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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000
Looks nice.
“All original. Approximately 50k miles. Minor rust but looks very clean. 6 volt system. Inline 4 cylinder runs good and able to be driven. 2wd 3 speed on the column. Asking 10000 obo. Will send pictures to serious buyers. I’ve seen similar models going for 15 to 20k. Kbb for this model ranges from 8 for poor condition to 18k for excellent.”
UPDATE: Was $1500. **SOLD**
It doesn’t have the original engine, but it might be worth a look.
“green Oklahoma title. Chevy 283 v8 mated to the original trans. 4×4, original radio, great project! Truck does not run and is sold as a project. Located in Ponca city, ok”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7778. Seller wants to sell by 5/15.
I might have had these pics on the wrong post … anyway, here’s the right pics on the right post.
“Restored 5 years ago 750 miles. looks good, drives well-been offered Audis and Sailboats-not adverse to trades, but a simple sale is best-this Jeep is now 64 years old, top speed is about 50mph, cruises 45mph-standard with the exception of 12 volt electrics and wheels”

It turns over, but doesn’t start. It has three dash plates.
“Bought in 1995 for plowing driveway, but Stopped using a few years ago. Now it will turn over briefly, but does not start. The brakes do not work and there is no master cylinder. No seats. Definite fixer upper. Transmission worked well when it was running. Has an 8 volt battery, with 8 volt plug in charger. A couple tires do not hold air. Uses a plastic 5 gallon can for fuel tank. No seats. Could use some TLC! Mileage is estimated”
Looks very nice. Jeespterjim is selling this one.
“This is a 1950 Jeepster that runs and drives great. It was in the same family for 40 years. It’s a nice daily driver at an affordable price. The engine has good compression (105 on all cylinders) and was probably rebuilt not long ago. The top and interior are nice and the chrome is very nice. It has an older paint job, that is not perfect. It has the same typical rust issues that most Jeepsters have, but would not be a difficult restoration. You could drive it and fix it up as you go, or just enjoy it the way it is.

(05/08/2012) I saw early pictures of this project. Bryan’s done a good job bringing it back to life.
“What you are looking at is an original restored 1945 WWII Ford GPW Jeep. These have become quite rare. Nearly all parts are “F marked” from the factory all the way down to almost every bolt! This Jeep is nearly complete from top to bottom and is mainly all original. All that you see on the Jeep goes with the Jeep. The body is in very good condition. The front floor has been repaired along with all the hat channels. The rear floor was replaced. The bottom of the floor and top of the floor has been coated in bed liner to protect the metal from future elements. The transmission Is the original T84. For a 67 year old vehicle, this Jeep looks great and is ready for you to hop in a go. Its ready for that around town drive or that WWII reenactment. The engine runs perfectly with great oil pressure and no smoke and is an original WWII engine top to bottom. The brakes have been reworked, and all the electrical replaced including the gauges. The tires are new 600-16 6 ply military NDT tires; thats the original style from the factory. The data tags and frame are number matching! The Jeep has a clear title! Sold as is.
