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.

“Narrowed aqualu aluminum cj7 tub. 48″ wide. Has seat mount , shifter mount and steering rod mount. $1500 obo”

Well this is interesting. That body might fit nicely on a post 1972 stock CJ-5 Frame.

The fenders are a little odd.

“1953 Jeep with an aluminum body. Dash and grill are original. Clutch and transition are new. This jeep will climb a wall with its 4 cylinder turbo diesel. Needs some TLC but its a blast to drive. includes a winch and snowplow.
I am sorry I had many calls and I dropped my phone in the lake Tuesday. If you are still interested please call.”
Bill forwarded this ad. The body is aluminum. It’s listed as a 1942, but the chassis is likely newer than that.
“942 Willys jeep, aluminum body, nice rims, new tires, V-6 crossfire motor, power sterring, new springs,.”

“Aqualu Jeep aluminum body tub for CJ-2A or 3a. Brand new, was purchased for a project that never got off the ground. You can see the specs at www.aqualu.com it is part# 5000. This body is a direct replacement for the stock body, and is much stronger. Plus it is made from 5052 marine grade aluminum which means it won’t rust, or corrode.
MAKE OFFER! I need this gone.
P.S. If this is still listed it is still available, Due to excessive scammers if I receive a email that asks if it is still available I will assume you did not read this and will delete your email. Thank you.”
This has nothing to do with jeeps, but Steve forwarded it thinking I might like it. I did. I figured some of you would too.
According to the attached text of the email, “Check this out… a hand-formed all-aluminum Willys Coupe! It’s amazing what some people can do with an English rolling wheel, sheet metal brake and a lot of skill and knowledge. No, he is not going to paint it. I love the polished flames! It’s got the right stuff under the hood, too! The hood scoop has yet to be installed in the photo below (Look closely). This is Walt Austin’s aluminum Willys coupe at Jim Hume’s shop, south of Bellingham , Washington.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
Here’s an aluminum flattie body on a modified Ford Bronco chassis. As I mentioned in a post last week, the vented hoods are very rare. I’m not sure if that’s aluminum or steel.
“Unique aluminum bodied CJ2 Jeep. This is a professionally built for off road, but very streetable CJ2. It is a real eye catcher. It features a highly modified 1974 Bronco chassis with 4 wheel disc brakes, dual master cylinders, urethane bushings, power steering, trans. cooler, power steering cooler, etc. It sits on, like new, 35X10X15 Goodyears. Power is supplied by a fresh 351w ford with edelbroch manifold and newly rebulit edelbrock 4 barrel, connected to a modified c-4 trans.and headers. It is an older construction, but is done right! I prefer cash, but will consider a trade for a nice cj or wrangler or ? and cash. ”
This was rebuilt with an aluminum body.
“This is a 1950 Jeep CJ3A all aluminum body. Rebuilt 350 motor. TH350 auto transmission.

(02/21/09) “This is a full PROJECT I have most of the pieces to complete BUT it is missing the interior and misc. crap. TIRED OF LOOKING AT IT NEED IT GONE MAKE OFFER.
It’s cool, but it’s a CJ-3A not CJ-3B.
“CJ3B Aluminum one of a kind. Pictures speak for themselves. POLISHED aluminum… Detailed replica of CJ3B flat fender… Aftermarket AFW frame. I acquired this Jeep CJ3B through a long history and I just do not have the time to complete the project. My loss your gain… The original fabrication cost of the body and frame is over $12,000. Motor mounts are for a Chevy 350, or Vortec V6, Buick v6 etc… 44 difs no gears. The wheels and rims pictured may not come with the vehicle… very scratched rims etc… not worthy of this show piece. Price is $8,500 negotiable, motivated to sell in 2009.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4100
