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 .
It appears there are four levers (tranny, two tc, and either an OD or a PTO), but I can’t tell which.
“I have a 53, ideal for a parts vehicle. Four intact fenders, Hood, and straight body. Transmission lost 2nd gear, so it has been sitting for long enough to where the motor needs a rebuild too. I know it has enough parts on it to warrant the price, so i am not very flexible.
Call anytime, if i don’t answer, LEAVE A MESSAGE!! (360)320-3080. Bryan”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.

Given this CJ-5 has an overdrive and the jeep has a new top, I think this is a pretty good price.
“1967 CJ5 with 225 Buick V6, 3 speed tranny, warn overdrive, danna 44 rear end, 27 front end, new best top with half doors, 2.5″ Rancho lift, 32″ wild country tires on 15×10 white spoke wheels. $2000.00 Call Josh (360) 528-1211”
I included this CJ-5 because the seller has done something interesting to the front grille. I haven’t decided whether I’m a fan of it or not, but it’s an interesting idea. The jeep itself looks great.
“1960 Willys Jeep CJ5 – 289 V8 3spd with warn overdrive. twin stick. New 4″ Rancho Lift, 2″ shackle lift, New 33″ mud tires on new chrome wheels from Les Schwab, New Brake Master Cylinder, New Clutch Slave Cylinder, New Rancho Dual Shocks and Steering Stablizer, AM/FM CD and CB, New Bestop and Bikini Top, Race Seats with Harness Belts, New Motor Mount Kit installed, New U Joints…”
UPDATE: Was priced at $1000
And one more great find from Brian. This is a brand new, never mounted CJ-5 fiberglass body along with enough parts to get a project started. Of course, new, the body and front clip would cost a lot more, approx $3600 from one source before taxes and shipping.
“Cj5 fiberglass tub, cj5 fiberglass front end, 2 new black front seats, black rear seat it great condition, amc 304 engine hasn’t ran in a couple years, amc 20 and amc 30 axels, cj5 frame, window frame with new glass, 2 gas tanks, front and rear drive shafts, brake pedal, gas pedal, emergency brake, steering wheel and steering box, steering shaft for axel, dash with wiring needs new gauges and a couple other small odd parts. alb1185@yahoo.com. Take it all for $1000 obo, will trade.
This looks like a good price on a nice, upgraded CJ-5.

This is a 1960 CJ-5 that got a new lease on life thanks to efforts by Jim.

