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 .
Between the plow, half cab, and other parts, there seems to be some value here.

“975 CJ-5 Jeep with Meyers all angle plow 6’, straight 6 cylinder engine. New snow tires. Great for driveway snow removal. Needs minor work like clutch fork link reattached, was running when clutch rod dropped out and minor body work as shown in last photo.”
It has a Meyer-branded half-cab.

Needs some work. Great project vehicle. OBO”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $950.
It’s missing the rear glass, but otherwise looks in good shape.
“Great solid shape
Came off my 1946 willys jeep
Has doors ans roll up windows
All works
Missing rr window and one side window is cracked
I wont bargain on price..”
UPDATE: Some additional pics added.
This chassis appears to have front frame horns and may have a CJ-2A transmission crossmember side-frame-mount setup. Given it’s been lengthened and located in the Spokane area, I’d bet this is a lengthened CJ-2A chassis (or CJ-2L as we’ve come to call them).

“WILLY JEEP … have questions we dont mind answering 240 four, four 0 21 nine7 any time or 509 two 51 eight3 1seven”
Tim’s selling this Koenig model 555 half-cab. The doors do not include the window mechanisms. Colfax, Wisconsin is about 60 miles east of Minneapolis, MN. You can contact him by phone at 715 308 3207.
“I recently bought a second halfcab, a Koenig model 555, not realizing that my half-cab does not interchange with it. I have taken the window mechanisms from that cab, but have no use for the rest of it. It weighs almost 300 pounds, and is obviously bulky, even though it is completely disassembled. I can deliver it within reason”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/21/2022) Note that the price on the window reads $4800

“Runs and drives, has new tires. Clean title will drive with no problems”
Two different tops or sale: One is a full military ‘arctic’-style top and what looks to be a Sears-Allstate branded half cab.

“I Have 2 older Willys jeep Cabs with doors , one is Aluminum , the other is a Galvanize Half Cab, not sure the years I think there are Early 50’s 800.00 OBO”
This may be worth a look.

“57 Willys Jeep. CJ-5 low mileage Jeep with very little rust, only surface in a few places. Paint has faded form being stored outdoors for many years. Was used only to plow snow by previous owner. Odometer reads 6678 but has stopped working.”
This may have a Beck half-cab. It likely has cargo-bed rust, too.
https://up.craigslist.org/for/d/escanaba-1956-willys/7511284750.html
“RUNS GREAT. NO BRAKES. $2000 FIRM.”

This estate sale took place earlier this month. Maybe the jeep is still available (ad is still up)?

UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/26/2022) This has a Beck half cab with the model plate and serial number.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/5359696840717402
“1947 Willys CJ-2a civilian Jeep. Titled Parts or restorable. 4×4 53,000 plus miles Half metal cab Appears to be complete. Engine turns over. 12v conversion but needs rewiring and a battery. Needs all glass except rear cab. Rear differential is locked up. Front wheels turn free. Drive shafts are disconnected but included. Previously listed with rear PTO. I’m retaining PTO (and drive shaft to PTO) and reducing the price accordingly. Gear box and shifter for PTO remains on the transmission. $2,950 cash only, as-is, you haul.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2400.
It’s got the Worman-manufactured early half cab.
“1947 Willys cj2a Factory half cab very very rare ! A link below will explain this cab. Floor is soild need rear quarter repairs, engine and trans are froze
$2200.00 with bill of sale $2800.00 if i find the pink slip.

If it’s listed it still for sale
This is the factory cab not aftermarket Sears, JC Whitney, Acme
UPDATE: I’ve been asked if this is a Worman MFG cab ,from my understanding wormans were the first aluminum Willys Factory contracted. Please click link below for explanation on this cab
Like most steel aftermarket hard tops, the Willys halfcab was much too heavy to casually remove and re-install, so many of these impressive half cabs have been scrapped, making this a rare and very desirable hard top.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.
Jo-Jo is selling this half cab which I think is for a CJ-3A.
“Half hard top make by Koenig Iron works
Willys CJ Jeep Half Hard Top.
All original, even has the manufacture tag.
Roll up original windows and extra set of handles.
Let me know if you have any questions.”
This has a Koenig half-cab. It could be worth a look.

