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 .

Josh is selling this very complete GPW. He provides a very complete description along with more than 100 photos of it on ebay. If he says it you can trust it is true.
“You are bidding a 1945 FORD GPW serial number 272179 ALL NUMBERS do match; Frame, motor, and original glove box data plate. The Jeep does run, drive and stop. This jeep is what I’d call an older soft restoration (basically just a paint job, canvas, and mechanical attention where needed). It is incredibly complete and incredibly original. Really this one is a true survivor…..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.
It’s rough, but appears complete.
“1943 Willys Jeep – Original, does not run, has CA title. This is part’s vehicle if you need parts for your WW II flatfender jeep restoration. Jeep was stored outside for many years and exposed to the elements. Does not have original combat wheels, top bows, etc. Not interested in trades and no spammers.”

This might be worth a look.

“I have a 1943 Ford GPW jeep for sale ” The Original Jeep” I have painted it and done some minor repairs to it over the past few years. It has a 134 Flathead motor and it is very reliable!!!! Before I bought the jeep the previous owner sent the block to a shop to have it completely rebuilt. It has approximately 4000 miles miles on the motor and I had rebuilt the transmission and transfer case and drove it for the past 1500 miles. There is a few cancer issues with the jeep but that is kind of expected for a vehicle of this age. I had replaced the shackle’s for the springs and converted it to a 12 volt alternator system. Serious inquiries only please.”

Both of the steps on this jeep have been thickened in some manner. I’d check the front frame rails out as well.
“1942 Jeep (Manufactured By Ford); Olive Drab Exterior; Matching Interior; 4 Cylinder; Manual Transmission; Runs Perfect”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was on eBay.
(03/13/2011) It isn’t completely original, but should make a good looking gpw with some restoration.
“How’s that for patina on an old jeep. You are bidding on a 1943 GPW that has been in the same family since the 50’s and the paint is probably that old as well. According to the mechanic who checked the vehicle it is in excellent running condition with great oil pressure. According to the little plate that I found in the jeep in was reconditioned in 1945 by a company in Oakland, California.
I’ll try and look for the tag to see what company did the reconditioning. I bought the jeep because of the condition and that old faded paint which is hard to find with the plan to put my GPW motor in it but I’ve found another vehicle so I’m putting this one back for sale. Although the engine is in great running condition it is a willys, I do however have a GPW motor (which needs to be rebuilt ) that I can put in the vehicle instead. For an extra $300 the winner can get the jeep with both engines. As can be seen in the engine bay pictures, it is pretty complete with the exception of the horn (F marked fuel filter, correct air cleaner etc.).
All gauges are present and appear to be original to the jeep. There is some rust in the hat channels. The different shade of green is due to the seat covers that protected the covered area over the years but it looks like if you sand the paint a little you could bring it back to life ( I tried that while looking for hood numbers). As with any vehicle that has been sitting for many years it will need some work to be road worthy. I don’t usually take trades but if you have any rare slat grill parts or early Ford GPW part, I will take them on trade as long as we agree on price before you bid. With a good tune up and new brakes and canvas, you can enjoy this jeep for many years before restoring it. As always I recommend that all interested parties do their research before bidding on the vehicle. Since I require a non refundable deposit, I also recommend that all interested parties come see the jeep in person before bidding to make sure it is what they want. I will except offer through ebay for our mutual protection. I will only end the auction early to end to the highest bidder once I’ve received a deposit. It’s very hard to find a jeep in good running condition for that price that you can start enjoying in very little time.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $3000.
This looks like a pretty good price even with the wrong motor.
