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 .

“Rare 1944 Ford GPW WWII Willy’s jeep up for sale! This amazing military vehicle can either be restored or used for parts. As it sits, it is mid-restoration and a lot is taken a part so there are a good amount of parts that will be included with this Ford (see photos). These original (not replica/remakes) GPW’s are hard to come by!
ALSO COMES WITH ORIGINAL DATA PLATES!
(Please note that the front wheels are sitting on there for picture, they are not actually crooked).
This would be a fun project for you to do. This does have some rust (see photos) but the frame is solid. There are a lot of original parts that will come with this bundle (see photos) but the motor, steering wheel, and the front axle are not original. *Please note that we are not experts in collector military vehicles, so there may be other parts that are not original.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(01/19/2019) Seems like there is value here.

“Real deal WWII army jeep, looks like it was used as a highway dept vehicle after it went surplus. Ford GPW body on a Willy’s MB frame. Basically straight tub but needs a gas tank well. Missing the right front fender. No running gear. Frame is good except for a crack that will need further welding but holds for now – see pic. These are easy rigs to restore and a blast to drive when you’re done, and they take up no space to store. Or, start with this and build whatever 4×4 you want! Clear title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
Lots of mods and parts.
“1944 willys (green) c4 auto,set up for 289 or 302 no motor installed. Dana 18 transfer case, stock axles, good tub. Custom under seat fuel tank. Diamond plate rockers, corners, and tailgate cover
1944 Ford Gpw. (Red)Tub sitting on what I believe to be a cj5 frame. Dana 30 front and 44 rear gears unknown. Great tub. Complete new floor.
Also have good 289 core and nice 302 that has never been fired.
Extra windshield frame, and hood.
2 sets of plastic bucket seats
2 soft tops, 1 hard top
1 back seat
Lots of spare parts and misc. pieces
Have titles for both”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
It needs a lot of work for the price.
“A very good candidate for restoration, has the original Ford stamped head. This is a WW2 military or US Army USMC US Navy Jeep GPW. I will return a call if you leave your phone number.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5900.
(12/31/2018) Has some mods.

“1942 ford gpw. Clean idaho title in my name. Yes its registered as a 42 Gpw! Not a jeep willys. New brakes and tires. Buick 225 v6. Runs and drives well. All lights and gauges work. Has a cj gas tank and fill neck. Otherwise stock”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800.
“This GPW Runs and drives but the up-keep was done by folks that fixed things with whatever was available. No doubt they were innovators but not mechanics. The motor needs a rebuild; the floor, although will work for some, needs some new sheet metal. The mechanicals need gone through. It is mostly original 1945 vintage parts.”
