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 .

HOG spotted this unusual ‘Willys Jeep’ song, which is a rewrite of Queen’s Bicycle Race song, over at Kaiser Willys Blog.
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
“You are bidding on a 1943 Ford GPW Willys Jeep, which has had an amateur restoration done in 2002. It is from a local San Jose, CA estate we are selling. It starts right up and drives OK. The vehicle has the original data tags on the glove box showing the vehicle serial number: GPW118251. The frame serial number is GPW118251. The Body serial number, which is supposed to be stamped on the tub/body driver side cowl is not present. The Engine serial number, supposed to be stamped on the block to the right of the Oil filler tube is not present.
ENGINE & RUNNING GEAR: 4 cylinder 134 cid 60 HP L-Head engine apparently of a later date, serial number unknown. The only numbers I could find on the engine were located on the lower right side just above the oil pan: 10-4 . . . 64 1087-L-W7 AN1-CR-N2. The engine has an alternator upgrade kit. The engine has a small water leak, I suspect from the water pump. The transmission seems OK, but the clutch will need replacing before too long. The transfer case looks OK, the 4WD works OK.
BRAKES: The brakes appear to need replacing, along with repair to the emergency brake.
ELECTRICAL: The vehicle has been converted to a 12 Volt system. It looks like the wiring harness was replaced when restored in 2002. I could not get the headlights, brake light, dashboard lights or horn to work, but all other electrical functions seem OK.
FRAME: Original with VIN # GPW118251. The front left tongue has rewelded from a wreck, with some rust, otherwise it looks OK.
BODY: I couldn’t find the VIN where it is suppose to be located. The body shows rewelding work and heavy bondo work, with some cracks showing through the paint. But it looks pretty good.
EXTERIOR: Canvas top has wear to the left rear seam and some fading, but looks OK. It was repainted Army Olive Green with white lettering in 2002 and is in good condition. It has the tools on the side, gas can on the rear and a tow bar on the front.
INTERIOR: The driver’s seat has a tear, otherwise the passenger seat and rear bench are OK. All the dashboard gauges work. Manual windshield wipers. Tool kit under passenger seat. With gun rack. After market seat belt for passenger only.
SUMMARY: The 2002 restoration is showing some wear, but the jeep starts right up and drives OK. I couldn’t find any “F” Ford markings on parts, or bolts. A nice driver.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
This looks like a nice rig.

This runs and drives. The floor boards need a little work. This might restore well.
“You are looking at a very rare Willys, 4×2 Willys , DJ3A. It runs great and doesn’t smoke or knock. The paint is almost gone on it. It has four lug wheels with a straight axle in the front, all original. The brakes has a full peddle but need bleeding. The body is in reall good shape, with only two small places in the front floor. You can see this in the pictures. This would be an easy surface to repair. Driver’s seat needs to be rocovered. This vehicle is a 3 speed on the column and shifts good. I do have the front parking light lens and ring. Needs some exhaust work. It has a new windshield frame but does need a new glass and seal. Tires are in good shape. Over all with just a little TLC this Willys will be easy to restore.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
