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 .
This appears restorable.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(03/17/2014) Given the name on the tailgate it is clear this is a Fiberglass Bobcat body. If you look at the first pic you can see the windshield frame sitting on the cowl with only part of the rubber. This builder discovered what I and other discovered. The cowl wasn’t formed quite right to fit the windshield correctly. So, this builder decided only to protect the driver from rain.

Cool trailer. Jeep has a fiberglass tub.

The Jeep has fiberglass tub with brand new Hot Rod Flatz olive drab paint, disc brakes, 3 inch lift, 32 inch tires on 15×10 rims, lined tub with a full carpet kit, overhead console with a am/fm cd player in it, 14 gallon tank, custom tire carrier with 2 inch hitch, block heater, side steps, padded roll bar, dual exhaust, electric wipers, and a full soft top in great shape.
The trailer is a jeep frame with a cut down tub and new paint. it has two large ammo cans and two new jerry cans on it. All of the tires are interchangeable with the jeep and trailer. the tub is rhino lined and it has reinforced corners and back on it.
I don’t have to sell it or need help selling it but I have found another project car I would like to restore. probably not interested in trading. $10,500.00”
The seller notes this is “bone stock”, but I can’t determine which stock model this one is. There may be some value here, but it isn’t “bone stock”.

“1947 Willys CJ2A – Fiberglass Tub, Hood & Fenders $8,000 boo
7,400 Miles
Vehicle is currently located in Colorado Springs, CO
The title on this unit is clear and it is in my name. It has a whole bunch of aftermarket parts including a fiberglass tub, hood and fenders on an original Willys frame with an original grill and a CJ3A windshield frame. The Jeep has Warn premium Lockout hubs all the way around and a tow bar which enable it to be flat towed. Why buy a Rubicon or a TJ when you can have the original for a fraction of the cost. There is no doubt about it. This rig is bad@ss.
ENGINE:
377 CI Chevy Stroker V8 Motor w/RV Cam. Very powerful.
Edelbrock performer manifold and Edelbrock 750 Carb w/offroad needles and jets set for about 7000-9000 foot elevation currently but it comes with and Edelbrock jetting and Needle kit.
