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 looks like a great price.
“1948 Willy’s CJ 2A Jeep. All original. Straight body, good engine, no smoke. Transmission/4wd all work great. New tires. Tow bar and a few extra parts. Please call for additional information as I do not check emails.”
This runs and drives.

This appears in good shape. At first I thought this might be a CJ-3A, however, that grille would suggest the ’47 year is correct. I’m gonna guess this has a rear PTO.
“For sale is a 1947 Willys Jeep. Runs and drives good. It has the original motor and the optional PTO. Please call 785-614-4467.”

UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $6500.
(10/02/2010) This appears solid with minimal updates and sports a rear PTO.
“This Jeep is in almost original condition. It was on a farm in Nebraska since new, until brought to Boulder County in 2002 by the second owner., from whom we bought it. It has the original engine and all parts, including a rare “power take off” (PTO) on the rear which still works well. Original paint scheme of Americar Black with Harvard Red Wheels. I added the new soft top, and had the original 6 volt system converted to 12 volt for better starting and running. It has a new 12 v system, new generator, new carburetor, new fuel pump, and new 12 v battery, new tires and used rear seat. The engine and transmission are very strong, and it will “climb a tree.”
UPDATE: Priced dropped to $8960
(08/20/2010) A serial number of 7564 would make this a pretty early GPW!
“1942 Ford Army Jeep with matching ammunition trailer, and numerous accessories: Towing rig to pull jeep with car hitch, spare parts, inert hand grenade, extra olive drab Army paint, two dummy artillary shells, Army gas can mounted on rear with spare tire, two WWII helmets, Major General’s two-star license plate, canvas top and bows (not shown in picture), WW II tire pump and canvas water bag, assorted books and manuals for jeep and trailer, and Jeep lapel pin.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This might be worth a look.
“This Ford GPW was built in 1942 for the military during WWII and it still has all of its original data plates. Was last registered in 1967 and will require a complete restoration. The body is very straight, not running or driving.”
UPDATE: Was. $3400 **SOLD**

(04/11/2011) This looks in good shape, though it does need some work.

Jeremy found these images as part of a great folder of jeep images touring Facebook. You can learn more about them at Brian’s Military Jeep site.
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.”
