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**
(06/04/2017) Looks nice. This has an early 0-10 speedo, but the front spring shackles aren’t reversed. I believe they should be reversed if this is truly a ’55 (I thought the springs were reversed at least into ’56?).
“1955 Jeep Willys – 4 wheel drive, manual transmission, 2.2 4 cylinder engine, new tires. Starts….runs….drives….4 wheel drive works. Body is in good shape with little to no rust. Top included. Clear title in hand. Asking $7,000 Open to offers and trades.”
Seller won’t sell to someone outside Washington State.
“Running driving 1960 Willys. Removable hard top with steel doors. The CJ is stock with an f head 4 cyl. 3 speed. Permanent plates. Comes with a solid spare tub. The tub on it is pretty rusty. Comes with a set of stock steel wheels a spare tow bar rear hitch and a couple other small spares. Would make a fun little hunting rig. You can fix it up or you just enjoy it as it is with all of it’s “patina” for as we used to call it RUST. Please keep your calls and texts to decent hours. No I don’t need help selling it no I will not return out-of-state inquiries.”

It’s a pretty clean jeep overall. Seller notes the paint isn’t all that great, but it doesn’t look all that bad in the pics either.
“56 CJ5 Originally from Arizona, very straight. Warn overdrive. Warn hubs. Ramsey winch. Dick Cepek jerry can and spare carrier. Roll bar. Tow bar.
New: complete engine overhaul. Starter, alternator, carburetor, fuel pump, gas tank, wheels, spare, wipers, turn signals, speedometer and more.
Almost New: brakes, wheel cylinders, hoses, front end, clutch, exhaust, tires and more,
Bought to fix up for daughter but things changed. Fresh paint over faded old but didn’t cover well do to my inability as a painter . I have more paint so could be fixed by someone else.”

Maury spotted this silver anniversary CJ-5.
“1979 Jeep CJ-5 SA: This extremely rare Jeep is an incredible investment opportunity. In the second half of 1979 Jeep built less than 1000 of the CJ 5 Silver Anniversary editions. There are an estimated 40 still in existence today with any chance of being restored. Less than 10 with the original motor and transmission and no rust! That makes this one of only 10 left in the world. I encourage you to do some research yourself into the collectibility of this rare vehicle. They will only go up in value!
It is “Car Show Clean” and ready to drive across country. Just add gas and enjoy. With 54,000 original miles this Jeep does well on the road, never sees mud and drives like a dream. It was garage kept for most of its life and only driven around town. The original front seats were replaced with aftermarket along with the steering wheel and shift knob. The original Silver Anniversary emblem is still on the glove compartment door and the VIN can be verified.”
This has an overdrive and a set of hard-to-find Allstate hubs.
“A rare original 56 Willy’s jeep cj5 with 4 wheel drive with lockout hubs also has a shift for overdrive.The jeep runs great used it to go in parades with my grankids.”

(01/17/2017) Nice example of a Kelly Bonanza II hardtop.
“1961 willys cj5
– kelly all steel bonanza II cab in great shape rare in this part of the U.S.
– the body shows its age and has had patch work done and the gentleman who had it obviously loved it and kept documentation from when he purchased it in 1964.
– front and rear diff recently replaced
– motor and trans in great shape, shifts and drives great for 55 years old. Last registered in Tenessee in 2016, needs a few things to be done to pass inspection nothing expensive or mechanical. I’m currently working on them so your able to get it running down the road ASAP.
Cash is the only way your gonna have wiggle room to negotiate, other classic auto for trade or O/U shot gun. I don’t need or want anything else. Making room to appease my wife, But not in a hurry to sell send an email and if your not from another country your more then welcome to come see it.”

(03/24/2016) Maybe there’s a solid stock jeep here that just needs some cosmetics?
“This Willy has had only two owners its whole life and only has 64,719 original miles, mostly towed miles to hunt in other states! It is road worthy and ready, but prime for offroad use! It has a highly sought after Warn M8000 Winch.

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/6004467133.html
I really like this one. I think it could make a good project jeep. Looks like it has the white pointer 0-9 speedo. I just happen to have a NOS one of those …
“Neat project for somebody. Old CJ-5 was used in an orchard for years, so it has dings and dents. Missing passenger seat and windshield frame, has NOT run in years but it turns over fine. Pretty rare to find a Jeep project this old with original paint and all five original wheels. Still has the F head 4 cyl. and the floors & tub seem very solid.”
https://portland.craigslist.org/grg/cto/6014699661.html
Nice looking jeep.
“This is the ultimate Jeep survivor!! It has everything you may want for an outstanding Jeep CJ for any collection. The Jeep was owned by a Willis Jeep Dealer in Indianapolis. It still has the statement of origin or manufactured. It still has the dealer cost sheet. It has 12623 original miles.
It still has the original tube tires. Original paint, top (in bad condition), seats, accessories, hoses, belts, floor mats. Tho only thing that has changed is the shocks, gas cap and clutch. I have owned the Jeep for 20 years. I was going to use it, but realized how special it was and didn’t touch it except for special occasions. I have only put 20 miles on it in the last 3 years. I got it out last night to take pictures and it started right up. I Also have the Willys parts pages for the model. There is a few surface rust spots, one on the tail (pictured) and driver/passenger floor pan. This jeep really deserves a museum or display collection. I have plenty of other photos if needed.”

Looks like a Kelly hardtop. I love the “mother and daughter snow removal” on the door. Has some rust issues.
“This classic Jeep CJ spent much of its life used for plowing snow and stored in a barn. We believe it has had 2-3 owners and the miles appear to be original. Please check out the DOT codes on the tires. You will see that they are November of 1972. It includes the Western plow and controls, as well as the hard top and doors. It was stored in Southeast WI and is a fairly complete vehicle. It is in need of a complete restoration as you can see. Please scroll down and enjoy the 250+ photos.”
