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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
Tom spotted this jeep. It includes an overdrive (not installed). While the fenders and paint aren’t original, along with a couple other items, there’s a lot to like here.
“Nice old Jeep. Was in storage for long time. New fuel tank,battery,tune up, and carburetor rebuilt. Fun little machine. Rare hardtop. Optional Jeep steps. Extra overdrive included.”
It’s been used, but it generally looks pretty stock and solid. Its also sports a vintage PTO winch and some Cutlas Power Lock hubs.

“This CJ is ready for hunting,fishing,or just cruising the back roads”
This runs and drives. That front bumper sure is mangled. This has the early KS 0-10 Speedometer.

“1955 Willys CJ5 Runs and drives, all the lights work. Perfect candidate for restoration. $3,000 OBO would consider trade”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. It sold for $23,800.
Mike shared this nice looking Tux Park.
“If this was a 24k mile “1965 any car you can imagine” , it would be rare, Now considering that it is a rare 1965 Tuxedo park, its even more rare !!! Selling a super rare , 24k original documented mile, rust free, fully restored classic that is perfect for driving or investment purposes. The story of how Jeep debuted the Tuxedo Park model to lure a higher end customer into buying a Jeep product makes for a great story to tell, There is no better way to tell that story than to have one of these fully restored examples right in front of you, ”
If the body is solid this is worth a look.

https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/cto/d/whittier-jeep-trencher/7233910801.html
“1965 Willys CJ5 with Auburn Trencher. Front blade bracket/no blade. Dual wheel adapters with extra set of rims and tires. The Jeep has the-overload coil springs with leaf springs in the rear. It’s all there. Practically no miles on motor to speak of 5,000 +or – runs great, trencher works great. I do have dually adapters with the rims and tires that will go with it. Zero rust, great piece of history.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3250.
Stock CJ-5 with a Koenig hardtop and early Free-Lock hubs.
“1956 Willys CJ-5 with original Koenig hard top. Been in my family since 1969. This is a stock Jeep. Runs, drives, stops. New wiring harness. Yes, I have the title. As-is $3,250 obo”

Blaine shared this nicely original CJ-5.
https://reno.craigslist.org/cto/d/reno-original-1966-cj5/7227150154.html
“Mechanically correct 3 owner CJ5 , F-134 engine runs well and the transmission shifts smoothly and the transfer-case shifts in and out of four wheel drive with ease . Dana 44 rear with factory Power-lok rear end with 5:38 gears in front and rear differentials. Front differential has smooth working Warn locking hubs and has new inner and outer seals including knuckle seals the king pin bearings have been replaced in the front differential as well . The body has never been repainted since new and is extremely clean for a 54 year old Cj5. The brakes are new as are the KYB gas shocks at all 4 corners .
I have replaced the Fuel pump with the correct Dual Action fuel pump along with a new steel tank and lines as well as rebuilt the Carburetor. The starter has been rebuilt recently and it has a new battery and ignition switch as well. The Radiator has been re-cored and it has a new water pump and Thermostat as well. The Heater Core was replaced and the heater works as it should . I replaced all of the worn out factory insulating pads between the body and frame with ½ inch conveyor belting and all new correct ⅜ 24 bolts washers lock washers and nuts . I replaced the speedometer assembly and speedometer cable because they were no longer working but the originals will be provided with the Jeep. The Jeep comes with 5 BFG All Terrain tires with good tread”
UPDATE: Still Available.

(03/23/2018) “Original 1955 Willys CJ-5 in great condition. This Jeep runs like a dream! Brand new T-90 transmission was installed less than two months ago, and the Jeep shifts beautifully. Original speedometer/odometer still works and is a very rare piece. Brand new Smittybilt seats and a brand new exhaust system installed less than two months ago.”
Has no title, the two left tires are seized, and the floor could use a patch or replacement, but overall could make a good restoration project as the rust may be limited to the floors. Note the windshield wiper fluid bag in the engine compartment.

“My dad passed away last year, and I’m cleaning out our family’s barn and we have a 1959 Willy’s Jeep with a Koenig cab and a plow.
Just pulled it out of our barn for the first time in over 40 years. My grandpa used it as a snowplow and it’s just been sitting since (metal warehouse on a concrete floor).
Don’t really know much about it other than what you can see in the pictures. Comes with a spare tire and the original snowchains. Only 17,094 original miles!
Don’t have the title, but I do have a bunch of old registration forms, as well as the Power of Attorney paperwork you would need to get a replacement title.
Two left tires are seized, other than that don’t know anything about it mechanically.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/24/2020) If all it needs is cleaning, it could be a good price. Has a Meyer hardtop.

This includes a working set of Thor Electronic Hubs (and the first pic I’ve seen of the switch to engage the hubs). These are the “Lectro-Matic” version of the hubs (there was also an automatic version). Dan documented a set of the “Lectro-Matric” hubs here.

“Anyone looking for the coolest 62 Jeep CJ5 on the planet. I got this handsome little guy up for sale. It’s beyond amazing! Everything works, every light, all gauges, the chrome winch ect…oh and there’s chrome all over the place. Original paint, Original interior.. both are in incredible condition. It’s a very unique Jeep and it’s running a Corvette engine that was installed by the original owner in the mid sixties.He was a aircraft mechanic so everything is perfect .It also has very rare Thor electronic locking front hub set . No rust anywhere and super straight. I have the those crazy off road wide white wall tires in the pics and the hubcaps. I just threw on a new set of Power King black walls to drive it around. The Jeep runs amazing! It’s got really good power and not geared that low. I have not taken it on the freeway but got it up to 60mph with no issues. This is a very special Jeep with history. Ca title & current registration in my name”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $4995.
Unclear what work it needs. It has a rare Koenig 555 Super Cab.
“It’s a red 4×4, 2-dr utility ’56 Willys Jeep, CJ-5. Was going to restore it, but no longer have the time.
Was appraised at $6000, I’m asking $4995 obo.
Received a “Serviceable rating” = restorable, but needs work to be drivable.
Great for collectors or car enthusiasts.
3-speed transmission
38k miles
4cyl engine
Reupholstered seats, repainted body, metal top, spare, jack, tow bar, complete with trailer towing package, winch, and spot light.”
This may have potential. That appears to be a Kelly Bonanza III hardtop.

“We also have a 1951 Jeep Willies”
UPDATE: **SOLD** “Was $12,000.
Looks in good shape, though the bottom isn’t quite as clean as the topside.
“1957 Jeep Willys CJ5. Runs great!! Just got it NYS inspected. Hardly any rust on it. All original, not restored. This was a mint barn find from original owner. Only 33,000 miles on it. In great condition for an original 57 Jeep. Only reason I’m selling it is because it’s in such great condition I’m afraid of using it to go off road. I don’t want to damage it, I’d rather sell this to someone who can appreciate the historical value. Like I said, runs great I’ve been driving it around for a couple months now. I just put new brake lines, hose, pads, wheel cylinders and master brake cylinders on it. Along with a new carb.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
This CJ-5 has the early 0-10 King Seeley speedometer. I think this has a great, vintage feel to it.
