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 $1000.
It’s a working plow jeep. Meyer half-cab.
1965 Jeep 4×4 with 125,000 miles Standard transmission 4cyl motor Clutch, brakes works good, tires are good. 4WD works good. 4way fisher plow works good. Runs and drives good. Frame is solid Would make a great yard jeep for winter plowing or whatever you want to do with it.”
This has an unusual front spring hanger setup with the ability to raise or lower the front spring pivot bolt.

“?? 1968 cj5 ?? Jeep NO MOTOR NO TRANSMISSION. Rolling chassis. Solid frame and body $800 or best offer. No title. Saturday special price $600 if here before 2 pm”
Oddly, this first-year CJ-5 has the 5-gauge set rather than the large KS setup. Anyone ever seen this on a CJ-5? If someone replaced the big speedo with small gauges, they did a good job.

“55 Willys CJ5. Runs. Original Hurricane 4 cylinder. Been stored under cover, solid tub. Been used on ranch since 70s. Clear title in my name. $4500 cash firm.”
The hardtop on this early CJ-5 was interesting, particularly the doors. I’m sure it’s a 1970s or later top.

“‘55 CJ5 with original motor, 3 speed, near new tires and shocks. Top and doors come off. Currently not running and needs a new battery, which I’m taking care of. Comes with original metal gear directions. Perfect for someone with the time to tinker. Odometer doesn’t work and didn’t when I bought it a few years ago.”
No pics and not much of a description. Maybe something or maybe nothing.

“1964 Willy Jeep with hard top. Its been sitting for many years. Was supposed to be a project.”
This CJ-5 is listed as a 1958, but it has the KS 0-8 speedo along with reversed front springs. So, it is likely a 1956 model. It spent much of its life in the military.

“Posting our 1958 Cj-5 jeep for sale
Former Travis Air Force Base flight line jeep transferred to U.S. Army at some point in its life.
This jeep is an excellent farm vehicle and runs like a swiss watch. It has been recently converted to 12 volt and the F134 engine runs strong with good oil pressure and stays cool even lugging around on hot days.
The soft top doesn’t have any tears and is removable.
4×4 works good, and the manual transmission shifts well.
We have used this jeep on our farm for a while and it is time to let it go to a new home.
This jeep has the typical jeep quirks, and it obviously isn’t a brand new vehicle, so it will have its issues here and there.
Located in Gilroy, clean title in hand.
Call or text anytime”
UPDATE: **SOLD** What we may be seeing is a CJ-5 Renegade I that was built in late 1970. So, even though it was a 1970 production, it is considered a 1971 model. There is a discussion about that here: http://www.earlycj5.com/xf_cj5/index.php?threads/45677/
The engine has been updated, but the Renegade stripes and purple color are still there.
“1971 cj5 renegade Spec sheet pictured from previous owner Has a new 4.3l Chevy v6 with approximately 8k miles on it. 69k on odometer thus on body Body in great shape! Nice patina on faded factory purple paint. Newer toyo tires Warn winch Collector plates Comes with optional bikini top and suicide doors. Cash only please.”
This early CJ-5 still has the KS 0-8 speedo.

Tom shared this Tux Park. I thought the body looked in great shape (especially in the back), but then I noticed on the driver’s floor what looks like a floor patch.

Unfortunately, this model never gained the popularity that was hoped for, and only approximately 460 of the CJ-6A models were ever produced!!!”
Nice wheels/tires. I’m pretty sure the faux battery box lid was phased out after the 1963 year, which suggest this might be a 1962 or earlier. Has a Meyer hardtop, with a handy-looking luggage rack, and a Ramsey PTO winch.

Glenn’s helping sell this CJ-5 with a Koenig PTO winch.
“Grampa’s JEEP just out of storage. It’s a CJ5 put together many years ago from several donors. All stock, no rust, nice full cab, free running hubs, recent paint, looks great but not show quality. Body has been weld repaired, excellent frame, brakes working well, all gears quiet, engine runs but has an ocassional skip. Nice Koenig PTO Winch as per factory specs. I just drove it around and it goes and sounds like an old Jeep should, like an old school build from the 70’s. Maybe fresh gas or some tune up will help, but you can go JEEPIN’ today. Selling for a friend, Grampa’s Grandson. Grampa lived to 100 and was a fanatic about details. Bill of Sale only. If you need title, it’s at your expense as Maine is no title needed for this vehicle. Contact me thru C.L. for phone, more pix, or discussion.”
Tom spotted this early CJ-5. It may be worth a look.

This appears to be parts from a 1970 CJ-5. The jeep pictured is a placeholder for what the seller *hoped* to build. Malaga is near Wenatchee (I had to look up Malaga).
