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 $450. Sears or Allstate hardtop.
(10/02/2016) Seller thinks this fits a CJ-5, but it looks like it’s on a flattie.
“Hard top for a jeep . It is aluminum and I believe it will fit a cj5 or cj7. It is a little to big for a willys Jeep but could be modified to fit one.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900.
Though no pics have been provided, I have added a brochure to show these were advertised for the CJ-2A at one point. Here is more info on these. I didn’t know it had supports to mount it in the rear.

Patrick spotted a photo of Grace Kelly on the front of a CJ-3A, which led me to find other photos. The photo shoot was part of a fundraiser for the Stevens School, the high school from which she graduated. Grace and the Jeep are in front of her childhood home. The photo was taken shortly after her sudden rise to fame in her first big movie role, High Noon with Gary Cooper. That set her on the path to fame and, several years later, to marrying Prince Rainier of Monaco.

“This is the PERFECT mail truck if you are a rural carrier for the USPS. No it doesn’t have power steering, but it is TOUGH and built to to the job (yes, 30 years ago, but you would be surprised how well it maintains it’s appropriate use!) I have recently changed the starter, it was making a funny sound when I turned it over, it cost $100 and three bolts later, it was changed. Didn’t even need to jack it up, you can crawl under it easily. You feel safe in this truck because it is recognizable as a Mail Truck.

“The truck is an early 1947-according to the VIN # this is the oldest surviving Willys 4×4 truck on the Willys forum. It is likely that there is an older survivor somewhere, but this is one of the first. The body is in exceptional shape for a vintage Willys truck. I’d ballpark estimate that 70-80% of these old Willys trucks have been so abused that they are frankly not worth restoring. This one is. When I acquired the truck a few years back, the PO had sanded and prepped the body for paint-then lost interest. so I sprayed it with two light coats of the original Michigan Yellow paint to protect it. there are a few small wrinkles and dings, and the bed floor has a few small holes, but there are no hidden surprises. The only bondo I saw was two (small) screw holes for a mirror on the passenger door and two teaspoon size repairs on the front fenders. The truck looks good in the pics, but needs a repairs including re-welding the hood supports before a final coat.
