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 $400.
This appears to be a MB body. I’m not sure if there is much salvagable or not.
“Willys CJA2 Jeep, Jeep does not run, appears to have a later model 4 cylinder willys engine, the jeep has rust in pans, Will part out. $400 OBO”

“
Jeep Flat Fender Fiber Glass Body. In good condition. Does not include roll cage and no title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(08/31/2009) It’s got some brake problems and sounds like a project.
“II have a 51 Willys. I have owned it for around 4 years and just have not got around to fixing it up like I would like. It has been under cover the whole time I have owned it to save it from the rust. I started on cleaning up the body, I grinded it down to metal on most parts and and sprayed rust fix and primer on it to help it. The inside has mostly surface rust but the floor board on the driver side will need replaced at some point. I put new intake mainifold, valve covers, fuel pump, and rebuilt the carb. The picture I have does not have the carb on the engine, but it is on now. I have an extra hood and fender. It does have stock axles under it. Like I said it has been awile since I have done anything with it. If you have any questions shoot me an email, text, or phone call. I’m asking 2500,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.
(06/20/2010) It looks like a very good restoration.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
This looks solid. I can’t tell if it needs a paint job on the side or if that’s there by design.
“This jeep runs great. 51 Willys with a 327. Edelbrock intake and carb. Dana tranny & transfer case. rancho suspension. New Optima red top. new seats and new top. everything works. Fun to drive.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
There’s some value here. The engine’s been rebuilt.
“FOR SALE: One Willys CJ-3A that just needs someone to finish it. This unit has the original tailgate, and the dash is almost original. The engine in the frame is a Chevy 4.3 V6 with zero miles on the rebuild. The brakes are new, and has a leaf spring lift with new shackles.

No pics provided. This is a real steal, if it is the real deal!
“Complete stainless 3 a body kit tub fenders grill hood windshield frame seats rollbar tailgate all latched and locks gas tank safari rack bumpers will trade for trail bike or quad 2800 cash obo.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
It needs a motor.
“1952 Flat-fender Willy’s Jeep. Diamond plating, roll cage, lots of fun, needs motor. Best offer, or trade? Let me know what you have.”
UPDATE: Sold. A reader bought this.
There’s plenty of value here, even for a project.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $900
“Nice flat fender project, must check this one out!”
Mark has 2 Stainless Kits still available at $5000 or both for $8000, which readers have likely seen listed previously.
However, this time I got curious, so I did some math. I went to 4WD.com and priced out the cost of buying steel versions of the same parts, just to see a price comparison. Here is the result:
$3400 for non willys stamped CJ-3A tub (includes fenders, body , tailgate, windshield frame)
$361 hood
$246 grille
$150 roll bar
$213 seat frame
$213 seat frame
$300 bumpers
$700 White Vinyl Top
$5583 total
Not included in that total are other parts that are included in the stainless kit:
$? Frame
$? Grab bars
$? Other parts
So, $5000 is looking like a pretty good price for all those parts, especially given they are stainless steel. To see how they look together, you can see 1 of several stainless jeeps Mark assembled below.
“For sale is a COMPLETE stainless steel cj2a jeep kit MINUS DRIVETRAIN. These kits were imported in from the Phillipines years ago, I have built 5 of them and lost interest in the last 3 so instead of them sitting in the corner of my garage for another 10 yrs I have decided to sell them. I sold one last year and now have 2 left.
The kit includes: mild steel frame, stainless tub, grill, fenders, hood, tailgate, windshield frame, seat frames, rollbar, grab bars, and TONS of other stainless accessories. the top is white vinyl.
Asking $5,000 CASH each, I will not ship but am willing to crate and help load when picked-up or if buyer arranges all the shipping details i will help load. Attached is a older pic, I can email more (having problem uploading them). Please feel free to PM or call with any questions, Mark 248-818-8560 Located in Oakland County, MI”

(03/29/2010) The top in particular looks really nice.
