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 $8500.
This CJ-5 looks pretty stock, though the V6 has been added (looks like a good install). It includes a good Kelly hardtop and a Warn OD.
“1958 Willys Jeep CJ5. Equipped with the original Buick 235 Dauntless V6 engine. 3 speed manual transmission. Twin stick T18 transfer case with a Warn Overdrive selector. This nice little machine starts right up and operates as it should.”
Blaine found this unusual CJ-5. The seller claims it was special ordered by Henry Kaiser, then given to the Boy Scouts. Hopefully, the seller can substantial the claim. Even without that pedigree, this is an awfully stock jeep in very good shape.

“This is a 1960 CJ five with 35,000 original miles. The jeep is from Hawaii. Henry J Kaiser gave this jeep to the Boy Scouts in Hawaii. The Boy Scouts sold raffle tickets as a fundraiser. When the jeep was about a year old. It wound up in Paso Robles. The man owned it past away. I Purchased a jeep 15 years ago. The stoop is always been under cover in store and in storage. It is in great condition. The color of the jeep, is the same colors as the Royal Hawaiian hotel in Hawaii. Which was also owned by Henry J Kaiser. The main body of the jeep which is painted a darker pink is the same as the hotel The light pink that is used on the grill. He’s also the same color as the trim color on the hotel. The color of the seats are the color of the tile roof that is on the hotel. This is also the same colors of used on Kaiser s Sand and gravel trucks. This jeep has an absolutely fabulous history. and I believe that it is the only CJ five. In these colors as it was a special order by Henry J Kaiser and sell.”
If the rust is as light as claimed, this early CJ-5 could be worth a look. Has a Kelly hardtop.

“Lots of new parts and recent work done. Very little rust, only on surface. Have service records of over $3500 worth of work done. Motor runs great! Hydraulic plow works and pushes snow well. Will remove at buyers request.”
Lots of original jeep here, including a “‘Jeep'” marked key. It runs, but does have body rust.

“$6000 OBO. Runs, drives, stops great. Tuxedo Mark 4, very rare. 4×4, v6, 3 speed. All original, except for brake lights, but I still have the originals. Frame is solid, no issues. Original owners manual and keys. Includes original hard top and doors. 5 new tires. All electrical except brake light switch works. Brand new gas tank. Leave as is, or restore; it’s turn key ready. Battery is less than a year old. Has original working AM radio and original factory installed, working heat”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(05/27/2021) This runs, but it appears to have a CJ-5 body melded with a CJ-3A cowl.

“Good jeep starts right up 35 firm will start it up in front of you”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3150.
This CJ-5 needs some love, but it looks promising. It’s powered by a diesel. It’s got a Koenig hardtop.
“1957 diesel willys jeep pto clutch driven winch no rust holes ran when parked 2-3 years ago open to trades serious inquiries only please”
This CJ-5 has a “panic button” installed on the dash. But, what really caught my eye, was the unusual bumper. Dualmatic made bumpers at one point. I wonder if this was one model?
https://denver.craigslist.org/pts/d/denver-willys-jeep/7332571938.html
This CJ-5 has an M-38a1 “arctic” top with the wood doors. It seems in reasonably good shape. The side of the body threw me a bit as it appears to lack the “JEEP” stamps on the cowl sides. However, the passenger side looks like it may have had some bondo work, so that may explain why this lacks the stamp (likely either cut and repaired OR bondoed over OR both).
The seller included pics of a text message where some anonymous expert labeled the jeep a “ch3a”[assuming they meant CJ-3A), based on the “one-piece windshield”. The texter continued, writing, “In military lingo I believe it is a m38 … My best guess it is a 47/48 is is definitely military because of the gas cap.”
Hmmm …

“1958 Willys Jeep cj5 hard top project in assembly phase. Parts cleaned painted surfaced for gaskets. On most parts. Block still needs to go to machine chop. Transmission ready for assembly T case is intact. PO did axles and hubs. Before purchase so it rolls.

Lots of work has been done to this already & lots of leg work already done lots of new parts already new brake lines new brakes new U joints diffs serviced hubs are packed I would really like to see this go to a good home to run someday. Sooner than later I just don’t have the time My loss is your gain. In the kizer willys mag I found the tub of this Jeep $4700 Let alone all the new parts. Already purchased countless man hours already done dismantling cleaning resurfacing. Somethings already reassembly I’d say it’s a steal”
Here’s a customized plow jeep.

