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 .
It’s a project.

“2 Ford GPW, too many projects. GPW engine, capstan winch that works off the front of the engine, F marked seats, no rear seat, 5 combat rims the two front are new from Joes moter pool, they are DOT approved, new tires and tubes, new windshield, and glass, new fuel tank, and fuel system new wheel brake cylinders, new brake master cylinder, new brake lines. 1942 title.”
This needs to be assembled, but may be in good shape. Looks like the body may be a replacement.

“A rare jeep made by Ford in great shape, but needs to be reassembled. It’s organized and ready to be delivered in a call hauler. Owner passed away before he could assemble it”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(09/19/2023) Unclear if it drives or not.

“Museum quality WWII army Jeep. Frame of restoration. Runs and drives as it should. Very original”
There could be some value here given the parts. The tub might be a replacement body rather than a GPW body.

(11/19/2023) It’s a project. Based not he other pics, I think there’s been some work already done on this. I believe these are the latest pics.

“1942 ford gpw. Comes with motor and Trans on pallet. New parts including rear ford embossed panel. Price a little flexible”
I would think that this could go quickly.

“Ford Jeep, runs, drives. Call for more information”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
“Registered as a 1946 Willy VIN# on pink slip and registration:GPW52643.
The title is registered to the motor which is a GPW block with a Willy’s mb head.
Clean title & current registration in my name
Toe board gusset serial number:9869
Data plate serial number:113589
DOD 1-20-42
All three original data plates intact, but missing Frame tag
Gpw motor
Correct axels
Original transmission
Body has bondo but overall in good shape for early production slat grille.
Runs and drives
New break lines
New master cylinder
Carburetor rebuilt with nos rebuild kit
12v system
Overall this Willy’s is a perfect candidate for someone who loves WW2 jeeps. Will make a great restoration project for someone. Body does hold some bondo but to be expected with the original body. Floor plans are solid. Frame looks good. Very little rust on the undercarriage, minus the usual gussets.
Very rare only 25,000 of them produced.
UPDATE: **Sold** Was $7500.
John shared this GPW. It will need lots of love!
“1942 Ford GPW Script Jeep with matching serial numbers on the frame, motor and data tag. Definitely a project but pretty rare with the matching numbers. Missing parts include grill,lights,rear seat, air filter, spare tire and carrier, 2 combat rims. Most parts are F marked. Those that aren’t F marked include the windshield and passenger seat. Engine needs one valve tappet freed up. More we’re stuck but we’re freed up with soaking. Engine turns free 1 1/2 turns at which time the stuck tappet stops the rotation. Have not removed head yet but the cylinders, pistons look good and move freely. Body is as shown and the frame will need work on the front rails and rear. Hood needs a patch as shown.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(09/30/2023) Looks solid with a few updates.

“Runs and drives great. You can drive this rig in parades or cruise in the evening. All original look with axe/shovel. Rare M1 windshield gun rack. The tires are original type, matching spare and tow bar on front. Very solid jeep…needs nothing! During World War II, Jeep could not keep up with the demand needed during the campaign, so Ford contracted with the government to make 300,000 Ford GPW Jeeps using Jeep parts and design. Own a Piece of History!”
