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 $4000.
This seems to be a mix of CJ-3A, CJ-2A, and GPW parts.
“This is an original 4 WD, 4cylinder, 3 speed Willys Jeep.
Canvas Top
Exterior Attached Gas Can
2.0 Ton Winch
Excellent Condition
Runs Great
NO Trades
$4000.00”
UPDATE: Still Available
(04/30/2012) There appears to be potential here. It runs and drives, too. Not too far from me.
“1945 Willys jeep. All original drive train, frame, and body. Original 4 cylinder motor that has been already converted to a 12 volt system. Runs and drives great. Needs new brakes and lights to be road legal. Has no title. $1500 firm. Any questions or if you want more pictures please call 509-520-6865.”

UPDATE: SOLD*** Was listed at $3500.
This might be a very good price. It looks quite solid, despite needing brakes.
“1945 jeep gpw new engine needs brakes”
It runs and drives, but is rough.
“1948 WILLYS CJ2A/FORD GPW SCRIPT JEEP, it has a 1948 Willys CJ2A title, serial number JC2A 179377, CJ3A hood and CJ3A windshield and CJ3A grill, A 1942 FORD SCRIPT TUB and FRAME NUMBER IS GPW 13101 and a 283 Chevy V8 with a four barrel carb, motor start easy and runs good.
My mechanic drove it and gave me this report, the V8 makes it really squirrelly, way to much power, it jumped out of second gear once. I do have another T90 with long input shaft if the buyer wants it. It has power brakes, after market steering, 30 X 9.5 X 15 inch tires, after market racing seats, the Ford Script tub has rust in front floor area, rear floor and tool boxes do not have any rust, it has original “F” foot rest, “F” door strap eye bolts, steel gas tank in place of rear seat, (good thing as no hole cut in side for a CJ2A gas tank neck) 12 volt battery and alternator, the front fenders appear to be MB as they have the headlight arm hold screws still on them.
I can get a correct title with the GPW 13101 frame number if someone wanted it for $250 extra, (not included in this auction) it takes about 30 days to get one.
I do have a WWII windshield, hood and grill that I will make available to the buyer for extra money, if they want them, but they are not included in this auction.
Certified funds must be paid within 7 days of auction end. Payment must clear my bank before jeep can be picked up or delivered.”

This came out of a museum? Maybe it was used at a museum rather than shown in one? Those headlights are one-of-a-kind.

“What you are looking at is an original restored 1943 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 and factory stock. All that you see on the Jeep goes with the Jeep. The body is in very good condition. The front floor has been replaced along with all the hat channels and the fuel tank well. The bottom of the floor and top of the floor has been coated in bed liner to protect the metal and the hat channels are made from galvanized steel. The transmission Is a T90 and was installed with care. For a 69 year old vehicle, this Jeep looks great and is ready for you to hop in a go. The engine has been overhauled, brakes reworked, and all the electrical replaced. The engine runs perfectly with no miss or no smoke! It could use new tires, but drives good as is. The Body and Frame are number matching! The Jeep has a clear title! Sold as is.
