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 .

It’s powered by a Ford 9N Tractor engine.

Super Rare, and if you find a carb for one they can be worth $5,000 alone.
Any Ford N series motor is easy to find carbs for. Ford made a million N series tractors between 1939 and 1952. Last I heard, approximately 750,000 are still in use. Ford also put this same engine in F1 pickups sold to Brazil during WWII. Probably, won’t make it much past 40 MPH, but still not a bad redesign and easy to get parts for.
The Holley 847D carb. was exclusive to the Ford GP as it is a downdraft unit. The 9N tractor used an updraft carb. It may be readily available, but not correct for the GP. And yes, original 847D’s are going for $5K…although Joe’s Motorpool in England currently has rights to repro these carbs.
I too have been told that those Ford GP carbs go for about $5k by a guy who rebuilds prototypes.
