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 .
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.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $850

(09/18/2010) Maggie forwarded this project. It looks like a good price.

Includes top bows, passenger door, passenger seat frame and rear seat frame, bumpers. Body in good condition. No front sheet metal. Valid PA title.”

For $500, this looks like a good deal. The grille looks like a pre-mid 1947 grille.
“1950 Willys Jeep CJ2A, needs lots of work and parts. Was running, but as of now is not. Have extra front bumper and leaf springs. Mileage unknown. Pickup only.”

UPDATE: Big price drop to $2800
(08/30/2010) I’m not sure if that is supposed to be an artistic paint job or a repair.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
(05/24/2010) Brett spotted this nicely restored CJ-6 with a unique looking paint job.
“Up for sale is a RARE 1959 CJ-6. This vehicle has been restored and has no rust. It is painted and marked in air force Blue. It has a 289 V8 motor. It runs and drives well. New gas tank. This jeep also has the rare Hard top. The person I bought it from clamed it was a Flight Line jeep. I have no documation on this. This is a must see if you are looking for a CJ-6. $6500.00 or best offer.”
UPDATE: Was on eBay
(12/26/09) This build looks interesting as it has some unique touches. The top is certainly unusual and is probably a relief on hot summer days. I’d like to get some more detail pics of this one.
“This jeep has given us much fun on off-roads and hunting trips. It hasn’t been driven on the highway since we have owned it. We trailer it to and from the mountains. We purchased it from the original owner, who bought it new in 1946 and has since passed on. We have made a lot of changes since we’ve owned it. These changes include diamond plate on part of the body, and we Rhino-lined the rest of the outside body, (has a small crack in Rhino-line on hood). Includes a wider wind shield than original. (see pictures) It has a removable vinyl top that converts easily into a bikini top. Zip-off side windows can be attached to the top. Removable vinyl covered half doors. Full front bench seat with saddle blanket seat cover and shoulder-strap seat belts. CB Radio with antennae, cassette/radio player and speakers. Tilt steering wheel. Oil, temp and volt gauges but no speedometer. Roll Cage. Gun rack above windshield inside holds 1 gun. Front and rear heaters. 12 Volt system with new battery. Front wiper on driver side. Auxillary front lights. Power Steering. Front-end has a little play in steering. Buick V-6 motor with electric fan and dual exhaust. 3 Speed manual transmission. M-M front outside locking hubs, hi-lo 4×4 levers inside. Front Disc Brakes. Rear Drum Brakes. Front and rear shocks. Mag Wheels with Wild Country Radials ATV 32×11.50 R15 LT Tires.
