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 .

(03/23/2016) Nice vintage CJ-5, though the tails lights don’t look stock. But, that’s trivial.
“1961 CJ-5 Bone Stock / Totally un-molested. F-Head 134 Hurricane 4 Cylinder / 3 Speed Transmission T 18 twin shift transfer case. Everything on the jeep works. Jeep has new springs and shocks, shackle nuts and bolts and Fresh a oil change.The heater even works, but will need the heater core replaced. It has a small drip. Hard top is in great condition, one of the best hard tops I have ever seen. As you can see from the pictures there is slight surface rust on the hard top, just scratches. The body is very straight. The jeep has always been kept in garage. The body has minor rust as you can see from the picture. At some point in its life the jeep received a matching sky blue second paint job. The passenger side floor board is the worst and will need to be fixed, but this a pretty simple job. Tires have good tread and I have a spare pair of studs.
I was thinking modifying this jeep, but I can’t bring myself to molest a Jeep this nice. It’s a true survivor It’s almost impossible to find a 55 year old CJ-5 in this condition. I’m looking for a Tuxedo Park Mark IV. Drive it home tomorrow or tow it with the tow bar. Bring a 2″ Ball. I drive this Jeep every weekend to Garage Sales. I bought it from the original owner with 34,000 miles. They put $2,000 worth of work into it in 2014. Water Pump, Battery, Radiator, Fuel Tank, New Carb, Fuel Line, New Fan Belt, Ignition, Starter, Etc. Etc. Etc. I also have pristine period correct collectors license plates I might throw in for the right price. I also have a Dana 30 front axle with discs and completely rebuilt and restored Ramsey PTO winch. I would have to adjust the price if you wanted me to include these too.
$6,000 OBO or trade for a Tuxedo Park Mark IV CJ5 or CJ6 I will give you cash to make up the balance if the Tuxedo Park if it’s really nice.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.
(01/12/2016) This might make a good restoration. Or, just drive as is.
“Offering my 1956 Willy Jeep for sale. 11 years ago I picked up from the winery orchard and I am the second owner to restore it with many dreams but never happened. Due to my unforeseen circumstances, I have to let it go with the reasonable best offer. Staying in the garage for over 10 years, I rebuilt the carburetor, new electric fuel pump, gas hot tank, new distributor cap, plug and wires. Things need to be fixed are, part of the wiring for the head lights, brake lights, horn and minor wiring replacement on the voltage regulator and rust with hole on the passenger side panel. If the price is right I can rewire for you. Jeep runs well and you will be amazed how it drives.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500.
“This was my dads. He ordered it in 1965 in Phoenix. I have every paper since that day. I inherited it 19 years ago and have done my best to enjoy it and keep it as amazingly original as it has always been. It has 34K original miles, it has never had a tow hitch on it. He mostly pulled it behind his truck for hunting. I transport it on a trailer. 4 years ago I was afraid it might start to rust (I moved to Montana) so I painted it with concept paint in the original paint code (Indian ceramic). I haven’t hooked everything up since painting (like the wipers and heater, and) but I have EVERY PART.”
Appears worth a look. Has a Meyer half cab.

It runs and drives. Body has rust.
“Good hunting ride with top and room to be out of the rain,

