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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
The body looks a little work.

(06/15/2010) This jeep has seen a few updates.
“1942 Willys off-road jeep. It was converted 3 yrs ago to a Chevy 4.3L V-6, Ford T-18 transmission with sought after 6.32-1 granny gear and Dana 18 transfer case. Axles are a 3/4 ton Dana 44 front with detroit locker and a Dana 60 rear. They have both been completely rebuilt and narrowed with Moser axles and bearings, Heavy duty Tom Woods drive shafts front and rear with a CV style u-joint on rear. This is one of few Willys Jeeps that have been converted to coil spring with front and rear triangulated suspension. It has a awesome, smoothe off road ride with incredible articulation with no bindage. It has dual exhaust, edelbrock carb, power steering, 33” Thornbirds, hydraulic clutch, and a large marine battery. Has a massive 200 amp alternator to run 1000 watts of lights and a Warn 9000 winch with a removable cradle to plug in front and rear. The entire drive line since new only has a couple thousand miles on it and has never been street legal or taken to the beach. This Jeep has only been used in the Winter on a 200 acre deer lease for the past few years and stored inside during the summer. I’m no longer paying the high prices for deer leases and decided to sell my Willy and buy a street legal CJ7. Im firm on the 7000 and if it doesn’t sell, I’ll just convert it to street legal. (979)239-8862 ”

UPDATE **SOLD** Was $2500.
(08/18/2010) It looks like the driver and passenger side entrances have been cut down a bit.
“I have a cool 46 willys jeep. It runs good but needs some tlc and a master cyl. asking 2500.00 or trade ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200
(09/03/2010) This appears in good shape, but I can’t quite tell how good.
“1963 Willys F 170 4X4 6 cylinder, runs great, good shape”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2895
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3700
(09/19/2010) I’m not sure why this is so cheap, but it appears to be a great price.
“DONT MISS THIS ONE! A 1953 WILLYS CJ3B IN EXCELLENT CARED FOR CONDITION! HAS $800 IN NEW/ORIGINAL 16″ MILITARY TIRES (5 OF THEM) HAS A $2000 REMOTE CONTROL”
UPDATE: Still Available
(04/26/2010) Too many jeeps, so the seller is selling this one.
“Daily driver with original four cylinder engine. Body is in good condition for being 64 years old. Could use some work on the rear corners and a paint job. Windshield levers out and the front hardware has all been replaced. I have too many Jeeps and need to let this one go so I have room for the others. Will consider part trade and have some extra wheels and tires I would consider including.”

UPDATE: It turns out Mike still operates the business topbows, but is too busy with his current project, so topbows is temporarily closed. He mentions in the comment below that John Bizal at www.midwestmil.com has bows as well. Thanks Mike!
Yesterday morning I received a question from a reader regarding where to purchase top bows for a CJ-2A (they had checked with topbows.com and found they weren’t in business).
Unfortunately, I can’t find that email (please re-email me if it is you) — it is possible I accidentally deleted the email as I’m still getting used to my new android phone. Why I’m perfectly capable with a computer and perfectly in-capable with a phone still confuses me ….
Since I don’t know of anyone that sells top bows, I did some searches on CJ-2A Top Bows, but had no luck.
Then I remember that Beachwood Canvas carried various top-related items. After a quick tour of their site, I found they sell a complete set or just the front set. You can follow this link https://www.beachwoodcanvas.com/order/productlist.cfm
Then, select CJ-2A from the drop down list of Vehicle types & Group 18: Body, Body Parts and Kits. Finally, enter the search term ‘bows’. Bows are $195 for the front set and $350 for an entire set.
