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 .
The body has been lengthened. Not sure how much value is here. Thanks to TJ for sharing.

“I’m parting out my project. I lengthened the tub about 3″ at the door frame. This tub is actually kinda rare. It’s civilian but has the shovel and axe dents in the drivers side and a few other unique things. I have other parts on it for sale also. Not a lot of original parts though.”
UPDATE: Still Available. Here’s some additional information on the lengths of the jeep and trail.
Jeep is 18′
Trailer is 14′
Plus 5′ for the trailer tongue.
Grand total of 37′ long
(07/18/2024) Scott’s selling this unique combo nicknamed “Long Jeep”. The CJ-5 is stretched and includes a trailer for ferrying additional people. Email Scott at scottingrum @ reagan.com (remove spaces around the @) or via his cell at 217 712 0097
“Operation Long Jeep is for sale. It is a 1958 CJ5 stretched with matching Jeep-themed trailer for moving people. The 4 cyl F head runs great. The 4WD works great and there are dual rear wheels. It includes a the framing to install a canvas top on the jeep, but no canvas top is included.”
This doesn’t run at the moment. It seems worth a look. Thanks to Blaine for spotting it.

Blaine spotted this unusual 4-door Jeepster on an F-350 chassis.

“1950 Willie’s jeep. Set on a 2000 f350 frame with the 7.3 diesel motor and 6 speed manual transmission. Runs.”
The pics are pretty small, so hard to tell much. I’m guessing this was not an original CJ-2L.

UPDATE: Originally published February 17, 2015, it now looks like these vehicles are no longer produced. Jim notes that Fermel is no longer in business.
After publishing the post about the Union Mine Jeeps, Marc found a website that features new ones. A South African company called Fermel makes four different utility vehicles. The webpage for each jeep includes a video of each respective jeep.

Not sure about the price on this one, but it is unusual in that it has been widened and lengthened. It is unclear to me what axles this uses.

“1943 Ford BB GPW JEEP. Clear GPW title but I call it the BB for big boy. It is about ten inches wider and about two feet longer then the normal WWII Jeep. For anyone larger that can not fit into a normal WWII jeep, this should fit you like a glove and is for you. Or for other person this has plenty of steering wheel and leg room. It has power steering, power brakes with a four cylinder fuel injected engine with the five speed manual trans.
This bad boy head turner has done 70 mph plus down the highway (speed limit) with more to go, and it rides and handles like a dream. In honor of our military persons and to help make them feel proud as they should, I have had many of our USA Veteran’s (past and present) sign the jeep in there honor.
This is a one of a kind proto type WWII Jeep and I dont think there is another like it in the world. I can work with you to have it shipped, or you can come pick it up and drive it home to any of the 49 states or where you can get to by land. The right top fender has a floor jack and tools that looks like a machine gun”
UPDATE: Some additional pics added.
This chassis appears to have front frame horns and may have a CJ-2A transmission crossmember side-frame-mount setup. Given it’s been lengthened and located in the Spokane area, I’d bet this is a lengthened CJ-2A chassis (or CJ-2L as we’ve come to call them).

Here’s something a little different.
” Willys jeep made into a crewcab truck. 84 ford running gear. 3/4 8lug ,460 V8 and 4 speed trans. powersteering, power brakes. heat and A/C. setup to tow my Dump Trailler . new tires. I recently acquired this and thought it would be perfect ranch truck for me. I’ts too tall for me to get in and out . In my eightys and my little wife no way can get in. It is roomy inside. I have a 47 jeepster and 47 wagon and I do like willys. . I’ve run add on about 10 vehicles and whatever sells …lIf truelly interested best to call my cell for details. 8 miles from Lincoln ranch has locked gates. in my name as 51 willys.”
This looks to be one of the CJ-2As lengthened out of the Spokane area. This was listed a few days ago on Craigslist (I think for $1800, but I can’t remember exactly). It lacked an engine.
“I have this very rare Willys CJ6 from 1946
Its a project car and the last guy lost interest.
What you see is what you get, engine missing!”
This undated Siebert Willys Ambulance brochure was probably produced in 1954-or 1955, based on the grille design on page 4. There is no form number on it. Within the brochure the company describes three different ambulance options.
Derek provides more information on the Siebert Ambulances and has additional pics on the CJ-3B page.
UPDATE: Still Available.

“1946 willy’s Jeep project. Running gear is a 2004 Jeep Wrangler, with the 2.5 4 cylinder fi motor, 5 speed transmission.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $19,990.
(12/11/2020) This is certainly unusual build.
“f Jeep would have started building these in the 70s, they would have never had financial issues. Look at this rare piece.The Jeep was built using all CJ5 parts. The front door is modeled off of a CJ7. The rear door is modeled off of a CJ5.
The bed is extended to the length of a CJ6 or CJ8 Scrambler. The frame is stretched 36 inches in the middle and 14 inches behind the rear axle. The frame was boxed from the front to the rear spring perches. It has Dana 30 and Dana 44 axles (both are open diffs). The transfer case is a Dana 20. The transmission is a 3 speed. I believe it is a T150.
The engine is an AMC 360 from a 1972 Wagoneer. It was rebuilt about 20,000 miles ago. It was bored over. The crank was turned. It got all new bearings, new pistons, new valve guides, and hardened seats. It has an RV cam, an Edelbrock SP2P low rise dual plane intake, and a Holley Street Avenger 570cfm double pumper carb. Skip White electronic ignition/distributor. Warn 8274 Winch. Heavy duty steel front fenders. (Matching Rescue Green CJ5 OEM fenders also included.) Rear corner guards. The motor has more than enough power for a vehicle this size.
Lots of custom stuff here.

“Need a part for your WILLYS JEEP? I have anything and everything (Mechanical [Non-Electrical]) you can think of!
The parts I have are for a Willy’s GPW L134!
(1941-1945) are the years the Willy’s GWP (GO DEVIL) were manufactured! This is a very light weight and capable 1/2 ton vehicle used in WW2. Because these parts were manufactured from 1941-1945 they are very good quality.
Some parts are quite rusty due to being left outside but most were in a basement located near Seattle, WA and are brand new…. as in fresh out of their boxes!
I have loads of bearings and gears! 5 transmissions, 2 engine blocks, 2 transfer cases, 2 bell housings, 3 cylinder heads, 3 oil pans, 3 fly wheels, 1 crank shaft, 1 camshaft, 1 starter, 2 front axles, 1 rear axle, 6 pistons and so much more!!!!! MESSAGE ME!!!!”

UPDATE: Ray reported the following about this jeep: I spoke to the seller at length, and this was stretched on a military base and used as a tow vehicle. Its nice, has a lot of extra parts that go with it. Known problems – brakes need gone over, been driving on the farm with no brakes. Motor has a rod knock, sounds like lower engine problem. Rod, the seller, was very forthcoming and seemed very straight forward about it. They got new farm equipment so he wont be using the jeep on the farm any longer.
This 2A has been lengthened to 88″ and the gas tank is in the back. I’d really like to examine the frame. The lack of drain holes and fuel inlet on the driver’s side suggests there’s been at least some body work to this. As far as I know, there’s no documented prototype by Willys-Overland featuring a lengthened 2A, making this most likely some type of custom build. This does not look as stretched as the “CJ-2L”s that we’ve seen in the past, most (all?) of which were on the west coast.
