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 .
UPDATE: Still Available.
(01/09/2018) The price is $4000 for either one. No pics of the body provided (seller used 3B pics).
Bill spotted this one. Seller indicates it is aluminum, but to me it looks more like stainless and galvanized steel parts. I’d be the body is a little longer than standard, too. It includes a variety of other parts.
“Hi, I have an Aluminum Jeep Body the body and the frame are in good condition. Motor ran when I pulled it has been sitting out in the weather for a couple of years has been tarped only the past 2 years has it not been tarped. Some of the parts I think are rusted too use any more. Most of the ports in the motor have been taped over. I don’t know the year of this jeep body. No title. 2,500 O.B.O. Please do not email me. Feel free to call or text me with any questions and I will get back to you as soon as I can.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
(01/9/2018) If the sells for $5000, then it’s time to start producing more bodies! At that price, I would double check that a windshield will seal properly on the cowl.

Seller has three items for sale.
“I have a tub, rear floor panel and a bed extender including a Willy’s stamped original tailgate. These parts are all for a Willy’s Cj3a jeep. The tub is in rough shape but definitely fixable. The rear floor pan is brand new never installed. The bed extension box is rare and in good shape as is the tailgate. I also have the tool box cover that goes under the passenger seat that will go to whom ever buys the tub. The tub was sandblasted and primed at local body shop. The floor panel is brand new and came ready to paint. The bed extension and tailgate were sanded a bit and rattle can primed. I am asking $750 for the tub. $250 for the floor panel and $500 for the bed box with tailgate. This will be a cash only, in person, you pick up sale.”

I’m wondering if this is leftover stuff from Don Prine?

UPDATE: SOLD. Was $1000.
This ought to interest someone.
“Here’s the tub and front clip that I had planned to use to restore a 1947 CJ2A. I’ve had this on sale for about a year and I’d like to move it on.
Earlier this year my ad read: CJ2A body tub repaired with some alterations. Tail gate eliminated. Flat fender grill in good shape. Flat fender style hood in bar metal – straight but needs prep and paint. Good for custom build. $1,800 ($2.5K on eBay)
So at this point, I’m dropping my price to $1,000 (about 1/2 what I was asking) and if that’s too much for you, make an offer you’re comfortable with – no problem!
All of these parts are located in Winona, MN and are available for you to stop by and see about anytime.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
It’s not perfect, but maybe someone can use this.
“1947 Willys CJ2A body tub, front fenders, hood and grille for sale. All has ratty-looking flaking white/blue paint, bondo, old fiberglass, surface rust, etc. but has been repaired structurally to be usable, or suitable for more restoration.
Tub floor and hat channels have been replaced but the lower sides need attention unless you want to go the Rat Jeep route. Front fenders are a little rough, but repaired and usable until you find better ones. Hood has had a hole repaired and is also usable. Grille is in good condition, but headlight buckets are missing. Will throw in remains of a later tailgate to complete the ratty set. All pieces but tailgate have matching “patina” as noted.
Asking $600 for the lot, mainly because of the hours in the tub floor. Have a couple equally ratty matching windshield frames for extra $.”
Needs work.

63 Willy’s cj3b tub for sale”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
(03/30/2017) Interesting story. The 3B hood with the louvres is unusual.
“I purchased this to turn into my dream FrankenWillys, stretched to allow 3 rows of seats. When I called the Idaho DOT, everything went well until I said “stretch”. Apparently that makes it a new vehicle, that would need to meet current safety standards (airbags, etc.). So I set my dream aside and bought a CJ8 as a compromise. I need to get the CJ3 out of the garage, so I can get the CJ8 fixed up.
Most of the CJ3 B body has been sandblasted. If it is gray in the picture, it is likely sandblasted. The floor has rust, see pictures, but overall it is in good condition for an old Willys. Comes with Koenig steel top. The top comes with a set of full doors. There is also a set of half doors. There is a spare firewall to replace the original firewall that was cut out for a V8.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
Well this is interesting. That body might fit nicely on a post 1972 stock CJ-5 Frame.

No title tub for sale.

“I no longer need this tub, so needless to say, here it is for sale. It’s an original 1945 ACM2 tub, which was used on late 1944 through 1945 Ford GPWs and Willys MB WW2 Jeeps. And based on the drilled holes on the floor, this was used for a radio-equipped Jeep.
A previous owner had it sandblasted and it sat outside after that. The brown coating you see is surface rust. The body needs some repairs on the floor, but I have to say . . . it’s extremely straight! The reproduction footrests and shipping plate are not included. The tub is located in Lodi, CA. Local pickup is preferred.
Note: There is no title with this tub. It never came with one and rightfully so. At least in California, a VIN is based on a vehicle’s frame and this is obviously a tub.”
No pics of the chassis. The tub/fenders/hood are $800 together.

https://yakima.craigslist.org/pts/6123358257.html
Initially, I thought this was a whole jeep.

https://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/6115011808.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $450.
Parts will need work.
“these are leftovers from a project. The tub has an excellent rear floor and inner fenders. the front floor have been patched at some point and could be used as they are, but really need repaired. the rear corners are pretty beat up, and the rest of the tub is very solid.
the hood is dented and has had a hole cut in it probably for a larger engine at some point.
the grill is not too bad and would clean up easily
one fender is excellent and the other is really poor condition”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.
Needs work.
“Willys MB body tub, fair+ condition. Has rust around fuel tank well and on some cross members. Also evidence of filler and fiberglass in a few places. Included but not installed a new fuel tank well and Y channel for underbody.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
This hood has Don Prine’s business card within the resin.
“Never used but has garage wear and tear. This was probably made in the 70’s judging be the phone number on business card. Fiberglass jeep hood for WILLYS cj3b, or if you cut it down it’ll fit a cj3a or cj2a.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4999
(02/01/2017) Looks in good shape.
“Up for sale is what I believe to be a model year 1943 Willys MB jeep body. I took it apart about 30 years ago as it was on a GPW Ford frame. It is original and in excellent condition for a 70+ year old, mass produced combat vehicle for the government. These were never made to be like a Porsche and had dents and scratches on delivery. Please note there is a puncture hole above the airfilter mounting bracket at the transition to the cowl. It looks like a small forklift fork hit it, but I don’t know. The rear floor (cargo area) was replaced when I got it.
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $150.
The hood looks in good shape.
“Hood, Body Parts, ……..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
Rob’s got the fiberglass body and parts for sale. Looks like a good price.
“For Sale – Fiberglass CJ2A body including fiberglass fenders. Also included are metal hood (with a hole cut in it), metal fenders left and right, metal grille, metal windshield frame, and a metal dash.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $799.
(01/29/2017) Looks in good shape.
“I have an old Jeep Willys body for sale, don’t know much about it, it does have rust, figured it would make a cool rat rod like pictured or a great military looking re-build. Even perfect for a kids bed, many possibilities. No title,
Just is what you see in the pics, I have a friend that has a hood and grill that would probably work out depending on what your building. ”
