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 .
Two different tops or sale: One is a full military ‘arctic’-style top and what looks to be a Sears-Allstate branded half cab.

“M 38 military 1952 jeep. All original includes original winter arctic hardtop. Original 24 V electrical system. Not currently running, in storage.”
Here’s an unusual custom cab for sale spotted by Andy.

“I have a 1946 Jeep cab $500. Need gone asap. You haul.”
This is listed as a 1949, but is a 1948 based on the serial number. Unclear how much value is here, but it does have a Sears/Allstate-branded deluxe top.

“1949 Willy’s Jeep CJA. Flathead 4 cylinder motor. It has been sitting but the motor moves freely. It’s all there, transmission, radiator, carburator. Would consider trade. DM any questions”
This ad took me by surprise. I’ve never heard of the J-Bird Fiberglass hard top made by Stanley Aviation. I wonder if there are any left anywhere? I’m guessing it was made in Colorado given this ad was in the Mile-Hi Jeep Club archives.
I was able to find some information about Stanley Aviation, but nothing related to Snaley Aviation and a jeep top.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2800.
(07/03/2022) I feel like we’ve seen this one before? It certainly has unique mods.

“Awesome restoration project rare jeep .tires gas and battery and will drive.”
Sri shared this Tuxedo Park IV with a custom paint job. The Reno Four Wheelers club plaque seems a nature fit for that rear quarter-panel.

“Runs like a top and turns heads left and right. Don’t need to sell, not in a hurry to get rid of it. Money is going towards Buisness ventures. I’ve taken it camping. Run around 6 people deep all week in 100’ heat for H.A.N and never gets hot.

Given it runs and stops, this might be worth a look.

“1966 Willys Jeep CJ5. Starts, runs, drives and stops. This is a project and is full of rust. I used it to plow my driveway (way more fun than a snowblower) and it has not been on the road since I bought it last year. It is one of three Jeep CJ projects that I own, and I’m downsizing. Bring a trailer, it’s not road worthy. I can take buyer for a farm trail ride to prove it works. It includes the hydraulics and lift assembly for snow plow which works. I’m keeping the plow and lower mount. Use it as a cheap UTV or rebuild it. It will need a new body and probably some minor frame repair to restore due to rust at the front crossmember. I use it regularly as it is. Please no calls on weekdays before five pm or Thursday nights. I can’t answer it at work. Text anytime.”
Parked in 1980, but seems to have potential.
https://bozeman.craigslist.org/cto/d/bozeman-1949-fresh-barn-find-willy/7518602891.html
“Straight body. No rust. Parked in barn in 1980. All original. Original drive train easy restoration.”
UPDATE: I finally found an original of this brochure by Laurel Worman, Inc. I was surprised to see it printed as late as October of 1953. It is an 8.5 x 11 inch brochure that folds out to 17 x 11 inches.
Its primary purpose was likely to promote the new Worman hardtop for the CJ-3B. I’m not sure how many of that style of tops sold, but I sure haven’t seen many. Instead, I’ve always wondered if the design was sold or made for Sears, which promoted a similar “Deluxe top”. Interestingly, this was more than just a top. The brochure highlights that the top was the result of Worman’s 5-year attempt to turn the CJ-3A into a station wagon type vehicle. Given Worman faded quickly after this brochure was made, it seems the company’s goal wasn’t met.
