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.
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 .
Tom, from Forks, Washington, has a new CJ-5 project he's purchased. He had a question about the location of the vin plate on the body. He thought it should be on the passenger side firewall, but that's where the battery holder is located. Anyone know where the vin plate is on a 50s CJ-5?
Tom also has his two flatties for sale. You can learn more about then here.
Should be on the right passenger firewall like he thought….. A trip to http://www.earlycj5.com might reveal some helpful information. The tub appears to have renegade stripes like the 70/71 renegade I and II package had but the cowl cover shouldn’t be there if it was this late. What year is it supposed to be? Power?

Here’s Tom’s Response …
This new” one is titled as a 47, but the only thing I can figure is that
they have a 47 frame, a 55 body , and a 76? V-6. I’ll put a 47 ID/VIN tag on it on the firewall somewhere and go drive it.
yep…seen that before… My ex-girlfriend bought a 55 or so that was a patched together 55 frame, a 72-75 CJ tub and front end, and a drivetrain from a 76-82- AMC 20 rear, disc 30 front, 258 six, T-18 4 speed, and dana 20 T-case. So who knows what is in Tom’s new rig…. So many of them are missing the tag anyways… If it’s an odd fire Dauntless 225 V-6, they were offered till 71 from about 1965…
