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 $100.
This looks a lot like the Beck/Kemco top, but the top of the back is angled rather than flat (see bottom pic). I couldn’t find a comparable top to identify it. It’s a good price.
“Get your CJ2A ready for some cool weather driving! For sale is a Arctic top for a CJ2A. Includes two full doors with working windows and a back window that lifts and locks. Priced way below what you normal find them for – only $100.”
No pics provided. Seems overpriced for something that needs work.

Craig spotted this one. I wonder if the seller is serious about the $100 price? There’s plenty of value if that’s the case.

Looks pretty stock. It only shows 10,000 original miles, but the odometer cable could have broken.

Looks like a good price. Is the back piece something that could have been ordered? I’ve never seen that.
“This is a half cab or pick up conversion cab for a 1946 Willys CJ2A
It came with my Willys when I bought it and I have no use for it. I have no idea if it’s a Willys or aftermarket part, but it looks original to me. Condition is okay. Some small dents and scratches. Almost no rust on most of it except the doors. They are rusty on the bottom. The divider that goes to the floor is dented up from removal. The goofy box sides appear to be homemade and they were weldedvon so I had to cut them off, but they are not welded to the cab.”
Does not have a title.
“Body is decent for its age. I’ve been repairing rust as time allows.
Has been modified to use Chevy Motors using advanced adapters parts
Transmission has been rebuilt and new input shaft installed.
Transfer case is complete but I have a rebuild kit for it as well.

My last stopping place on this was working on the steering.
Comes with a bill of sale and all parts I have for it.”

No photos with this article, but it’s an odd bit of jeep news about former President Eisenhower. It was published i the December 1955 issue of Willys News.
This 1985 article in the Daytona Morning Journal shared the story of Ted Tieder, a man who began selling ice cream in 1937 and was still selling it in 1985.
This postcard shows multiple Bantam BRC-40s at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds.
