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 .
Will asked if I’d scan this brochure for him. In a post a couple days ago I thought the Bonanza III hardtop had wide glass pieces where the brown indents are, but it turns out those are just indents with dark brown simulated walnut stickers. This also shows that Kelly made Jeepster Commando and Bronco hardtops.
Back in the late 1970’s, I had a Kelly full length cab I sold to a couple of guys from Asbury Park NJ. They drove up in their CJ5 and we lifted the top on to the Jeep. They drove home that way down the Garden State Parkway with the top un-secured, just holding on with one hand each. I guess they made it home, those were the days, fun days of great adventure.
I have a 1972 Cj5 with a Bonanza III top. I would like to replace the headliner that is ripped and falling down. Any suggestions what to replace it with? Ideas on how to remove the buttons holding the old headliner?
Hi Kelly,
These are pretty rare tops at this point. I have build instructions for some Koenig hardtops posted, but not for Kelly tops. If you haven’t, and given how these were primarily built for CJ-5s, I’d create a post over at the earlyCJ5.com and see if someone can help you there: http://www.earlycj5.com/xf_cj5/index.php
Sorry I can’t be more help!
