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

UPDATE: Was priced at $800
(09/18/2010) Maggie forwarded this project. It looks like a good price.

UPDATE: **SOLD**
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.
