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 .
Curiously, this has a wire gauze air filter normally seen on DJ-3A convertibles and surreys.

“I have here an old school Willie’s Jeep. This is a project jeep. I am sure this would be a great jeep if someone put the money and time. It is rough but has great potential. It has a snow plow manuel swing. It was updated to a 4 cylinder overhead vale motor. It doesn’t run at this time.Pick up is in rockford.”
The body has a number of repairs. This may have an f-head.

“1945 gpw tub. Message me for details,make a offer pick up only, located in rockland county NY”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $450.
Seller doesn’t think this was original to a 1961 CJ-5, but it in fact is a factory hardtop (minus the rust of course).
“Hard top that came off 61 willys Jeep cj5 I don’t think it’s original”
Unclear how much value is here.

“1947 Willys Jeep with no motor and the trans is bad. I have a tailgate, fenders, and front, but they are rusted in some places. Needs to be rebuilt of course but has a good VIN and would make a great truck to cut up and not care if you wanted to make a rock crawler or something out of. Open to trades, perhaps anything GM truck related. Or shoot me something that you have that you want to trade. Currently it is sitting in my 6,600 sq ft building, so I don’t have to get rid of it anytime soon.”
UPDATE: This was relisted on eBay and ended up selling yesterday for $26.95.
This print block depicting a Willys-Overland jeep with attached sprayer was on eBay. It’s pretty small, but the grille and tool indents suggest it’s an Agrijeep to me. This and similar small blocks were used to create newspaper ads illustrations. Below the block is an example of it used in an October 03, 1945, advertisement.
Here’s the ad example:

Mike spotted this good price. These are hard to find this cheaply.

Doug had a Porter & Reed Hardtop for sale a couple years ago. He took some great detail photos of it and it represents a classic example of the Full Econo-Body-Type “E” model, so I’ve included them all in case someone tries to restore one of these (I have higher res photos, too). For example, in Doug’s photos you can see the pull down sunshade and bracket on the driver’s side and just the bracket on the passenger side.
I’ve also included both brochures from the 10/1/1948 First Supplement of the Willys-Overland Special Equipment book (Besides full and half tops, Porter & Reed also manufactured bed extenders). (Learn additional info about the tops on the CJ-3B site)
The odd thing about Porter & Reed tops is that there were a multitude of variations, from no small side windows, to small side windows to larger side windows, or from a single back door window to dual back windows, and from rear doors that opened up vertically, to a couple that opened sideways, to a set of barn doors (custom)? There may have been a change in the doors as well, as a couple tops have angled bends at the lower front edge rather than the standard vertical bend where the body bends. What was factory and what was customized is likely lost to time ….
Some of these variations are evident in the Deluxe (Type “A”) vs. Econo Body (Type “E”) full top models, but others are not. For example, the Deluxe model had a rear door that swung sideways, rectangular side windows with rounded corners, while the Econo model had a rear door that swung upwards and square side windows. Meanwhile, the deluxe half top (Half body — Type “B”) had a rear door that swung upwards, while the econo half top’s (Half Econo-Body–Type “H”) rear didn’t open at all.
You can see all the full and half top examples I have here: http://www.ewillys.com/?s=Porter+%26+Reed … I’ve also included a few at the end of this post.
Here’s the basic hardtop brochure:
Now for Doug’s ad:

“I have a full hard top for a CJ2A for sale. It’s in pretty good shape. It needs glass or plexiglass. $450, I am coming north on the east coast November 3rd, from Florida to New York, can help deliver”
