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: Was $8500. **SOLD**

“Willys 1947 Civilian Jeep, rare 99% original, 39,000 miles, VIN# 152503, good box and tub, original top, red rims, military tires, gray body, options: hi-low plow, jump seat, original jack, grill cover, hitch. Very good original condition.”
Wow! This one look very original. I would take it like this. No need to restore it. It’s already a diamond for me. Wish I had money. Hope it will find a good home.
That must have been a pretty exciting barn find. I have never seen the extra canvas flap in back covering the tailgate. I assume to use with tailgate off.
I was thinking the same thing Pascal and Mark were, what a great crusty old jeep, and have never seen the tailgate flap either.
I think the “extra” flap is for the half cab canvas top configuration. There it would be between the wheel wells just behind the front seats (there are footman loops on the floor at that location for the straps). Someone with a full top probably knows for sure though.
Dan, I think you are right, just not sure how it got on to full top. Maybe jeep had a full and a half top at one time, or just was a replacement for original rear flap.
DanB is right. It’s a 7 piece top that converts to a half top. http://www.newlifecanvas.com/cj3a.html
