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 .
As the seller notes, it will need some work.

Seller also has other body parts for sale. I believe the price is for both?

“Two, Willys tubs, not in the best shape but someone with the tools and time could restore them. The green one is a 3a and the tan one is a 2a. $800 obo, Also have other body parts if interested at additional cost”
Looks like a complete body kit (seller doesn’t mention the hood, but it is there in two pics, so it may be included).

“Brand new reproduction body. Bought new for a project and decided to go another direction with our build. Includes new tub, windshield frame, grille shell, two new front fenders, spare tire mount and rear bumperetts. Cost us 3500 a few years ago asking 3000 but will entertain reasonable offers.”
As the seller notes, it’s rough.
https://newlondon.craigslist.org/pts/d/westbrook-willys-cj2a-body-tub/7091008481.html
“Body tub off of a 1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep. This particular Jeep was a “lefty” which was only made for a short time. The spare tire is on the drivers side and the top bow holders are on the passenger side. However that is the only difference and this body will fit any year CJ2A. It is in rough shape but a good starting point if you don’t have one or if you are looking to customize one. Pictures reflect condition. Asking $400 obo. Would also consider trading for other early Jeep parts.”
UPDATE: Still Available. The jeep as a whole was sold back in 2014.
(12/28/2017) The hardtop looks to be an early Willys-Overland Worman-manufactured hardtop .. a very hard to find item.

“Cab with doors as seen in pics. Does NOT include tub. Best CASH offer.!“

(01/12/2020) Jim spotted this partially rebuild tub.
https://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/pts/d/denton-1958-willys-cj3b-jeep-body-tub/7053857591.html
“Partially restored 1958 Willys CJ3B tub.
Most of the rigorous work has already been done. There is still some metal work left, but 95% rust free at this point, and that’s before blasting! A ton of work has gone into this project so far and picking it up from this point should go smoothly in the right hands. It’s in great shape, no major issues that can’t be repaired easily. Please contact me if interested. Thanks for looking! I could potentially trade for other willys Jeep parts and attachments. Looking for: warn overdrive, Koenig PTO or crankshaft winch, military soft top and bows, Koenig hard top and doors, PTO gearbox, overdrive/PTO adapter, seat frames and cushions. If you have willys parts, let’s deal!”
Given we can see the cement floor through the gas inlet, I’d say this may need some floor work.

“Tub, front fenders, windshield”
UPDATE: **Sold** Was $600.

(08/16/2019) This body has had lots of work done to it.
https://lakecharles.craigslist.org/pts/d/sulphur-cj2a-willys-body-for-sale/7049702426.html
“During a frame off restoration we realized the body we have does not match the frame. The body (tub, fenders, hood, front and rear bumper) is for a ’48 vintage CJ-2A. Fenders and hood are in excellent shape. Hood has a customized box that was installed to accommodate the non-stock (for the body) engine. Tub is in average condition. Body mount channels on the bottom have some wastage and will need to be replaced. The storage bin under the passenger seat is missing. Otherwise, repairs have been made to previous wastage. We need to make room for the new body.
Entire body was on an operational chassis and was driven. As-is, it is functional. Restoration will require attention in the above areas.
I also have the front grill and windshield. Am not sure if I’m going to repurpose those but if not, they will be included with this body.”
It’s been cut up, but it would still make a fine race or offroad body. Fiberglass shells are often used for race jeeps around the PNW.

“Fiberglass Willys tub has brake master cylinder petals and steering column was going to use this and make a rat rod jeep but I Lost interest in it so this one needs to go”
This is an “Ever-Built” stainless body kit from the mid-1990s.

“1946 WILLYS JEEP STEEL TUB. VERY GOOD COND. WERE TOLD IT WILL FIT FROM 45 THRU 60. WITH SOME ADAPTINGM MAYBE.. yOU REALLY SHOULD SEE THIS ONE
IF YOU NEED A GOOD USED TUB”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This deal should work for someone. A couple extra holes provides ventilation, lol.
“New reproduction Willy’s CJ-2A body tub. The previous owner attempted to mount the tub onto a CJ-3A frame and therefore drilled and cut holes in the floorpans / dash to try and make everything work. (CJ3A frame is longer than a CJ2A) Go check the price of a new reproduction body tub (plus what it costs to ship) and then come buy mine. $1500 obo. Other Willys parts available, specifically early CJ’s stuff.”
This looks to be a good price. There are similar Bobcat-style wide-lipped versions of this body, but the steps were different. So, I’m not sure who the manufacturer of this body was.
