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 .
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6500.
(03/22/2022) This has a variety of updates. That’s a CJ-5 Sears/Meyers hardtop.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1040969893490344
“This is a 49 Willy’s Jeep CJ2a. Has been in the Ballard family for over 50 years! Has a 1979 Ford 2.3 engine. Original manual transmission and rear end. Chevy Impala tilt steering column. It does run but hasn’t been driven very much for a few years. Has a Western 6 foot 6 plo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
I’m not sure what’s going on with the hub on the driver’s side. It includes a Koenig(?) hardtop and a pto winch.
“I have a 1959 Jeep for sale. The body is in good shape, I don’t see any rust anywhere. It’s a 4X4, with a manual transmission. It has an inline six-cylinder engine. It has a metal hard top that can be removed. It has been sitting for a while so it will need to be trailered or hauled, I don’t know when it ran last my uncle was going to get it running but passed away.”
This is worth a look.

“1952 M38 with Artic top, have most of the parts. 24 volt electric system.”
This seems worth a look.

“Koenig Iron Works complete enclosure top from a 1955 Willys Jeep CJ-5. Comes with the top, two sides, back door and both side doors. Some glass is cracked but still intact, both side door windows move freely and come with all original hardware. Back door hardware functions as it should. The top is in very good condition. There is some rust and or holes, on some pieces, but overall, this would be great for a restoration project and is solid. I have the majority of the screws, etc., but they are standard size so replacing is not difficult. Also included are the old interior door panels, which are shot but could be used as templates for replacement.”
Seller will sell for less without hardtop.

“1948 willys Jeep CJ2a Flat fender with clean title, 1961 215 all aluminum Buick V8 swapped in with dual exhaust, was told it drove 2 years ago, motor turns free. new older tires still with nubs. Hard top and doors from newer CJ3b ? home made adapters to fill side area around windshield and tub. Aftermarket heater, Brakes don’t work, no fluid. no seats,early 60’s GM column, probably same Buick as engine.
great project for the right person, tub is in good shape for the age, drive floor patched, firewall was cut up for engine swap. Looks like all original sheet metal, extra trans and transfer case. $2800 as is Clean title
Has tow bar so it can be flat towed. but hard top and front clip only has a few bolts holding them on.
willys with out hard top and doors $2200
may sell hard top and doors separate, some glass broke $1300”
There are no doors, but the top looks in good shape.

“I am selling an original Koenig hardtop that came as original equipment on a 1946 CJ2A. This hardtop is in excellent condition, no rust or dents or past repairs. Even contains the original padding/insulation on the roof. All the glass is perfect and they open as if new. The only negative about this top is the color but of course can be repainted. I do not have the doors. It should be noted that the jeep is not for sale, only the hardtop.”
This runs. It appears to have a replacement body.

“Complete and runs. V6 buick motor.”
Not sure how much value is here, but it does have a pot and a sears(Meyers) hardtop.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/4929314097156846
“This is a 4×4 jeep it’s all there, flat head engine turns over. I’m having the starter rebuilt. Hopefully it will start. Tires will hold air for a short time. It has a extra shifter I’m not sure if it’s for PTO. Clean title.”
This CJ-5 is worth a look. The tail gate has rust. I can’t tell if the floors do.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/622725535699108/
“67 Jeep CJ5 Runs and drives well. Has low and high range 4 wheel drive. Frame is solid and straight. Needs body work or a new tub. Comes with a tow bar”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
This might be worth a look.
“1942 Ford/Willys Jeep. Tub is a ford script. Not sure if the top was homemade or factory. Has a split front windsheild. Parts only, no motor. parts shown in picture come with it. No title, bill of sale only. Pickup only.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
The headlight bezels might hit at this being a CJ-V35U, but it also is a pretty big mish-mash of parts. There must be a good story behind this creation. Unfortunately, there is no description provided.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1247561359054193
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
This modified CJ-6 has a rare Koenig hardtop with the “barn doors”.
“1964 Jeep CJ6a. Very rare. Konig removable hard top, oddfire V6, SM465 four speed manual with low, twin stick Dana 20 with low gear set, Dana 44s with 4.10 and lockers, 37” Goodyear MTRs with double headlock rims and matching spare. Very solid.”
This is a project with some of the work completed. This pic below is pre-disassembly.

It’s rare to see a Blue Star hardtop on a jeep for sale anymore.

“1951 Jeep Willys · Other_body_style · Driven 42,000 mile”
Seller will sell just the hardtop or the entire jeep (for $4500).
https://portland.craigslist.org/clc/pts/d/beavercreek-1965-jeep-cj5-hard-top/7449667121.html
“I bought this jeep it came with this hardtop. Fiberglass top with steel sides and doors.
A few dents and little rust cracked glass but looks to be serviceable
Stored near Olympia WA.”
Appears in good shape.
https://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/pts/d/bremerton-hardtop-for-flat-fender-jeep/7442476501.html
“Artic Hard top is currently on a cj2a its in good condition could use a paint job. These are getting hard to find that are not rusted out this one is made of aluminum. Insulated and very warm for those winter outings. Note jeep not for sale just top.”
This won’t last long. It’s got a Kelly hardtop.

