About eWillys
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.
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 .
Bill shared this project. It looks like a cross between the Bonanza III and the standard cab. The Bonanza III had windows where the those horizontal indentations were located.
“I have a 1967 Jeep metal top metal doors body good shape been sitting on a ranch for a long time sold on a bill of sale”
“I have a old willys jeep for parts frame has small crack in it other then that it’s good shape axles motor and trans is locked up need rebuilt body is no good at all 300 cash”
“All these parts were in one group in a barn, several items marked Willys mb from the 1940’s and I believe they all are.
Look at the pictures, write for measurements or identification marks and more pictures.
There are 4 hoods and 2 gas tanks in addition to all the front and rear axle parts
All are to go in one lot,, I will not seperate,
Everything was in a dry pole barn and reasonably clean.
I seem to collect stuff so will consider trades, old military is my main interest
Write then I can call,, hard to receive calls here, this is on and mail is open all the time so i reply fast.”
UPDATE: A search revealed a second ad, this time in the December 1968 issue of Desert Magazine (pg 34). That same issue also included ad for VW fenders by the same company (pg 42).
This fiberglass hardtop for CJ-5s was advertised in the November 1968 issue of Four Wheeler. I’ve never run crossed one.
A reader who shall remain anonymous shared the story of how pictures of his jeep mysteriously appeared on Craigslist without his knowledge. It turned out someone had taken the pics off a different craigslist ad and was using them to trick buyers into sending the thief money for a vehicle he didn’t own.
Our faithful reader only discovered the issue thanks to eWillys. He was quite surprised to see an ad for his vehicle! So, he contacted the police, which led to the takedown of twenty people working together to “fake sell” vehicles across the US. He’ll be testifying in court later this year.
Here are a couple links discussing Craigslist scams:
Kaiser Willys is having a Fall photo contest with prizes up to $1,000. Send a photo of your jeep to them and maybe you’ll land on the front cover the their 2018 catalog!
