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 $5800.
Robin noticed that this doesn’t have a battery box; yet it does have all the other characteristics of an M-38A1 body (and does not have the CJ-5 body branding). Anyone have any thoughts as to why?
“Has hard top that can be removed new tired and brakes.”
I think this is a cab enclosure hardtop, but can’t tell for sure.

“Very well used hardtop with doors which came on an M38 project I bought. No rear hatch door.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7000.
Ranger Bob suggests this could have been a 1963 that could have been on the production line when things switched the 1964 model (see comments).
Though listed as a 1964, I imagine it is earlier (maybe 1963) given the Willys stampings. It could use some body work and paint. Still, it’s hard to find a 1960’s 3B for sale.

“Putting my 1964 Willys CJ3B up for sale. I’ve had a lot of work done to it in the last few weeks as you can see from the photos. These are not getting easier to find and to have one that has a hardtop and is in good condition with all original drivetrain and low miles is nearly impossible, especially on the east coast. I will NOT respond to any pre-made Facebook messenger messages. May be interested in trades depending on what you have. Please don’t waste my time. Price is $7,500 obo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
The engine is from Kaiser-Frazer, so isn’t original to the jeep. I believe the disassembled photos are the latest ones.
“”46″ Jeep CJ2A , 1st year available to for civilian purchase. All original parts to re- assemble. Was going to do a frame off restoration but am going a different way. Comes with a top, doors, and plow. Has the original supersonic 4 cylinder motor. Currently sitting in my garage out of the weather. Would be a good restoration or an opportunity to add an SMC motor to make an off road vehicle. Do not have a title so I would supply a bill of sale to acquire one.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $525.
Seller believes this was a CJ-5 hardtop at one point, but I don’t see any mods that would indicate that.
“I have a Willy’s jeep hardtop for sale. The top bolts to any flat fender jeep with a MB/GPW windshield frame. (Excluding CJ 3B) The top started off as a early aluminum CJ5 top. it has been highly modified to fit the early Jeeps.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.
(04/06/2020) Could be some value here.
“Project. Running Flat head last summer.”
UPDATE: **Sold** Was $3000.
(03/23/2020) The rims appear to have little paddles added to them (stock?)?
“This is a project Jeep. It’s a rare Marine Corps radio Jeep. It’s been modified. It has a Buick V-6 225, 160 HP engine. It has a vintage Warren electric winch mounted to a heavy duty bumper, oversize tires on deep dish rims and an after market removable cab. It has a complete, all new brake system, new aluminum radiator, all new wiring harness and lots of extra parts including a brand new gas tank and all new gauges. If you’re looking for a project this is the Jeep for you.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300.
Will need some work. This is a Kelly hardtop.
“Fixable jeep steel cab came off a 48cj3 have pass side glass also”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
This has a rare KEMCO branded hardtop.
“CJ2a willys jeep. This is a project jeep. it has a V8 chevy swapped into it. has rust, but overall not to bad for the year. what you see is what you get. i haven’t tried to get it started yet. just thought i would post it before i do any work on it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
Will need some work.
“Willys Jeep high hood too and doors. Need restore. Rare top. Good start $400 or trade.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5600.
(03/17/2020) This could be a good price. It has a rear PTO gearbox and a Deluxe Sears top.
“1946 Willys Jeep. First year of the Civilian Jeep. Runs great, drives great. Motor, transmission, transfer case, differentials, brakes all recently rebuilt. New leaf springs with small lift, good tires, recent paint. Has the rare Power-Take-Off option. Aluminum top in great condition. Clear title and current Oklahoma tag. Ready for work or recreation”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1700.
The seller’s description suggests this was originally a Surrey DJ-3A. There is some pink on the inside. Appears to be a good price.
“This is a rare Willys Model DJ-3A. Originally was pink with pink and white striped interior. Top is a Super rare steel Koenig Iron Works too from the 40’s or 50’s. It has roll up door windows and window sliders on the sides and a hatch back”
It’s a project. Seller is willing to trade for parts.

“CJ2A hardtop full length, needs some work no doors but is a great start for someone, $100 or trade for other parts. Looking for an engine and front seats”
Interesting that this has New Mexico plates. If it spend most of its life in NM, it may be pretty solid.

“1961 Willys Jeep
Rebuilt engine
New Clutch
New breaks”
Running (with Toyota engine and running gear) when parked.

“1946 Willys cj2a . Arctic hard top. I have the original fold down windshield and tailgate as well. Toyota axles. Power steering. Freshly rebuilt 22r engine with Webber carb. 5spd. Floor pan solid. Needs some things finished (wiring lights, turn signals, clean fuel, etc). Has sat for a couple years was running when parked”
A big thanks to Ted Jordan for making and sharing these scans. When Hubart A. Kelly initially purchased the D. L. Beck Manufacturing Company, which produced CJ-2A hardtops, initially the cab company was called Kemco. At the time Beck was still a working partner at the company. This rare four-page brochure was produced at that time. Not too much later, Kemco was officially became the Kelly Manufacturing Company and Kemco disappeared.
These are the interior two pages.
This is the Dealer’s Confidential Price list:
And here is what the rest of us would likely have paid:
Ted Jordan also shared this early Kelly Manufacturing Hardtop Brochure. Note that the brochure mentions Kemco on the front page, which suggests this was printed shortly after the name was changed to Kelly.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3420.
(02/16/2020) This has three data plates, so it is likely earlier than the listed year of 1949. Looks like it’s got a Porter & Reed hardtop.
“1949 Willys complete last time it runs smoked a little bit !”
This jeep has a couple neat features. It’s got an interesting spare tire/back bumper set up and it’s still has the Cutlas operation sticker within the glove box (alas, the cutlas hubs aren’t on it anymore).

“This Jeep is the cleanest unrestored 1957 around. No cancer!!! !! Original paint. Has dealer option hard top and doors that have NEVER been removed. Jeep was ordered with a snow plow but plow has since been lost.
Original 1/3 2/3 front seat. Factory “ Willys all range “ overdrive. with original 3 speed trans. This Jeep never came with a roll bar or a rear seat. Rear cargo area is extremely clean. Original owner had a 351 Windsor installed in 1974.
When he passed away 5 years ago, the Jeep was left to his best friend who had the engine rebuilt, balanced and blue printed by a local hot rod shop. The jeep was driven approximately 500 miles since the rebuild. Just replaced the fuel line and filter as well as the the cap, rotor, points etc.. Tires are 32×11.50 BFG all terrains with at least 90% tread on 15×10 wheels.
Maybe some value here.

“Ran last year. Body is rough. Comes with paperwork and plow. ”
Has a PTO winch and a Meyer hardtop.

“1955 Willys Jeep. Good Condition Runs – 4 Cylinder Pinto Engine. More pictures & video of it running/driving – Upon request. PM If Interested – $4000.”
Home made hard top? Sure has a rough side (fiberglass?).
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1066858207030654/
Runs. “New Tires, New Gas Tank, New front Glass and new battery. This jeep starts. Manual Transmission”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $550.
(12/18/2019) The top appears solid.
“WILLYS JEEP STEEL TOP WITH DOORS AND REAR GATE, FAIR CONDITION, SEE PICTURES. SHOULD FIT MB GP CJ2, ETC. TEXT”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $300. This looks to be the sliding type, based on the additional pic that shows the handle at the front of the door. Technically, this is the DJ-3A version. The CJ-5 version of the top had windows. But, I believe this would fit a CJ-5.
(07/25/2019) There’s some rust on this top, but I can’t tell how deep it is.
