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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .

(08/07/2010) Actually, not a bad price.
“2 Door, Convertible, 4 Wheel Drive, Manual Transmission, Alloy Wheels, New Tires, Removable Top, Bucket Seats, Leather Seats, Power Steering”
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”

I wandered across this swiss website today (.ch — though the seller is in Mulheim, Germany). Apparently, it is a reseller of stainless steal bodies. The site has a variety of images, which I suspect were taken in the Phillipines. It looks like these bodies are built in someone’s backyard. Anyway, I thought the pics were interesting, so here they are. For 3500 Euros, you can get a complete setup for your Jeep.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $55,000.
(03/10/2010) “This rare find — a completely handmade, completely stainless steel Jeep — was commissioned in the Philippines in 1981 and custom built by then-President Ferdinand Marcos. It was later purchased by a well-known national television news correspondent, who then had this one of a kind Jeep shipped back to Los Angeles. It has never been driven. With less than 10 miles on the odometer, this classic style “Eisenhower” Jeep is a vintage car collector’s dream. The exterior is like new; it’s been protected in a fully-covered, temperature-controlled garage since its trip to the United States. To our knowledge this is the only Jeep of its kind in the U.S. The brushed-exterior is in supreme condition. The engine is a rebuilt 1953 Willy’s V-8 that needs only minor service. Complete vehicle sold as is.”
This looks like a strong build that includes various stainless parts.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
It’s unclear exactly what the foundation for this jeep is, but the body is definitely stainless. The soft top is unusual too; note the buttons up the side.
