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 .
This sure looks good for the price.

I haven’t seen a top quite like this. The jeep looks very nice!
“
1961 Jeep in excellent shape. Engine is a F-134 Hurrican, 4 cylinder, runs great. Body is in great shape. Gauges, brakes, brake lights, tail lights, turn signals, head lights and horn are working with no need for repair. This vehicle is ready for recreational activities.”
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?

UPDATE: Well, I have to express a big mea culpa on this one. Ed has pointed out that this has a later model body, which could mean the miles are off as well. See Ed’s comment for more info. Thanks Ed!
“52K Miles, 3 speed Manual 4 cylinder 4 wheel drive, Great shape!! 3875 Firm.”

It sounds like plenty have been done to this jeep.
“This was my winter project. I was going to keep it but, with Jeep offering such good deals on new jeeps, prehaps a new jeep? A TON of work was done by the previous owner, I got it and finished it. All work was professionally done.

6 point full roll cage.New fuel tank with “skid pan”. Electric fuel pump.V-6 motor with low mileage, (no gunk under valve covers or timing chain cover) good oil PSI

Custom Racing seats. Everything on the Jeep works as it should. It’s not show restored, but a solid jeep. All it needs is a top and a heater to finish it off. I’ve got all the reciepts for the work I’ve done, as well as as much info as I could on the jeep, plus a list of part vendors.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
There’s no reason not to think this CJ-5 has only 29,000 miles. It’s got a vintage top, looks solid, and even comes with an extension bed in the rear.
“Hunter’s special, 2 foot bed extender – 1962 Willys Jeep, only has 29,000 mi – F-Head 134, 4 cylinder.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900
This looks like a great price.
“1955 WIllys CJ5. Good Paint. Not rusted out. Solid tub. New Bestop Top new upholstry. It has stock 4 cyl. engine with stock 3spd. running gear. 4×4 works. Nice little toy.”
UPDATE: Price raised to $3400
(12/04/09) This looks in great shape for the price.
“Neat little Jeep…fun to drive…V-6 – 3 spd – 4×4 works good – Clutch, transmission & brakes good. It hasn’t been abused or rusted out & I haven’t found any bondo repairs.
I have another project and need room in my garage. My loss – your gain. This is probably the best buy for the money in Oklahoma City. I might consider a pick-up as a trade, but nothing needing paint or repairs. I don’t need another project. Tom … 405-722-0818 or Cell: 405-606-9515.”

“Very sharp 1957 Willys Jeep with original drivetrain. This is a great offroad toy and can be driven on the street as well. This is a small price for such a classic! Will consider trade for a muscle, classic, or sports car.”
UPDATE: Here’s some before and after pics from when Jim owned this jeep. This is one of Jim’s vehicles that he rebuilt. This is likely no longer for sale.
This includes a roll cage that can be bolted in or taken out (as it is in the picture).
“1960 Willys jeep CJ5, original condition. Stock 4-cylinder, 3-speed manual, high and low range transfer
case. Full locker axles front and back. Has lock out hubs. Yes I’m sure it can out climb a Billygoat.
Beautiful full canvas top with canvas doors. Full roll cage that can bolt in or out. Working tailgate with chains. 16 inch wheels with beautiful 7.50-16 agressive 10 ply tires that really make the look. Fuel and water cans on the back. Axe and shovel also. High lift jack on the front bumper. I have a complete new stock exhaust system not installed yet. Nothing really wrong with the exhaust that is on it now though….”
This is a good looking CJ — must be those rims. Sounds like price is negotiable, partly due to a possibly bad bearing up front.
“1961 Jeep Willys CJ5 for sale. 221cu in V6. 4 speed Muncie transmission. Brand new Warn Overdrive. Low gears-great for off-roading. 4×4 works well. In 4×4 low you could get out and walk next to it. There is some noise from the front transmission bearing. Mechanic told me it’s about $500 to fix. I will take this in to consideration when negotiating price. Motor is strong. Speedo stopped working about 300 miles ago-cable broke. Comes with bikini top, half doors, full soft top, full soft doors. Has original bumper tow hitch and a Warn 1000 winch on the bumper. Tires are in good shape w/ spare on back. Carburator recently rebuilt. New radiator/thermostat/intake manifold gaskets/head gaskets. Just needs a little t.l.c. Make me an offer. Come test drive it. Jason”

It appears this has swivel seats? I’m not sure why this has the wide fenders on the back unless it’s got new running gear from some vehicle.
“This toy is in excellent condition and garage kept. Fully equipped with a Vortic V6 and dual exhaust
Not to mention this baby has new rims and tires. Way too much to list! For more info or to take a look, please call 602-810-6685. Sorry, emails will not be read.”

Rick asked me to post these pics of his 1955 CJ-5 that he has put up for sale. The VIN is 5754811227. Rick also sent me a couple of rebuilt postal jeeps that I’ll highlight tomorrow.

Asking $6000.00, or trade for a flat fender in good condition. Trade should be of equal value, or buyer willing to pay difference in value. This Jeep is ready to go.
