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 .
This 4-page brochure from D.L. Beck Manufacturing included a separate price list that dates the brochure around August 1, 1955. Curiously, the “Econo” hardtop was no longer featured in the brochure (see a 1954 example brochure at the bottom of this post). Apparently that “Econo” line of hardtops wasn’t good enough after all (see letter at the bottom that explains the reference).

(07/26/2020) I wish the pics were clearer. I doubt this is an M-38. This lacks a fuel inlet on the side. The hardtop looks to be a modified Porter & Reed hardtop, but I can’t tell for sure.

“51 military Jeep four wheel drive works runs and drives has a plow that works needs a battery”

“Pretty solid taken care of”

(03/01/2020) I suspect (hope?) the price is just a place holder.

“For Sale as is. Needs a lot of love but it’s a nice jeep. It comes with the snow blade. We did have it running a couple of times but with my grandfathers sickness we cant afford to keep it and work on it. We don’t currently have the key for it but we’re trying to find it so it may need a new ignition.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $160.
Someone out to be able to use these.
“We have some metal doors for a 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2a for sale. This is for the two front doors only, the top is no longer available. The doors are in good condition for their age, one of the window glass is broken and needs to be replaced.”
Listed as a 1947, this may be a modified MB or GPW.

“7. 47 Willy’s flat fender jeep w/ Buick V6”
Looks in pretty good shape.

“Aluminum top, I believes it’s from Sears.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
I’m not sure which hardtop this is.
“Hard top that fits 1950’s Jeeps (M38/38A-1, CJ5). In fair shape. Has suicide doors. Dropped price from $550 to $500.
CASH ONLY.”
Price is negotiable (need restoration). KEMCO was the transition brand name between Beck and Kelly hardtops.

“KEMCO all steel cab and doors for flat fender willys jeeps. This top is made by The Kelly Mfg. Co. The top will need to be restored and is sold as is. May be able to deliver for an additional fee. Price is negotiable.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/01/2020) The principal item is a CJ-3A, but there’s other items here, too.
https://binghamton.craigslist.org/for/d/castle-creek-willys-jeep-lot/7167552318.html
“CJ2 1950 Willy’s Jeep with the following:
. snow plow
. back seat
. original wind shield
. aluminum top
. 16″ bottom land plow with front weight
. complete spare parts jeep
. chassis frame with all running gear
. 10 kw generator powered by willy’s jeep engine
I am the second owner and have had it since 1976. The first owner was my neighbor so I know the complete history. In 1976 I had 90% of the body rebuilt along with an engine overhaul. I used it in the woods so got banged up a little , for years now only for plowing snow. In good mechanical shape burns no oil. Seems this would be a good lot for someone that would refurbish back to original condition or just use as is around your homestead.”
Seller bought this to fix and resale, but doesn’t know what model it is.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3049540501939293/
“Recently purchased/fixing problems to resale Motor.. turns over ! Transmission. Exterior. Interior. Vehical overall seems to be in good condition at this time”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
This is the Koenig made hardtop. This particular one has hinged doors.
“Complete Hardtop and two doors for kaiser willys CJ5 $800 OBO or trade”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
The top looks solid, but could use some cleaning and paint.
“Koenig top with doors from a 1956 Jeep CJ5. All there and in great condition. It has all the glass, only the drivers door glass is cracked. It’s real nice, not all rusty, came off a Colorado Jeep that has been sitting in a barn since 1977. Asking $500 complete. The top is still on the Jeep, it will be removed when I sell it.”
I think this is a Kelly hardtop for a CJ-5 that has a modified windshield that allows installation on a low-hood flat fender.

“Custom hard top, doors and windshield frame for a Willy’s cj2 or cj3A or M38. Custom made with good glass, windshield wipers and rear window wiper, suicide doors and made well. Just need gone. Not going to use anymore!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Maury shared this Kelly hardtop for sale. It looks like it will need some metal work.
“Kelly All-Metal Cab For 1955 – 1975 Willys Jeep CJ-5. Condition is Used. All glass is good with no cracks. The top has surface rust. The doors have rusted through in places on the exterior panels. The door glass is not broken. I am not sure but I think this is a 200 series cab. It was made by Kelly Manufacturing Co. of Charleston, WV. This cab was on a 1959 CJ5. Local pickup only.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

(05/24/2020) Looks like a solid CJ-6.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/903309433442526/
“1971 JEEP CJ6 with Buick 225V6 39k miles Meyers hard top and door windows work glass good I am the second owner. It was originally bought by a lady to use on her horse ranch up in the sierras. I bought it from her estate.

This has a custom cowl storage bin. Seems like a good price, assuming it runs when a batter is connected. It has an odd driver’s seat.
