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 .

“This is a new tiger top (made by best top) it has never been opened. I bought the top for a project years ago and I never started the project. The top is for a CJ3B -53-64. Call Josh 720-432-1217.”

“New older Best Top soft top with doors, bows, all mounting hardware and instructions – never been installed – still has factory tissue paper protecting the windows. Great condition. Model 51002 fits CJ2A 45 – 49 and MB 41-45. These go for almost $800 . Bought it here advertized as for a CJ5 and discovered after I got home it was for a CJ2A – just looking to get my money back out of it since it won’t fit my Jeep. Would consider trade for a set of 5 original 16″ willys wheels and tires or a good soft top to fit an early CJ5. Joe 920-450-0871”
This looks like a great price.
“Early jeep top and doors Bestop NEW no bows mon-sat 9am-11pm 828-230-7259”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
Looks new.
“New (still in the box) Best Top Soft top for Jeep Willy’s CJ2A. Was intended for a ’47 but was never installed. Not sure what range of years it would fit, but was ordered for a ’47. Top is complete with full doors as well. Call or e-mail if interested.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $225. I got to check out these hubs and they are in great condition. These aren’t a hub that have a ‘free’ and ‘lock position, rather you use these to replace the full time hub to reduce wear on the front running gear.
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.
UPDATE: **SOLD**
“Jeep Capstan Winch Assy (Linkbelt)in good operating condition. (Came on 1946 CJ2A I just purchased that I have no use for) Missing the rope roller assy and the original handle assy. (Both available from CapstanWinch.com). Operating handle is relocated horizontally, below winch mounting platform on lower right-hand side. (see attached picture.)”
Mike has some lights for sale.
This is a set of Unity Spotlights, chrome, 12 volt. I bought them new and hardly used them. I’d like $100.00 plus $15.00 to ship. These spotlights cost $150.00 new each. Email me at mikester51@comcast.net
There’s some value here.
