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: Price dropped to $6000.
Looks like a good price.
“This 1943 GPW is in good condition and runs just as well. It drives at top speeds of roughly 55mph 3 speed transmission and the original flat 4 engine that has been modified to a 12v system. This is a fun jeep to own and drive.”

Question: If this is a GPW, then why is there a gas filler cap on the side of the body? I thought all MBs and GPWs have the filler cap on the top of the tank under the seat like my 42 MB.
It’s possible someone installed it. Also possible someone installed a new panel on the driver’s side. It doesn’t look like a VEC 2A body to me. Good question though.
Could be a repop tub also.
Thanks for the input. BTW, the posting has already been deleted off Craigslist. Looks like the price was right for this one!
I’ve seen several WW2 Jeeps with civilian gas tanks installed and side panel cut out
(most likely after the original tank started to leak)…the original sump is still evident on this jeep…
Thanks Cody. I’ve updated the post.

Hmnn, back on Craigslist! Wonder what was done to the driver’s side rear fender to get the driver’s seat moved back.
