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 $6500
(02/09/2017) Just how many of these custom hardtop flatties are there?
“Willys CJ2 like you have never seen before. Has mid 1940s Chevy cab grafted by a coachworks company to a CJ frame. 4 wheel drive 3 speed manual. This has just been gone through mechanically and has been painted OD Green bedliner after being taken down to bare metal. 31″ tires. A fun vehicle for hunters or campers. Can tow behind vehicle.”
Just because it’s different doesn’t mean it’s good. The Jeep has square lines. The round top looks out of place.
Looks like a decent job at least. Most are real hack jobs. I should show you guys a picture of one i have.
I like it, I’ve seen a lot of these, must have been popular at one time.
I’ve never run across an article touting them, but many are so similar it’s as if they were built based on some common reference.
I’ve always thought about collecting home made stuff like this…it’d be cheaper and cool
Looks like “Matr’s “Git’r done! Nuncle!
Oh my favorite is still for sale. Back in the 1960’s Garfield, NJ, there was one of these backyard body work conversions on an old CJ2A using a roof top section and doors from a late 1930’s Pontiac sedan, (Dick Tracy style) Sold a number of times, last I saw it was at a big body shop off the Parkway in South Jersey about 1990. Painted yellow, looked very cool, even as a kid, I admired the creative talent.
These were fairly prevalent in Montana once upon a time. I wonder if there was some kind of Popular Mechanics article or something similar that would have suggested it. This one looks well done. This cab would make these a lot more comfortable in the cold six months of the year if it was your daily machine.
I like it.
Lew, I too have wondered if there was some kind of “how-to” article going around that mentioned how to do this. I am surprised at the number of these mods that I have seen. I keep looking in old Pop Sci and Pop Mech for them.

I believe it would be better if they had used a CJ3B. That would have matched the cab cowling much better. Then I would think it would look much better.
