had this marked sold back in June of 2010. I’m guessing the sale fell through and it is now available again?
“1943 Ford Willys Military Issue, runs and drives, needs tlc,”
The bottom of the windshield is unusual; note the gap under it. I’m not sure how that is staying in place.
“This is a 1943 GPW Ford army Jeep circa WWII. When this Jeep was puchased, it was badly rusted and in severe need of a restoration. I want to stress that this is NOT a true to 1943 restoration, but its close.
The body was lifted off the frame. The frame was sandblasted and painted with enamel paint. Everything was inspected and replaced if needed. New brake lines and shocks have been installed. New brake pads, wheel cylinders, etc. The wheels were basted and new tires from Coker Tire were installed. The body was also sandblasted and any rust found was cut out and new panels weled in. The floor is new, front to back and sealed with bedliner. This was not a restoration to make this Jeep look new. We wanted a look of an active duy Jeep, so any small dings were left and minimal body work was done. The body was sprayed with the correct Green enamel. New glass was installed in the widshield. The seat were recovered in Army green canvas. New guages were installed, new steering wheel, and new wiring with late model type fuses. It has been converted to 12V. We DO NOT have the shovel and ax.
This Jeep was finished about 1 1/2 years ago, and has had roughly 450 miles put on it. The engine runs great with its new Solex carb. Trans and transfer case work great. This would be great for re-enactments or parades. if you have questions, please call me at 641-682-8469. Good Luck.”
This looks like a great price. It includes an overdrive and f-script parts.
“This is aproximately a 1942 Ford GPW military jeep. It is functionally identical to a Willys MB, with a few cosmetic differences. It does run, but currently needs brake and drivetrain work. The brakes are soft and the transfer case and rear differential leak. It currently has a 2 barrel 289 Ford V8, which is obviously not original. It also has a later model (50’s) Jeep CJ T90 three speed trans and Dana 18 t-case. Its has a power brake setup added from a Mustang. The frame and tub are in decent condition, the frame doesn’t appear to have rust issues. It has its original front and rear axles with, I think, 4:27 gears. It still has a lot of f-script parts. It also has a 50’s vintage Warn Saturn overdrive and lock out hubs, the overdrive, hubs, and f-script parts alone are worth more than the asking price, I just don’t have the space to part it out. Has 16 inch non-combat rims. I do have a title, it is titled as an assembled vehicle and has an Indiana VIN. Thanks.”

UPDATE; **SOLD** Was Make Offer
This has been sitting a while.
“1946 willys jeeep with a early 50’s snorkel motor.Motor turns over by hand with the plugs removed. Its been sitting since 1977. I got it for a project but don’t have the time or the money to fix it up. Pink slip says its a ford model. Needs tlc but probably wouldn’t take much to get it running.”
