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: Better quality scans have replaced the poorer images.
This rare 1-page Shenco sales brochure demonstrates that the Cab Enclosure Hardtop was available outside the military, which I hadn’t known. This does explain why we’ve seen this version of a top on some non-military vehicles.
Interesting, the brochure states the government cost is $660.00, but cost to the general public $175.00, are we to believe this? sounds like a bit of the blarney. One other point, mentions this top is also available for the CJ5, I have never seen one on a CJ5, I would think the basic top for the earlier models would not fit without a good deal of alteration.
Dave, very nice piece of information that you posted and great price. I’m going to call that Hickory phone number listed and see if they have any left—ha ha. Thank you for all the great literature you have been posting. Bill Garland
You are welcome Bill. Glad you are enjoy this stuff. This brochure was a big surprise to me. I had no idea anyone was selling these tops to the public.
Mike,
Regarding the CJ-5, I agree. I just thought of this …. maybe the tops behind sold were considered surplus, hence the price reduction? That would explain why they’d be marketed to the public.

Dave, the surplus explanation makes sense, I tend to agree, most logical explanation.
