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 .

“new omix ada jeep tubs. $1700 each. also have fenders and hoods and grills. no texts or email.”
This might be worth a look. Its not clear if the seller is selling both or not. Perhaps it is $2000/ per tub?
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/671241510341837/
“Willys Jeep tub – exact reproduction – primed – price is firm”
Not a bad price for an unused racing shell.

“Willys flathood fiberglass body $600 obo”
Now sure how much value is here.

“Couple sets of fenders, hood, grill, window frame. Call for details. Phone call only.”
It doesn’t look to be a 1958 body based on the grille and the took box; looks more like a 2A or 3A body.
https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/pts/d/mesa-willys-jeep-body/7120475660.html
“1958 Willys jeep body. Hood,fenders,grill, and tub.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(12/06/2019) This is an “Ever-Built” stainless body kit from the mid-1990s.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/428110881474466/
“For sale a complete Ever-Built Metal Manufacturing, (Sheehan Inc, sheehan.com.ph), stainless steel flat fender “Jeepney” body and frame kit. This kit was imported from the Philippines in late 1995 and was never assembled. The kit includes:
The hand fabricated main body tub, which utilizes stainless steel for visible sheet metal and galvanized for floor and firewall.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
Looks repairable.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900.
“Willys MB Jeep Body (Tub) – Used take off part from a World War II jeep. The body has some damage, but much of it is still restorable. Come and see it for yourself.”
Not sure if the tubs are $300/per tub?
https://albuquerque.craigslist.org/pts/d/isleta-cj2a-jeep-bodys/7105036010.html
“I have 3 jeep tubs for CJ2A jeeps, some fenders, hoods, windshields, and many other parts, vintage jeeps only”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
Obviously, the windshield is from an M-38 or a reproduction.
“These are leftover parts from a restoration project I completed. The body is a CJ2A (the tail gate deleted). It’s in overall fair condition, and is still sound with mostly surface rust. However some “Bondo body work” was done to it and it’s quite thick in some places.
The hood is still in great shape with only a light layer of Bondo on top. It does have the traditional Willys script on it, and will fit most flat fender era Jeeps.
The fenders are CJ2A style, but should fit most flat fender era jeeps. They are also in good condition with little to no Bondo.
The windshield is in the best condition, with no Bondo, and the, presumably, original glass. It’s most likely an M38 windshield, but would fit any of the flat fender jeeps.
I was going to build another jeep, but as it turns out I’ve gotten too busy and it’s time to clean up the drive way. Sold as a bundle deal.”
This mostly appears to be a 2A body, but it also has a well for an MB/GPW style tank and it lacks a fuel inlet hole on the driver’s side. It may actually be a reproduction body of some kind.
https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/pts/d/vancouver-1946-or-newer-old-jeep-body/7111957006.html
“About 1946 or 47 Willys JEEP body. Windshield, the Tub with tool box under passenger seat, Tail Gate, Hood, war 2 Grill. There is a little rust that on tail gate that is repairable. It has been inside my heated shop for over 3 years. I sold the 2 flat finders to a another person 3 years ago. You will have to come and see it to be-leave it. Please call, come and see, it should be listed for $2000.00 but I just wont it gone so $1200.00 should by a good number.”
Hank’s got these two items for sale. Contact him at ehr21755 @ yahoo.com (remove the spaces around the @). If you send an email and don’t receive one back in a day or so, let me know. He had a problem seeing emails I sent, but we’ve got that straightened out.
“Cleaning house and like to sale these two items. Fiberglass body $300 with fenders. I do not want to ship but maybe we can work out a deal.”
The cab will come off the body or they can have that too. $250 for the cab.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700.
As the seller notes, it will need some work.
“Hey guys , I’m selling this Willys cj2a tub , fenders , grill , hood and later willys windshield frame. Tub needs work but definitely can be saved.I have a front floor cowl section to fix the cutout. The only reason I’m selling is , I found a better tub for my project. 700 b/o”
Seller also has other body parts for sale. I believe the price is for both?
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/653669542109306/
“Two, Willys tubs, not in the best shape but someone with the tools and time could restore them. The green one is a 3a and the tan one is a 2a. $800 obo, Also have other body parts if interested at additional cost”
Looks like a complete body kit (seller doesn’t mention the hood, but it is there in two pics, so it may be included).
https://columbus.craigslist.org/pts/d/kingsville-willys-mb-reproduction-steel/7081187679.html
“Brand new reproduction body. Bought new for a project and decided to go another direction with our build. Includes new tub, windshield frame, grille shell, two new front fenders, spare tire mount and rear bumperetts. Cost us 3500 a few years ago asking 3000 but will entertain reasonable offers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
As the seller notes, it’s rough.
“Body tub off of a 1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep. This particular Jeep was a “lefty” which was only made for a short time. The spare tire is on the drivers side and the top bow holders are on the passenger side. However that is the only difference and this body will fit any year CJ2A. It is in rough shape but a good starting point if you don’t have one or if you are looking to customize one. Pictures reflect condition. Asking $400 obo. Would also consider trading for other early Jeep parts.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.
(07/15/2019) Maybe someone can use these?
“This is a collection of N.O.S. Willys body parts gathered over a 30 year period. It has a full set of floor pans, all four quarters including attached wheel housings in rear. It has a new toolbox with lid, and the rear floor pan has the cross member factory attached. I am also including in the sale, a donor Jeep with a straight clean frame and most parts needed to build a show quality restoration. The Jeep can be seen by appointment 10 miles east of Hershey, PA. Please email me if interested and thanks for looking.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(01/12/2020) Jim spotted this partially rebuild tub.
https://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/pts/d/denton-1958-willys-cj3b-jeep-body-tub/7053857591.html
“Partially restored 1958 Willys CJ3B tub.
Most of the rigorous work has already been done. There is still some metal work left, but 95% rust free at this point, and that’s before blasting! A ton of work has gone into this project so far and picking it up from this point should go smoothly in the right hands. It’s in great shape, no major issues that can’t be repaired easily. Please contact me if interested. Thanks for looking! I could potentially trade for other willys Jeep parts and attachments. Looking for: warn overdrive, Koenig PTO or crankshaft winch, military soft top and bows, Koenig hard top and doors, PTO gearbox, overdrive/PTO adapter, seat frames and cushions. If you have willys parts, let’s deal!”
Given we can see the cement floor through the gas inlet, I’d say this may need some floor work.

