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 $9000
Has some incorrect parts, but runs and drives. Might be an easy restoration project.
“1942 Military Jeep for sale. Naturally, I have the full title. It runs great and is driven weekly. Most major systems have been rebuilt including brakes, steering, frame, etc. It has the “F” Ford symbols throughout the entire vehicle.
Would be a great project for someone who wants to finish out the body for a full restoration. I have a full history of this partial restoration.”

This “War Eagle” has an owner with some history.
“I purchased this 1942 GPW Ford Army Jeep at a military swap meet in 1995. The previous owner had rebuilt the engine and told me it was very low mileage. I stripped the entire body down to the chassis and had it sand blasted. I primed and repainted the entire Jeep myself with an original Army green color. I installed new brakes, brake shoes, master cylinder, all four wheel cylinders, and a new clutch plate and disc. The transmission was rebuilt, installed a new wiring harness, and had all the seats reupholstered. I had a new top made as well. I purchased new tires at the time but they are slightly worn now. It took me approximately 1 year to rebuild the entire Jeep.

Jeep has a front-end shimmy.
“Jeep is fantastic shape and ready to drive this summer. The one issue is if you hit a bad pot-hole it can get a front end shimmy that requires you to slow until it goes away.
If not for this issue I would have priced the vehicle MUCH higher, but am being honest and reducing the reserve price more than enough to fix it if desired.
A fix is not mandatory, you can drive for years as is, just making sure any possible buyer is aware of this issue. It’s the only issue with the jeep, everything else is great.
It normally drives smooth as can be.”
Mark just listed this combo at war jeeps.com

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a rare reconditioned GPW by Higgins. Only 1,850 jeeps were reconditioned by Higgins Plastic Corporation.
For your consideration, a 1942 Ford GPW with mostly original paint and markings. Has peeling red house paint over the olive drab, which in my opinion could probably be mostly removed with a scraper.
Serial #73528, has a civilian engine and t90 transmission installed.
Overall, a nice jeep to restore back to its former glory. Mostly original condition, I have removed an angle iron front bumper, and replaced it with a repro set of gussetts and bumper. Front frame is in pretty good shape, with no welding or cracks.
This has the Ford script on the back.
“Ford GPW WWII Army Jeep, very rare in that it is the “Ford Script” model with “Ford” stamped on the back panel. It was last titled in 1961 in California, and the title is still open from that time. The vehicle was originally sold to the public from the government in 1946, so the title says 46 model and also references the year of sale being 46. The pictures speak for themselves, the GPW will obviously need total restoration. Some fool cut the firewall and floor pan to begin installing a 283 Chevy engine. They also cut a hole in the hood to put a small scoop on. The frame is not cut. I will pull the motor out of the GPW before it is picked up, as the motor DOES NOT go with the vehicle. There are some spots of rust as one would expect, but it is actually fairly solid. The left rear leaf spring is missing, which is why it is leaning to the left.
