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 .
Not sure how much value is here. Does not appear to run. Has what may be Kelly Hubs and a Sears Hardtop.

Fun, running, driving and functional, but sold AS IS. 16,528 indicated miles, but overall mileage is unknown. 3 speed floor mounted transmission shifts well. All gauges and horn work.
Valuable accessories include a scarce cold weather fibreglass cab, towbar, Warn overdrive and lockout hubs gives a top cruising speed of 60mph. Turn signals, roof mounted air conditioning, defroster, Am/Fm and CB radio with mount and antenna, dual mirrors and extra stop lights for safety. New June 2019 battery. 2” receiver trailer hitch, dual G.I. type gas cans and spare tire with mounts included as well. A trunk, accessible from the tailgate, has been installed instead of a rear seat. The loose rear seat frame, comes with the vehicle.
This Jeep has a military history, supposedly being an Air Force “follow me” vehicle in Greenland, but this can not be confirmed. The body in good shape, not a rustbucket. A great running, practical, hunting, or fishing, classic, flat fendered Jeep. If restored with Air Force markings, it would be a scarce variation of a military Jeep.
$9600 – Sale by wire transfer (bank to bank) only. Call prior to purchase. Clear Arizona title. Sold as is. Non-Dealer private seller, so no sales tax. ”
UPDATE: Back on Craigslist.
(05/07/2016) Looks like this might have a Boston Top.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/916236715427892/
“Original 4 cylinder, runs and drives like a old Jeep should. 4X 4 works great”
Listed as as 1946 Cj-2A, it looks more like a CJ-3A. If the top only has surface rust, then there could be value here.
https://austin.craigslist.org/cto/d/dripping-springs-1946-jeep-cj2a/7051726516.html
“Need parts? has a Koneig hard top with doors. Engine ran when last tuned off.”

Listed as a Scrambler (probably just due to listing limitations of the ad software), this is actually a CJ-6.
https://cars.ksl.com/listing/6135942?ad_cid=1
“Vintage Jeep CJ6 …I have owned her for several years. I am 3rd owner. She’s all stock, no frills, no power steering or brakes, but a blast to drive. 304 v8 with 3 speed tranny. Cruises 70 on the freeway just fine. Don’t want to sell, but looking for a fish/ski boat. Text me, we’ll take her for a spin, and you’ll fall in love with this very rare sweetheart.”
These appear to be Koenig hardtop doors.

“Pair of doors for early Jeep CJ with metal top. Not sure what years? Doors are super solid with no rust through. Includes regulators & latches. $100 for the pair”

“Rare 1943s Willy’s postal left hand steer 4×4”
This has a center seat, early Free-Lock hubs, and a hardtop that I thought was a Koenig, but for which I can find no documentation. Note the way it connects to the side of the cowl. I’ve seen others, but can’t find brochures for this. Someone one suggested it might be a Western top, but I have not documentation on those either.

“Hard Top, 2 Doors, 4 Wheels.”
Given the top (which includes doors) there could be value here.
