About eWillys
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.
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 .

No Title but have bill of sale, it became too time consuming and just too much for me to do by myself under a carport with no knowledge of doing an engine swap outside of YouTube videos!

A big thanks to Ted Jordan for making and sharing these scans. When Hubart A. Kelly initially purchased the D. L. Beck Manufacturing Company, which produced CJ-2A hardtops, initially the cab company was called Kemco. At the time Beck was still a working partner at the company. This rare four-page brochure was produced at that time. Not too much later, Kemco was officially became the Kelly Manufacturing Company and Kemco disappeared.
These are the interior two pages.
This is the Dealer’s Confidential Price list:
And here is what the rest of us would likely have paid:
Ted Jordan also shared this early Kelly Manufacturing Hardtop Brochure. Note that the brochure mentions Kemco on the front page, which suggests this was printed shortly after the name was changed to Kelly.
Bob Christy has announced that the Spring Reunion has been pushed back to June 19-20. Depending on how COVID-19 events unfold, there may be further alterations or even outright cancellation of the event. So, stay tuned!
The Spring Reunion is now Re-Scheduled to June 19-20, 2020
I spoke with the hotel and they are working with minimal staff under the current restrictions put in place by the State of Ohio.
The person I spoke to (Frank) was going to move all of the room reservations to the new dates. If you cannot make it to the show on the new dates and need to cancel your room there will be no penalty.
If you have already registered for the show, your registration is still valid, so you need to do nothing.
As of right now, the show will go on as planned, however, state restrictions in place at the time of the show may force us to make decisions on:
Dinner
Guest Speaker
T shirts
outright cancellation
It’s our sincere hope that by June everything will be back to normal and we can hold the show as planned, but of course like everyone else, we will not know that for many more weeks.
On Behalf of everyone that helps to run this show, including Art, Mindy, Jpet, Scott, Kevin, Bill, and myself we wish all of you health and happiness during this time and we hope to see you all soon.
This is listed as a 1946 CJ-2A, but titled as a 1949 CJ-3A. I’d say it’s more likely the 3A with a 2A windshield.
“For sale is a beautiful barn find 1940’s Jeep Willys. It was wonderfully restored by the previous owner. He was a military veteran who drove it in parades. I have cleaned and replaced fuel lines so that fuel flows clean and well. It has been converted to a 12 volt system with electric fuel pump. Engine runs and idles well. Rust free frame. Converted it to a tilt steering column with turn key ignition. All steel tub and the floors have been professionally converted to heavier metal. Includes bestop soft top in good shape. Small oil drip when engine is running, just needs a new oil pump gasket. Brakes work but should be checked to be fully road worthy. It is titled as a 1949 CJ3A. I believe it has the go devil L134 engine. Asking 7500 or best offer.”
This has a DJ-3A convertible windshield (not a 3B windshield). It’s a project.
