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 .
I finally obtained a 1954 CJ-3B brochure, Form # SD-201-4. There is also a version of this brochure with showing a CJ-3B fire engine, but I haven’t gotten that one yet.
Could be worth a look. Appears solid.

“53 willys cj3a runs and drives I like driving it, wheeling it and showing it off but I want to build other projects so something has to go. New valves, solid copper head gasket, GM alternator, new belt/fan/water pump. Springs/shocks/tank/seats and top all new. Weber carb, dry air filter, custom bumpers, bigger tires.

“Needs a new home hasn’t ran for years, has a power take off on the rear, extra trans and transfer case, miscellaneous parts. Frame and body solid. Come take a look and make me a reasonable offer or possibly swap for what ever”
Drain holes are missing, so this has likely had some body work.

“1948 Willys CJ2A in great shape.”
This could be worth a look.

Listed as a 1954, this looks more like a post 1959 CJ-3B.

“1945 gpw tub. Message me for details,make a offer pick up only, located in rockland county NY”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $450.
Seller doesn’t think this was original to a 1961 CJ-5, but it in fact is a factory hardtop (minus the rust of course).
“Hard top that came off 61 willys Jeep cj5 I don’t think it’s original”
Unclear how much value is here.

“1947 Willys Jeep with no motor and the trans is bad. I have a tailgate, fenders, and front, but they are rusted in some places. Needs to be rebuilt of course but has a good VIN and would make a great truck to cut up and not care if you wanted to make a rock crawler or something out of. Open to trades, perhaps anything GM truck related. Or shoot me something that you have that you want to trade. Currently it is sitting in my 6,600 sq ft building, so I don’t have to get rid of it anytime soon.”
UPDATE: This was relisted on eBay and ended up selling yesterday for $26.95.
This print block depicting a Willys-Overland jeep with attached sprayer was on eBay. It’s pretty small, but the grille and tool indents suggest it’s an Agrijeep to me. This and similar small blocks were used to create newspaper ads illustrations. Below the block is an example of it used in an October 03, 1945, advertisement.
Here’s the ad example:

Mike spotted this good price. These are hard to find this cheaply.

Doug had a Porter & Reed Hardtop for sale a couple years ago. He took some great detail photos of it and it represents a classic example of the Full Econo-Body-Type “E” model, so I’ve included them all in case someone tries to restore one of these (I have higher res photos, too). For example, in Doug’s photos you can see the pull down sunshade and bracket on the driver’s side and just the bracket on the passenger side.
I’ve also included both brochures from the 10/1/1948 First Supplement of the Willys-Overland Special Equipment book (Besides full and half tops, Porter & Reed also manufactured bed extenders). (Learn additional info about the tops on the CJ-3B site)
The odd thing about Porter & Reed tops is that there were a multitude of variations, from no small side windows, to small side windows to larger side windows, or from a single back door window to dual back windows, and from rear doors that opened up vertically, to a couple that opened sideways, to a set of barn doors (custom)? There may have been a change in the doors as well, as a couple tops have angled bends at the lower front edge rather than the standard vertical bend where the body bends. What was factory and what was customized is likely lost to time ….
Some of these variations are evident in the Deluxe (Type “A”) vs. Econo Body (Type “E”) full top models, but others are not. For example, the Deluxe model had a rear door that swung sideways, rectangular side windows with rounded corners, while the Econo model had a rear door that swung upwards and square side windows. Meanwhile, the deluxe half top (Half body — Type “B”) had a rear door that swung upwards, while the econo half top’s (Half Econo-Body–Type “H”) rear didn’t open at all.
You can see all the full and half top examples I have here: http://www.ewillys.com/?s=Porter+%26+Reed … I’ve also included a few at the end of this post.
Here’s the basic hardtop brochure:
Now for Doug’s ad:

“I have a full hard top for a CJ2A for sale. It’s in pretty good shape. It needs glass or plexiglass. $450, I am coming north on the east coast November 3rd, from Florida to New York, can help deliver”
This unusual body deserves some more pics.

“1951 Jeep Willy’s Willy’s · Small_car · Driven 500 miles All wood body Willy’s.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
Seems like a good price. Seller is very clear that it isn’t a perfect vehicle, but it does run and drive.
“1953 Willys jeep cj3b Starts right up and drives but it is almost 70yrs old. This thing is slow, bumpy, wanders all over the road, drips fluids and the brakes are like rubbing to blocks of wood together. But it’s an Absolute blast to drive. Was driving to work and school daily, now it’s not getting driven enough and I have other projects I’d like to get too. Mostly original. But there are a few modern additions. Electric wipers, electric fuel pump, modern air filter (I do have the original air canister filter) Minimal rust nothing cancerous that I know of just some light surface in a few places. Newer paint job, white exterior and black monstaliner in the inside tub. New seat upholstery, New tube in the tires and tires are in great shape. Starter and t-case rebuild 2yrs ago I want to be clear this is not a perfect vehicle, it leaks fluid, body isn’t perfect, paint isn’t perfect. This is not a show vehicle nor is the asking price. It is a driver”
Appears to have some value.

“Jeep fc-150 Has title Motor is not complete but I have another that could go with it for the right price. Has a plow. Has engine dog house and heater box still in tack! Solid project”

A reader by the name of Brent has this solid looking CJ-5 for sale. It’s set up for some hunting with the elevated rear seat. It doesn’t have a title, but will have a bill-of-sale.
“For sale is my 1961 Willys CJ-5. Some of the improvements over the last 2 years include new tires (already slimed), installation of Warn winch, custom built high rack complete with cooler storage (cooler not included), water jug storage, removable expanded metal trash can, spare tire holder, and a tilt-up floor. The carburetor has been rebuilt, electric fuel pump installed to prime the existing mechanical pump, hard wired battery tender on the inside wheel well, pertronix ignition (replaces the need for points in the distributor).
Five years ago we did a major overhaul which included the following (all new/replaced): master cylinder, valve job, rear brake hose, radiator, radiator hoses, thermostat, fan belt, ignition switch, starter, gas tank, sending unit, fuel line, new transmission, new transfer case, new steering wheel, new seats, new glove box, new fender flares, and finished with a flat OD green paint.
F-134 engine runs and drives good. 4WD works fine. No title; will provide bill of sale.”
Could be worth a look.

“Early 1947 CJ2A for sale. Will need trailer to pickup or we can deliver for a fee within 1 hr. Mostly complete, needs carb. Transmission is not locked up like most Jeep’s you find from this era. Motor will most likely need a rebuild. Converted to 12 volt. Great candidate for restoration or pull the flathead four cylinder motor and replace with a small block. Overall solid project jeep. Will be sold with bill of sale. Jeep could be bought without the motor if you are planning to use a different motor for your trail rig”
