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: **SOLD** Was $175 ( I have it thanks to Chuck!).
This Bobcat Fiberglass hood looks in good shape. If it were closer, I’d snag it.
“jeep willys CJ (2,3) fiberglass hood asking 175.00”
UPDATE: Seller is now advertising a 3A hood as well. Both were $350/each. The seller is currently not making hoods.
3A: looks a little like a cut down 3B hood, as it looks like there is the 3B horizontal bubble at the base of the hood where it meets the fender.

This has some unusual features. No shortage of dash switches. I can’t tell what’s painted on the hood. The hubs appear unusual.

(09/13/2013) Robin spotted this CJ-2A. I thought I’d seen another jeep with a similar box, but can’t locate it now.
“Nice old Jeep. Drive train solid, body needs work. Price is firm. Mostly original, only modifications are on the body. Can be seen only on weekends as I travel through out the week.”
This has lots of updates. The body is likely fiberglass.

(08/15/2012) Take a close look at the pics of this. It’s unusual. I like the body work on the hood which more tightly fits the old mb/gpw grille. It appears to be a CJ-3B body. I’ll bet completed this might look good.

Patrick recently purchased this flattie. It’s now road ready and a great deal of fun.
He writes, I have always had a passion for old military jeeps, even as a young kid. Can’t explain other than I think they are just cool. When I was 16, I lived in Iowa and purchased my first vehicle (I’m almost 50 now): a 1947 willys cj2a, that the previous owner had done some updating to with a 327 chevy Engine/headers/big tires. I bought it for a $1500 and thought it was THE coolest thing ever. Ever. I promptly spent the rest of my wealth (about $500) painting it. Bad ass brown.
I got about 500 miles of the hottest, ragin-est, death-defying days of my life racing and 4-wheeling that thing (invincible at 16, right?) before the natural laws of having to pay for and fix the things that gave out (plus I’m non mechanical) set in and I couldn’t afford to do that. And had to pay for it by selling it for $500 in non working order. That was 1980.
I’ve owned various newer jeeps (last was an 89 wrangler), and cars since then, but I always knew someday that I’d go back to my first love and fix one of these bad boys up hot rod style.
Last year was that year. In August, I stumbled onto eWillys from a random google search. It set off the bell in my head that it was possible to find and own one of these jeeps again, so after about a month of searching every day on your site, one struck my fancy and I set out to buy it.
The previous owners are a family of professional desert racing enthusiasts who had a family friend (also professional racer) that built this Jeep from the ground up as a labor of love in the late 90’s/early 2000 with the intention of using the best pieces/parts for desert 4-wheelin/rock climbing.
The friend had to sell, and sold to the family who basically have every toy under the sun (it was being stored in an airport hangar),
never used, and they finally decided to sell just to make room for something else They decided to sell as a whole because they wanted to pass it on to someone who would love it as much as their friend had before he had to sell.
For whatever reason, I was in the right place at the right time and purchased this vehicle on the spot for cash.
Because it was setup for off-roading, I’ve spent the better part of 7 months and $$$ to get the thing street worthy and safe enough to drive on the freeway. Now it stops like a normal car (Hydroboost!).
The particulars:
REGISTERED AS 1957 CJ5, COLOR IS CHAMPAGNE BEIGE 1996 TOYOTA CAMRY With 2-tone brown highlights. Funny, I don’t know why it’s registered as 1957.

(4) 35X12.50R-15LT, Baja Claw TTC Mickey Thompson Radials 2012
New Windshield rear view mirror, 2012
The engine is a horse, but required a bit of transformation from an initial fuel injected system (variable H.P.up to 500 H.P. but didn’t idle at low rpm’s so well with the big cam and hard on transmission) to a traditional carb system. Some $$$ went into this process (pumps/distributor/wiring/tuning etc.).
2 different shops have worked on it and contributed to the point that it is now, which is, happily, fully operational and most awesome.
I have had it out of the shop for 2 weeks now and have already been able to enjoy this thing immeasurably. I envision having it the rest of my life.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.
(01/30/2011) I thought this hood solution was an unusual way to deal with the longer frame. I’m wondering if the frame is from a CJ-6?
“Selling my 1964 Jeep Willy X Flat Fender CJ-3A that has a new 390 V8 Offenhauser Engine. The engine has about 15,000 miles on it. It is a beast of an engine. You may want this jeep just for the Engine and parts to put into something you’re working on. this engine would be great for any hot rod or racing vehicle. The jeep is in great running condition and has alot of power. A great off road vehicle. It also looks really cool and has custom body work. I bought this jeep with the intent of driving it and fixing it up, but i haven’t had the money to do alot, i’ve done a few things, but it’s time to get something different to drive. I don’t want to put any more money into this jeep and second I need to get a different car. I have a family now and need something with doors lol. This jeep has power steering, tilt wheel, new dash with new dials, 3-speed transmission, locking hubs, nice rims with Pirelli tires. I’m asking for $2700 or best offer. I am also willing to take a vehicle trade. If you have something, show me and we’ll go from there. Cash is preferred though. Available to see anytime. Msg me for more info. Will answer back immediately.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
This has a rare Bobcat CJ-3B Hood.
“The Jeep is a 1949 Willys on a custom 2×6 frame

And this is a crawler! And I dont have a top or doors for it only a weathered bikini top”
oooh … the fiberglass hood shown is the same one I had on my first jeep. There have been only a few made.
“i got a fiberglass jeep tub, fenders, 2 hoods, 2 grills, a wind shield frame with cracked glass, and a cage. i stll have a rolling chassis but in rough shape and going to take to scrap if not interested.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4250.
This looks like it’s pretty hardy. I’ve never seen vents like those in the hood.
“For sale is my jeep 1947 CJ2A that have been modified. It has a 6 in Black Diamond lift on 33″ Pro Comp tires. It has a Buick 350 with matching transmission. Comes with a 9000 Warn winch. It has Dana 60 axels. Rancho shocks. This will make a great hunting vehicle.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $1600
(11/03/2010) This sports a fiberglass body and an unusual (probably fiberglass) hood. I’m not sure what the axles are from.
“For sale is a 1946 Willys MB customized jeep . Jeep has a built 283 smallblock installed , lift kit with 33’s, power steering, power brakes and hydraulic clutch.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
(08/14/2010) Check out the hood. I believe that isn’t a custom creation. I have seen 3 different kind of louvered hoods over the years. 2 had the louvres on top and one on the side.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
Here’s an aluminum flattie body on a modified Ford Bronco chassis. As I mentioned in a post last week, the vented hoods are very rare. I’m not sure if that’s aluminum or steel.
“Unique aluminum bodied CJ2 Jeep. This is a professionally built for off road, but very streetable CJ2. It is a real eye catcher. It features a highly modified 1974 Bronco chassis with 4 wheel disc brakes, dual master cylinders, urethane bushings, power steering, trans. cooler, power steering cooler, etc. It sits on, like new, 35X10X15 Goodyears. Power is supplied by a fresh 351w ford with edelbroch manifold and newly rebulit edelbrock 4 barrel, connected to a modified c-4 trans.and headers. It is an older construction, but is done right! I prefer cash, but will consider a trade for a nice cj or wrangler or ? and cash. ”
