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: Still Available.
(09/26/2017) A factory bed conversion for a CJ-5? Anyone ever run across that? It’s listed as a 1952, but it has CJ-5 grille and body at the very least. Looks like a ventilating windshield, too (thanks Dave).

“1952 Jeep Willys
Factory flatbed conversion in 1957
Professionally refurbished engine
Runs good”
Venting windshield looks like.
Yep, sure does!
Am I supposed to believe this description? If so, it would probably be the rarest of rarest Jeeps out there. We have a lot of these special modifications around here made in individuals home factories. LOL…and they look even stranger.
Barry, I don’t know. But, it’s also not beyond the realm of possibility that some outfit somewhere offered a customization package like this. My guess is that this wasn’t factory, as we have no evidence that this package was ever offered. However, I also have no evidence that it wasn’t.
I’m thinking if I owned a rare factory conversion that I would document THAT part of the vehicle with pictures instead of the part of it that looks like all the rest of the vehicles on the assembly line…..just sayin’.
Roc, I wondered that, too.
I agree with Roc. There are so many stories out there about stuff like this.
I almost put 1 of my spare tire on the front of the bumper like his but it kinda look cartoonish atleast on my 3b so decided against it. For $4k, it looks like a nice jeep regardless if bed is factory or not.
So the seller says its a 1952 jeep and the conversion was done in 1957 , I guess it took the factory 5 years to do it ?
Terry. Better late than never? lol … That’s a fair point, though the seller seems incorrect about the manufacture date.
