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: Still Available.

“This 1964 Jeep runs and drives around the yard but hasn’t been on the road in years. It has a clean title. It has a little bit of body rust typical for the age. The floorboards have been replaced by aluminum diamond plate. $2500. Or B.O.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(06/29/2018) Has a fiberglass body.
“I’ve had this for about 10 years. It had a 350 in it but it started knocking so we put a rebuilt 4.3 in it. It need some work on the motor sounds like it’s out of time . I put new tires on it a few months ago
It has a fiberglass body It fun to drive and a good project for someone.”
Did any of these Porto-Mills survive?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,500.
This initially appeared as a 1941 GP, as that is what was on the title. After a bit of sleuthing, we figured out that this is a 1943 GPW frame with a 1942 GPW body on it.
“For sale 1943 GPW Military Jeep, with a 1942 Ford Script tub. Starts every time and is easy and fun to drive. Very clean World War II jeep shows great in parades and would be perfect for those re-enactors.
There are some additions to the jeep that are not original, updated to 12 volt system, locking hubs and diamond plate on back fenders added by prior owner. Also included are tool pouch, paperback manual, two unopened boxes with contract number that are Shim Cap Sets, and a US military backpack with canteen. Will not ship and I do not need help selling.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
It does have some rust, but if it’s not bad, this could be a good price.

Has a funky (boat?) driver’s seat.
“1947 Willys CJ2A Jeep. Runs good. No smoke.”
Glenn spotted this DJ-3A. The paint looks nice on this (and nearly matches Patterson). Seller suggests this is a museum quality restoration, but it’s missing hubcaps, the air cleaner hose, and the horn button. It also lacks the windshield twist locks for the soft top and the soft top itself. The passenger side seat looks a little low.

“1953 Willy’s 3B High hood body with a 3A motor. Drive train functions well all gears forward/reverse. Brakes ok however the starter went out needs replacing. Motor turns over and runs with new starter. As stated above the motor is the L head and not the F head. Hard top and doors comes with plow.”
Includes a new fiberglass body. The V6 badge suggests this is a mid to late 1960s CJ-5.

“Yes We have been working restoring this old Willy’s Jeep. Now I am ready to sale it. No it currently does not run yet. It ran when it was parked a few years ago. The old man who had it before me. Died. and there is no title. To be found. Have to start all over again. (Application for title) thru DMV. with (Statement of facts) and Bill of sale. I worked alot on the interior/exterior, sanding and painting. I had to purchase brand-new 1945 Willy’s Jeep seats and new windshield. I removed the Gas tank to clean it out. It still needs a good 12volt battery before trying to start it. And finish cleaning/installing gas tank.”
This past weekend was the 2018 Willys America Open House. Thanks to Paul Barry for hosting and for Scramboleer Dan for posting photos and reports at the Old Willys Forum. You can see all the photos here (you must be logged in to see most of the photos). I’ve posted a few pics below.
A distant relative of mine was vacationing in Bad Sachsa, Germany, when he spotted this jeep. They city has an annual Schützenfest that includes a parade.
It looks like the same jeep was in the 2017 parade.

“1943 Ford GPW. SN 102820 3-16-1943
This jeep originally came from a farm in southern Missouri. The previous owner had it for many years, and he used it as a farm jeep. It was in rough shape, and it was missing a lot of parts. I bought it from him and slowly began to make some progress, it was a continuous project for about 8 years. I ended up having to replace the tub with a late ’42 tub. The front floor, fuel tank sump, and hat channels were all replaced.
I ended up taking the very long and costly road for a restoration; starting with a basic shell of a project and tracking down all the pieces to complete it. The vast majority of the parts are original GPW NOS or take-off parts, but there are some reproductions in the mix. The vast majority of mounting hardware are also original script bolts/nuts/washers.
Everything on this jeep functions, it was a frame off restoration. It is 6 volts and all lighting works as it should, the transmission/transfer case shift like they should, and the engine runs very smoothly. Brakes are adjusted, and they do not grab or pull. Continue reading
Nice looking jeep, but not restored to original. It’s got M-38 grille hinges, electrical updates, and some other mods.