After:
A reader asked me to look at a CJ-5 he was interested in purchasing. So, I spent a little time reviewing the sale of CJ-5s and was surprised to see how many are for sale and how many great deals are out there. At the beginning of 2007 I spent January and February looking for good prices on CJ-5s, so I got a pretty good idea of the market then; It’s just amazing the change 2 years later. Here’s a good example.
“Red CJ5 4X4 Jeep. Good condition. Full roll cage. Tilt steering wheel. Chevy sm. block. 4-sp. stick. 2″ lift with 31″ tires. After market wheels. Body is in Great shape. Call for more info. Possible trade for ??? but NO FORDS. I’m a chevy guy. OR Toyota 4 runner. Call Todd at 503-740-7396 or 360-835-5467”
The CJ-5 comes with a warn overdrive, a ford-top loader, a ford 289, a full cage and a set of hurricane aluminum 10″ rims. $1500 isn’t a bad price for that combo + the rest of the parts.
The FC-150 looks pretty good as well for $1500, if it comes with some of the missing parts.
“One 1959 Willys CJ5 with Ford 289 and Ford top loader four speed, Warn overdrive, starts and runs good, original 5:38 gears and nine inch brakes, 
will include parts for changing to 11 inch brakes. $1500.00 cash O.B.O. One 1959 Willys FC 150 Forward Control with Ford 289, Jeep transmission and transfer case, original 5:38 gears and 11 inch brakes. was never finished. Will come with extra FC 150 parts. $1500.00 cash O.B.O.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
This seems a great price for a good looking CJ-5.
“61 willys jeep 2” lift rebuilt 225 v6 @ transmission, 8000 lb. pto winch $1500.00 “
While looking up transmissions for the T-98 post, I came across a website that has CJ-5 decals you can purchase. The website offers VIN Stickers, Data plate decals, Tailgate decals, and more. The website carries a wide variety of data stickers. Check it out.
If I wanted to use a sticker, the one to the right would work perfectly, even though it’s designed for a “3 speed Auto D300 Twin”.
This looks like a nice cage. The body looks in pretty good shape as well. Includes a front clip as well.
“1970’s jeep tub and front clip with newer frame. full cage and windsheild. Sorry no title. Was race jeep at one time. Great project has not been cut up. Please phone calls only!!!!!!!!!!! No email axcess. (509) 990-2730 front clip is sanded and ready to paint.”
It appears the front end is slightly f&*$ed up. I’m pretty sure those front wheels should be going the same direction. If you have a front end, this one might be worth snatching up as the seller sounds like they might be will to deal to get rid of it. Maybe it’s just a broken tierod? It appears that might even be a terra tire on the front left.
“I’m selling a 55 Willys. I bought it for 1200 I don’t have the time or the money to fix it. I need to sell fast. any question please call me 360-318-5755 1200 obo”
There’s a small chance this is a CJ-3B rather than a CJ-5. No pics shown.
“Jeep is solid and runs strong, has a 350 chevy motor with a 4 bolt main, size 31 tires like new, new brakes upgraded from 9 inch to 11 inch(cost 800.00), new rag top, snow plow with mounting bracket for the jeep, great for a hunting camp or for play, must sell need room for other toys. 570-778-1008”
I’m not sure what all is combined to make this flattie. The good news is that the body appears to be in excellent condition. Lots of large pics on the Ad allow for close inspection. The seller notes that this a currently a 2wd vehicle, though in one image it looks like there is a front pumpking visible.
“4.3 chevy v6, 700r trans, tilt steering wheel. 2 wheel drive. have parts to make 4×4. $2900 obo. (714)970-8704”
Brian sent in this find. He notes that CJ-5s like this in the midwest are hard to find without being plagued with rust. As Brian note, it’s also likely to have the offset 30 spline axles.
“1971 CJ5 V-6 MOTOR 3 SPEED TRAN MILES UNKNOWN SPEEDO CABLE BROKE AT THE SIDE OF TRANS, THESE ARE THE WORKING ITEMS ON THE JEEP, FUEL GUAGE,LIGHTS,WIPERS SLOW SPEED AND FAST, HEAT LOW AND HIGH, TURN SIGNALS, LOW AND HIGH BEAM LIGHTS, WHATS THE BAD, CRACK IN WINSHEILD SPEEDO CABLE THATS IT. WHATS BEEN DONE TO IT WHILE I HAD IT, SANDED TO RIDE SOME RUST FULLY PRIMED AND PAINTED, ITS NOT A PERFECT PAINT JOB, BUT LOOKS GOOD AND CLEAN….”
UPDATE: It turns out this ad is spam. Thanks to Allen for discovering this.
“The exterior of this vehicle is VERY GLOSSY, dent free and Very nice all around! The interior is also Very nice and Clean! The condition of the body is Excellent.These are great cars and this one will give many years of reliable service. And super gas mileage !! Tires and brakes are excellent. It has just been inspected..all is fine.Im selling this car cheap anticipating a quick sale.Please email me anytime with any further questions at MatthewBaker@vanmail.us.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
“I have an ’81 JEEP CJ5 for sale and it comes with a bikini top, good tires, 4speed, golden eagle brown, new spare tire, new brake master cylinder, new clutch master cylinder, new water pump, new thermostat, new heater coil; it drives nice all it needs is some TLC. So if you are a JEEP lover then come and get this one of a kind Jeep.”
That’s a good looking CJ-5 for only $1500.
“1968 – BUICK V6 ENGINE, 3 SPEED MANUAL TRANS, DANA 44 REAR, RUNS GOOD. WASHINGTON REGISTRY TITLE. Needs some work but runs and drives. Need to sell! Must fix my wrangler.”
I don’t see any obvious issues with this CJ-5. This appears to be a great price. Minor note: the year in the title of the Ad differs from the year in the description.
“1964 willys jeep runs great serious inquireies please contact george at 360 275-2761”
Yeah, it appears there’s some rust. But, if it runs well, this may be a good find for someone.
“4-wheelin’ Rock ‘n’ Roll. Large V-6, 4 wheel drive. Mag wheels, roll bars, tow bar. *$1250 or Best Offer! Please call: 253-310-3823”
This CJ-5 has got some great extras for jeeping, including posi front and rear, full cage, dual tanks and more.
“CJ 5 Jeep 1966. 4 speed, Chev. sm. blk. 4-sp./ 4 barrell carb. Full roll cage, bimini top. Bucket seats. Tilt wheel, stereo. Possi- front and rear. After market wheels. Headers. Call 503-740-7396 or 360-835-5467”
This early CJ-5, first year of production, appears very stock and in good shape.
“Rare 1955 Willy’s jeep with a flat head 4 cylinder engine. Manual hubs, high low transfer case, & 3 speed transmission.
