UPDATE: Thanks for everyone’s quick input, we’ve solved this mystery. This particular grille is a 1969-1971 grille (see more in the comments).

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 .

I wonder if they were cut out to put wiring or hydraulic hoses thru grill?
My stock 1970 CJ5 grill has the same tear drop parking light / turn signal holes, its because of how the wire harness exits the back of the large light housing. I suspect the Jeepster Commando (1970-1971) with the large parking light / turn signal housings have the same shape grill holes, (used the same light). The grill pictured looks like it has the mounting for the Dauntless V6 radiator and I see the same stock fresh air / heater air scoop also, just like my 1970 CJ5 grill.
Will, that makes sense. I have several CJ-5 grills with the large lights, but have never remove the lamps. I will have to check.
maybe those are teardrops under the jeep eyes ? — still sad from the american motor takeover ??
This is the shape for the 3-screw T/S lamps 1969 – mid ’76. This particular grill would be 69 – 71 as evidenced by the air scoop for the heater intake in the dr side of the grille. The offset is where the bulb socket and pigtail were located.
Thanks everyone. I’m not sure how I’ve not seen one of these grilles.
