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.
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 $12,000
Engine is seized.
“1942 Script Ford GPW. Delivered to the Army on April 29, 1942.
This is a great jeep and has matching frame and body. The engine was a World War II era replacement. This is a great piece of history and has been a joy to own.
The engine has seized and the transmission needs to be repaired.”
This looks pretty great for that price. I’d be surprised if it doesn’t sell fast. I love the photo with the ship (battleship?) and M60 tank in the background 🙂 … just wish the placcard wasn’t obstructing the view.
Wonder what happened to cause the ‘seize’. Looks as though it’s been used for re-enacting and appears to be a good looking driver. Did someone forget to check the oil!?
This doesn’t appear to be a great deal, motor needs rebuilt, transmission needs work…
If he was willing to deal it might be a okay buy.
$12k for a non-runner? Seized engine? Busted trans? That’s not a deal at all! That rifle on the side better be nice, and the M1911 pistols in the glove box better be good shooters too.
OK… so maybe I missed where it said, “engine has seized” AND where Dave noted “engine is seized”… but still this has very significant value: I’m thinking $9K to $10.5 to the right buyer.
…and not JUST because I’m partial to ’42 GPWs 😉
That first picture is from Battleship Park in Mobile, AL. It’s the USS Alabama. It’s a great place to get lost in.
Please let me know if this gpw is still for sale?
Regards Pete
Looks like this one sold. I’ve updated the post.
