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 $5500. Note the suicide doors.
“1945 Jeep has iron duke 4 cly engine with overdrive. It has hardtop with suicide doors good tires and runs great. Has tilt telescoping wheel with newer power steering box. This is a great deal…..Drive it home today.”
I own this jeep now and it looks exactly the same now “2023” as it did in these photos! The Jeep went from Ca. to Nm. now it’s followed me to Ar. where I bought it, as I moved here from Ca. in 1981. I was doing some research on the hard top when I ran across this ad, weird! Still trying to find info on this hard top, any help would be appreciated.
Damon,
Thanks for the note. If you examine the back, it looks very similar to the Meyer (or Orville) hardtop for CJ-5s (see this rear photo http://www.ewillys.com/2021/03/26/the-meyer-hardtop-built-by-orroville/). The hinges, rear windows, gutter near the top, and height above gutter all looking Meyer-ish.
Also, note the slight overhang of the top in front of the windshield. This would be expected on a non-shortened Meyer top using a CJ-2A windshield.
Meanwhile the sides look customized, maybe through the use of custom doors or repurposed and modified Cab Enclosure doors (http://www.ewillys.com/?s=cab+enclosure).
That’s my best guess,
– Dave
Thank you very much! I appreciate your input here.
