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 .
Includes a nice looking PTO winch. Has an f-head.

“Runs Great Needs Some Break parts Finished”
There’s a lot going on here. It appears to be an M-38A1 body that sits on a non M-38A1 frame. That may have a CJ-3B hood grafted onto an M-38A1 hood?

“954 JEEP CJ3B LL BODY —-HAS RUN WITHIN THE LAST 4 YEARS, BUT NEEDS A BREAK JOB AND SOME TLC. MOSTLY STOCK AS BEST AS I CAN TELL, HAS CHROME WHEELS WITH DECENT TIRES. ROLL BAR AND LOCKOUT HUBS. I WOULD SAY THE CONDITION IS GOOD CONSIDERING THE AGE COMBINATION WITH THE MECHANICAL WORK. PHOTOS KIND OF TELL THE STORY.
COMES WITH AN OFF ROAD STYLE JACK. MILEAGE IS UNKNOWN. VEHICLE IS STORED UNDER OPEN CAR PORT.
OWNER HAD LOVINGLY REPAIRED AND WORKED TO GET INTO FULL CONSISTENT RUNNING CONDITION, I KNOW I WAS OCCASIONALLY A NON-MECHANICAL HELPER. I PERSONALLY HAVE RIDEN WITH OWNER WHEN WE USED IT FOR HUNTING THE ROUGH BACK ROADS, SO I KNOW SHE HAS DEFINITELY RUN. JUST BEEN SITTING FOR A COUPLE YEARS WAITING FOR THE BREAK JOB TO BE FINISHED.
THERE ARE PARTS THAT COME WITH THE VEHICLE.
Vehicle has clear and clean title in hand.
HOWEVER AND UNFORTUNATELY THE OWNER PASSED FROM CANCER AND HIS WIDOW IS NOT A MECHANIC EITHER. I AM LISTING THIS FOR HER”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $10,000.

UPDATE II: Here is a color version of the CJ-5 w/hardtop that appears in the brochure below. I found this on Flickr. One commenter there noted that, “Reinforced Plastics Corporation was in operation on Martha’s Vineyard from 1952 to 1959. They made these tops as well as other fiberglass items.”
================================
UPDATE from October 26, 2017: Here’s another one of these rare brochures for sale. Thanks to Bill Norris and Derek Redmond for the extra pics. This brochure has been for sale on the same eBay pager for four years. It’s on sale at the moment.
This unusual fiberglass hardtop was created by the Reinforced Plastics Corp. I have yet to see one in the wild. Two journal articles (Chemical Week 1957, Volume 81 and National Defense Transportation Journal 1957, Volumes 13-14) both have announcements for the new top, pegging its inception around mid-1957. Unfortunately, Google will only provide snipped views of these University of Michigan scanned journals. The date of these journals suggests the lister of this brochure is probably wrong about the 1955 date for the brochure.

This February 1956 issue shows repair part kits for wheel cylinders. Unless I am confused, certainly nothing extraordinary, it seems the newsletter is suggesting that CJ-2A, CJ-3A, CJ-3B, CJ-5, CJ-6 and DJ-3A all used the same Wheel Cylinder kits, but actually the DJ-3A, unfortunately, is different from all those.
Andy spotted these three Al-Toys for sale for $4000 or best offer. One pic shows two Al-Toy Fire Engine, but, according to the description, they are not included.

Andy shared this Louis Marx “Build-Up” plastic jeep kit, which looks a lot like the domestically produced Fix-All jeep. Note that the windshield on this jeep is broken (passenger arm).

“Rear wheel axle plastic support broken missing as picks show plus front windshield one end broken missing.trolley jack missing.there are 5 wheels only 4 tyres. unsure if large red disc is for this?.the bonnet is very tight only opened as far as pics show didn’t want to force as might snap one or both lugs so beware on this.the grey tin lid with number eight will not come with this as I’m pretty certain it’s not for this”
This may be a good price. Paint has been brushed onto it.

“1953 willys high hood cj3b in good condition. My grandpa wanted to get rid of it and told me if I sell it I could use the money towards college. It looks amazing in the photos but it does have flaws. My grandpa painted it with a brush in his garage this bright red and then painted the bumpers and such black. Has some runs in it and isn’t the best but looks better than it did. Has some rust but isn’t the worst. Besides that it runs great, runs smooth. Has decent 33s and a spare also. Comes with winch and a flat tow. I’m no jeep guy so if your really interested you can come take a look”
Barney shared this lefty. Note the plaid half-seat. I believe this is home made; at least, I’ve not seen one quite like this (one of the black and white pics in the ad partly shows it installed).

“1972 cj5 with the 258 inline 6 cylinder, 3 speed transmission and dana 20 transfercases. Runs great, brakes could use some TLC but will stop”

This is a couple hours away from me. It looks promising. This has a V-6 badge, but unclear what engine is actually there.

“From what I can tell this is a Sears top. It fits my Cj2A but I’m not sure if it fits the 3A. I went with a full top so I don’t need it. It has one original door and both hinge pieces . I also have included two home made doors( they will need new glass). The home made doors are very stout.”
Sounds like it runs and stops.

This November 1955 issue points out service bulletin 302 (have to look to see if I have that one), which introduces a new part to repair the column shift mechanism in wagons and sedan delivery vehicles.
