eBay Search

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.

Jeeps Showcase

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.

Buying Tips

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 .

1950 CJ-3A The Dalles, OR $4000

December 11, 2021 • CATEGORIES: CJ-3A • TAGS: Dash, Desert-Dogs, Hardtop. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $4000.

(12/05/2020) A ran-when-parked specimen (though looks like it was parked many years ago). It includes a set of rare X-Style Desert Dogs which look little used. Unclear how much value is here, but the price seems to overestimate the value.

Plastic Turning Company’s Topless Top

December 9, 2021 • CATEGORIES: Features • TAGS: four-the, Hardtop. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: This also ran in October of 2016. I’ve still not uncovered any more relevant information about these tops. However, I can tell you that the Plastic Turning Company suffered a break-in on March 15th, 1970. the company was located at 511 Lancaster St, Leominster, MA.

In March of 1969, Four Wheeler Magazine featured Plastic Turning Company’s Topless Top. It was built from plexiglass and was offered in a clear and tinted model. The company was based out of Leominster, Massachusetts. Has anyone ever seen one of these out in the wild? I didn’t have much luck searching Google for other images.

1946 CJ-2A Sandy, OR $1000

November 16, 2021 • CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: Hardtop. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

It looks like there is a $1000 worth of value here. Note the hard-to-find Hudson steering setup.

https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/d/sandy-1946-jeep-willys/7407874513.html

“Here it is the opportunity of a lifetime. A 1946 jeep Willys that could become your dream come true. I purchased this vehicle and it was stored in the garage since the 1970s. The 70s is also when it was last driven. See the pictures that it is a work in progress and will become a labor of passion. Unfortunately this beauty does not have a title and is to be sold as is. What a fantastic opportunity to bring this rich piece of history back to life.”

1946? CJ-2A Albuquerque, NM $3000 obo

November 16, 2021 • CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: Hardtop. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Listed as a 1946, the grille suggests it is later than that. The hardtop looks to be for a CJ-5.

Custom Hardtop Lancaster, CA $800

November 16, 2021 • CATEGORIES: Parts, Unusual • TAGS: Hardtop. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This custom top appears to be a shortened wagon roof possibly melded with a DJ-3A cowl windshield piece(?). Unfortunately, it does have some rust. But, someone did some good work on this.

1950s There’s a Jeep for Your Job Video

November 9, 2021 • CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features, videos • TAGS: cargo-personnel-carrier, Hardtop. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: This video is making the rounds on FB, again, so, I figured I’d repost it.

Original Post March 2017: Listed as a 1940s promotional film, the inclusion of CJ-5s and the exclusion of DJs and FCs suggests to me it was created in 1955. There’s an extended look at a cargo personnel carrier near the end of the video There are also a variety of specialized equipment and hardtops shown.
