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 .
Doesn’t run.

“Available to adventure seeker this 1944 Ford jeep. For the casual user, it wouldn’t take much to get this puppy going. For the restorer a good foundation. With what’s there, all appears to be original. Data plate shows DOD of 5-4-44. Ford body, frame are proper. Transmission appears to be a T90. Vehicle is located approx.. 17 miles off HWY 101 near Laytonville CA.”
It appears this is a WWII chassis and front clip (fenders/grille/hood) with a CJ-2A or CJ-3A body. In addition, the steps on the body have been modified and the drain holes on the sides have been filled. The rear of the body appears to be filled in. The windshield is aftermarket or from an M-38. The front and rear bumpers have been modified. Contact lindsey for more info: 831.227.8497

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,500.
This initially appeared as a 1941 GP, as that is what was on the title. After a bit of sleuthing, we figured out that this is a 1943 GPW frame with a 1942 GPW body on it.
“For sale 1943 GPW Military Jeep, with a 1942 Ford Script tub. Starts every time and is easy and fun to drive. Very clean World War II jeep shows great in parades and would be perfect for those re-enactors.
There are some additions to the jeep that are not original, updated to 12 volt system, locking hubs and diamond plate on back fenders added by prior owner. Also included are tool pouch, paperback manual, two unopened boxes with contract number that are Shim Cap Sets, and a US military backpack with canteen. Will not ship and I do not need help selling.”
Boone’s got this nice looking GPW for sale.

“1943 Ford GPW. SN 102820 3-16-1943
This jeep originally came from a farm in southern Missouri. The previous owner had it for many years, and he used it as a farm jeep. It was in rough shape, and it was missing a lot of parts. I bought it from him and slowly began to make some progress, it was a continuous project for about 8 years. I ended up having to replace the tub with a late ’42 tub. The front floor, fuel tank sump, and hat channels were all replaced.
I ended up taking the very long and costly road for a restoration; starting with a basic shell of a project and tracking down all the pieces to complete it. The vast majority of the parts are original GPW NOS or take-off parts, but there are some reproductions in the mix. The vast majority of mounting hardware are also original script bolts/nuts/washers.
Everything on this jeep functions, it was a frame off restoration. It is 6 volts and all lighting works as it should, the transmission/transfer case shift like they should, and the engine runs very smoothly. Brakes are adjusted, and they do not grab or pull. Continue reading
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Hopefully someone can put these to good use.
“For Sale: Two World War II open jeeps. The two jeeps, both are chassis, “franken” Ford GPW jeeps. Darker colored GPW with body has no motor or transmission with a nice Ford tub and Ford Frame with good data plates rolling on OEM 15 x 4.5″ rims and excellent rubber, and the other GPW is a chassis, on Ford GPW frame, no tub, with a CJ L134 motor, D-18 transfer case and T-90 gearbox. There is no serial number visible on this frame. It has been covered with a repaired motor mount. It is rolling on ND military 16″ tires on standard steel stamped rims. I am selling both jeeps for $3500.00 in cash, no checks. Trades will be considered with cash. Both the jeeps are all rolling chassis and will easily roll up on a trailer.
Both jeeps are located on our ranch in Salado, Texas, about 1:15 minutes NNE of Austin, TX, and about an hour SSW of Waco Texas, about 9 miles due East of I-35, midway between the village of Salado and Holland, TX.
I can and will assist with your shipper, but again, you must have paid for the jeeps in full before they leave our property.”
