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 .

The hardtop on this early CJ-5 was interesting, particularly the doors. I’m sure it’s a 1970s or later top.
https://reno.craigslist.org/cto/d/tahoma-1955-willys-cj5/7509733765.html
“‘55 CJ5 with original motor, 3 speed, near new tires and shocks. Top and doors come off. Currently not running and needs a new battery, which I’m taking care of. Comes with original metal gear directions. Perfect for someone with the time to tinker. Odometer doesn’t work and didn’t when I bought it a few years ago.”
Steve shared this Meyer branded hardtop. It may be an ex-forest service hardtop.
https://allentown.craigslist.org/pts/d/bethlehem-meyers-cj-hardtop-doors/7500798724.html
“Meyers metal hardtop for CJ jeeps. Includes doors and hardware. ( Mounting hinges and door handles. Very good shape.”
UPDATE: Roger Martin bought this rare color Sturdee brochure and shared some pics with us. This is a cool item!
==================================
Originally published March 26, 2018: This is the only information I could find on this rare hardtop.
This early CJ-5 includes a plow. It may be worth a look.

“Vintage jeep with plow, don’t know the year, milage or model number, last ran five years ago. Sold as is you pick it up.”

“Non running no paperwork Comes with additional frame ,wheels,”
David shared this ad. It looks to be some of the parts for a CJ-5 Kelly hardtop. However, I do not see pics of the rear door or the top portion of the top.

“These fit a 60s to 70s jeep m38 or cj5 these may be the only metal doors like these in the entire state of California, they both need door handles and the window mechanism works just fine and the window glass is in perfect condition also they do make after market doors handles for these doors.”
There see3ms to be value here.

Has an updated engine.

“1948 jeep willys runs but still needs work has new carb, fuel pump, water pump, break master cylinder. Has 200ci ford 6cly title from a 44 willys”
Nice wheels/tires. I’m pretty sure the faux battery box lid was phased out after the 1963 year, which suggest this might be a 1962 or earlier. Has a Meyer hardtop, with a handy-looking luggage rack, and a Ramsey PTO winch.

Glenn’s helping sell this CJ-5 with a Koenig PTO winch.
“Grampa’s JEEP just out of storage. It’s a CJ5 put together many years ago from several donors. All stock, no rust, nice full cab, free running hubs, recent paint, looks great but not show quality. Body has been weld repaired, excellent frame, brakes working well, all gears quiet, engine runs but has an ocassional skip. Nice Koenig PTO Winch as per factory specs. I just drove it around and it goes and sounds like an old Jeep should, like an old school build from the 70’s. Maybe fresh gas or some tune up will help, but you can go JEEPIN’ today. Selling for a friend, Grampa’s Grandson. Grampa lived to 100 and was a fanatic about details. Bill of Sale only. If you need title, it’s at your expense as Maine is no title needed for this vehicle. Contact me thru C.L. for phone, more pix, or discussion.”

This flattie has an unusual hardtop and door setup. It looks well done; I can’t tell if it was home made or commercially produced, though I have no brochures for a top like this.
“1953 Willys CJ3A V6 Buick with a Ford 4 speed top loader, Power steering Front disc. brake, M/T wheels with 33/ 12.5/15 Extra set of wheels tires for winter 35/12.5/15 PTO, wench, hardtop and doors $10,500 OBO”
Seller mentions this is a project jeep, but it seems in pretty good shape. It’s got a Kelly hardtop.

Craig shared this early DJ-3A #1134. There’s a lot of stock jeep there.
“1956 Willys DJ3A “The Dispatcher” Slated as a light delivery vehicle this is the first year for this model of Willys. The production number stamped in the frame is 1134 I believe. I will confirm that. This was my dads first vehicle and has been in the family since 1961. As far as I know we were the second owner. I have the original title. It’s a project. I have almost all of the original parts. What is missing is the motor, radiator, and seats. I have three of the original hubcaps. I have two tires on it that do hold air. The floor pans are rusted out. Last time it was on the road was 1973. It does have a factory heater. If you know the DJ’s then you know it is factory 2wd. I also have the doors. This is very difficult to post as I have a long history with this vehicle. Circumstances in life change and sometimes you have to let go of dreams. Ask any questions you want. I have more pics somewhere I will add later.”
Has body rust. Top looks in decent shape.

“1956 Willys Jeep CJ3B. New electronic distributed and Solex Carburetor. Runs but still needs some TLC. Good deer lease vehicle. Gauges and lights work. Breaks lines are in good shape, but cylinders need to be rebuilt. 4×4 works. Spare tire is also included but not in the pictures. Winch is included.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
“Willys cj3b jeep with hardtop. Motor runs well- good oil pressure needs reassembly to drive most parts are present. This was an airport tarmac truck. I figured that I would offer it up in case someone had time to work on it. It’s going into storage soon until I have the time to work on it unless someone is interested in taking on the project. I don’t need to sell it but won’t have time to get to it anytime soon. Clear title in my name with current registration. Somewhat of a rare jeep especially with the hardtop. The price is firm.will consider trade for highboy ford truck or manual transmission scout.Message me for more details or pictures . Was originally government issued with original paint present under the repaint.”
Seems like a fair price.

“Aluminum hardtop with doors from jeep cj2a. Will also fit cj3a good shape one broken window but is flat. Glass ice addition to a classic jeep… sell for $250 cash”
TJ shared this cab enclosure style hardtop. I can’t tell if the door windows are original or not. Maybe they were removed, repaired, painted and reinstalled?
https://www.facebook.com/commerce/products/5681893345157184
“This canopy fits WWII models CJ2 and 3.
Possibly latter models but I’m not sure. $1200 or best offer. It is in Athol. I will remove the post when it is sold.”
