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 .
A bit rough, but a great price.
“Fiberglass hood from a Willy’s Jeep.
Please call, I don’t respond to text or email.”

Could be a Bobcat body.
“Has title. Heavy duty body. You haul”

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.
“FOR SALE IS A 1945 WILLYS JEEP WITH FIBER GLASS TUB NEVER WORRY REPAIRING RUSTED METAL NEEDS BRAKES, BATTERY RUN LAST YEAR”

(10/29/2013) This modified flattie has a Bobcat fiberglass body. I don’t see too many with the branded tailgate.

Damian wrote to tell me that a favorite drag jeep of mine, Rapid Transit, is racing under a new owner and a new power train. It looks like it uses a Bobcat hood and (likely) body.
He writes, “believe it or not this jeep is still around in the cleves, ohio area and races regularly, but it is now a center seater 2wd and has a small block chevy, i race with the current owner and also do photography.”
You can view Damian’s photos on Facebook. Below is a comparison between the old and new racer.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
This custom fiberglass flattie has been stretched in the front, among other mods. The grill style looks pretty different, but no good pics of it.
“Jeep mud sand. Lots of extra parts axels transmission clutch”