“Tub, front fenders, windshield”
UPDATE: **Sold** Was $600.
(10/03/2019) Looks like there’s value here.
“Complete 1947 Willy CJ2A body…Tub, fenders, hood, grill, tailgate…Needs tin work, far from perfect, but a good solid start….$600. for everything…or swap for MB/GPW parts.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/16/2019) This body has had lots of work done to it.
https://lakecharles.craigslist.org/pts/d/sulphur-cj2a-willys-body-for-sale/7049702426.html
“During a frame off restoration we realized the body we have does not match the frame. The body (tub, fenders, hood, front and rear bumper) is for a ’48 vintage CJ-2A. Fenders and hood are in excellent shape. Hood has a customized box that was installed to accommodate the non-stock (for the body) engine. Tub is in average condition. Body mount channels on the bottom have some wastage and will need to be replaced. The storage bin under the passenger seat is missing. Otherwise, repairs have been made to previous wastage. We need to make room for the new body.
Entire body was on an operational chassis and was driven. As-is, it is functional. Restoration will require attention in the above areas.
I also have the front grill and windshield. Am not sure if I’m going to repurpose those but if not, they will be included with this body.”
It’s been cut up, but it would still make a fine race or offroad body. Fiberglass shells are often used for race jeeps around the PNW.

“Fiberglass Willys tub has brake master cylinder petals and steering column was going to use this and make a rat rod jeep but I Lost interest in it so this one needs to go”
