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: Price dropped to $11,000.
(03/16/2023) This jeep is road legal and has a variety of mods.

“Jeep off road only, no title, built this with my son , then he went into the Air Force , I finished the build and never took it in the mud. It’s a racing jeep, Chevy 327 with 385 hp Chevy running gear, shift kit, electric water pump. Electric fan, Radiator in the back, it has roll around tires on it now, will take bigger tires. Engine has all the goodies, will run on pump gas I have racing fuel in it. I have 12,500 invested in this project. It just needs a driver. It’s loud and it’s fast, will pull front off the ground. I am to old to be doing this that’s why I never took it in the mud”
This vehicle is located just south of Spokane. If you were planning on stretching a body, maybe this will meet your needs.

“Bought to finish and time ran out. Has running v8 and wagoner axels. Rear is installed. No driveline installed. Vehicle is stretched. Have pretty much all parts to finish. And extra parts.”
Here’s an unusual build. It is stretched and modified.

This is an interesting creature. Anyone recognize the chassis? The body looks lengthened, or is custom, or is some type of replacement body (prob out of the Philippines if a replacement).

Here’s an oddball.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/487795796012878
“1982 Mail jeep sitting on a 1996 s10 frame. 350 motor and 350 transmission. Steering has been converted to right hand drive. Runs and drivers great. Very fun and fast truck”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This looks to be a modified and stretched CJ-3B. This might be 2WD.
“1946 Willy jeep will crank by spraying starting fluid in carburetor 62654 miles showing. No u can not drive it home. It needs work. But for its age it’s not bad 2500 o.b.o”
A custom stretched DJ-5.

“Wow this is cool – what kind of Jeep is this exactly? From Europe? South America? Is this Korean war era? Falkland Islands? Northern Ireland? These are the kinds of questions I get which is a lot of fun. If you don’t like attention, this is not the Jeep for you.
It started out as a retired postal Jeep (DJ5). I’ve since extensively modified it to be of roughly the same dimensions as the rare Willys CJ6. Frame stretched 18” with lots of hand fabricated body modifications, roll bars, etc. Custom safari top (the only top), new seats & seatbelts, Bluetooth stereo. I tossed the tired 4-banger and swapped in a stout Ford 302 & C4 automatic. Engine has 351 heads, 4bbl, new electronic distributor, water pump, radiator, exhaust manifolds, battery, etc. etc. Fairly aggressive cam, sounds great. Way more motor than this light truck needs, but it is fun.
I can’t tell if this was built to drag/sand race or just built to be a hot rod cruiser.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $19,990.
(12/11/2020) This is certainly unusual build.
“f Jeep would have started building these in the 70s, they would have never had financial issues. Look at this rare piece.The Jeep was built using all CJ5 parts. The front door is modeled off of a CJ7. The rear door is modeled off of a CJ5.
The bed is extended to the length of a CJ6 or CJ8 Scrambler. The frame is stretched 36 inches in the middle and 14 inches behind the rear axle. The frame was boxed from the front to the rear spring perches. It has Dana 30 and Dana 44 axles (both are open diffs). The transfer case is a Dana 20. The transmission is a 3 speed. I believe it is a T150.
The engine is an AMC 360 from a 1972 Wagoneer. It was rebuilt about 20,000 miles ago. It was bored over. The crank was turned. It got all new bearings, new pistons, new valve guides, and hardened seats. It has an RV cam, an Edelbrock SP2P low rise dual plane intake, and a Holley Street Avenger 570cfm double pumper carb. Skip White electronic ignition/distributor. Warn 8274 Winch. Heavy duty steel front fenders. (Matching Rescue Green CJ5 OEM fenders also included.) Rear corner guards. The motor has more than enough power for a vehicle this size.
If this builder didn’t stretch this, then it could have been a CJ-2L (it looks about the right length).

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(05/18/2020) Coincidently, $2500 ($1500 in cash, key fob, and other stuff and $1000 in tires) is how much it cost us to get out of Spanish Fork when we were there in 2018! This modified CJ-5 is kinda ugly and cool at the same time. Given he top, the winch, and the turbine rims, there just might be some value here. No description provided.
Here’s a unique project Roger Martin shared.

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $300.
Could be of interest to the right person. Looks similar to a CJ-2L, but this is more likely a one-off build.

“For sale or trade is my CJ3B Willys flat fender Jeep that is stretched to CJ6 length. Below is a lot of info, so please take the time to read it . I call it a CJ6B (CJ3B body at CJ6 length).”
Specs:
• Body, title, VIN, VIN plate, and original black California plates are from a 1960 Willys CJ3B. Clear title and current registration, both in my name. Tub is stretched behind the door openings; seats 4 adults. It sits on an early CJ6 frame. The wheel base is about 104″. Plenty of leg room & head room all around.
• Engine: Buick V6 225 odd-fire, about 8,000 miles on it since rebuild by previous owner; new battery, aluminum 2 core radiator, electric fan, heavy flywheel, known for allowing low rpms and good crawling,
No doubt there is little GPW left in this modified flat fender.

The rear of this has been stretched. It includes kennels for hunting dogs. This was for sale back in 2013, but there were not pics of it at the time. This is how the seller described it in that post: “1955 Willys quail jeep with stretch body. Dog boxes and high rise back set and front scouting seats mounted to front bumper. Not perfect or pretty, but runs strong and gets the job done.”
“Runs good changed out the condenser points and rotary button fuel tank needs to be cleaned and it will be ready to hunt again it’s a cj3b”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
(01/27/2017) Looks fun. A stretched, custom sand toy. Interesting cage design. That middle loops leans way back.
“1953 Jeep Willys CJ3 Jeep was built for Silverlake and has been stretched 14″ to accommodate room for rear seats and fuel cell. 355 SBC, steel crank, dome pistons, 3500 stall converter, fresh rebuild on t400 trans, J20 rear end, built 455 rear gear. custom cage, 5 point harnesses front and back.

This appears to have been a CJ-2A that’s been heavily modified. Possible CJ-2L?