Jim spotted this stock CJ-5.
“You are bidding on a 38k original mile gem. This jeep was originally purchased in California and made it’s way to Oklahoma in 1986. The jeep has been garage kept all of it’s life. This jeep was purchased from the original owning family in 2002, the odometer at that time was 13,240.
There is zero rust in the body of this Jeep and very minor surface rust. The paint is factory original, color code 433, Spring Green. The Jeep has never been off-roaded and has only been daily driven.
The body and frame are factory straight, and it retains it’s original engine and 3-speed drivetrain.
When the Kayline top was installed, it was ordered built without snaps so it could be matched up to the original snap holes.
The Jeep starts, runs, shifts and stops excellent. One minor modification is the addition of an HEI ignition.
The Jeep has the new Kayline top as well as new seat upholstery and new tires. They were replaced due to dry rot and wear.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $2700.
(08/24/2015) This was owned by Evil Kneivel’s father-in-law. It doesn’t run at the moment, still it appears worth a look.
“Original condition Willys Jeep that has been in storage since 1991. It will need a new battrey, the gas tank cleaned, a few new oil seals and maybe carb repair to get it running again.
I purchased this jeep back in 1972 from the original owner and did convert it to 12 volt. I have owners manual and sidesteps plus a 390 page service manual, army gas can, etc…The first owner installed a tow bar, a power takeoff winch and a airplane altimeter in the dash (see pictures). It has always been kept in a garage and has very little rust.
FYI, the first owner was Evil Kneivels’s father-in-law.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
This needs a little work and no longer has the top, but still may be a good price. Thanks to Jonathan for pointing it out.
“1965 Jeep CJ5A Tuxedo Park Mark IV. Rare model, less than 2,000 made. All original. Not restored. Original paint, original seats, original hubcaps, etc. I believe even the spare tire is original. No rust to speak of, some minor surface rust where the paint has worn off. 32,000 miles. Needs new tires, and one wheel brake cylinder leaks. Excellent condition for a 50 year old Jeep. Very easy restoration project, or just go over it mechanically (brakes, tune up, lube, etc.) and enjoy the patina look as is.
4 cylinder engine, three speed manual transmission with column shift (part of the Tuxedo Park package).
The photos were taken about 5 years ago. It has been sitting in the garage ever since so it is dirty from dust, and it no longer has the top, which finally fell apart from age.”
UPDATE: This was on eBay, but seller pulled the ad. I don’t know if it sold or not.
Jim spotted this good looking CJ-5. Seller is VERY motivated.
“This Jeep runs and drives great, just took it on a 150 mile cruise 70 mph no problem. Steering is tight and is suspension. Look at all the pic’s and see the original condition and original factory red paint (not repainted).This Jeep has great patina!! Please note: a small dent in front right fender, small ding in front left fender, small tear in soft top. Top is not perfect but looks and functions well. Absolutely no fluid leaks in or around engine.

“1965 Kaiser Willys Jeep CJ5, very rare Tuxedo Park edition meticulous frame off restoration, every last nut, bolt inside and outside with virtually every then available factory option, Dauntless Buick V6, Husky Overdrive, vintage Kelly Bonanza hardtop with removable doors, factory bench seat, factory chrome bumpers, etc. Restoration completed in 2012, just a few thousand miles driven since finished. Never in salt, sand, rarely in rain. Over $20K invested. Its like buying a brand new 1965 Jeep! My loss is your gain! Motivated Seller. Also will consider full or partial trade for antique classic or special edition motorcycles. What have you? Come take a look!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. According to Bill this has the Mark III Tuxedo Park package.
Jim spotted this nice looking CJ-5. It looks like it has a Tuxedo Park Package and appears to have the Indian Ceramic steering wheel.
“From high up in the mountains of central Colorado comes a very well preserved, 1964 CJ5 that is largely unmolested. The reason I say largely unmolested is that other than a carburetor change to aid the drivability at altitude, this jeep is all original from factory paint to the factory upholstery. The original Carter Carburetor is included, along with the air cleaner ducting should the buyer wish to return it to its stock configuration. Carter did offer a “High Altitude” kit for the “Hurricane 4″but it was rated rated at 4000 ft above sea level, but when you consider that this jeep lives at 8000 ft, and a ride into the high country may find it 13,000’+, you see the Carter solution is not viable. Re-jet you say? Carter used metering rods instead of jets, so that’s why it has the very popular Weber Progressive 2 bbl. conversion which allows re-jetting to accommodate the thin air.

“Regretfully selling my beloved 1959 Willys Jeep CJ5. This Jeep has been 100% disassembled and restored to original condition. All steel body with absolutely no rust whatsoever. Frame was sandblasted and painted with POR-15, and every detail has been taken care of.
Here is all the information…
THE GOOD
Fully restored 100%
All steel body. Painted in President Red (the original color) using base coat/clear coat and hand polished to a mirror shine
Original engine and drive train — F-head 4 cyl engine with 3 speed manual transmission, 4 wheel drive with high/low range
Beautifully upholstered seats matching the original style, color, and stitching
Kept as original as possible down to the vacuum wiper motor (passenger wiper is manual)
5 brand new radial tires
Completely rewired using reproduction original style wiring harness
Everything mechanical has been gone through and rebuilt or replaced
Draws a crowd at car shows and parking lots
Seat belts were added, although not required by law.
Kept it as original as I could. The only modernization or customization I did was the use of stainless hardware for appearance, radial tires, and Petronix electronic ignition conversion.
Extensive research went into making this as original as possible. Research revealed the correct color of the paint, the windshield frame (semi-gloss black), the upholstery, and even the headlight buckets. Every possible attempt was made to make this as perfect an example of an original 1959 Willys CJ5 as humanly possible.
