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 .

Ed Bray and his parents raced jeeps for years throughout the West. They built two Fiberglass Bobcat bodied race jeeps. In fact the family was friends with both Paul Parker (Parkette Fiberglass Body manufacturer) and Fred Weis (Bobcat Fiberglass body Manufacturer).
Their first jeep with a bobcat body was built on a military frame and powered by a 327 with 365 HP. Below is Ed’s mother at the start of a race in Calgary where she won an obstacle race. A year ago Ed spotted this jeep, still powered by the same motor (he recognized the sound), driving in Spanaway, Washington.
The next jeep the family built in 1976 started with a factory ordered CJ-7 frame. They stretched a Bobcat body 13″ and installed a Chevy 350/350 LT1 motor set back 8″ with a B&M Turbo 400 w/reverse manual shifter. They added a Wagoner 44 in the rear and a Scout 44 in the front. They raced the jeep in SCORE events, ran the Mint 400 four times, and tried the BAJA 500 in 1980, but DNF’d. The first picture below is from Riverside and the second from the Mint 400.
Ed’s father Don died in 2001. Ed has been refurbishing the family CJ-3A that started it all.
The body and front clip looks like fiberglass to me.
“Was planning on restoring it but i dont have the time. I have the motor out of it and tore down. Has potential. Call or Text at (518)-320-5090”

This fiberglass bodied jeep includes an overdrive. It hasn’t been touched in a while, but there appears to be value here.
“53 Willys Jeep. Project. Set up for small Chevy. 3 speed manual tranny. Dana 18 with Warn O/D. Fiberglass body. Stock Dana axles. Stock Willys frame. Has not ran in probably decades. Purchased by my late Father in the early 90’s, and put where it sits. Original Vin plate intact. Hasn’t been tagged since 1988. Definitely a project. Will NOT part out.
Was told the little Chevy in it, is a 327. But I have no way to confirm it. If interested, you would need to come look at it. Like I said, it’s a project. It’s being sold as is. Have not been able to find the title, but I am looking. It existed at one time. $1000 obo. The Vin alone is worth….”
