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 .

“Partially restored Willys CJ3a. Have Title for vehicle. Started restoration several years ago but it can be someone else’s prize. Many new parts already installed.

Craig shared this one. I wouldn’t say this is an “easy” restoration, but sounds like it may have a good engine.
“1963 Willys Jeep with 27,6999 actual original miles on newly bought engine. 4WD, heavy transfer case, 4 cycle, complete and all original. Tires hold air. Last run and registered in 1989. Easy restoration. Please, serious inquiries only. Located in mid-Hudson River Valley of New York State.”

“1948 jeep motor runs smooth. needs clutch. I have many exta parts. rebuilt motor, transfer case, transmission, axle. who knowns what. This one has the winch on front on front, driven by driveshaft, pto on rear”
Runs and drives.
“I have a 43 willys that has been in the family for a long time. It is time for me to let it go. It runs with a stock flathead. Most things have been gone through and replaced over the years. It runs and drives great. It has a hard top with extra windshield to make it all work. It needs a few minor things. It hasn’t been registered in 30 years.”

“The serial number matches to ones manufactured in 1943. By what I can tell online, many army jeeps received a year designation when the were sold to the public, not when they were actually made.
This jeep was purchased by my Great Uncle in 1945 when he returned home from WWII. It has been in the family since. He and his brothers only ever used it to plow snow (there is a plow included if you want it).
The white top is a Korean War era top that they added later. 9,000 miles. Not a typo. It wasn’t driven much. (I’ll change it to the exact mileage later – I don’t have that info on me right now).
I HAVE THE TITLE. I know this is very important and many people don’t have the title for a jeep of this era. It costs $500 to replace a title.

Has a Boston Top. Sure looks like there’s value here.
“Old jeep willys was running last year but now sits parts only vehicle best offer calls only”
https://nh.craigslist.org/pts/6182254244.html
I thought this top should have sliding doors, but it looks like these are hinged. Custom?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
Seller claims this is a Meyers half-top in the title of the ad. There were both Meyer and Meyers hardtops made. Meyer is the better known hardtop seller. The only documented evidence of a Meyers top is on CJ-3B Page (at bottom of this page). It looks similar, but not quite like, a Sears aluminum half top. The doors are different, as the Sears top has curves, where the Meyers has angles. The Meyers door also has a bend near the bottom that Sears does not. Based on the pics, I believe this to be a Sears hardtop rather than a Meyers (and it does not look like a Meyer, in case that’s what the seller meant).
“I have a very nice 1/2 top for an early cj5. This top has the rounded corner for that vintage look. This has a little surface rust but has no rot. This is not all banged up and would be an easy install. I have both door that have a slide up and down window. One window is plexi glass. Use it like it is for that old look or restore. This is complete with working latches. The panel that goes from the top to the floor is missing. This is a simple fabrication that I can help with.
I bought this to put on my Willys cj3b with different doors. It is too nice too cut it up to make it fit so I went a different route.
I have been working on these old jeeps since 1983 so I know what it is and how hard they are to find in this condition. I do not want to waste anyone’s time so please ask questions. I will send any more specific photos you wish. Asking $400. Save your low offers please.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
Jim shared this ad. The Meyer hardtop looks worth $500 by itself.
“65 cj with metal top, no motor, pretty good condition given the year. Would be a nice project. 500$ or best offer cash in hand gets it. Would have loved to have made it mine but moving can’t take with. Has solid roll cage as well. A true anitique but still in good shape, was a mail carrier.”
Seller won’t sell to someone outside Washington State.
“Running driving 1960 Willys. Removable hard top with steel doors. The CJ is stock with an f head 4 cyl. 3 speed. Permanent plates. Comes with a solid spare tub. The tub on it is pretty rusty. Comes with a set of stock steel wheels a spare tow bar rear hitch and a couple other small spares. Would make a fun little hunting rig. You can fix it up or you just enjoy it as it is with all of it’s “patina” for as we used to call it RUST. Please keep your calls and texts to decent hours. No I don’t need help selling it no I will not return out-of-state inquiries.”

