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. This could be a neat find if NOS.
“This is a brand new, freshly opened, original hard top for a M38-A1Willys Jeep. This is not an after market product or reproduction, it is an original. This hidden treasure has not seen the sunlight since 1954 when it was made.”

This is a hardtop for an M38A1, you can see how the front edge of the doors (by the window) angle to match the slope of the windshield. While the top and side panels are formed from aluminum the doors are wood and often warped.

Thanks Shane. I’ve updated the post.
Price went up from 700 to 1000… ok sketchy
Did these have lifting back hatches? Since the m38a1 doesnt have a tailgate would it open in the rear?
Jeff,
The reality is there’s no comparable out there (that I know of except for used tops), so $700 was probably a starting guess. Maybe the seller talked to someone and realized that it might be with more. I’d say $1000 is a better starting point if the top is in the shape advertised. If someone is restoring an M-38A1 and wants a perfect top for it, this might be a hard item to pass up (it is the only one I know of). I can respect that the seller deleted the old ad, raised the price, then published a new one.
