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 .
Lots of upgrades on this original appearing first-year CJ-5.

“It was completely restored, but it hasn’t been driven in some time. body is in good condition, but pain need some work.”
If the body is solid this is worth a look.

“Our jeep looks original but has had everything rebuilt and or new…. engine, transmission, brakes, steering, fuel system, tires. She purs like a kitten…. starts first turn and drives great”
The trailer is available for sale, too. It seems like a full-Hatari setup.

“Frame off resto 4 years ago. 4cyl engine. Nice tires. Starts right up. Runs and drives. No rust. 3 speed manual.”
UPDATE: The jeep and tram are now priced at $5000.
Bill shared this unique jeep. It is a rare opportunity to own a former tour jeep and its associated tram. The owner is selling the building, so this does need to go.

“Jeep cj5 stick with 4 wheel drive Trailer seats 22 Needs battery As is”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
Terry shared this CJ-5. Listed as a 1961 model, the body and fenders are from a later CJ-5 (early CJ-5s had JEEP stamped in all capital on the side and no side reflectors). A DJ-5 grille has been added to the front to fit the inline 6.
“Military. I was told the jeep came from California Airforce. Straight Six cylinder engine. The jeep needs some TLC with the windshield wipers are not wired. and some other things, but give me time I will get it put together but different cost. I need a truck.
Frame on the Jeep is like new.
Taxes paid up. Title in hand. CJ5
Also I have the top skeleton but not the canvas.
Sale for $5500. or trade for $7500. Looking for 1960s Ford truck.”
Looks like a 1956 DJ-3A body on a CJ-5 chassis (not how the frame is little longer than the body).

“Looking for offers. I have a Willys Jeep titled a 1956 but I’m told it’s earlier than that. This jeep runs and drives. Frame is good and body is good except for some welded patches. Also selling a 1968 fiberglass body, a 1978 CJ5 and a 1978 Bronco Custom. Trying to thin the herd for 2021. Again, looking for offers on one or all. If I recieve good offers they’ll sell… if not, I’ll have them restored”
This is an unusual, sort of minimalistic, build.

“Fiberglass CJ5 aluminum tub Roller set up 4 Chevy Too much to list Get in touch if interested, can then you give you more info.”
Given the front and rear PTO winches, the engine (just parts value alone), and the spare tire carrier, there seems to be value here.

“Hasn’t run in many years it has a 283 Chevy motor 3 speed 4×4 and a winch on both ends call me 580 nine 6 nine 0 nine 45”

“4.3 V6 3sp OD, P.S., Disc brakes, tilt wheel, no rust, black & yellow plates,, registered. Nice Jeep. Must see. Not running.”

This has a ventilating windshield, early speedo (sometimes called a ‘silver face’.. up to serial # 49248 for the 5s, 1257 for the 6s), a PTO and other parts. It has doors (Koenig?), but I don’t see a top in the pics.

(08/12/2020) Marty spotted this rare (only one of two according to the seller) Krisit Company KT-4G Snow Cat. It uses a CJ-5 body with a Meyer hardtop.
https://www.facebook.com/commerce/products/1964-kristi-kt-4g
“This is 1 of 2 ever produced KT-4G units
Perfect item for a snowcat collector who’s looking for a unique snowcat or a very rare Kristi cat, and Yes… this is a Jeep CJ cab on it, which makes it all that better and more rare – fitting in with your Jeep collection as well.
Running engine when parked few years ago, tracks still got life in them if one wanted to simply get it started and run it for a season or more. Some rust on floor pans, but nothing that cant be quickly fixed/repaired for upcoming seasons use, or put this machine through a proper restoration and make it a museum peace for everyone to envy.
Its very complete with all of the original parts, rest can be easily purchased at most auto-part stores.
Unit is not oversized, thus making it easy to transport and deliver”
This CJ-5 has low miles with a working Auburn Trencher, rear helper coil springs, and a Koenig half-cab.
https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/cto/d/whittier-jeep-trencher/7233910801.html
“1965 Willys CJ5 with Auburn Trencher. Front blade bracket/no blade. Dual wheel adapters with extra set of rims and tires. The Jeep has the-overload coil springs with leaf springs in the rear. It’s all there. Practically no miles on motor to speak of 5,000 +or – runs great, trencher works great. I do have dually adapters with the rims and tires that will go with it. Zero rust, great piece of history.
Could be worth a look if you just want a fun sand/drag jeep. (some of the ads on the racing junk site are old, so, this may or may not be available).
