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 .
Seller plans to scrap this if he can’t give it away.

“I have for sale a willys cj2a. I is 90% complete, the engine is missing the head and some other misc parts. It has a Metro brand hardtop on it. I do not have a title but have the vin tag.”
Email Ted Jordan at Willysted @ charter.net (removed the spaces around the @) or call 860-428-3265 with any questions.
“For sale is a Willys Jeep M38 /CJ2A Arctic Top, Windshield Frame and Doors. Over all pretty decent condition, with all glass good except for rear hatch glass. All insulation still intact,as is original Tag. Windshield frame is very nice as are the doors with the exception of some of the window frame metal needed some work.
Ive been told these tops will also fit CJ2A model jeeps as well as possibly CJ3A models using the Windshield frame that come with top. Anyone have any info on this ill be happy to comment on this and ad it to listing. These Tops look really cool when mounted and with a little work this one would be a great addition to an M38 restoration, driver or Winter Wheeler.
If you do a search on Willys Arctic Tops you can see some great pics of this type of Top installed. Located in Storrs CT , and I will be happy to hold top until new owner is able to come get it. Could possibly ship through Fastenal but not sure as there blue line for shipping is down right now, so might have to be a You Ship type of deal or come and get it. $650 OBO”
It’s rough; it might be more of a parts top.

“Willys or early cj roof with hatch . Repairable or parts glass good , needs some riveting. Trades considered, delivery may be an option”
The cream colored CJ-5 might have some Hub Lok hubs like these, but I can’t tell for sure.

“2 jeep Exter engine extra black out headlights and tail lights”
Looks like it is all there (see more examples of this hardtop).
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2652166735105041/
“Unknown manufacturer. Fits the 1976 and up CJ-5. Top and glass in good shape. Didn’t fit my CJ with my current non factory roll bar, so I’m going a different route”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $25,000.
I don’t see any of the APU equipment left, so while it’s a rare jeep, it’s also no longer an APU jeep. I don’t see anyone paying the asking price for it. That said, it’s got some interesting mods, including a custom lengthened rear cargo area, a custom spare tire well and holder, what appears to be the Hudson steering mod, and a custom modified top (shortened CJ-6 top perhaps). This also utilizes doors from a late model CJ-5 hardtop by Kelly. The rear portion may even be a modified Kelly CJ-6 top.
“Up for sale is a CJ3A Willys APU Jeep .
This APU Jeep was built for the military Navy and Air Force to start jets by the Valentine Welding Co. they made a total of 75, this is one of two know to still exist, and the only one with a windshield and top .
The newer F head engines were placed in and a custom hood made by the manufacturer
Asking 25k”
Could be a good price on this Koenig-manufactured, stock hardtop.

“1960 willy’s cj5 hard top with doors”
Might be a good price.
https://maine.craigslist.org/pts/d/shapleigh-willys-hard-top/7113187233.html
“Hard top off of Willy’s.for parts or repair with doors.”
No indication that doors are included.
https://vermont.craigslist.org/pts/d/hydeville-1956-jeep-willys-hard-top/7114079365.html
UPDATE: Better quality scans have replaced the poorer images.
This rare 1-page Shenco sales brochure demonstrates that the Cab Enclosure Hardtop was available outside the military, which I hadn’t known. This does explain why we’ve seen this version of a top on some non-military vehicles.
The appears in good condition.
https://siouxfalls.craigslist.org/pts/d/brookings-willys-jeep-top/7112830731.html
“Used top and doors that came off a 59 Willys”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $12,500
(09/02/2019) Is that a heater between the seats?

“1948 CJ2A 4 wheel drive frame off restoration just about everything rebuilt except motor and transmission and transfer case low mileage bought from original owner new tires brakes paint mil specs cold weather top runs good top speed 60 it prefers 45 call with questions”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800.
Robin noticed that this doesn’t have a battery box; yet it does have all the other characteristics of an M-38A1 body (and does not have the CJ-5 body branding). Anyone have any thoughts as to why?
“Has hard top that can be removed new tired and brakes.”
I think this is a cab enclosure hardtop, but can’t tell for sure.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/459361344973304/
“Very well used hardtop with doors which came on an M38 project I bought. No rear hatch door.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7000.
Ranger Bob suggests this could have been a 1963 that could have been on the production line when things switched the 1964 model (see comments).
Though listed as a 1964, I imagine it is earlier (maybe 1963) given the Willys stampings. It could use some body work and paint. Still, it’s hard to find a 1960’s 3B for sale.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1417200568485274/
“Putting my 1964 Willys CJ3B up for sale. I’ve had a lot of work done to it in the last few weeks as you can see from the photos. These are not getting easier to find and to have one that has a hardtop and is in good condition with all original drivetrain and low miles is nearly impossible, especially on the east coast. I will NOT respond to any pre-made Facebook messenger messages. May be interested in trades depending on what you have. Please don’t waste my time. Price is $7,500 obo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
The engine is from Kaiser-Frazer, so isn’t original to the jeep. I believe the disassembled photos are the latest ones.
“”46″ Jeep CJ2A , 1st year available to for civilian purchase. All original parts to re- assemble. Was going to do a frame off restoration but am going a different way. Comes with a top, doors, and plow. Has the original supersonic 4 cylinder motor. Currently sitting in my garage out of the weather. Would be a good restoration or an opportunity to add an SMC motor to make an off road vehicle. Do not have a title so I would supply a bill of sale to acquire one.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $525.
Seller believes this was a CJ-5 hardtop at one point, but I don’t see any mods that would indicate that.
“I have a Willy’s jeep hardtop for sale. The top bolts to any flat fender jeep with a MB/GPW windshield frame. (Excluding CJ 3B) The top started off as a early aluminum CJ5 top. it has been highly modified to fit the early Jeeps.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.
(04/06/2020) Could be some value here.
“Project. Running Flat head last summer.”
UPDATE: **Sold** Was $3000.
(03/23/2020) The rims appear to have little paddles added to them (stock?)?
“This is a project Jeep. It’s a rare Marine Corps radio Jeep. It’s been modified. It has a Buick V-6 225, 160 HP engine. It has a vintage Warren electric winch mounted to a heavy duty bumper, oversize tires on deep dish rims and an after market removable cab. It has a complete, all new brake system, new aluminum radiator, all new wiring harness and lots of extra parts including a brand new gas tank and all new gauges. If you’re looking for a project this is the Jeep for you.”
