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 .

“42 Ford GPW Jeep Project. I bought a 42 ford GPW a few years ago with the intention of doing a frame off restoration. Life has happened and the restoration is not in the cards … least not for me! The guy I purchased the jeep from had purchased new/rebuilt F script dana 18 transfer case, new /rebuilt t-84 trans, new/rebuilt carter carb, front seats frames and cushions, new inner windshield frame and glass.”

Neither runs at the moment.
“I have a 1943 Ford GPW & a 1948 CJ2A for sale. Titles for both. Been over 5 years since either has been running. The 43 Ford was driveable when I bought it 6 years ago. It is complete with wrong engine-has 60’s model 4 cyl. Tub needs replaced-bondo.
The 48 CJ needed a transmission which I have replaced but is missing rear drive shaft. Has original flat head 4 cyl engine which was running 6 years ago. Floor needs replaced in tub.”

May have some value.
“I have for sale a 1942 Ford GPW WWII Jeep. The body is extremely rusted. It has an engine that is a later flathead willys engine that runs, no brakes. It has a cj2a steering sector. This is a list of Ford F marked parts: grill, left fender, right fender, radiator, hood hinge, t84 transmission, transfer case, headlight buckets, headlight swing arms, blackout grill lights, bell crank, GPW Glove box data tags, and tool box lids. The data plate, frame and clear title in my name have the same serial numbers. The front and rear axles are GP marked. The wheels are civilian willys. I put a gasket on the thermostat housing and it is seeping. The engine has 641087 –l-w10-a n1-cr-n2 on the block. Serial number on engine is 35234; this is all I could make out. The engine manifold has an ear broken off of it at the carb. Looks like a dj3a manifold. The head has 16h5 on it. The starter is an Autolite number mz 4163 3f and the generator is an Autolite number GDZ 6001E 3F. I am asking $2500 for it.”
Looks like a GPW based on the tool slids.
