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 .
Bill shared this stock CJ-5 with original paint. It’s hard to believe it’s got 75k miles.
https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/d/noblesville-1973-jeep-cj-with-meyer/7784097280.html
“Selling a 1973 Jeep CJ-5, very original including paint, excellent body and frame, Jeep is from Alabama, smooth running 232 inline 6, 3-speed, 4 wheel drive, manual lock-outs, gun rack, runs and drives great, 75,440 miles, clean and clear title in my name in hand.”
Only a couple days left in this auction with no bidders. Bill shared this CJ-5 with an unusual hardtop. It also appears to have the Hudson Steering mod. The mileage is only 40,138 miles, but the co-part auction listed that as 401,389 miles. The front fenders have been extended as if the frame is a 1972 or later frame. I think the estimate $8500 value is way out of line, but there seems to be some parts value at the very least.

This no longer has a top, but it appears to run (video in the ad). Seems there may be value here.

“Parts cj5 no title no longer has windshield hard top doors, does run and move. Burns oil V6 3 speed. Will come on wheels and tires in pic. Not really looking for trades but open to offers looking to sell to finish my other cj”
This jeep lived its unused-life in a heated garage. This jeep only has 1500 miles and that’s believable given the condition shown in the pics. Thanks to John for sharing this one.

“Purchased new by Rhode Island-based Scarpetti Oldsmobile for exclusive use as a snowplow, a letter from dealership owner Edward Scarpetti indicates that the odometer’s current claim of around 1,500 miles since new is to be absolutely believed.
A lifetime of storage inside a heated garage—except during snowfall—is evident in the exceptional original condition of the well-preserved paint and overall patination. Both the dealership’s hand-lettering and white-wall off-road tires are believed to be original as well, alongside the rarely preserved metal hardtop from Koenig Iron Works of Houston, Texas. The white model 520 “Jiffy Full Cab” top features removable doors and a built-in, high-powered backup light for plow duty, and presents a delightful contrast to the Jeep’s bright President Red paint.
Other than the removable hardtop and a period-correct, dash-mounted Oldsmobile badge from the late 1950s, this CJ -5 is unmodified and features its original 2.2-liter (134 ci) powertrain. CJs were roundly the most capable factory off-roaders of the 20th century, and this CJ-5 is no different with its two-speed 4×4 transfer case and locking front hubs, all backed by the original three-speed manual transmission—more than enough hardware to tackle any early CJ rally or enter sympathetic service as a ranch shuttle.”
Here’s a first-year CJ-5 with under 50,000 miles. This has the early 0-10 King Seeley speedometer. This is a tempting one…

“Cool old jeep Willy’s cj5 in running and driving condition. Odo shows 49332 miles on the inline 4. Only surface rust, nothing eating through. Meticulously taken care of by my uncle, used as his ranch car in California. Cool patina, flip down front window, classic.”
I believe this jeep is equipped with some vintage Runck bumpers (out of North Bend, Ohio). The horizontal posts on the bumpers is the clue. The roll bar might also be Runck.

“6 cylinder, 3-speed, 4-wheel drive. Runs and drives. Was used as a farm vehicle. Would be a good jeep to fix up. Pretty solid body. Frame is good. Real nice tires. Not looking to trade!”
This has been available for a few weeks. It looks to have an overdrive and some early Free-Lock hubs. I could grab this for someone if they want the overdrive and other parts. I just want the hubs, but I don’t want a parts jeep sitting around. No description provided.

Here’s another list of jeeps that I didn’t have time to post.

It appears to have a PTO winch. Seems like there is value here.
“bring a trailer if you are not in eagle county. $2750 in Gypsum, CO”
This includes an overdrive. It sounds like it runs and drives.

This one has some 1970s era paint styling, so I thought was worth posting despite the fact that this sold quickly for $8500.
“Customized Jeep CJ-5, older renovation but still in good shape. Has dauntless odd fire engine with 3-speed manual with overdrive. I have not owned long and don’t know a lot about it but enjoy cruising around. Put a timing chain in it and new plugs when I bought it. Believe Radio works but no speakers, wiper motor needs replaced and steering is a bit loose, soft top in great shape with removable doors.”
TJ spotted this CJ-5 with a Sears Deluxe hardtop and Warn winch that’s part of an estate sale.

“1961 cj5. Has the inline four f-head engine with the three speed trans. Mechanically in great shape. Body needs rust repair but is still an original steel tub. I’ve installed tons of new parts to make it road worthy. All new brakes, brake lines, springs, hangers, new fuel tank, new radiator, new seats. I also have a soft top and soft doors for it. Just serviced all fluids, engine runs like a top, all gears high and low range work fine.”
Here’s another of the midwestern or eastern-made fiberglass flat fenders with the wide lip in the back. Listed as a 1953 CJ-3A, the chassis is actually a CJ-5 frame, so not sure where the “1953” comes from.
