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 .

(08/07/2010) Actually, not a bad price.
“2 Door, Convertible, 4 Wheel Drive, Manual Transmission, Alloy Wheels, New Tires, Removable Top, Bucket Seats, Leather Seats, Power Steering”
I can’t tell if the price is for the pair or for each one.
“Stainless willys jeep fenders never been mounted for 3a,2a,3b will be at portland swapmeet on fri – sun 400 OBO.”
No pics provided. This is a real steal, if it is the real deal!
“Complete stainless 3 a body kit tub fenders grill hood windshield frame seats rollbar tailgate all latched and locks gas tank safari rack bumpers will trade for trail bike or quad 2800 cash obo.”
Mark has 2 Stainless Kits still available at $5000 or both for $8000, which readers have likely seen listed previously.
However, this time I got curious, so I did some math. I went to 4WD.com and priced out the cost of buying steel versions of the same parts, just to see a price comparison. Here is the result:
$3400 for non willys stamped CJ-3A tub (includes fenders, body , tailgate, windshield frame)
$361 hood
$246 grille
$150 roll bar
$213 seat frame
$213 seat frame
$300 bumpers
$700 White Vinyl Top
$5583 total
Not included in that total are other parts that are included in the stainless kit:
$? Frame
$? Grab bars
$? Other parts
So, $5000 is looking like a pretty good price for all those parts, especially given they are stainless steel. To see how they look together, you can see 1 of several stainless jeeps Mark assembled below.
“For sale is a COMPLETE stainless steel cj2a jeep kit MINUS DRIVETRAIN. These kits were imported in from the Phillipines years ago, I have built 5 of them and lost interest in the last 3 so instead of them sitting in the corner of my garage for another 10 yrs I have decided to sell them. I sold one last year and now have 2 left.
The kit includes: mild steel frame, stainless tub, grill, fenders, hood, tailgate, windshield frame, seat frames, rollbar, grab bars, and TONS of other stainless accessories. the top is white vinyl.
Asking $5,000 CASH each, I will not ship but am willing to crate and help load when picked-up or if buyer arranges all the shipping details i will help load. Attached is a older pic, I can email more (having problem uploading them). Please feel free to PM or call with any questions, Mark 248-818-8560 Located in Oakland County, MI”

I spent a little time going through the IMCDB website to see how correct some of the jeep identifications were. As I was going through the different jeeps, I spotted this stainless steel flattie, something I’ve never seen in a movie. I have also never heard of the Movie “Laure”.
Following the stainless bodies last night, I figured I’d head to the Phillipines and find some non Jeepney, but equally interesting, flatties. I didn’t have to search too hard for a good forum thread on what I’d call “low rider flatties”. You can see the beginning of the thread here: tsikot.com or click on the pictures to get to the relevant page of the thread.
I wandered across this swiss website today (.ch — though the seller is in Mulheim, Germany). Apparently, it is a reseller of stainless steal bodies. The site has a variety of images, which I suspect were taken in the Phillipines. It looks like these bodies are built in someone’s backyard. Anyway, I thought the pics were interesting, so here they are. For 3500 Euros, you can get a complete setup for your Jeep.

(03/10/2010) “This rare find — a completely handmade, completely stainless steel Jeep — was commissioned in the Philippines in 1981 and custom built by then-President Ferdinand Marcos. It was later purchased by a well-known national television news correspondent, who then had this one of a kind Jeep shipped back to Los Angeles. It has never been driven. With less than 10 miles on the odometer, this classic style “Eisenhower” Jeep is a vintage car collector’s dream. The exterior is like new; it’s been protected in a fully-covered, temperature-controlled garage since its trip to the United States. To our knowledge this is the only Jeep of its kind in the U.S. The brushed-exterior is in supreme condition. The engine is a rebuilt 1953 Willy’s V-8 that needs only minor service. Complete vehicle sold as is.”

It’s unclear exactly what the foundation for this jeep is, but the body is definitely stainless. The soft top is unusual too; note the buttons up the side.

“This is a very rare WWII 1947 Willys. I put jeep in the title for locating purposes only. IT IS NOT A JEEP MANUFACTURED VEHICLE. It is a 1947 WWII willys, with original engine and drivetrain. The body was hand built by skilled craftsmen in 1974 in the philippine islands. It has a complete stainless steel body. The engine was rebuilt about 3-4 years ago by an ASE certified mechanic. It runs and drives like new and has no problems that I am aware of. It has been used mostly in shrine parades and ridding the grandchildren around on the farm. It has been stored in a climate controlled shop most of its life. It naturally has no rust anywhere on it. The tires are very old and do have signs of dry rot, but have excellent tread and if not going on a long trip, should be fine for several more years. I have heard that several were built in the 70’s, but I wouldn’t think that very many are still around. The vehicle comes with a full enclosure and as far as I can tell all the snaps and attachments are in good working order. The vehicle has never been wrecked or disassembled whatsoever. The miles showing on the speedometer are true and correct. There are no dents that I have seen at all. There are some very lite wear scratches in the stainless body from getting in and out or wiping dust off without the proper cloth. Again these are very lite and would probably not be noticed, but I did want to mention them.”
These are the first stainless 1/2 doors I’ve seen.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Johnny spotted this 5 gallon can and a 2.5 gallon can on Amazon.
Steve spotted this unique item. For reasons unclear, probably related to California statues, the seller cannot ship this to California.
