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.

“Willy’s Jeep needs work only real rust is by doors on floor pan”
I believe these are Koenig Standard Cab doors for a CJ-5/6 hardtop: https://www.cj3b.info/Photos/Hardtops/Koenig/KoenigFolder2.JPG

“Pair of doors for early Jeep CJ with metal top. Not sure what years? Doors are super solid with no rust through. Includes regulators & latches. $100 for the pair.”
Looks like a good price.
https://wichita.craigslist.org/pts/d/wichita-aluminum-hard-top-willys-cj2a/6992815703.html
“Very nice original vintage aluminum hard top. All glass is in one piece and not cracked. This came off this running 1948 cj2a very original jeep. Just in time for winter!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
This might have a modified Meyer hardtop.
“one of a kind 1957 cj6.
Only 1230 of these made in 1957.
250 Ford straight 6
Power steering
Custom hardtop
The awesome patina is from sitting for 30 years after it came from California to Oregon in the early 80s and parked.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
(08/31/2019) Has some extra vents in the floor. This might have some free-lock hubs, but I can’t tell for sure.
“1953 Willys Jeep CJ-3B $3000 obo This Jeep is in pretty good shape and mostly original for its age. The Good: Mostly original, except for the Solex carb and screw on oil filter; these are both improvements unless you’re after a nut and bolt restoration, and it would be easy to go back to stock if you want. Steel hardtop. Starts easily and runs and drives well. Body is in good condition for the age. The Bad: Brakes are adequate but not excellent. Some rust, the worst of it is in the passenger floorboard. Wiring is sketchy at best. The Ugly: It’s a CJ-3B. Some people love them, most think they’re hideous. I like it, but I guess I’m in the minority. In any case, I have too many projects and I don’t think I’ll ever get to this one”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
(06/05/2019) Looks like this has a rare Worman jee-cab hardtop.
“1948 Willys Jeep flathead four-cylinder tub a little rough has been setting for about three years now good title1500 or best offer”
Jee-Cab:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $150. It appears to be an M-151 hardtop.
Here’s an odd hardtop. The strange part is the odd inlet (fuel inlet of some kind?) on the passenger door at a place that would be incorrect for a jeep.
“See pics. Glass broke on one side. Aluminum”
UPDATE: As Craig points out, the trio of data tags suggest this is a 1946.
(08/29/2019) Seller hopes to free up the engine and get it running.

“1948 Willy’s Jeep with custom made roof. Title in hand, last on the road in 76, Motor is currently locked up, working on freeing it up then will work on getting it running”
I believe this is for a CJ-5/M-38A1.

“Came off 1960 Willy’s Jeep Has some rust will need body work”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6950. Now for sale here: http://www.ewillys.com/2019/11/14/1958-cj-6-san-gabriel-ca-9000/
This CJ-6 has the King Seeley 0-8 speedo with the broken pointer (not uncommon to see them broken). I’m surprised to see that speedo in a model as late as 1958, so it wouldn’t surprise me if this was actually an early 1957 model sold as a 1958.
“1958 Willys CJ6 Jeep For Sale.
4WD, original 4 Cylinder engine, full metal hardtop.
Just serviced with new battery, oil and fuel filters, distributor cap, rotor, points, plugs, condenser, plug wires, oil change, fuel and coolant flushes, etc..
Very little rust for a 61 year old jeep!
Ready to go. The perfect little “mountain goat” – ranch, cabin or hunting truck!”
Can’t tell a whole lot about the floor as it is covered with carpet.

https://morgantown.craigslist.org/pts/d/morgantown-cj5-metal-top/6981360918.html
“Metal top for CJ5 or M38A1 manufactured by Kelly. Includes key lock doors and mounting hardware.”
This looks like a good hardtop.
“1951 Press Photo Bavarian housewives wearing shawls, walking past American jeep. This is an original press photo. Germany, people, Bavarian housewives wearing similar shawls go about their daily chores, passing a winterized American jeep without giving it a thought. Costume and custom have changed title in the small Alpine towns.Photo measures 9.75 x 7.5inches. Photo is dated 12-09-1951.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $000.
(09/14/2019) Needs some work. Has some body repairs.
“1948 Willys Jeep. Runs and drives. Clean NV title. Needs brake work. Would make great SandJeep for the dunes”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
This appears to have most of the elements of a Porter & Reed hardtop, except that the rear of the top is rounded. This feels like a transitional top between what was Porter & Reed and whomever purchased the company (if any one did). Early Koenig tops were similar to this, so perhaps Koenig (out of Texas) purchased Porter & Reed (out of Kansas)??
“Complete aluminum hardtop and doors for a Willy’s CJ 2A Jeep. May fit other models.
The Jeep in the pictures is not for sale. Those pictures are just for reference.
I’m unsure of the actual value so make me a reasonable offer.”
UPDATE: Still Avaialble.
(08/29/2019) May need some love.

UPDATE II: Still Available.
UPDATE: This is actually the 2nd Oneida hardtop found with a flat fender in the Spokane area (other is here). Maybe someone was converting them at the Air Force Base west of Spokane?
This top surprised me. It has a date plate! It seems to be some kind of manufactured-for-the-military hardtop. It’s made by the Oneida Products Corp. out of Oneida, New York. The manufacture date is August 1951.
