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 $3000.
This has one of those unique California modified windshields.

I discovered these directions for the Muller Custom Top in the August 1965 issue of Four Wheeler Magazine that we’ve seen on nicely modified Fresno area Jeeps. I’m considering building one of these for Biscuit and selling my Kayline.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,5000. It has a Muller Top
“THIS IS A 1965 WILLYS THAT IS EQUIPPED WITH A 1969 WINDSOR 302 MOTOR WITH HEADERS AND A C4 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE BODY IS AN AFTERMARKET ONE PIECE ALLUMINUM BODY MOUNTED ON A 1965 JEEP CHASSIS. (REGISTERED AS 1965 JEEP). TOTAL FRAME OFF RESTORATION FROM THE GROUND UP. WAY TO MUCH TO LIST, ONE YOU MUST SEE AND DRIVE.”
In 2010, Chris commented that a retired Ford Mechanic in Rancho Cordova, CA, built about 40 flatfenders. I believe he’s responsible for a variety of jeeps I call the “California Modded” jeeps. They often have an expanded windshield, implement a Muller Top, and have a lip added on the rear wheel wells.
Does anyone know the name of this mechanic or have any other information about him?
Here was Chris’ comment from this post:
There was a retired Ford mechanic in Rancho Cordova, Ca. that was building flatfenders for a while as a hobby. Back in the early 90′s he had built closed to 40. When he picked up a willys that didn’t have a a good windshield,the large windshield is what he put on. He has since passed away.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500. The seller says this jeep has a Cooper top, but it looks just like a Muller Top to me. Maybe they are one-in-the-same?
““Ole Yeller” is up for sale or trade. Sporty, fun and dependable head turner. Comes complete with all snap on soft sides and windows and has original Black plates. It has a 48 Willys body, 69 Ford Windsor 302 motor with J-series cast iron heads, Keith Black pistons, Edelbrock cam, intake and timing chain, FMC carb, 69 C4 3 speed auto trans with stage 2 shift kit and B&M 2000 stall converter, Dana 25 front axle, Dana 44 rear axle with 427 gears, Spicer model 30 transfer case, SoCal gauges, Tilt steering wheel, electric parking brake, new hi performance battery, CD player, ceramic coated headers, like new tires. Only 6000 miles on it since build. Paint is not perfect and the Cooper top has a small repair patch in it, other than that it’s a fantastic little Jeep. I want $12,500.00 or trade for a custom vehicle of equal value. Please no texting or low ballers. Read the list of components and add them up, this is a good deal.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
(06/19/2014) This might be a good price. It’s got some of the Fresno area mods (doors and the windshield). PIcs could be old or the camera’s date mixed up.
