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 $5500.
Here’s a rare bed extension.

Notice in the picture of the vehicle that it has a 25 inch bed extension. Also, note the picture of the power takeoff (PTO) which runs the mower. It has a title and is licensed and is considered a 1/4 Ton pickup.

The Taylors of Walnut Hill, Kansas, were featured in the March 1948 issue of Country Gentleman. They owned the Walnut Hill Hereford Ranch. I googled the ranch, but it no longer appears active under that name.
According to the article, “Tom Taylor bought his his CJ-2A jeep with some misgivings, but the jeep is probably his favorite piece of equipment. He now declares he wouldn’t know how to farm without it.”
Closeup of the CJ-2A
The article also notes, “The most original item is their repair-trailer, a wheeled frame of six-inch tubular steel which serves as compressed-air tank, carrying its own power, equipped for spray-painting, lubrication-pressure, welding and acetylene-torch cutting.”
Custom trailer for welding, cutting and mobile power. It appears the CJ-2A has an bed extender along with an extra tall rear seat (custom seat?).
Doron Segal from Israel shared these photos. In memory of his father, Doron has rebuilt a 1942 GPW with the number “4062”. His father served in the “Samson Foxes“.
The two photos below are from a fifteenth club event in Israel, 2010 (see more current photos here). Doron can be seen driving his GPW in the first one:
Here are some vintage photos. They jeeps shown are a mix of MB/GPWs, CJ-2As and a Lefty CJ-2A. It looks like the rear extension was a must-have modification. Note the number on the jeep in the first photo.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350
Wayne spotted this bed extender.
“For Sale an original Koenig Tub Extender for sale. If you’ve ever seen one before, you’re squarely in the minority. You take the tailgate off your CJ 5, plug this piece in its place, then put your tailgate at the end of your tub extender and viola…2 more feet of cargo space. Pictures are as it is. It’s a very simple restoration to match with your classic. Email with any questions or interests! Would like gone asap!”
UPDATE: Still Available
(09/03/2013) It looks solid, but the drain holes have been filled and its missing the parking brake.
“1946 cj2a VIN 54883.
It is time to liquidate some assets so my wife of almost 50 years can take a trip back to her native Korea Possibly for the last time. So I thought it would be fitting that ” The other woman ” name of the jeep .. should be the asset to liquidate. She ( the jeep ) is located in West Michigan, and can be delivered by me..on a trailer for a fee. As we all know …there is MUCH more invested in Resto/Mod than we will ever re coupe… but the ability to work on this old girl was well worth it. She spent 2 winters in a Chrysler/Jeep dealership show room. and in covered storage to date ( started up on a monthly basis ) You will note this baby has two option not seen very often.. Dual wheels AND extended cargo area ( Both options offered for farm use in the late 1940s ) see pictures here. https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=CC846636913B7D9D&id=CC846636913B7D9D%21426

Thanks for looking and thinking about adding Just one more to you Collection.”

This looks like a good price.
“I have 2 1952 Willys CJ-3A jeeps ….One has been taken apart and sandblasted and primed. The frame has been sandblasted and painted all the running gear has been redone with new parts. I have all the pieces to complete this jeep. Minus the motor and transmission. Thats where the second Jeep comes in. It has a pretty rough body,but the motor and tranny are good. It runs and drives,but it blew a head gasket and I have not fixed it yet. I also have a rare Willys Jeep Bed Extender that is included in the deal. I would like to sell all of this as a package deal. There is enough pieces and parts to make one good Jeep and have some parts left over. I have a good clear title ofor the Jeep that is in pieces. I am asking $2000.00 for all it or make me an offer. Email this post for more info or more pictures.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400
“This is a very nice original Jeep accessory. You simply remove your gate, drop the extension into place and move your gate to the back. There are also two braces that attach to the drawbar. You can pick up the extension ten miles east of Hershey, PA. Please email if interested and thanks for looking.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Marc spotted this unusual bed extension. I think this is a non-newgren extender that’s been customized.
” ***I had this listed 2 weeks ago. It attracted almost 50 watchers but no bids at $400. I have nothing to compare it to. So I will let the market set the price at $200 and above.***
Extension bed or extension body for vintage Willys CJ Jeeps. During the Jeep craze following WWII, Willys and several other companies were making all sorts of Jeep accessories. One of the coolest was the Extension Body or Extend-A-Bed. Some were made “knocked down” for assembly by the owner. Others were made “welded up” and ready to bolt on. This bed extension is “welded up” and installs with only 8 bolts. I do not know who, when or where this bed extension was made. There is no maker’s tag present. The floor and sides are formed from one solid piece of heavy sheet steel turned up at the sides. It took a heavy metal brake to form this steel. The body is braced and welded. All bolt holes to mount to the jeep are present.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
This appears to have the wrong windshield for the top. This includes the rear extended bed.
“Very good shape runs good has arctic top”
