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 .
There looks like a few useable items.
“willys military jeep— some parts missing, body in pretty rough shape– no engine or drive train, but have them if interested”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
It looks like this was an old school trail jeep that someone was modifying into a rock crawler.
“1942 Ford G.P.W project lifted on chevy full length 8 lug 3/4 ton running gear sittin on 35″ tsl swampers over half tread with a chevrolet 350 under the hood runs great needs drive lines built and some welding done been on Oregon creek and trail runs at least 5 times and rubicon once by previous owner will fit 44″ tires no problem has huge p.t.o”

**SOLD** Was listed for $500
“No title, not presently running. Motor turns over with starter. Ran good and 4 wheel drive worked about 8 years ago. Brakes weren’t working at that time. I sold it and it sat around since then. I got it back and tried to start it but was unsuccessful. It no longer has a rear drive line or air cleaner. If you have either of those parts you’d like to sell, let’s talk. Hope to add pictures to ad tomorrow.
I’ll bet this has seen the Naches trail a few times.

I found a website called 1943MB.com the other day and thought that it had some useful information. I didn’t realize it until now, but there’s a list of similar sites. While they look similar, they appear to have at least some different information (I didn’t investigate too closely). For example, the 1941MB.com site has a link to a slat grille rebuild.
One cool feature is the Napa Online Website Link for parts. Here’s a snapshot of it below.
The seller has added a price and clarified thisis a 1944 GPW.
“Nice and fun jeep to drive .. there is a pin hair crack near the distribtor in the block …but the jeep runs and drives it all ready for the next person .. in done lots of money invested”
“165 miles on new build.

I’m not a big fan of the bumpers, but everything else looks good on the GPW.
