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 .
No pics. Doesn’ trun.

“For Sale: 1942-1944 Ford Open Jeep. Clear Texas Blue Title. This is a Jeep that was probably assembled out of many different Jeeps at some point. The frame is MB, M2 mount is in the frame, tub floor shows it, front square cross-member confirms it is a Ford.
The Jeep has a Ford GPW body, shown by the embossings in the tool compartment lids. The windshield frame and front grill are CJ2A/3A stamped “Willys.” The right front fender is Ford GPW.
The L134 Flat head Willys “Go Devil” motor is correct vintage for the jeep, 1944-1951. Continue reading
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
Listed as an MB, it looks more like a GPW.
“For sale is my 43 mb. It has lots of possibilities. Civilian post war engine. 3 speed. Only first and reverse function. It has big bucks into the wheels and tires. Runs great. Lots of ford marked parts on it. Looking for 6000 firm. Clear Idaho title.”
It doesn’t run at the moment.
“Need to sell my Vintage WW2 “Jeep”. 1944 Ford GPW (twin to the Willy’s MB). New windshield hood blocks (OEM) and weather stripping still in package and never installed. Wife says I have too many projects going and need to downsize. I did have it running but the motor needs TLC. Great project vehicle for restoration or just building a runabout for playing in the desert and on the Mesa. Willing to trade for a 2up ATV and small trailer. Price is negotiable as I need to move this and my 2003 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE (see craigslist posting June 8th).”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $15,000.
(05/07/2017) Needs some exhaust work.
“I am selling a near complete restored 1944 Ford GPW Army Jeep from WW2. The vehicle has a recently rebuilt Go-Devil Engine, carburetor, and radiator. A truly accurate restoration with the only modification being the 12 volt battery conversion. The comes with many original items such as a canvas summer top, first aid kit, axe, fuel can, and more. The vehicle still needs the some minor work on the exhaust which causes the fuel pressure to drop and cannot drive far until this final problem is resolved, however the vehicle idles perfectly and can be driven onto a trailer.”

“For the past 50+ years it has been driven roughly 30-50 miles per year. It was owned by a former board member of the Reno Air Show and was trailered from Reno to the event and only used to drive around the grounds of the show. Still has the original stickers from the air shows on the front wind shield. Recently had service done on the brakes, oil, etc.
Most likely one of the cleanest non-show car 75 year old vehicles you will see. Recently we did $1400.00 worth of maintenance. Runs great. Would like to find it a nice home.”

Not much of the original jeep left.
“I need to get rid of my steel bodied, 1944 Ford Jeep. I originally got it as a project vehicle for rock crawling. When I bought it, it was a hunting rig. It has a Ford 289 V8, adapted to the original 3 speed transmission. There’s virtually no rust. Has stout front and rear bumpers and a tow bar. It’s a perfect vehicle to build exactly how you want it for. Very flexible on price. I am also selling a 3 speed military transmission with transfer case. Make offer(s).”

UPDATE: **SOLD** A deposit has been made on it. Was listed at $6500.
Bill’s selling his unrestored GPW. He also has a trailer for sale for $1699 (see pics at bottom).
“Selling my old US Army WWII jeep. It’s a Ford made jeep, complete with lots of F marked parts. Willys was the other manufacturer of WWII jeeps and the MB is very similar. It is not restored and appears to have never been apart other than for some repairs over the years. It needs a full restoration if you want a perfect WWII jeep. As it is I had lots of fun in parades with it back around Y2K. Sure there are extra holes, rusted spots, missing parts here and there, and the gas tank is rotted as is the floor around it. There are four original WWII tires, one of which was used by a modern tire company to remake the molds for the WWII Firestone tires. I wouldn’t recommend driving it home, as you will want to install new tires and look at the brakes before you do any driving around on public roads. It could make a great display in a store, or a wonderful project.
I’m looking for the best offer on this one.. I’ll start at $7999, and won’t take $500. I really don’t want to sell it but the county is forcing my hand. Gotta love those tax appraisers. Its time for someone to give this jeep the home it deserves. I don’t have the funds to do a proper restoration, so I did my best to preserve what was there and doll it up a bit for parades. If you want to get down to the original olive drab Army paint, a lot of it is still there under the krylon spray paint. The blue stripe is an original marking.