I don’t know anything about this style of hardtop.
“Full fiberglass hard top for a 1955-1975 round top Jeep CJ5 or M38A1. Is in really good condition. Only part that isn’t good is the rear window is cracked (as pictured) but could easily be fixed with plexiglas. Great addition to any CJ or M38A1.”
https://spokane.craigslist.org/pts/6185284559.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
Has a Meyer hardtop.
“1963 Willy’s Jeep. Clear title. Original running 4 cylinder hurricane engine.
Rare aluminum Myers top with doors. Needs floor. Have seats. Have new gas tank.
Must sell!! $750 obo.”
The sellers of this jeep are very interested in seeing it go to someone who will restore it. It’s got a rare Boston Top that’s in good condition. Contact Mark Pinel at (970) 201-7673 or MarkandLisaPinel@gmail.com if interested.
“It is partially restored (Brakes, Suspension, Seats Re-upolstered), 33,618 original miles. My Dad bought it brand new Dec. 13, 1947 and I have the original bill of sale. It starts easily and holds excellent oil pressure, never had the head off but is in need of carb re-build. I have all the original equipment including governor, PTO, all seats and original aluminum removable hard top with exception of the snow plow. I also have a wide array of spare parts including color-coded cloth wireing harness, vacuum and electric WW motors, ignition parts, complete exhaust system, etc, everything that one would need to put it into first order condition. But it needs to go to a legitimate restorer who can do it right. The engine & VIN numbers on the Bill of Sale match the Jeep and data tags.
Starts easily but the carbureator needs a rebuild as the jets are so clogged up it needs nearly full choke to run. Among the spare parts is a rebuild kit or two for the carb. The transmission shifts well as does the transfer case and the PTO case. The speedometer cable broke during the last few years my Dad had the Jeep but he only was using it around their home, it was not even registered so no meaningful miles since. I have a replacement speedometer cable. The mileage is shown on one of the photos as 33,618.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500
(02/09/2017) Just how many of these custom hardtop flatties are there?
“Willys CJ2 like you have never seen before. Has mid 1940s Chevy cab grafted by a coachworks company to a CJ frame. 4 wheel drive 3 speed manual. This has just been gone through mechanically and has been painted OD Green bedliner after being taken down to bare metal. 31″ tires. A fun vehicle for hunters or campers. Can tow behind vehicle.”
It’s a later model 3B tub.
“CJ-3B body tub and top $650. The tub has some rust and would require some patch panels. The top is pretty rough, but might be salvageable.”
https://columbia.craigslist.org/pts/6167414472.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800. Sears hardtop.
Needs some work.
“Selling my 1947 Jeep Cj 2A, 4 cyl. L head motor. I have owned this Jeep for a long time but I lately I just don’t have the time to fix it up and use it. The engine smokes oil but it runs and drives nice, the frame is solid but it needs brakes and an exhaust.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
(06/04/2017) There seems to be some parts value here. It has a Studebaker-type overdrive.
“I have a 1957 Willys CJ6 with hard top,
It doesn’t look pretty, but it is basically complete and it does run and drive (with a little help).
It is no where near road worthy, but it shows it’s all there.
There is rust, but it is restorable.
It is a CJ6 (just like CJ5, but 20” longer in the middle).
It has a small block Chevy v8 but I do not know what size it is, never looked. It has a T90 3speed transmission, a Dana 18 transfer case with a factory overdrive attached to the rear. It is NOT the warn overdrive, it is a Studebaker overdrive with cable engagement and lock out solenoids.
The engine runs, very smooth and very quiet. it can and will drive up onto a trailer on its own power. Brakes really don’t work though.
Stock front and rear differentials, D25 front and D44 rear.
60/40 front seats, no rear seat.
4 old dry rotted stock type tires that will hold air long enough to move it around.
It has a Koenig full length hard top with some rust here and there, but again it is easily restorable. The rear hatch is missing.
The top is off and disassembled in the back. All pieces that you see in the pics are there.
