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 might have the Hudson Steering upgrade.

Looks like a good price for this former City of New Haven hardtop.
“I have what seems to be a New Haven CT highway dept. or DPW jeep hard top and doors as well as a hood, tailgate, windshield frame and grill. the hardtop is in decent shape, all of the glass is perfect accept for a one of the small rear windows. The hard doors have glass intact and crank up and down. The windshield frame is in very good condition but the glass is cracked in the middle. the top has roof rails and an orange flasher on top.”

Appears to have a Koenig hardtop. It has the Gov plate which should document the jeep was in the Forest Service.
“65 JEEP CJ6 Forest Service Jeep $8500.

This must be a pretty early CJ-5 given the speedo. That hoop is crazy vintage (not sure it would do much good if you did roll). And yet, it’s so odd, I like it.
“1955 Jeep Willys 4×4 4 cylinder overhead valves. 99% original. Runs! 27,458 miles. Used as a hunting rig and we have upgraded to a more modern vehicle. Asking $3,500 OBO.”
This one-owner rare CJ-5 Super Jeep is for sale.

“For sale is a very nice example of an unmolested early Willys Jeep CJ5. Its a 1957 with just over 14,000 original miles.. Starts, runs, drives, and stops as it should. This would be an incredible piece to do a full restoration on or just enjoy the originality and patina of it and hop in and go just like it is. That was my original intention on this one, just to address a few of the minor rust spots and enjoy it just like it is and was meant to be.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $24,000 CDN
Apparently, this was author John Irving’s jeep at one point. Note that it appears to have later model fenders.
Has some dings, but it appears to be a solid, pretty stock CJ-5 ready for some jeeping. Looks like a good price.

“68 CJ5 all original v-6 4×4 3 speed manual tran $3,450.00 obo”
UPDATE: SOLD. Was $750.
This is a unique item that Roger Martin spotted. If you are a CJ-5 collector, you probably don’t own a CJ-5 chassis sporting an original Frank Zamboni-created Model FH!
“This is a 1959 FH model zamboni built by Frank Zamboni himself. The serial number is FH197 less than 20 of these were ever built. It is the high capacity model designed for outdoor ice rinks. It needs a complete restoration it’s built on a Jeep cj5 frame and Jeep 4cyl concerted to propane. It was running and being used in Lake Placid up until about 6 years ago when a new machine was purchased. At that time this one started to be stripped down to restore bc it’s such a fascinating piece of history, but have run out of time to put into it. I am going to put the listing up for 7 days no reasonable offer will be refused”
Maybe someone can find some value here? Thanks to Seth for spotting it. The pics of the jeep are below, but can also be found at the bottom of a long list of pics using the link below.

Steve spotted this Perkin’s diesel CJ-5 with a PTO, ventilating windshield, and a Meyer half cab.
https://reading.craigslist.org/cto/d/conshohocken-1966-willys-jeep-cj5/6946132709.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Between the hardtop, overdrive, and winch, there could be some value here.
“1957 Willy’s Jeep, 3 speed with overdrive, 4 shifters. Buick V6 conversion. Hard top winch new tires tow bar. Nice old Jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** $2700. Paul pointed out that his probably has a ventilating windshield.
Runs and drives. If the rust isn’t bad, it could be a reasonable price.
“U.S. Forest service Low time unit. Has been stored for long time, runs like a champ.”
Engine is locked but seller has an extra one.
https://maine.craigslist.org/pts/d/shapleigh-1960-jeep-willys/6941096701.html
“Was using it as a plow but the engine locked up but I have a engine to put in it just dont want to bother putting in as i have a plow on my 2018 jeep”
Given the half top and the plow, there should be value here.

“1959 Willy’s Jeep. Needs work. Plow is included.”
Mike spotted this odd combination of parts. It’s a fiberglass CJ-5 replica body on a 1966 VW Chassis powered by a 16hp Kohler air cooled engine. Starting bid is $6000.

This could interest someone. Rims, fenders, hubs and a PTO winch all look good.
https://bend.craigslist.org/pts/d/chiloquin-1958-jeep-cj-5/6940480326.html
“I bought this jeep to make a crawler out of and have since decided not to pursue that. I have a few extra Willys parts that I can include for a reasonable offer.
The good:
The outer skin on the body is pretty straight one fender is very straight and the other fender is not bad . It has locking hubs both axles are complete it has a PTO winch that is complete with a driveshaft.
Most importantly it has a clean Oregon title and Vin number.
The bad:
There is essentially no floorplan on the driver side passengers isn’t much better. And the frame is actually rusted badly around the drivers foot well.
For my intended purposes, which was using the Vin number and the outer skin and sheet metal it was perfect.
Jeep is located 90 miles south of Bend. I could possibly help with delivery if I have to.”

“A 1967 Jeep CJ5. Bought this as a basket case and took it down to the frame. Frame and axles were cleaned and painted with POR15. Axles drained, cleaned out and refilled. Transmission is rebuilt by Herm-the-Overdrive guy. Brake lines all new and professionally installed, all new brake components. Rims cleaned and powder coated with new all-terrain tires installed.
Tub was removed cleaned and painted with year correct paint, undercoated with an asphalt sealer. New gas tank and lines installed, carburetor rebuilt. The entire electrical system is all new. Re-built Dauntless V6 installed, however compression is a little lower than it should be. Runs well but needs tweaked to get it running better. New exhaust system, new alternator, new gauges, new windshield, new Smittybuilt XRC 9.5K winch on an aftermarket bumper and new seats.
Like most of these will need a little tinkering to bring it up to it’s full potential but all the hard, and expensive stuff has been done. I have extra parts and an extra engine (that needs rebuilt) to go with it. Clear title. Have over $14.000 into it at this point but just don’t have the time to keep up with it and drive it. I’m probably forgetting lots of other things I’ve done and installed but you get the idea.
Hope to find it a good home. I’ve had a blast with it.
Can help with delivery if within 200 miles.”
Roger Martin forwarded this unfinished project. Maybe there’s some parts value here for someone?

Ted shared this unusual blend of a Surrey and a Tux Park. It sure looks nice. The seller doesn’t mention that the Surrey upgrades are incorrect for this model, but the seller is correct that if you want something unique to bring to a jeep event, this qualifies.

“1965 Jeep CJ-5A Tuxedo Park Mark IV – An “upscale” Jeep was named after the upscale Tuxedo Park in New York, which was the birthplace of the tuxedo. Elvis drove a similar Jeep in the 1965 movie “Tickle Me” which also starred Julie Adams. Tuxedo Park Jeeps were also driven in President Lyndon Johnson’s inaugural parade in January, 1965.
This special edition Jeep came standard with chrome bumpers, wheel covers, column shift, fold-down rear license plate, fold-down windshield, and a little more highway-friendly rear gear. Standard running gear is a 4-cylinder engine and 3-Speed manual transmission. Optional equipment on this one includes the surrey interior & top, 4-Wheel-drive, and “full” passenger seat. It has been retrofitted with seat belts for safety. Just like Elvis’ Tuxedo Park, this one is finished in Marlin Blue. Continue reading
