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 .
This has a fiberglass Bobcat hood, along with various mods.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350. This was listed in Loganville, GA, in January of 2024. The price is dropped and is now for sale in Batesville, MS. It looks like the 305 engine was removed, hence the lower price. Thanks to Brad for updating us.
This body appears to be a Parkette style body (with the site swooshes) with a Bobcat type hood, but assembled together as a single drag-like body.
“Has a Ford 9” rear end on it. Pretty heavy so good scrap. I do have a forklift to load on trailer.”

(03/05/2024) The seller is correct; this is a classic PNW build, with the Desert Dogs, a V6, the diamond plate corners, the diamond plate side pieces, the Bobcat Hood, along with other updates.

“The time has come for me to sell my 1946 CJ2(ish) little beast. It’s sporting a Buick 198 fireball, t90, bobcat hood, Cadillac telescopic column, rather beat up 64 corvette seats, full set of Desert Dogs, ect ect. The top is pretty beat up but keeps the weather out about as well as you could hope. All and all a great example of a classic PNW jeep. It runs and drives but could certainly use a tune up as I’ve not been driving it much at all (hence the sale) Mainly looking for cash but could be open to trades for a newer jeep that would be more daily driver friendly”
This looks to be a custom build with a replacement body (2A ignition holes + military dash jockey box). This also has a Bobcat hood.

This has some updates including a fiberglass Bobcat hood. Appears worth a look. (Restored to military livery? …. ) … Engine will need work.
“1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep for sale! restored to WWII military livery. Post-WWII, the simple yet iconic all-wheel drive GP, or General Purpose Vehicle, remained in production by Willys with the model designation CJ2A. This Willys has it all. Roll cage, electric wipers, new top, great tires/rims and more custom items. Very clean for a post war vehicle. This is a surviver to the fullest ready for the next adventure. There are some engine issues which are stated below. Hate to sell it but have many vehicles in my collection and this one is going to a new home. The Willys is located in Valley Center at my other mechanics house and he will be fielding all the inquiries and has all the knowledge to show it. He’s a great friend and master mechanic. Here are the details:
Body and undercarriage restoration, very clean. Replacement early 50’s willy’s engine. Lifted and new tires. Three speed. New interior and top, with optional bikini top and car cover. Seat belts and parking brake added.
Clean california registration.
Vintage 1946 plates, approved through CA DMV with 2024 tags. Odometer says 54,000 but there is many more miles on this 50’s motor. Has only 500 after it was all restored.
Here are the issues: The engine threw a rod and my mechanic James from James Automotive down in Barrio Logan inspected and here is his diagnosis.
It’s a F Head jeep engine from the early/mid ‘50’s.
Combines a flat head with an overhead valve.
The piston in the front cylinder basically disintegrated for some reason. Connecting rod as well. And badly damaged that cylinder.
To fix you need to take engine out. Disassemble it. Rebore the cylinder. Put a new sleeve in that cylinder. Replace the oil pump, which could have caused all of this. New gaskets and seals.
Then put it all back together and back into the Willys.”
This drag jeep has a fiberglass Bobcat body.

I am willing to negotiate price. I am also willing to do a partial trade.”
That looks to be a 1970s Bobcat body with the passenger filler indent along the side.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $9500.
I believe this is Al’s CJ-3B. If so, the Bobcat hood is one he made from the Bobcat/Parkette molds we owned together. He was a straight shooter in all my dealings with him.

“Sierra Classics Imports is proud to present this exceptionally mean 1942 Willys. The off-road machine is finished in a nice red paint with chrome diamond plating covering much of the car. The 283 cubic inch motor came from a 1961 Corvette and sounds loud and mean with the power to back it up. The 283 is linked up with a 4 speed manual transmission with Worn overdrive. The car has 11 inch drum brakes all the way around stopping 10×15 inch wheels and 33 inch tires. The Willys also has tilt steering as well as a full top a new radiator and a new water pump. This is an excellent Willys and would be a hard charging fun toy for anyone who wants to go off road with some oomf. Give us a call if you have any questions!”
