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 .
Steve spotted this unusual item. I am unfamiliar with the block heaters. Is this a general item for a variety of engines (jeep and non jeep) or specific to the F-134s?
https://southjersey.craigslist.org/pts/d/clementon-willys-cj5-block-heater/7418486726.html
“Block heater that came out of a 1961 Willys CJ5 with the F134 Hurricane engine.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500.
This has an unusual dash paint scheme.
“This is a 1962 CJ6 Original Willy’s Rebuilt Engine & Transmission New windshield and Rubber New Tires New Brakes Shoes all Around and Brakes Lines and Hoses way too Much to List”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $10,500.
This custom build may have an aftermarket body.

“This 1946 willys cj2a jeep is in very good condition. The jeep runs is a real eye catcher. I bought it in great shape & added a lot more of new parts to it.”
The price has dropped on this 2A. At first, I thought the battery was located in the case attached to the PTO bar (looks similar to a plastic battery enclosure).

“I have a 1948 Willys jeep for sale. It runs and it drives. I have a clean title in hand. …. It is a four wheel drive Willys with a manual transmission.

It appears to be $600 for all. The white body looks to be a 3A. I can’t tell what the bottom body is. At least one frame is a 2A.

“Two jeep tubs and 3 frames. No titles. Year unknown.”
This may need the master cylinder fixed or replaced.

Listed as a jeep, I don’t see anything jeepy on it. Still, if you need a cheap boom-truck, maybe this is worth look.

“Old willies Jeep made into a boom truck it doesn’t run and I’m not sure what all it needs asking 750”
The body should be examined closely, as there are some repairs and some rust. This has some updates/mods.

This is a project. Given the bumper damage, this hit something pretty hard. The top is a curiosity. I wish we could see more of it.

“Have a restored 59 Jeep Willys tub Forsale no rust and in excellent condition. Also have a nice windshield frame with looks like new glass, rust free fenders,hood and grille. Located in Salt Lake City , Utah.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4000.
(12/05/2020) A ran-when-parked specimen (though looks like it was parked many years ago). It includes a set of rare X-Style Desert Dogs which look little used. Unclear how much value is here, but the price seems to overestimate the value.

“1953 flat head ford v8, Was told it ran when it was parked. The more I put into it the more I will raise the price. Elec front winch, pto rear winch. If your interested i will get it started before I sell”

(11/14/2021) Interesting windshield mod. It almost looks backward.
“Runs fine. Stock. No rust.”
UPDATE: This also ran in October of 2016. I’ve still not uncovered any more relevant information about these tops. However, I can tell you that the Plastic Turning Company suffered a break-in on March 15th, 1970. the company was located at 511 Lancaster St, Leominster, MA.
In March of 1969, Four Wheeler Magazine featured Plastic Turning Company’s Topless Top. It was built from plexiglass and was offered in a clear and tinted model. The company was based out of Leominster, Massachusetts. Has anyone ever seen one of these out in the wild? I didn’t have much luck searching Google for other images.
The Press photo below appeared in at least one newspaper. On October 18, 1943, the Chillicothe Gazette (Ohio) published this pic and caption:
===============================
Published April 9, 2021: Based on the bumper, I’d say this is a GPW. I had hoped to locate the photo in a newspaper, but had no luck.
“Vintage original 1943 press photo of Grumman TBF / TBM Avenger with Jeep on Wake Island, (approximately 20cm x 15cm), with “Keystone” press stamp & description to rear. OK condition, with wear.”
==================================
This pic and caption came from a 12/2019 ebay auction:
Good photo of a stripped(?) jeep maneuvering a Hellcat aboard an aircraft carrier.
“1943 Press Photo Jeep toying US Navy Hellcat aboard an aircraft carrier. This is an original press photo. Autos – Jeeps – Somewhere off Wake Island – They say there’s nothing new under the sun, but here’s a picture of a Jeep, familiar to all as one of the most useful of the many instruments used in this war to date, at a novel task – that of jockeying a “Hellcat” aboard a carrier. This was one of the “flat tops” used to pummel the Japanese on Wake Island, October 5-6. Note two other similar ships in the distance Photo measures 8.5 x 6.5 inches. Photo is dated 10-15-1943.”
