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 .
The CJ-5 looks solid. It has a Kelly hardtop. This could be a good price for the right person.

“No title . Was going to use it for parts need to clear out some projects. Body had rust engine missing parts . Would be good parts or build a trail rig or mud unit”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3800.
(11/09/2023) Here’s a former Yakima Ridge Runners Jeep.

“This is a custom trail jeep sitting on 36″ super swampers. Not currently running but will turn over with a new battery. Was owned by my father and came into my possession after his passing. After some years I am ready to sell and make room in my garage”
I thought this build looked interesting. Wish there were more pics. No description provided.

Maybe some value here?
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/727362022609751
“Best offer two jeeps one complete with a Buick v 6 runs needs new fuel tank or clean out the one in it. Other has no interior but have the original 4 cylinder motor and three tranny’s n transfer cases + two spare sets of original axels.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2100.
(12/04/2023) This appears to have an extra shift lever (probably an overdrive). It also has a Koenig bed extender and a Sears-style half-cab. There could be some value here.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1303466720370982
“1959 Jeep Willy’s project, everything is there. Has a 6 cylinder engine that does not run but it isn’t seized up. 3 speed manual transmission, hi and low range shifter, four wheel drive shifter, and it has a pto lever for a winch on the front. Pretty cool little project. Price is obo make an offer.”
UPDATE: Still Available. I’m a little surprised this hasn’t sold yet.
(07/17/2023) At this price, it deserves more pics and a closer look.

“1969 CJ needs complete restoration very clean body title in hand. Once again this vehicle needs a complete restoration it does not run! Will make someone a great builder/project.”
This has an early KS 0-10 speedometer., so I am guessing this is a 1955. There might be some value in parts here.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1092221328695593
“The old Jeep outside of the Use Again Store! Fully complete with engine and transmission still installed. No paperwork, no VIN, not a whole lot of other information available! Come check it out!”
Might be worth a look for parts at the very least. The doors are Meyer, but the half cab has been modified some.

“This is a 1965 Kaiser Willys CJ-5 with a Hurricane 4-cylinder as well as a half cab, and an uncommon dome light on top. Looking for $1000 Or best offer. Pros It’s cool It has a clean title and is the ORIGINAL title Has a snow plow and I believe a willys branded hydraulic pump for the plow Has a rare dome light Has a half cab Has a bunch of good parts and semi good parts! …and bad parts if you’re into that… It is complete other than the natural weight reduction Has a factory heater And the frame is good
Cons DOES NOT RUN DOES NOT DRIVE WILL NEED TO BE PUT ON A TRAILER Tub is VERY rusted out, and the motor is stuck. It definitely a parts deal or a project.”
No battery, so unclear if this runs or how long it has been sitting. That said, the seller is correct. This a pretty stock jeep with a Koeng hardtop. The rear passenger quarter panel does have some bondo.

“I have this CLEAN old barn find jeep for sale. 100% original EVERYTHING with exception of old repaint. UNMOLESTED JEEP! 1959 cj5 w/original ohv drivetrain w/ hardtop since new. 20,325 verifiable original miles ! $4500 Texas title jeep! Possible trade trades trading”
John shared this former CJ-5 that was setup as a camper model.
https://allentown.craigslist.org/pts/d/easton-1970-jeep-cj5-225-buick-v6-warn/7697881943.html
“70 Jeep CJ5. Runs and drives. Currently tagged antique and tag is transferable to new owner if here in Pa. Factory 225 Buick V6 mated to a t-14 3 speed with Warn Overdrive. Factory 4.88 gears. Has a SSBC disk brake conversion for front brakes. Jeep does have rot in the floors but frame looks good. I can get as many pictures as necessary. Jeep has a cool story as it was originally built as a camper. Google “CJ5 Camper” and you will see it. 6 1/2 foot Meyer Power Angle snowplow. Nice 30 inch mud tires with matching spare. Snow is coming! Any questions feel free to ask!”
Looks like there is some value here.

“Unsure of mileage and year. Runs and plows, 4×4 works, tire chains, and no title. Will not part out! What you see is what you get. Serious buyers only!! Possibly trade for farm tractor in decent condition or hunting stuff plus cash.”
Runs and drives. Appears to have some patches.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/348378637680850
“Runs and drives has new gas tank new interior. All the lights and blinkers need wired up. And the dash needs to be put back in. Project car. Clean title. Let me know if you have any questions. 3500$”
CJ-3B lacks an engine, but includes PTO + winch.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1093472434988915
“63 cj3B has clean co. Title, pretty much complete except engine,comes with transfer case, pto winch. Is in decent condition for a1963, one rust but easy fix. The 1967 ?, is for frame and axle swap to the 1963(pretty much a direct fit)no title for the 1967 $3500.00 for both or best offer.must see in person. No negotiation on line.”
Here are some slides with jeeps currently for sale on eBay. The first one is an unusual tour jeep that I hadn’t seen previously. It’s somewhere at least semi-tropical, based on the upper right tree.
1. Here’s an FC-170 setup as a tour jeep. It appears to include a bed-extension on the back.
2. This slide shows a yellow CJ-5 and a ticket office at Harney Peak Black Hills SD:
3. This next two slides share images from 1962 of a Maine Forest Service MB. This is slide one:
4. This is slide two:
5. And, finally, this slide shows a rare yellow DJ-3A used by the Sault Ste. Marie Chamber of Commerce. I don’t have many vintage photos showing a DJ-3A in the original yellow color (though they do appear on several brochures).
Matt’s selling this stock CJ-5. He wanted to give eWillys’ readers a first shot at it (thanks Matt!). This is sold with a bill of sale only, though it does have a serial number.
“Up for sale is my 1964 CJ5. This is a very original CJ5 that still wears its original president red paint. Odometer reads 2,900 miles. This Jeep came from the family of its original owner who used it as a runabout on his farm. It does not currently run but everything is there and it should run with a bit of work. I did open up the transmission to make sure everything was okay and it was like new inside. I believe it was parked in the 80s. Unfortunately it was parked in a damp part of the barn so the tub has a decent amount of rust. Front floors are completely rotted out including the toolbox floor. Rear floor and wheel wells have a few bad spots but are usable.
The rest of the jeep is in pretty good shape and the front fenders, hood, grille and windshield are very nice. Tailgate is nice too and still has the original 4 wheel drive stencil on it. Frame looks to be solid with just a little rot in the rear crossmember/bumper. 60/40 bench seat with original fabric. Tailgate chain covers are still intact. Really a time capsule of a CJ5. Nothing has been cut up or modified. This Jeep is perfect for someone who loves patina/original paint survivors and is willing to go through it mechanically, put some new front floors in it and enjoy it just the way it is. That was my plan but I just don’t have the time. Asking $4500. Sold with a bill of sale only. It does have a serial number. Located in Connecticut. Thank you”
This has potential. The stock hardtop and Koenig (?) bed extension look in good shape. The 0-8 King Seeley speedometer still has its needle, too.

