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 .

“This Jeep has been carefully rebuilt from the ground up over 3 years by my father, a retired certified ASEA mechanic. Starting from a sandblasted frame, new-off-shelf (N.O.S) parts were used whenever possible. Every piece has been carefully rebuilt and reassembled – you won’t find a cleaner, or more authentic rebuild of a 1947 Willy’s. Lots of fun to take off-road, or cruise around town with the windshield down. See below for details on each component. “

“I’ve had this military jeep since high school and converted it. Work included changing engine to a Ford 289 V8 and electrical system to 12V. Engine needs some work (carburetor, brakes) and tires.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“I am selling a 1942 Ford GPW Military Jeep. I purchased this Jeep to restore but have
hurt my back and now need to sell it. GPW’s are getting harder to find now.
This particular one is still in running condition and the engine appears to be complete.
All the gauges and VIN tags are there. The body is rough but I believe its repairable.
A GPW of course comes with a solid tailgate but this Jeep has no tailgate.
I apologize for the lack of pictures. We just had 8 inches of snow and I’ve been in
bed for a week with a bad back. I will add pictures in a few days if I see some
interest in this Jeep. Feel free to email with questions. I’ve applied for a title
in my name but it hasn’t come yet. I bought this Jeep with a good Title so eventually
the Title will be available.”
