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: **SOLD** Was $500.
It will need glass and door hinges.
“I have a Koenig Hardtop for CJ5 or M38A1.
I have both doors, complete.
It will need new glass.
The only thing missing that I can see are the portions of the door hinges that go on the jeep itself.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $3950.
This 2A has had an interesting life.
“1946 Willys Jeep. CJ-2a. Engine intact but has not been run for about 25 years. 55,000 original miles. Transmission rebuilt about 1961 with low added miles. Body exterior not rusted out. Few minor dents. One rust-out section in floor under passenger seat. Can be easily patched. Heavy welded steel top with windows and 3 doors. Tow bar included. Bolt or weld to heavy front bumper. Title old but valid. $3950.
Owned since 1962. Towed to Washington State from Upper Michigan in 1965. Kept in garages entire ownership time. Purchased from Kimberly-Clark Corp where it was used as a back roads timber cruising vehicle by present owner and other foresters in Upper Michigan and Northern Minnesota. Prior to woods use, the Jeep functioned as a tug for the corporate DC-3 aircraft in Neenah Wisconsin.”
Jim is selling his CJ-5. It’s got a ventilating windshield, overdrive, and a Meyer hardtop.
“A 1959 CJ-5. Has a Ford 302 under the hood. 3 speed. Needs a radiator and a battery. Has a Warn overdrive, rare ventilating windshield, hardtop, and 70/30 front seat. Shocks, leaf springs, alternator, and starter has been replaced within the last 100 miles. I hate to sell, but I have no time to finish. Replaced the engine that was in it from a 1971 Mustang. The ford 221 v-8 from a 1962 Fairlane that I removed, was worn out and smoking. Any and all parts I have will go with the sale. I have always wanted to do a full restoration on this one, but work keeps me away from home 11 months a year. It has been sitting under cover for 4 years. Needs minor work to run again.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900.
The doors and top looks to be Meyer. The rear door is custom.
“1974 CJ7 army jeep number 264 has Regional dog tags .motor was rebuilt has proximately 1500 miles on it. Jeep runs good has locking hubs custom steel bumpers front and rear new floors custom aluminum back door All Steel body”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $450.
Appears worth a look.
“I believe this to be an early accessory or aftermarket aluminum hardtop setup for a Jeep CJ2A style jeep Willys. As found , will need lever work and new glass but not corroded”
The red Koenig full body hardtop looks complete, but the white half cab is a mix of a Kelly top (appears correct for a 2A) and Meyer doors (which are only designed to fit CJ-5s/6s/M-38A1s).

https://plattsburgh.craigslist.org/cto/d/1965-jeep-tuxcedo-mark1v/6369403255.html
That looks to be a Cab Enclosure hardtop, which means it requires the vertical windshield.

This CJ-3A has a CJ-7 hardtop reshaped to fit a CJ-3A. It looks well done. The doors are well don’t, too. Thanks to Gary for spotting it.
Listed as a 1961, the serial number suggests this is a September 1964. It has a Meyer hardtop.

Engine’s been rebuilt.
“Rebuilt motor. New clutch. Hard top. Needs work, but have lots of the parts new to put on.”
UPDATE: Here’s another one of these rare brochures for sale. Thanks to Bill Norris and Derek Redmond for the extra pics. This brochure has been for sale on the same eBay pager for four years. Its on sale at the moment.
This unusual fiberglass hardtop was created by the Reinforced Plastics Corp. I have yet to see one in the wild. Two journal articles (Chemical Week 1957, Volume 81 and National Defense Transportation Journal 1957, Volumes 13-14) both have announcements for the new top, pegging its inception around mid-1957. Unfortunately, Google will only provide snipped views of these University of Michigan scanned journals. The date of these journals suggests the lister of this brochure is probably wrong about the 1955 date for the brochure.

Seller believes the Koenig hardtop top came off of a DJ, but that top wouldn’t have fit the wider windshield of the CJ-5.
“Been slowly fixing this cj5 up over the last year or so.
Recently replaced-
All fluids
Axle seals
Greased wheel bearings
Brake master cylinder
All brake slave cylinders
All brake shoes
Brake flex lines
Ignition switch
Tail lights
Distributor cap, rotor, points and leads
Spark plugs
Coolant hoses
Fan belt
Installed delco 145amp alternator.
And more I have forgotten about!
The original f134 motor runs well and I have driven the jeep around the block a few times. Still needs some work to be roadworthy but not much. Body is in good shape with very little rust.
Has a interesting Hardtop and doors that I suspect came off a dj5
Vehicle is fitted with a Ramsey pto winch and PTO.
Vehicle needs new rear leaf springs and the parking brake fixed before it will be roadworthy. Also the fuel tank really needs to be flushed and sealed.”

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2000.
“Here is a good Jeep project. Engine will run, not seized. Hate to see it sit here. Has everything it needs to be put back together to run except a battery. Mostly all original. Some newer parts include; fuel line, fuel pump, and ignition. Has M38A1 radiator and hood. Custom made tow hitch. The floors are completely shot in front but still has original floor in the rear. Even has original spare tire support baffle. in the rear fender well.
I made my own spare tire carrier. The dashboard is not cut up. Rare aluminum Sears Deluxe Arctic Hardtop with original glass. No glass for the doors. The top is full of dents, but still serves its purpose. Comes with standard low back seats. Previous owner put Toyota lap seat belts in it. I also will include original Willys front fenders and new aftermarket fenders. And old ford rims and tires if you want period correct look, just have to put inner tube in one tire. Also can include a kaiser era tailgate. Selling as whole, cash only, no trades. $2500 obo willing to negotiate on price”
