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 $1000.
(04/15/2010) It runs and has the F-head racing scoop.
“Selling a 48 Jeep willys runs good has some new wiring and electronic ignition. Great deer lease jeep starts good in the cold. Needs to have the transmission rebuilt and a new battery.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
You can see the front clip has been lengthened to fit the later model CJ frame. The fenders were lengthened, but I can’t tell where; however, the extension of the hood is pretty obvious. It now occurs to me that there might be a small market for lengthened flattie fenders and flattie hoods to make this modification easier for builders. Creating fiberglass molds would not be too difficult.
“1948 Willys Jeep in excellent condition. Fully restored by previous owner. 1948 tub mounted on a 1976 CJ5 frame with an AMC 304 V8, T150 trans, Dana 20 transfer case. The jeep is titled as a 1948, and the clear title is in hand. Had some ignition problems when I bought it, but it has been painstakingly sorted out, and runs great. New superswamper 33×10.5 tires on it. Lots new on this jeep (too much to list on here). Serious inquiries only please”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
I’m pretty sure this is a fiberglass body. ACME continues to sell fiberglass, metal and aluminum flattie bodies, as noted below.
“This was a project that never got finished. It has a Buick 231/ turbo 350/ Spicer18/ dana44 with 5/38 gearing/ Summer brothers axils/ aluminum wheels. The body (tub, front fenders, and grill) is an acme with minimum rust. Also comes with a two piece windshield and extra grill (small headlight), windshield wipers, extra u-joints and back seat Asking 2000.00 or best offer.”
Here’s a pic of an ACME glass flattie body. Note the lack of tailgate. You can still purchase these at ACME for $2500:
ACME also sells metal bodies (steel (Early MB, MB, GPW, M-38, CJ-2A, CJ-3A, CJ-3B and even a mini slat grille) & aluminum), though none I see come without tailgates except for the MB bodies, but those have the normal mb characteristics.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6850
(11/10/2009) This looks solid.
“
Awesome little jeep for sale. All original except nice wheels and tires. Has a 3000 pound winch added on the front bumper as well. Origninal motor in it. Looks great, drives great, just a really cool jeep all the way around. Hate to sell it, but just don’t need it.”
UPDATE: SOLD.
Dave let me know that this VEC is for sale over at the CJ-2A Page. The seller hopes to sell the entire jeep, but if he can’t get it sold, he plans to part it out. This has a serial number of #14575, so it is a very early CJ and it would be a shame to see this parted out.
You can see the thread related to this at The CJ-2A Page.
How about this classic sand jeep. If the tires goes with it and are in decent shape, then this looks like a good price for the right person.

(05/06/2010) This is an interesting build. I bet it was modded back in the late 60s or early 70s. How about that steering wheel or the tight corners on those roll bars.
“I have inherited my grandfathers old willys jeep and unfortunately don’t have the money to do the proper restoration on it that it deserves. It is a little more than a fixer upper but it is the entire vehicle, it was never stripped for parts. My step dad got it running a couple years ago and drove it around the yard, but it has gone back to sitting. If you have any interest in it please feel free to contact me and I’d be happy to give you any info I can and or send some more pictures. If you are local we can even meet up and I’ll show it to you in person. This is not a stock willys. My grandfather did a lot of work on it himself and in its day it was an amazing machine. Has a small block V8, fold down front window(good glass), 4×4, tow hitch, roll bar, dual exhaust, and 3 speed manual, and about 114,000 miles(i think, the old odometers only went to 99,999 and then just rolled over again). I would love to see it go to a good home and the price is negotiable, but will be carefully considered.”
Here’s a parts jeep.

“1946 Willys CJ2A project for sale. I bought this jeep in New Hampshire last fall from a guy who said this jeep was “Done Right”. Well, my inexperience paired with my enthusiasm for the jeep impaired my vision. When I started sanding the bondo bubbles, I found that the whole back end was gone. I hired a guy to cut it all out and replace everything with 16 gauge steel. Now that everything is metal and this jeep is solid I am looking to sell it to someone who has the skills to finish the project and live the dream. Needs some bondo skimming over the grinded welds and where the new steel meets the old. It needs a radiator bracket fabricated to hold the brand new custom aluminum radiator that I bought for it. It needs a bracket modification to fit the alternator back on since I put a shallow water pump in. then this jeep should be ready to cruise around town and off road. There are other things of course, but you get the idea. It ran and drove when I bought it last fall. It just needs to be put back together.
the good: Has YJ leafs springs in the front which give it a big lift
Has a running 327 sbc motor
Has a muncie 4 speed
Has 34″ super swampers in 80% condition
Its all solid steel
Now its “Done Right”
Frame is Solid
Custom Dual side exit exhaust
all new brake lines”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500
(06/15/2010) I think it is time for me to create a post on how to take a good picture, issues of light/shadows, what to take, and what not to take ….
