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: **SOLD** Was $2500.
There appears to be value here.
“For sale is a 1942 Ford GPW military jeep. This one is a restoration project or a very complete parts jeep. The price is a give-away if you’ve kept up with the values of genuine WWII jeeps lately. What you see is what you get. I also have a 1951 M-38 military jeep that has some restoration started. Many other jeeps and parts.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $12,500.
Looks like an interesting build.
“Built by papola off-road 350ci 400hp 4 speed, welder, air compressor, power steering, tilt, chrome everywhere, 35’s call for more info way to much to list $12,500 obo or trade”
Looks like it has good potential.

It’s a project.
“Contracted by Willys Overland during WWII, this Ford built relic is dripping with patina and ready for your next project. It has had an F head motor swapped in in place of the original L head.
This Jeep has been sitting for a long time and it will take some work to get it running again, but everything appears to be there. Bill of sale only, but registering it is as simple as a DMV VIN inspection and a brake and lamp inspection at a certified mechanic. Check out the pictures and schedule a time to come take a look at your next Jeep project.”

(05/25/2016) Both are projects.Neither have the correct hubs in back.
“I have two 1942 ford gpw military jeeps.
The green one is a hard to find ford script tub. It has a T90 transmission and a transfer case installed in it and has an L134 engine in the back of it that needs to be installed. It is set up with power brakes and power steering. Its a good solid tub and good project. $3,500
The yellow one has a T90 transmission and an L134 engine installed. None of this jeep has been tested and is being sold as a project as well. $3,500”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4995.
“For sale 1942 Ford GPW jeep this jeep is started being restored about 15 years ago. About 95% of the parts needed to restore this jeep are included. Not many of these world war two jeeps left to sell these days and this is a very good project for the price. Well I appriciate all the phones and emails for the jeep. Some updates, bad news some corrison caused by the battery leaking on the front floor pan. The mice have made a mess so I need to power wash it out. Good news, it has many new parts including, T-84 tranny, new wiring harness, side handles bumper gussetts, gages, bumper, tub handles, bumperettes, tire mount. Ford marked parts are seats front, hood, fenders, after I wash it I will be able to tell more first come first serve.”
I’ve never seen the bottom tool indent taken all the way back to the wheel well.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2850.
It’s a project.
“This jeep needs full restoreation, it has motor,trans in it.It is a quarter/ton utility jeep I have a clear tn. title.’
UPDATE: Was a sealed auction. Now priced at $18,000.
“This GPW has been garage kept and is about as rust free as you’ll find. Accompanying the Jeep is an article showing where a similar jeep was presented to Admiral Nimitz by the military at Pearl Harbor so the Jeep in the article matches this one right down the year, make, model and military number on hood. There is no way to verify this so one has to assume it is a clone to commemorate this event. Starts and runs like it should. Has a few cosmetic flaws as you can see in the pics but is mechanically sound. If you would like to make offer but will be unable to attend you may send offer via email. This vehicle does not have a Georgia title so ownership will transfer via bill of sale.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
It’s a GPW that hasn’t been started in a while.
“IMPORTANT UPDATE: Upon further inspection, research and some expert advice (thank you!), I believe this is a 1943-ish Ford GPW. I have included more pictures. Some just for your additional information and some show the details that positively identify it as a Ford GPW as opposed to a Willys MB. For example, the frame under the radiator is an inverted U as opposed to a tube on the Willys.
The one picture is the engine serial number which is 3059695. From what I have read, that’s not the original Kaiser motor.
