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 $2000.
The body has been stretched in the middle.
“1946 WILLYS JEEP 4X4 WITH BRAND NEW MAXXIS BIG HORN 33 INCH TIRES WITH A NEW MOTOR 5.7 LITER ROLLCAGE BUILT AND ADDED TO JEEP BODY DOES NEED TRANSFERCASE…. HAS CLEAR TITLE SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY….”
Sarge Mark spotted a variety of stretched MBs/GPWs on a 2009 post from Jeep-jitsu. You can see all the photos here:
http://jeep-jitsu.blogspot.com/2009/12/blasts-from-past-pre-cj-6-jeeps.html
You can view other stretched jeeps that I have found for sale or around the web here, some in odd ways.
The seller notes this is one of a kind, despite not knowing what type of toy this is. This looks like a cross between a troop MB/GPW carrier and a CJ-3B. Anyone recognize it?

Glenn would like to learn more about this jeep. If anyone knows more about it or knows whose it is, can you let me know.
UPDATE: Price now $2800.
(07/11/2012) This is a CJ-2A body on some later model chassis (maybe CJ-5). The hood was lengthened, among other changes. The front fenders are unusual. This doesn’t run at the moment.
“I am selling a 1947 Jeep Willys. The Jeep was a gift for my graduation, but I just don’t have the time to put into restoring it. This Jeep is the civilian version of the exact vehicle used in WWII. The 1947 is harder to find than most CJ model Jeeps. The engine is a Chevy 305 V8 with an edelbrock carb. The transmission has been switched to automatic. There is surface rust on parts of the vehicle, but could be sanded out with a little work. The vehicle currently needs a battery and rear axle in order to run. I am including a recently purchased rear and front axle in this sale for no extra charge. The gauges and rear tail lights need re-wiring, but front lights and signals work just fine. This Jeep is a lot of fun on the beach and would be a great project for any classis car enthusiast. If you have any questions or would like to see the vehicle, please contact me by phone or email.
I’m looking for a fishing boat. I prefer center console, but would consider other options. The boat needs to be in good shape and include a trailer and motor. Email, call, or text if interested in trading. I do prefer pictures if available.
Thanks for looking. Cell – 336-214-7978”

UPDATE: ****SOLD**** Was on eBay. This might be the same as this one.
(06/17/2012) I’d like some better pics of this one. Pretty neat.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200
I can only hope that this formerly rare four door wagon was rusted beyond being savable, so was chopped down to a four door wagon. One can always hope, right? Never-the-less, the result is surely odd.
“1947 Jeep that was a 4 door has been shaved down to a 2 door single cab. 91 5.0 8 engine with 58,000 miles. Power steering, power brakes.F150 chassi and transmiission. Interior work needed. Runs great can drive away today. Email for more info. **Cash only when vehicle is seen/ picked up**”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350
(09/27/2011) That is a seriously stretched body.
“I have a complete brand new fiberglass willys jeep body. I had extra re-inforcement in key areas by a fiblerglass shop, and also had them stretch it to allow room for rear seats (I have kids) Anyways the project got scrapped for another. I have 3k into this body. It has been notched to allow a small block chevy to fit in the engine bay. Also had reinforcement but more for the looks the inside is fitted with aluminum diamond plate and the outter body has tread plate accents.”
UPDATE: This wagon was listed for auction on ebay in 2011, but didn’t sell. The other day Buz spotted the forum where the builder documented how he constructed it. It’s worth a look. The wagon isn’t currently for sale. The forum starts at page 7 of 7 then goes to page 1 and then forward (some system glitch at car domain).

This has plates, but it doesn’t have front running lights, so I’m not sure it is really street legal?

