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 .
Looks good. Aren’t those early rims?
“44 GPW. Not original but correct engine, rebuilt with hardened valve seats to run unleaded gas. Lots of new parts, wiring harness, gas tank, starter, clutch, brakes, etc. Frame powder coated, correct paint. Runs and stops great. Transmission has issues, leaks, and sometimes has trouble shifting from 1st to 2nd, like neutral gate off center???? Lots of extra parts.”

(03/25/2017) Jim spotted this one. It last ran in 1991. I don’t see a Ford script, so this is likely a later model.
“Rare 1941 Ford Army Jeep. Great restoration project. Has the orginal tires. Ran in 1991, been stored inside a warehouse.”
Looks like a Porter & Reed hardtop, but I’ve not seen one with a solid back like that.
“1942 Willys Jeep.
All original (except we believe the top was added at a later date.)
Needs restoration.
Needs to go…asking$3,000
I HAVE TITLE”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,500.
Looks solid.
“1942 GPW, the Ford license-produced Willys MB of WWII. As you can see, this GPW is well-restored but the work is about 13 years old. It has been well-stored and used monthly for re-enactments and living history events. The restoration was frame-off. Engine idles smoothly and maintains 30 lbs oil pressure. The jeep drives very nice. Frame and original data plate match title, but the engine is a later war GPW serial number. There is some minor corrosion around various parts/pieces which is visible in photographs. Mileage is an estimate. There are a number of extra items that come with the jeep, parts and accessories, and we will show those to prospective buyers when meeting.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $16,995.
(03/17/2017) Looks nice, but has a few incorrect items.
“I am selling a 1944 military Jeep, this is one of the more rare GPW models manufactured by Ford during the war, it shares the same design with the Willys built MB units with a few minor differences. This jeep has the “Script F” stamped on many of the parts denoting them as manufactured by Ford. It has had a complete “Frame-off” restoration taking over 16 years, including a completely rebuilt ford manufactured GO DEVIL 4 cylinder engine, T84 transmission, and Dana 18 transfer case. The brakes are new and freshly adjusted, and it has new reproduction firestone military tires. It has all new canvas seats and top and comes with multiple manuals and literature. ”

This popped up on Craigslist last night and sold very quickly.
“1946 or 1947 willys jeep, no title, rust, probably best for parts. Can deliver within reason. Asking $400.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/16/2014) The dash on this is customized flattie is unusual.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Other photos show more parts. Has some GPW, CJ, and MB parts.
“Howdy folks, Here is my Ford GPW project, parts and more. Lots of military jeep stuff. I have a GPW chassis with a Willys engine. A GPW body, cj2 tub and fenders. I have an original Ford GPW engine and trans/transfer case. An extra trans/ transfer case. Extra radiator, drivelines and more. There is a Spicer PTO that fits either t case. Has a nice clean carb for the willys engine and more parts in a box. I have too many projects now and want something that needs less work like cash. This has a clean title in my name. War jeeps are getting harder to find these days and the Ford GPW is even more rare then the jeep. They go for an insane amount of cash when restored. Looking at ebay I found I can part it out for over 3000$ which is my plan if nobody wants it. I would be happy to trade this for something that runs. I like off road toys, like maybe a sand rail, or a big dual sport bike, dirt bike, Stand up jet ski, 701 or bigger. OR?? Let me know what you have. Worst I can say is no. Thanks for looking.”
