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”
I can’t tell if the price is for the pair or for each one.
“Stainless willys jeep fenders never been mounted for 3a,2a,3b will be at portland swapmeet on fri – sun 400 OBO.”
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.”
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 spent a little time going through the IMCDB website to see how correct some of the jeep identifications were. As I was going through the different jeeps, I spotted this stainless steel flattie, something I’ve never seen in a movie. I have also never heard of the Movie “Laure”.
Following the stainless bodies last night, I figured I’d head to the Phillipines and find some non Jeepney, but equally interesting, flatties. I didn’t have to search too hard for a good forum thread on what I’d call “low rider flatties”. You can see the beginning of the thread here: tsikot.com or click on the pictures to get to the relevant page of the thread.