This sell has a variety of projects for sale. The tub is certainly unusual.
“1942 WWII JEEP FORD GPW
NUMBER 43875 ON DATA PLATES AND FRAME
NOT IN RUNNING CONDITION, HAS ENGINE, TRANS, T-CASE AXLES, ETC.
AT SOME TIME THIS JEEP AS BEEN STRETCHED ABOUT 13″ (BODY ONLY) SOME PEOPLE THINK IT WAS USED FOR AN AMBULANCE IN WWII OR TO TRANSPORT PILOTS TO THE FLIGHT LINE…. MAYBE JUST A FARMER USED IT TO HAUL HAY? HAS A HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HOOD
COMES WITH A BILL OF SALE”
This is interesting. This used to be an extended CJ-2A, but has been cut back down to a stock size. The rollcage is only $50, which is a great price.
“Flat fender jeep body. Has the general rust under the passenger seat and drivers side. It was a rare long bed that in the 50’s I road in. But between then and when I bought it someone cut it down to a regular CJ2A size. the cut is just stitiched and needs finishing. Overall its not a basket case but will be a good project. I also have a roll bar that is custom for a 2A for $50 that is sitting on it and a windshield that needs the inner piece and a new panel across the front for $50. There are side diamond plate for the foot rest and along the side for $50 and some other 2A and 3A parts. I also have a complete project jeep for $1300. Body needs some work but for its age is better than most. You buy the project I will throw in the body listed above for any part it may need. I have L head motors that will need rebuilding for $300.”
http://spokane.craigslist.org/pts/2563910741.html
This looks like a well built rig. If the body is stretched, it isn’t obvious. The front fenders and hood might have been stretched though.
“1957 jeep willys, 500 hp small block, stand alone fuel injection (fully tunable) Malote streched custom body, built c5 with lowered planetary gears, dana 300 low gear transfer case, dana 44 front and rear custom built with detroit lockers and 4.27 gears, cv driveshafts by tri county, disc brakes front and rear, custom paitnt, custom fuel cell, custom guages, this has been a complete build and is turn key ready to go play, need nothing othe that a new home, make offer or trade nine 0 nine 2six2 0706 call with cash text with trades”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300.
It looks like this was stretched some time ago based on the rust.
“For sale is a Jeep CJ2A body that has been stretched to fit on a CJ7, Wrangler or Chevy Blazer frame. Come with vin tag. $300”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This is a project.
“So Heres the deal I have this willys jeep project I started years ago. The tub is fiberglass, stretched 15inches by a fiberglass shop. I have a roll cage that was built by a offroad shop in utah. the whole thing is mounted on a chevy fram with skid plates for the engne tranny and fuel tank. There is a cage in the engine bay tied into the main cage. Was set up with a SBC 350…. I will sell the body for 1700 OBO I have over 3500 in it already, on top of the glass work and extension I had diamond plate kickguards with step reinforcements built as well as aluminum Tread plate on the inside and a tread plate top rail. Would take 2500 OBO for the chassis body and cage. The rear bumper has a built in reciever and swinging tire carrier the front bumper has build in winch mount.”
The body has been extended in the middle.
“Ford 302 engine runs good, running gear/4 wheel drive are working. Climbs and crawls like a goat with hiking boots. Needs brake cylinder at right front. It is currently registered and street legal. Remodeling the house and have no time or money for extra toys. Body is rough and many patches made to it…but hell it’s a jeep. $950 will take it. Will want to trailer it or drive it home in granny gear. Calling would be quickest way to reach me 530-258-1798. Rick”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
This is unusual. I’ve never seen a mod quite like this. I’s really like a closer look to see exactly how this was done.
“i have a willys jeep. im not sure the excact year. 6cly engine, 3 speed manual trans. needs alittle cosmetic work but for the most part its pretty solid. no title. no emails please.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
This looks like a great price and a fun restoration. It would be useful to see just how this was stretched. This could be a rare CJ-2L. This it the 5th one I have heard about or seen in the Pacific Northwest. You can see other stretched jeeps here. This looks like a good price. This almost looks like an old lefty, too.
“It’s all there but will need complete resto.Was stretched by a previous owner.Wheel studs are broken on front axle,so will not hold wheels. No title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $200.
Here’s an unusual CJ-5 body.
“Jeep CJ-5 body, Stretched 1 foot in the door. Floor and sides armored. Willy’s tail gate. Only $200 Or Best Offer.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500.
(07/15/2010) The seller doesn’t mention that this body has been stretched. I wonder if those are actually chrome headers rather than stainless headers.
“For Sale. 1948 Willys CJ2 with PTO. •1966 Buick 225 V6 – Runs good. •Stainless steel headers & exhaust system. •Oversize brakes. •Lock out hubs. •New master & clutch slave cylinder. •Valid clear title. •Missing data plate. •Needs to be rewired + minor mechanical.

I can’t remember where I ran across this photo, but I found it on my desktop waiting it’s turn to be shared with readers. I thought it was a great example of a stretched mb/gpw. I haven’t ordered the book yet, but you can find the book at Amazon here for $34.16.
