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 .

James has spent quite a bit of time going through the mechanicals on this former Forest Service CJ-5 (no gov plate to confirm this). He’s a got some good history on it and out has a rare Koenig 520 barn door hard top. The 520 model marks it as a “CJ-5 Jiffy Cab”, according to an August 1957 brochure. The “Vertical Rear Doors” were an option that fit all the Koenig full cab models (Super, Standard, and Jiffy models … more on Koenig hardtops here).

Must come to Powell, TN for pick up.
$6500 cash only. CASH, nothing else. No trades either.
Clean Tennessee title in my name.
If you are out of state, I will work with you, but I will arrange nothing. You must do all the leg work.
Ok, that’s out of the way. I bought this CJ5 in August of this year. Since the 5th, I have put about 450 hours into it. That’s one benefit of working from home, haha. It is not a restoration. More of a project to make it safe and fun to drive without worrying about it being a trailer queen.

“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.

Here’s another Texas hunting jeep.

“Great hunting lease Jeep! 1977 CJ5 Renegade with safari seats on the back and the front. Has run well for a year but it has trouble starting and backfires now. I am not a mechanic but I am guessing it runs very rich as I had to replace the fuel pump and I don’t know how to adjust the carb. Purchased a year ago but I changed to a lease that is better for a smaller vehicle. Open to trade for a side by side or the like. Added 4 LED spot lights, replaced the windshield, comes with a spare tire, replaced the front passenger seat (it was worn through) with a rally seat, replaced gas pump, replaced winch controller (it works) includes a rear seat that could be mounted under the safari seats. Unknown mileage. I have the signed title from when I bought it, just never transferred to my name.”
This is a combination build of an M-38 body atop a 1969 CJ-5 chassis, including the use of the single lever transfercase.

Looks like there is value here. This project includes another tub. This appears to have a unique hardtop, one I don’t think I’ve documented previously.

Given the half top and plow, this could be a good part-jeep purchase.

This could be a good price. I can’t tell if it was a DJ-3A, CJ-3B or a CJ-5.

Nick is selling this CJ5 with a plow, half top, and working trencher.
“I take cash or PayPal. Firm on price. First with payment takes it. Located in Shipshewana, IN. 1959 Willys Jeep CJ5 with Auburn Jeep-A-Trench. AgriJeeps were a standard CJ with aftermarket farm equipment, making a dual-purpose vehicle.
This is one of very few operational trencher Jeeps left. I can send you a video of it trenching my backyard. This particular trencher is the latest, greatest version available for the Jeep. It sits inside the bed, rather than hanging off the back. It removes quite a bit of stress from the chassis and body. Hydraulic boom raise/lower and gear-driven chain. Has a new heavy duty clutch kit, fuel tank, fuel pump, lines. Tires all hold air. Runs and drives nice.

https://billings.craigslist.org/bar/d/billings-52-willys/7191971457.html
“52 willy’s small block chevy 410 gears locker stretched and widened runs great street legal lots of fun let me know what you’ve got”
Historically accurate? There are too many inaccuracies for that to be a valid statement.
https://columbiamo.craigslist.org/cto/d/fayette-historical-cj5-willys-jeep/7188565610.html
“NOTICE: I have reduced the price of this Historically accurate Show Jeep by over $500–Come and check it out!
This is a really nice 1960 civilian version (CJ5) Willys Jeep which is almost identical in every respect to the actual Historical Army (M38A1) Jeep. I have shown this vehicle at car shows and used it to pull floats in Veteran’s Day parades. It is exceptionally clean and starts and runs good. As a historical vehicle I do not need to have it inspected and it only costs me $35 per year for insurance.
These are probably just parts vehicles at this point.
