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.
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 .
It appears to have a replacement body.

“1942 Ford GPW. Fords version on Willys flat fender Jeep. All original running gear. Runs good. New carb and brake cylinders. Light bar and winch. Title in my name. I will keep the collector plate.”
How o you tell it is replacement body?
James,
Note the dash. It looks similar to an M-38 dash (glove box on the right and an insert in the middle for gauges). Now, note the lack of a battery box lid on the right side of a cowl. An M-38 body would have a lid there. This suggests to me that this is an aftermarket body.
When MD Juan first started making replacement bodies, they only had an M-38 with which to work. The bodies resembled M-38s at first (but lacking the battery box lid). Over the years, the company was able to afford to retool the body stamps so that replacement CJ-2A bodies looked more like 2A bodies, etc.
I hope that helps!