“1951 M38 Jeep Project It Has A New Tub, Springs, Shocks And Steering Linkage. The Motor Is A F134 Hurricane”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
The Meyer half top may be worth the cost of the whole jeep.
“Old jeep cj rolling chassis, not sure on the year”
This has been in storage for a couple decades and hasn’t been started since. The price is listed as $10,800, but the seller is taking bids (or maybe this is listed on eBay?).

Given the bumper and the chromed windshield hinges, this might have an early Tux Park package on it?

This may be a 19790s CJ-5 chassis with a 1948 ‘Lefty’ body. It’s got a 1970s CJ-5 grille among other 1970s details.

John is selling his modified Tux Park called Quicksand.
“1966 Jeep CJ-5 Tuxedo Park. This Jeep is not perfect but does run and drive. It is not an everyday vehicle. It is not currently tagged. I let the tags expire a few years ago. Does have a clean clear title. As you know, its not everyday you see one of these 60’s Jeeps for sale. Most of them rusted away. Pictures speak for themselves. It turns every head and sounds better than any Mustang. It has brand new custom dual exhaust with original barn find flow master mufflers. 3 speed transmission. Manual steering. A 1967 Jeep Wagoneer dauntless 350 V-8 (5.7L) was swapped into it. 33/14.50/15 Mickey Thompson tires. It’s low and wide. I do have soft doors for it (not pictured). I only have the bikini top because its just a toy. It was built for classic car cruising, small shows, and ice cream shops. I have piles of receipts. It is always garage kept. To clear a few things up. I am in no hurry to sell it and I only check my messages once a day. I am only taking best cash in hand offers after a few weeks listed.”
UPDATE: Nate pulled the head off and freed up the two stuck exhaust valves. It now runs great! Also replaced the water pump that started leaking.
(05/04/2021) Nate’s selling this pieced together CJ-5 Tux Park.
http://www.earlycj5.com/xf_cj5/index.php?threads/1965-tuxedo-park-mark-iv.147547/
“Selling this tuxedo park I pieced together from several different jeeps. All of the jeeps I used had issues. One had a bad frame, but good engine and transmission, one had a good frame with a title and the other had a decent body. Yes, it does have title with vin tag and jeep trim tag attached to the blue cowl in the pics.
Comes with a bunch of spare parts, including another junk windshield frame with a good glass, chrome windshield latches and chrome hinges, chrome tail gate hinges and a column shift T90. Has tuxedo park 10″ brakes and small yoke front driveshaft. Some column shift linkage is still on the column. Blue hood has chrome hood hinges as well. Jeep runs and drives, but it has a stuck exhaust valve. Blue cowl also has a column shift dash. I have 4 extra wheels that go with it, so there will be seven wheels that match. The white one is some sort of oddball thing. The matching ones are correct for a tux park. The only coolant leak I see is from the water pump. Asking $5000 or best offer. I can deliver to the Great Willys picnic in June.”
The 3B is listed as a 1952 CJ2.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3515439378534315/
“1952 cj2 has title runs and drives. Body is on a 56 cj5 frame. 5000 takes the running one with spare parts and the old frame as well as the cj5 body with no title for parts. Currently has antique tags and is road legal but needs lots of work as none of the lights are yet hooked up. Has fresh head gasket and got head shaved. 4×4. Fun to play around with but I don’t have time and were getting a side by side. Will entertain reasonable offers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,900.
David refurbed this Tux Park CJ-5 with an early dually package.
“Up for sale is my 1964 Kaiser Willys CJ5 tuxedo park. It’s my 4th ground up restoration. I’ll start with what I didn’t do which was changed the gears in the axles as they looked great. And also I did not paint it as you could see. It’s original color was red. I did replace every race and bearing as well as front and rear hubs. All new 10” brake system (tuxedo park) front to back including cylinders and lines. All new fuel system front to back.
Completely rebuilt original Hurricane 4cyl engine. Show quality original rebuilt carburetor. Professionally rebuilt transmission and transfer case. All new u-joints. New alternator (tuxedo park had them factory) . The body is a reproduction all metal and not a bit of rust. Radiator and hoses all brand new. Right now it has a dealer sold dually farm kit on the back which is easily removed. There are seven brand new wheels and tires. Interior is all new and includes a new “Vintage Air”heater and defrost system.
Glass is new and it comes to the brand new best top super top. Frame is an excellent shape as I replace the original. Also there’s a brand new wiring kit from Walks 4wd along with an electronic distributor. I’m sure I missed a lot of items that I added to this so any questions feel free to contact me.
Oh, Also for this price will be extra parts such as the Tuxedo Park three on the tree transmission and shifter as well as the original transfer case plus many other parts. Just in case you’d like to restore it back to a tuxedo park. Approximately 150 miles on rebuilt engine.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** for $12,500 on BAT.