“Everything works and is all there. It’s still a 6V system, has 3 sets of wheels including the original ones. It has the Koenig half cab, currently off the Jeep. It’s does have some rust but isn’t bad for a 74 year old vehicle”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.

Eric postedthis cool little jeep to the Willys CJ-2A Facebook page. His grandfather did the original work. The redesigned jeep had fallen into disrepair before Eric began the work necessary to resurrect it back to how his grandfather’s build.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
The price seems good on this parts jeep whose body is plenty rusted. The hardtop has be confused. I think it may be a Koenig hardtop with customized “suicide” doors, but the windshield isn’t something I recognize. It may be this windshield allowed the use of a CJ-5 style hardtop.
The windshield doesn’t look like the DJ-3A windshield (shown here) nor does it look like the early Worman windshield (shown here). Anyone recognize it? It certainly looks production quality. I might have seen something similar on a jeep on Facebook, but I can no longer find that post.
This has been listed a while; it’s unclear if this was ever auctioned or not. This has a Koenig model 535 half-top.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/645715323124485
“LAST CHANCE BEFORE AUCTION! cool jeep with a Koenig iron works manufactured hard top/ half cab . Has new carb and new mechanical fuel pump ready to be installed. Spins over freely. Frame looks solid. Windshield needs replaced. But should be an easy project for someone to work on and enjoy. has a title!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
This has a few extras, including a Meyer hardtop, a Warn(?) OD, and a custom(?) bed extension. The video below must be from the previous owner.
“1960 Jeep Cj5 225 dauntless V6 3 speed with gear vendor overdrive Twin stick Dana 20 transfer case Runs and drives great, breaks work plenty. Rides great at 45-50mph Do not ask if it’s still available.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6500.
(02/11/2022) The half-top looks refurbed/customized and the roof of this half-cab extends a little too far over the front. It seems that would be a big wind catcher at any decent rate of speed.

“THIS IS 1948 WILLYS CJ2A ORIGINAL MOTOR REBUILT BY PROFESSIONAL SHOP EVRYTHING DONE TO ORIGINAL SPECS THE JEEP HAS ROUGHLY 500 TO 1000 MILES ON THE MOTOR SEE VIDEO IT IDLES QUIET RUNS PERFECT I HAVE A NEW GAS TANK AND GAUGE SENDING UNIT THAT COMES WITH THE JEEP THE ONE IN IT IS FINE GAS GAUGE WORKS JUST EXTRA STUFF THAT GOES WITH THE JEEP THE TOP AND BACK COVER WILL COME OFF IF YOU LIKE
THE WINDOWS DO ROLL UP AND DOWN THE DOORS LATCH GOOD BUT IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE TOP YOU CAN SIMPLY TAKE IT OFF THE BODY WAS NOT CUT ON OR ALTERED TO PUT THE TOP ON IT IS HOME MADE THE TOP WITH WINDOWS IS METAL THE BACK COVER IS WOOD THE FRONT WINDOW IS ORIGINAL AND GOES DOWN PROPERLY ALL LATCHES ARE GOOD NICE CLEAR GLASS IN THIS SPLIT WINDOW JEEP THE TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH ARE GOOD
This rear-wheel-drive build is interesting. It’s listed as a 1960 DJ-5 but those weren’t built until 1966 (it also lacks the faux battery box lid of a 1960 body). The fenders are later than 1960, too. The half top is one of the nicer ones I’ve seen, but I don’t recognize the model. The engine sounds like it would work well. The work n the jeep looks well done.
https://victoriatx.craigslist.org/cto/d/victoria-jeep-willys/7463106169.html
“Jeep Willys DJ5 with RWD, new less then 200 miles, built with the best of everything.