“Family has decided to sale Grandpa’s Jeep CJ5.Was running when parked in the shed. I put a wrench on the crank and it rolls over easy. $3000 or best offer.”
Blaine shared this solid Renegade with a few updates.
https://westslope.craigslist.org/cto/d/austin-1971-jeep-cj5-renegade-ii/7685456219.html
“Just a clean old Jeep with a ton of new parts. Here are a few of the bigger ones.
Rebuilt T14 transmission and transfer case
Front disc brake upgrade
4 new 31×10.50 tires
New fuel tank and fuel lines
New wiring harness
New master cylinder and rear brakes
New wiper motor and windshield
And the list goes on!!”
Mike spotted this cool find. It appears to be a 1957-1964, but maybe someone else can narrow it down a little more.

“50 – 60’s believe CJ 5 jeep with trencher. NO TITLE”
John shared this CJ-5 with a Meyer-style half cab, a plow, and no paperwork. This one lacks the battery box lid (making it a 64 or later), but has a WILLYS tailgate (which was halted for 1963 models). My guess is that this is a mid-1960s CJ-5 to which someone added an older or replacement tailgate.

“1955 to 1971 Civilian Jeep CJ5 4×4 For Sale!

This seems worth a look.Includes a Kelly Bonanza Top, a plow, new tires, and other parts.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/508017581541376
“No title, can provide bill of sale. Antique compact jeep with working snow plow. My dad had it running but it needs some work, there is either a timing or distributor issue. Has a brand new carburetor, new tires, and new battery. No key ”
UPDATE: Andy pointed out an unusual Ramsey data plate on this rig. Anyone seen another one like it?
Steve shared this running CJ-5 with a dual PTO and plow.
https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/pts/d/easton-1963-willys-jeep-cj5-snowplow/7677429252.html or https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/944104280406315
“1963 Jeep CJ5 old plow jeep. Runs and drives but has zero brakes. PA paperwork in hand. Rare Ramsey dual Outlet PTO for front and rear winches or Farm implements. Power take off does work. Jeep gas tank rotted out a few years ago. Is running off of a small tractor gas tank under the hood. Does need lots of metal work as there’s not much floor left. Frame seems solid. Plow works good.”
This appears to include a Warn OD.

“1957 Jeep Willy’s needs to be finished, it has a Buick V-6 mated to an automatic transmission, I bought this project to get running but decided to pass it on to the next owner. Currently on Non-opp and I have the clean CA. Title in hand. Asking $2,000. I will consider trade and possibly add some cash if you have a pre smog running short bed Chevy or GMC truck. If add is up, it’s available so please don’t ask”
Blaine shared this CJ-5, noting the hardtop looked unusual, which the rear of it does. After some research, I felt it is a Koenig Jiffy Cab 520 for the CJ-5 (see an Aug 1957 brochure here). This is the first time I’d noticed that the Jiffy Cab 520 had an unusually wide rear door with slim sides (not room for side windows in the back).

“The jeep is pretty-much untouched and original (except for the paint). Last year before AMC bought Jeep. It has the factory 3.7l Dauntless V6 motor, three-speed transmission and factory PTO winch. Split bench seat.
The motor is strong with as-new oil pressure. A prior owner put a 3.8l intake on it so it can use the Delco electronic ignition. Dual exhaust, as new. Transmission good as are the brakes. I hate antique cooling systems, so a new radiator and heater core. Headlight replacements should be in today (3rd), LEDs with glass faces.
The paint job was for protection since it came to the coast, mediocre base coat, clear coat. The hard top was bought when the Jeep was new. Neither roof or the body show rust, it came from Talent, very dry country. It has a mis-matched tire, and needs little jobs for it to be the daily driver.
This is an old Jeep, old school. No power steering, just a big steering wheel. No power brakes or cruise control. Early Jeeps are strong and reliable, but have little in common with modern Jeeps.
I am willing to consider trades, even non-vehicle, if the trade seems right, or $6k. I have varied interests.”
