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 $1350.
This looks like a good price.

(10/04/2010) Al spotted this CJ-5. It appears to be in really good shape.
“Jeep Willys. I think it is a mid 1950’s model. The jeep runs and drives great, four wheel drive works perfectly. It has a four cylinder engine and three speed manual transmission. It comes with new soft top and doors and back seat. Tires are excellant. It has little rust considering its age. Please call or text 205-568-7830”

The hardtop looks in great shape. It appears there’s another CJ-5 right next to it.
“
Nice old CJ with a sweet running 283 chevy engine. Has a tow bar .. Will consider partial or full trades for 20 K generator 4×4 atv or things other than cars , pickups or SUVS. I have too many road vehicles already.”
Check out the hubcaps. The hard top might be newer, but I couldn’t say for sure. This might be a good, find.

(08/07/2010) This might be a good price given the restoration.
“This is a beautifully restored Willys CJ5. The following is a partial list of new items on a fresh restoration: Windshield frame and glass, wiring, horn and steering wheel, recored original radiator, seats for both front and back, headlights, tailights and housings, turn signal and column switches, waterpump, pulley and belt, stainless dual winshield wiper motors with blades, all gaskets are new, new Solex carb for trouble-free running, (original carb saved) all new brakes and cylinders, 5 new Grabber At tires, the list goes on and the receipts total way over the asking price. She runs and drives beautifully. The paint is gorgeous! This jeep was originally an M38 and I have most of the original parts including seat frames. You can’t buy a nice quadrunner at this price! Thanks for looking. My apologies to all that called last week. I was out of town and unable to show the vehicle. Please try again. I will trade for a Harley or older Brit bike. If offering a trade, please keep in mind that I have way underpriced this Jeep and your trade should reflect that as well. Thank you for looking. 315 492 9983 leave message. Please don’t email.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $250
There’s some value in the parts.
“I bought this from an acquaintance who needed the money. It would make a cool project, but not for me. I’m from the west where this kind of rust means the vehicle is long gone. Since moving here I’ve heard people describe this condition as “restorable” or “just a lot of surface rust”. Yeah, except both sides of each surface have rusted to form holes. It ran as of a year ago when I parked it here in the weeds, but while taking pictures I noticed the carb has been uncovered all year. It has push button start, and sounded like it was running on 3 of 4 cylinders when it ran. Plenty of blue smoke to entertain the neighbors with.
Before too long it will get hauled to the salvage yard, it’s worth $250 in steel to me, hence the price. But I’d rather see it go to someone who’ll use it or at least parts of it. I have a clear title from 1989. Brake line is missing, carb leaks fuel. It might be handy for some extra parts though, the grill and hood are decent, and there’s an extra grill included. It also has the PTO drive included. I have no idea if it’s complete, I just know I have a small steel pan with gears in it that bolts to the underside to run a PTO. I also have the original Willys tailgate, which would make a better garage decor than a tailgate because of rust. But it looks cool. The tires in the back are from my Ranger, they are about the same size as the Jeep’s and in better condition, they’ll go with the Jeep also.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2300.
This might be a good price.
“4cly 3 speed twin stick runs drives great solid frame and body”

“I am the third owner of this Jeep. I have done a frame off restoration, I have pictures and receipts for everything that has been done. Frame was blasted down to bare metal and then coated with epoxy primer. Rebuilt engine with new parts and receipt for machine work that was done. New clutch, new gaskets in the transmission and transfer case. 1300 miles since rebuild on new speedometer. Led rear brake lights. lined both sides of the tub which was sprayed in by the paint shop. Rebuilt steering, new steering wheel. The list goes on and on. Basically a new 1961 Jeep. It now has a jeep roll bar and bikini top not shown in the pics. I am wanting to start another build that i just bought but need to sell this one first. Email or call, thanks for looking.”
You can’t fault the seller for honesty.
“I am selling a jeep 1967 cj5. It is a very rare tuxedo mark 4 model. Lets be clear this jeep needs some work. The brakes are untested. I had it running this summer and has some new parts on it.

(08/31/2010) It runs. The best part is the odd top.

HOG spotted this nice looking CJ-5, though the rear end is a little high.
“You are bidding on a 1955 Willys CJ-5 that has been completely restored, and is in absolutely beautiful condition.

Here’s an unusual CJ-5 body.
“Jeep CJ-5 body, Stretched 1 foot in the door. Floor and sides armored. Willy’s tail gate. Only $200 Or Best Offer.”
The surface of this body appears good. The windshield looks good. There might be some value here.

One day a while back I got an email from a new reader named Jan. She spotted a CJ-5 sitting in a field for $500 and had a question about the VIN# and the model. We solved the VIN question and then I learned more about how Jan acquired this Jeep.
Jan wrote, “I really didn’t buy it, just offered to get it off his farm. He had a sign on it for $500.00 or best offer. All my friends are laughing at me and indicating it’s the uglist thing they ever saw…… but I fell in love with it!”
After bartering for the Jeep, Jan managed to sell the plow locally, which meant she was actually up a few hundred dollars. However, the body was so bad she knew she had to replace it, so she located a fiberglass tub for cheap in Indiana. She has also found a local mechanic that verified the frame was in good condition and the engine should restore easily. So, hopefully, next spring Jan will be driving around in a “free” jeep. Congrats Jan!
Here’s is the jeep with the top removed.
And here is the ‘new’ fiberglass body
There might be some good parts here. I’m pretty confident it isn’t a CJ-3B.
“1963 Willys Jeep CJ3B, parts vehicle, selling with bill of sale, no title. Mostly complete, been sitting for years and doesn’t currently run. $650 call Ricky at 512-789-6833.”