“NO TITLE”
UPDATE: This was previously listed in Newport Beach in late 2021 for $20k. It’s now listed at Lake Arrowhead for less. (pics from previous post, as the jeep looks the same).
(11/11/2021) The small-windowed Koenig hardtop looks to be from the late 1940s.
https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/d/lake-arrowhead-1946-jeep-willys-cj2-4×4/7446344891.html
“Rare 1946 CJ-2A Willys Jeep Includes trailer 4 cyl Ford engine w/360 miles 3 speed 4WD Grandfather bought it new in 1946! Restored and stored indoors Straight clean body Fun to drive!!”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3500.
(10/31/2021) This is a non runner. It might have a Porter & Reed hardtop.

“1947 Willys CJ2A Jeep. Has the Go Devil 4 cylinder engine. Engine turns over. Doesn’t run but with a little work I’m sure it would. Manual 3 speed transmission. The steering box is really stiff, Its a simple box and will probably need torn apart and rebuilt. It has the really hard to find full cab. I have the passenger side window in the back that is intact. Just needs put back in. Also has a snow plow that is powered by the PTO on the Jeep. Clean Idaho title in hand. This Jeep is a project but they are hard to find this complete and in this condition. Its a great base for a restoration. That was my plan but I have too many projects and no time as it is. $4500 OBO. Let me know if you have any other questions!”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/19/2018) This one was purchased out of Clovis. You can see the ad from 2013 here.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/579368560101029
“1953 Willys Jeep. Professional restoration done in Clovis California. In great shape. $3000 custom top. Has power steering straight body and ghost flames. Chevy v6 engine firm on price that is the low. Please no story tellers tire kickers or lookers..”
This pretty stock CJ-2A includes a Sears/Meyers hardtop.
https://www.facebook.com/commerce/listing/2028930250600492
“For sale is 1946 Willys CJ-2A serial number 94602. The jeep retains all of its factory frame and body tags as well as the original engine and drivetrain. The jeep has a valid NC title, the engine turns over freely and the trans and tcase shift through the gears properly. The body is in good shape overall for its age, saved by the top and being stored indoors. The areas that need attention are shown in the photos. This 2A is a wonderful example of a survivor and will make someone a great driver and/or restoration project.
Apparently, the top wasn’t chopped like I previously thought? After looking at this top for comparison http://www.ewillys.com/2020/09/02/meyer-cj-6-hardtop-livingston-mt-1500/, it still looks a little chopped?
If the body is in good shape, this may be worth the price. This is only for the body and hardtop.

“1958 Willy’s Jeep Body and glass only.!!!!!! Started 4″ chop new smoked glass and gaskets $800. No trade’s. Has no Title. No drivers door. Meyer steel top.”
Marty shared this customized CJ-6. He confirmed this was built in Pennsylvania. Both rear axles are drive axles, though one new carrier bearing is needed. The large side windows suggest the Meyer hardtop was modified, too.
https://twintiers.craigslist.org/cto/d/coudersport-1974-jeep-cj-6×6/7433296490.html
“his is a 74 CJ5 extended to include a third axle. Runs rough at the moment but drives amazingly well. It is powered by a 79 small block 350 which makes this Jeep scream down the road. Very well built all original look steel interior and exterior no fiberglass. Has a stretched and modified steel hard top wrapped in vinyl and a steel half cap included but not in great shape. Also includes the tan bikini top for warmer driving. In the opinion of mine and others (mechanics) this is a very well built rig and can be left as is with minor work and still a one of one head turner in the world!! Needs a carrier bearing on the mid axle rebuilt to drive the rear axle and with that is a live three axle Jeep. Will consider trading for; Scouts, Range Rover, Land Rover, Land cruisers 43,45,or 47 Ford Bronco, Jeep CJ6, CJ8-Scrambler, pretty much anything old cool and definitely 4×4!”
Not sure about the price given it needs a tank installed, but there’s a lot of stock CJ-5 here for early CJ-5 lovers.
https://huntsville.craigslist.org/cto/d/hazel-green-1961-willys-jeep/7436796917.html
“1961 Willys jeep, 4 cylinder,3 speed. Fuel tank cleaned and lined, needs installed, big winch. Been sitting for a while but will start and run. Posting for my father-in-law. He ca answer any questions.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $14,500.
(12/12/2020) The cargo bed floor has been replaced with a flat sheet of metal. The front floors look repaired. This has a capstan winch on the front.
“I FOUND THIS JEEP IN CONNECTICUT AND BOUGHT IT FROM THE 3RD OWNER. IT HAS A 12 VOLT SYSTEM WITH A STARTER BUTTON ON THE DASH. ALSO HAS A DIRECTION SYSTEM WITH 4 WAY FLASHERS. ALL LIGHTS WORK. IT HAS HAD A STEEL PLATE WELDED TO THE BACK FLOOR AND THE SIDES ARE A BIT BEAT UP. THE WINDSHEID HAS BEEN REPAIRED AND IS NOW ONE PIECE. ITS PAINTED IN IT’S ORIGINAL COLOR PASTURE GREEN.
