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 .
Here’s a great shot of an unusual wooden hardtop for a CJ-2A. The wood appears knotless, too.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000
(03/29/2010) The top in particular looks really nice.
“This Jeep had an off the frame complete restoration done. It has the original 4-cyclinder engine, new transmission, and a rebuilt transfer case. Also, has new brakes, hoses, springs arched, radiator, and carburetor. The original lights and horn are 12-volt. The Jeep does have lock-out hubs. Jeep is winter green with black interior seats. Jeep has the original working heater and metal Koenig top with doors. Jeep has approximately 300 miles on it since restoration. This Jeep is in excellent original condition with new tires and is ready to go”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800
(06/16/2010) This has a good looking half cab It appears to have the wood slats on the hood — I think I’ve now seen several of these with wood slats in Montana. I’m not sure why that is.

Rare 1953 Willys CJ3, Runs Great, New Tires, Goes Anywhere, Hate to sell but need the money”
UPDATE: Was $600. **SOLD**
“Not too long ago I purchased a 1943 Ford GPW Jeep and it came with this hardtop already on it. I got it from a farm in eastern Washington near Yakima and was used as a cold weather top. Since I am in the process in restoring the Jeep, I’m not going to put the hardtop back on my Jeep, so it has to go! The top is from a late 1920’s to early 1930’s Ford, Chevy, Dodge or Buick. It has suicide doors, original rear view mirror and a windshield wiper motor (see photos). The body is sliver in color with red primer in places. It has a hole in the roof which is covered by a plywood board, which that whole area would have been cloth at one time. The windows on the doors are plexiglass and the rest of the glass windows are cracked bedsides the one on the driver’s side. Very restorable with minimal rust and no bad cancer areas.”
Looks good.

You can easily turn your CJ-2A into a Wagon! Just follow the easy turn-my-cj2a-into-a-station-wagon-kit from Puffer Engineering. I spotted this image via a British site that linked me to oldcarandtruckpictures.com. Strangely, when I go to oldcarandtruckpictures.com’s jeep area, I can’t locate the image. The web works in mysterious ways!
I tried to learn more about the manufacturer, but searches on ‘Puffer Engineering’ revealed nothing, to me anyway, other than this image.
The top sure looks nice.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Lindsey noted this might be a CJ-V35, given the hood cut-out and the tow hooks.
“This was licensed in 2009. It was parked when owner had a stroke. Motor is out of a 45 and was rebuilt as his sons highschool project. I’m helping a disabled gentleman who still owns this. Make an offer via text or email.”
Brett spotted this. It’s pretty rough. Lots of pics.
“About 5 years ago it was driven around the farm Motor was rebuilt in 1974. I’m helping a disabled gentleman who still owns this and doesn’t know how to use a computer. Text or email with an offer.”

This includes a PTO and snow plow. Looks like a good price. I haven’t see too many of the Bonanza II hardtops.
“I have a ’61 willys jeep that needs some TLC. A project that never got started. It has an inline 4 cyl, manual tranny with hi/low range, pto winch and a snow plow lift(I still have the plow if interested). A little bubble of rust under the driver door, frame looks good.

It runs and includes a plow. The hardtop looks in good shape too.
“1961 Willys / CJ Jeep – 4 speed manual transmission, factory 4 cyl. eng., mileage unknown.
Runs but not well, might need a carb rebuild / tune or something, As you see it is how I bought it, I bought last year to use as plow truck for my property but am sick of tinkering with it I just dont know enough to fix it. Has Factory plow set up on it (works), the engine does not knock, has newer clutch, tires are ok, 4wd works, transmission seems good.
Interior is pretty much gone, body has rust, not the prettiest thing but parts wise and mechanically there is alot of good value here. It needs brakes, battery, radiator, maybe carb rebuild, knowledge and some time. Would be great for parts or with effort a good plow truck
Email me for contact info or any questions, thanks.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200 without the V8
(11/13/2010) That top looks like an old Sears & Roebuck Aluminum top, rather than a custom top.
“This is a old military jeep that someone has put an old ford flathead V8 in.Has some rust issues and a funkey homemade top.No title but the same guy has owned it since the beginning of time,comes with bill of sale.”

It is rusty and rough, but appears complete.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000. Might have a Porter & Reed hardtop.
(09/29/2010) I can’t tell much about it from the pics. It appears pretty stock.
“The jeep is in fairly good condition i cleaned it up a lot with the power washer. Needs a battery and tune up and should start rite up, it was running last time it was parked but was sitting in a shed for a couple years. It still uses a 6v battery. I was in the process of restoration but i just dont have the time and money to do it. Is a great restoration vehicle for someone thats not in tobad of shape. It still has the winch on the vehicle and i have the door pieces and other bars that came with it. I also have the original title for the jeep.”
