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 .
Craig spotted this hardtop. The seller says it fits a 2A, so it won’t fit a CJ-5. Looks like a Sears Deluxe model to me.
“This is a Sears winter top for aWillys Cj2a might fit Cj5 , no doors”
https://scranton.craigslist.org/pts/d/willys-cj2a-winter-top/6487184601.html
Could be a good price.
“Factory made aluminum top came off cj2a. I believe brand is arctic. Good shape. all glass is good except for door glass which was broken when fell over in storage.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
(12/01/2017) “This is an original Air Force Jeep used to shuttle crew to and from flight lines. Also used for taxi-ing incoming and outgoing planes.
This vehicle still has the original 24 volt system, black out lights all work, Original canvas seats. Original engine, transmission and transfer case work just fine. New brakes all around, new tires, rebuilt carburetor. This is not a restored vehicle, this is “as found”. The side windows are roll up crank and work fine. The numbers painted on the door match the numbers on the dash data plate which also match the number on the chassis data plate. Only issue still remaining is it needs a good alignment. Have clean title but is not yet licensed.”
I’m not convinced this is a ’46. It’s unusual to see a Bobcat fiberglass hood this far east.
“46 Willies. Motor and tranny is in bed for it.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
That top looks in good shape.
“Near perfect oldie1959 willy cj5 jeep 4×4. There are only a few of these original cj5s left. The motor is the F-head 135 cid. It runs perfect. The 4×4 drive line and hubs are perfect. It still has the original “sears” aluminum top from when it was new. (oops! rims arn’t original). This is a completely rust free specimen including under seat fuel tank and tool well. The windshield should be replaced. The wipers and some dash wiring and speedo needs attention. Located in Hamilton Mt.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5000.
Looks like this has a set of Watson Hubs.
“All original early CJ5. Rebuilt F134 Hurricane 4 cylinder engine, Less than 1000 miles on engine. Have all reciepts. 12 volt system. Factory hard top with good glass, roll up windows. Reupolstered seats, good heater core, fan works. Good brakes, new knuckle seals, locking hubs, saginaw steering box. No rust in floor pans, body is solid must see to appreciate.

Has updated engine. That might be a Porter & Reed hardtop, but I am not certain.
“Starts right up, runs good, one owner sense 1963, has a 1967 4cyl overhead cam, seat belts, removeable top.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
Has the Cab Enclosure top. Has some other updates.
“Selling as is for now but price will go up as I get the few things fixed on it that it needs. Has original running gear expect for the engine which now is a Buick 225 odd fire. Also has an overdrive on the transfercase. Needs a little wiring work for tail lights, electric fan and thermostat. Rollbar needs to be bolted in and so does the passenger seat. Needs some bondo on the body. Needs new starter and power steering gear box. Comes with a few extras windshield, frame, tailgate, hood, 2 frames axles front and rear and another title but it’s listed salvage.”
It’s been sitting for an unknown period, but seller indicates he had it running at one point.
“I have a 1943 Willy’s mb. It belonged to my uncle for many years. He has gone through most of it over the years. I took it over and got it running again and now it just sits. I have other jeeps that get the attention so it’s time to let someone else enjoy this little jewel. I currently have no paperwork on the jeep but it has been out of the system for over 20 years. Would require a inspection at the dmv. Jeep runs and drives good just needs minor attention. Top not included”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
Looks like a good price.
“Willys cj5 plow jeep.

If the Koenig top is in decent shape then there may be value here.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4250.
Not quite “unmolested”, but pretty close. It appears to be a “Lefty”. The top is interesting. Whether custom or dealer offered I couldn’t say.
“A True Survivor and Garage Find. Everything is original and unmolested. From the estate of my father, Gordon Churchwell, he purchased it new and registered until the mid 80’s. Afterwards it was used around the farm for recreational use. In addition, there are several photos showing a rare back seat, fog lamps, a mesh grill, a tow bar, original heater, the original canvas doors, spare tire, and other misc parts. The top he made from marine plywood and fiberglass coated as he spent his years in retirement restoring antique wooden boats. It can be easily removed. It isn’t currently running and will need restorative work. All items pictured is included in the sale. Pick up only and transport is responsibility of buyer..”
Runs, drives, but could use new tires.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500. This might be a Station Wagon Bodies hardtop: http://www.ewillys.com/2012/08/10/letter-about-woodies-by-station-wagons-inc-on-ebay/
(10/29/2016) This has a funky hardtop (and a flat tire).
“1946 Jeep Willys CJ-2A, perfect winter project for restoration. Extra parts including: motor, trans and other parts included, see pictures. ”
UPDATE: Thanks to Bill for correcting me.
There is some value here given the Meyer hardtop, but not clear how much.
“Pre 59 willys m38a1. Im assuming this is military or dod use jeep as it has the place for a shovel under the hood a 4in fuel filler and the compartment on the cowl section does open. What i do know is it has the dana 18 twin stick tcase which is worth a good bit by itself. Also has a t90 3speed, dana 25 front axel with dana 44 rear. Also has a hurricane f head engine that turns over by hand. Lots of new parts inside the truck. Engine and tcase were built in 77. I dont see this taking alot to be running and going again. Located in eclectic price is negotiable in person.”

https://baltimore.craigslist.org/cto/d/1962-willys-jeep-with-plow/6456904401.html
Mike shared this CJ-5 .It’s ago a few unusual mods. At first I thought the hardtop was a Sears Deluxe (and the doors appear to be Sears), but from the inside it’s got cracks everywhere, suggesting it is fiberglass. Anyone have experience with these tops? Is it some type of interior insulation that is cracked?
“This listing is for the 1960 Willy Jeep shown. It has the arctic hard top, upgraded wheels and brakes, and an 84″ snow plow. It runs and operates as it should. The speedometer is new, true mileage unknown.”

“Buick V6, 3 speed, Toyo 295/70/R17, Ultra rims, axle lift, runs strong, heater core needs repaired.
It is a beast.. ”
https://lewiston.craigslist.org/cto/d/rare-jeep-cj6/6456131455.html
It’s a crazy price. That said, it does have a nice example of a Blue Star hardtop and what appear to be late model Free Lock hubs.

Give the Meyer (?) hard top and dual? PTO, this could be a good price.

It doesn’t run at the moment, but there still may be some value here. Has a Koenig hardtop.
“Just testing the waters, I have a CJ3A with plow. Everything works on the plow just needs belt. Its all original, three speed manual, 6v system. Needs some work to get it going, hasn’t ran in a little over a year. Tub isn’t perfect and will need some things. Also will need leaf spring, radiator fix or new one and some wiring for lights. It HAS heat! motor was completely rebuilt in the 90s and have paperwork for everything that has been done to it. Mainly used for plowing and light woods cruising over the years. No title but there is no need for one. Its old enough”
Given the Meyer hardtop (has one dent in the back), there might be some value here?
