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 .

Project or parts.
“I have for sale a 1942 Ford GPW (Jeep). It is all in pieces but there is a rolling chasis. This is a great project for someone looking for an early war jeep. Got from a friend of ours that found a bunch in various stages that he bought and we bought one from him. I can show you pictures of what his looks like now and his is worth close to $15,000. Any serious takes let me know. Would be possibly interested in trades of equal value let me know what you have. Always looking for firearms and other 4×4 projects.”

Buz shared this surprising news that this 1943 GPW sold for $43,125 on July 12, 2014.
Looks like a good project.
“Jeep was acquired for a restoration project and stored in an enclosed barn for the past 10 years.
I have come to the realization that I will not be able to get to restoring it. It has a lot of potential as it comes with the original motor, drivetrain, frame and body. It has areas of rust and missing the fuel tank. The jeep is loaded with “f” marked parts and has all original Glove Box identification plates.
A great project. Jeep does not have title, but will come with a bill of sale and copy of the original bill of sale.”

(03/15/2014) It’s a project. There’s a number of updates. it has a fiberglass Bobcat hood.
“45 gpw jeep. Fairly rust free. Has 11″ brakes, warn overdrive, buick v6, front locker, power steering and tilt column. Comes with roll cage and soft top as well. Clean title in my name!
Needs seats and misc wiring”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
The GPW runs.
“1943 Jeep runs but needs work

Maybe someone can use this?
“I have a 1942 ford gpw body for sale, body is rough and needs alot of work but it could be used, or could be taken apart for parts,”
http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/pts/4568787702.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6800
“New Front disc brakes kit, engine completely rebuilt by Willy’s all documented. Current reg thru Sept 2014. serious inquires only.”
UPDATE II: **SOLD** Was $2000.
UPDATE: Craig pointed out that it’s possible the MB frame on this the correct frame. Ford used the same frame supplier, Midland Steel, before they contracted with Murray Steel for the GPW frames. (http://olive-drab.com/od_mvg_www_jeeps_mbgpw.php)
“For sale is a World War II, 1942 Script Ford Jeep, GPW, restoration project. Early 1942 Ford “Script Ford”. Might trade for 1965 to 1968 Mustang Fastback or Convertible in similar condition.
Body is Ford, Chassis is Willys. Titled on the dash VIN plate as Ford, GPW. Clear Ok. title.
Flathead engine is not correct, possibly late 40`s but I do have a Willys MB Block, WW2, (was running engine) that goes with the Jeep. Distributor boss is chipped on the block that is in the Jeep now, also some welding on the side of the block. Kaiser Supersonic head. ( adds 5 horsepower to engine ),I would use parts off the block that`s in it and put the MB engine in the Jeep. see picture. Correct Ford Transmission and Transfer Case. 1 seat is “F” , the other seat is WW2 Willys.”
It’s a project.
“Here is a 42 ford gpw, this jeep has had alot of work done to it so far and more to follow, I have repaired the body to make it a decent reenactor jeep, the frame is very soild as well, it has all original running gear minus the engine which is a cj2a,I do however have a ford block that will need a complete rebuild to throw in with the jeep, I have, front seats, two f marked fenders, f marked hood, f marked grill,and a few windshields.I am selling the jeep as a project for 3500$ as I continue to work on the jeep and fix parts the price will go up. I have mostly everything for the jeep minus small parts but this is a great start.”
