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: Price droped to $2500. Looks like a good price

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
The parts jeep looks like it might have battled a car compactor; it’s pretty beat up.
“I have for sale two Willy’s jeeps. Yellow jeep is a 1956 has a nice tub. runs and drive has no brakes. Red and green jeep hasn’t run in awhile still turns body is rough, has a plow and hard top? both jeeps are powered by a four cylinder flat head engine and also have a spare engine to go with them. make a nice project just don’t have the time to get to it. Like to sell as a package. $3,000.00 or Best offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
I’ve got a couple good guesses as to why the battery isn’t charging. Both are a cheap fix. This might be a good price.
“I have decided to sell my jeep willys. Its a 1960 with a 302 v8 engine in it. The engine is good but needs the cooling system worked on in it.For this I would prefer for someone to trailer it home due to overheating. It does have a few oil leaks which is typical for a jeep 50 years old. The body is in great shape with very little rust (like 5%) The interior is complete with newish seats and all gadges work. There is an electrical issue with the battery not staying charged but it should be an easy fix. Ive just lost interest and want a bike. This is a great jeep and would be an awesome project for someone with some time and very little money to invest.”
This sure looks good for the price.
“1960 Willys CJ5– GREAT CONDITION for a 60’s model ! Front PTO winch. original 4cyl motor. $2350 OBO ! Needs a good home ! MAke me an offer I cant refuse ! 918-476-5246 h 918-694-4948 cell John”

(12/17/09) It runs and apparently stops, too.
“1955 Willys Overland cj5 RUNS AND DRIVES!!! TAKE IT ON THE BIG HUNT RIGHT AWAY! You could make this one nice project! Or… enjoy it as is! -Runs and drives! -Tow-Bar on front. -Bikini-top, Heavy-Duty Vinyl cover, -Gas Can. -Heater. -Spare tire with rim. -Lots of extra parts.
An all around fun vehicle to tool around in. Take it camping, take it hunting! Tail lights are already set up for easy connection so you can pull this behind you on the big deer hunt! You see a lot of Willys Jeeps sitting around in fields and back lots that don’t even run and people are asking crazy prices for them. Here, we have a running and driving piece of history! ”
Brett forwarded this. It looks solid, but you’d better like diamond plating!
“This jeep has been completely re-done a few years ago. We did a ton of body work, new paint, new roll bar, re-covered front seats, and completely re-built motor. We put hours and hours into this thing…And we loved it.
It has been used as a hunting jeep and probably gets less than 100 miles on it per year. We have kept all the maintenance current and have no complaints. The motor is a Buick 225 6 Cyl. Four wheel Drive. 3 speed manual. There is 81,292 miles on it but since the motor was re-build in 2005 we have put less than 500 miles on it.
Being so old, there are a few kinks. There is a slight oil leak that we can’t trace. It isn’t bad so we just ignore it. The brakes need to be done but worked well enough for inspection last year. It also has a few scratches in the paint, as it was used for off-road. The tires are in good condition and there is no spare. We do have an extra rim, but there is no tire to go with it. We have soft doors that we will include but they are not assembled. The speedometer doesn’t work.”

http://boston.craigslist.org/nos/cto/1638071924.html
UPDATE: Still Available
(12/21/09) I doubt this will fetch the asking price, but it looks like a great restoration. That doesn’t look like an original color?

(01/03/2010) This is an interesting build as it sports a jeepster front clip. I can’t remember seeing this done. I think it works pretty well. I’d check out the frame closely, as the seller had a problem with it during an outing.
“This is my prize 1963 CJ5 rock crawler that due to the lack of interest and the need of money for property taxes, I must let go. I easily have $15000 invested in this and the only thing left on it that’s 1963 is the rear axle housing.

16. And much too much more to list
Here’s what needs to be finished;
1. Needs to have a roll cage built
2. Needs exhaust redone
3. Has some minor electrical gremlins searched out
This Jeep has been on most of the trails at Moab, Rubicon, Fordyce, Barrett Lake, and Browns Camp to name a few. This Jeep has been a constant work in progress for me for the last 25 years or so, but time to move on. Really need to get $5000 out of this, but cash talks so make me an offer. Would consider trades for nice FSJ, Hot Rod, Rat Rod, Drag race parts, Dually, AMC’s, Car Trailer, or anything else you have I might find of interest. I work odd hours but I’m available from 9 in the evening till about 9 in the morning at 503-784-1622 during the week and all weekend. Leave a message or email and I’ll get back to you.
