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 .

“Here is an excellent example of a restored 1948 CJ- 2A Jeep 4 x 4 built by Willy’s/Overland. Vehicle was found in a barn in the early 2000’s and completed in 2006. Body and paint work were performed by Rick Renshaw in Easton MD. Color is a urethane Vermont green by Ford. Everything on the Jeep is either rebuilt or new from the gas tank, fuel lines, brakes and hardware to the rebuilt differentials and leaf springs.
The Jeep has always been garage kept since restoration was completed and there appears to be no rust or rot anywhere. Paint is in excellent condition.
The ‘L-head’ 134 cu. in. /60 h.p. 4-cylinder engine is original as well as the T90 3-speed transmission and were totally rebuilt. The drive line has less than 1000 miles since completion.
Interior cushions were done in leather for comfort and the top, rear, and side curtains are new in the original canvas material with stenciling. The Willy’s Jeep was totally rewired and remains a 6-volt system (new battery). The gauges all work except for the fuel. Owner believes it is the sending unit.
Tires are the the original style 6.00 x 16”.
Selling for personal reasons.”
Looks in good shape. Seller describes the engine as a Chevy, but it looks like a Buick to me.

“1941 Ford GP # 9223. The 1941 Ford GP, as well as the Bantam BRC and Willy’s MA were pre-WW2 limited production models, often labeled as “prototypes” which developed into the common WW2 GPW and MB. The production of the Ford GP, which is very unique to itself, was approximately 4500 units with most going overseas. It is estimated that only a few hundred of the GP’s exist today, most of which are in the hands of collectors. Of the total, it is estimated that less than 100 are restored, with the vast majority of the balance being as non-restorable and in dire condition.
