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: Still Available.

“For sale is a WWII US Army Jeep. It is a 1942 Ford GPW. Ford and Willys made the jeep for WWII this is a Ford. This jeep was made on 07-08-1942 and retains it’s original data plates. Jeep runs, drive, and stops. I recently rebuilt all the bakes. Axles and transmission (3spd) are still the original Ford parts, the motor has been replaced with a civilian Willys motor at some point in its life. The body is in decent shape. Grill and hood are not dented. The front bumper has been replaced, but original frame horns have not been messed up.
The body has some damage, but still worth a look.

Supposedly, this was used in the M*A*S*H* TV series. I guess it’s possible. Interesting that the driver side indents are missing. Looks like it has a GPW crossmember.

“This is a rare and one of a kind Jeep Willy MB / Ford GPW used in the famous TV show M*A*S*H* also a historic machine that would make anyone a proud and happy owner. Please call or email to set up a time to view in person. Thank you :)”
Includes a trailer. Pics aren’t very big. This is GPW #7474. It has a Willys frame. Sounds like the seller has had to explain this too many times.

“WW2 1942 rare jeep this is NOT the common ww2 jeep this is a ford script with a Willits frame THAT WAS BUILT THAT WAY! from the factory serial number is 7474 it has crank to start,bocycle pump under rear seat,brass fire extinguisher,repro 50 caliber that is amazing not one of those cheap plastic wood aluminum trash looking machine guns too much to list. Usmc ww2 trailer will be thrown in if you want it TEXT show contact info
I have received emails that ford did not use Williys frames from uneducated people! Please note it is well documented and also on page 192 of the all American wonder volume 2 book it states that there is no doubt this happened and that my jeep is AMONG THE RAREST of jeep variants! Jeeps with a serial number below 8000 (mine is 7474 ) were built using willys frames in order to get production rolling for the war effort also windshield hinges and data plates are solid brass the Willy frame was however stamped like the Ford’s with a star 7474 then a star, so please you people who think you know educate yourselves thank you.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.
It’s got a few non standard parts.
