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 .
“This is a fun, mechanically solid trail jeep. It has been on almost every trail in Washington and every sand dune in Oregon, so it has some issues. I have alway driving this Jeep hard but not to the breaking point. After every trip this Jeep got a good cleaning, fluids checked then got it ready for the next trip before putting it away. It drives pretty good on the street, but with the rear spool and no turnsignals and no full top, it is not a daily driver. Continue reading →
(09/22/09) It looks nice. I’d like to see more pics. It sounds like this has had a complete overhaul over the years.

(11/29/09) This is similar to the old AJ Fiberglass Bodies, except that the fenders look newer.
“This is a restored with fiberglass body, 1952 Willys Jeep. Three speed 4-cylinder with military style tires. Had for 1-1/2 years and almost finished with another jeep project so this on needs a new home. I have replaced the speedometer, several hoses and gaskets in engine.

(05/30/2011) The body is fiberglass and the engine a 258.
“A real head turner! My jeep is a 53 willys body on a 78 cj7 frame. The body is all fiberglass, so no rust. There is an 1984 six cylinder 258 engine. Original engine (an older 258) was replaced with this 258 three years ago. Guy I bought it from said it was rebuilt 25000 miles ago. Has the carter 2bbl carb. Has a T150 transmission. Transmission was checked over last year. Shifts very good in forward gears. Does grind when you put it in reverse but only if you do it quickly. 4 Wheel drive works awesome. Has lockers on the front rims. The tires are 35″ BFGoodrich All Terrain wheels. The rims were painted in april of this year. Brand new custom made bumpers were installed in march of this year too. Jeep is a short wheel base car so if you turn sharply while going fast you are guaranteed to roll! That being said, this jeep has never been rolled. There is so much more that can be said about this jeep! The hood is the only odd thing on this jeep. The guy before me either hand made this or cut something up. Its all fiberglass, is a bifold, and is clamped down but the center flaps up and down while you are going at fast speeds. I have an original 53 cj2a hood that I will include only if the car sells for the asking price, other wise I can resell it.
In the 6 years Ive own this jeep I havent driven it more than 2000 miles and thats being generous. Has been garage kept. Previous owner owned it since it was put together. He was also a welding teacher so a lot of things are welded, like the roll bar to the windshield (which is metal). Only selling because Im moving to a house w/ a smaller garage and have to sell one of my toys.”
(12/11/09) “Aftermarket Fiberglass Hood For Early Willys CJ2A or CJ3A. It would be fine for a M-38 also. Heavy duty late 60’s – early 70’s era manufacturing. Good condition, ready to paint and install. Put an end to rust problems with this fiberglass hood. $150.00. Too much? Please make an offer.”
Here’s a good price on a complete body kit, even if it does need some repairs. I don’t think the Bobcat bodies are as old as 1958, though I don’t know the initial date of production. I don’t recognize the style of taillights.
“Old Willys fiberglass body, hood, fenders, and grill can be yours right now! Approx 1958 is the model year. This is a “bobcat” fiberglass set, needs just a little work. This project can be yours for 300 or best offer!”
