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 .
It’s free.

“Good project runs but needs some work good project message me for info”
UPDATE: The site linked to below appears to be a click-bait site rather than a dealer listing site. I’ve updated the post.
http://www.2040-cars.com/Jeep/CJ/1974-original-cj5-renegade-983734/
“This does not come around often…say once every 40 years.
This 1974 is completely factory original. The paint is original as Toledo applied it, graphics, seats, windshield, body, engine….everything. I spent months cleaning and polishing and detailing every part of this jeep to get back to showroom condition.
I purchased this vehicle from the original owner in Missouri. She was a widow of 33 years. This jeep was her husbands and the couple owned a summer cottage on a lake just outside KC. He purchased it new in Kansas City in 1974 and took it directly to their summer home. There he put 22, 250 miles on the jeep until 1981 when after he had put the vehicle in the garage or the evening he had a stroke and shortly died. The jeep was left in the garage for 33 years by his widow so as to preserve his memory along with all his other trappings.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
Seems like there is some value here.
“I bought this beauty 18 months ago with great aspirations of having a “fun garage project” for the same model and year of vehicle I learned to drive in way-back-when. Great intentions! Unfortunately, I have had practically ZERO time to work on it and my wife wants her garage back. Long-story-short….the first 1k gets it and I will have peace in the my home. By the end of this coming weekend, Sunday, 2/17, if it’s not gone, it gets donated to Kars-4-Kids.
What you get….1959 Willys CJ5 with a 225 Dauntless 6 cylinder, 3 speed, 4wd. I bought new drum brakes, brake cylinders, and master cylinder and those all go with it (I have receipts….$700). I drove it for about 10 miles right after I bought it and I realized the brakes were about to go…..and they did. I just never did the work on installation. Also, a new steering wheel….nothing wrong with the existing one other than it has some wear…for you to swap out. Also included is a Willys parts catalog. Engine runs fine. Tires are all fine. Just has NO brakes.
If this is for you, you need to trailer it home….remember it has NO brakes. I have clear title. Clock is ticking.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $27,500.
Maury shared this nicely restored CJ-5, but it it’s not cheap. This also appears to have some rare Cutlas Bulldog hubs.
“Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this fully restored 1959 Willys Jeep CJ-5. After WWII, Willys smartly capitalized on the success of their military Jeeps and began producing a ”Civilian Jeep” – or CJ – and the rest is history. This ”Universal Jeep,” as it was marketed at the time, was a huge hit and over 600,000 CJ-5s were produced from 1954 to 1983 – but few have been restored to this standard.
This CJ-5 was used as a grounds service vehicle for a drive-in movie theater in Cleveland, Ohio before being discovered and purchased in 2010 by a gentleman who embarked on a frame-off, nut-and-bolt restoration to exacting standards. The original tub was deemed to be too far gone to practically restore so a new steel tub was sourced from Willys-Overland Motors in Toledo, OH. The original fenders, hood, grille and windshield frame were in good condition and were retained for originality. The frame was media blasted and detailed. The correct President Red paint is excellent outside, inside and under the hood and the body is super straight.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $19,000.
This looks in good shape, though it does have a few mods. Has anyone ever seen dual tank inlets light the ones on the rear of this jeep? (At least I think those are gas inlets).
Sam’s selling his CJ-5. You can email him at sameshea@gmail.com
“I have a 1959 CJ5 that is in good shape, titled and plated PA Antique, runs good, has a good frame, some bondo on the tub but new front fenders, new dash new wiring, new exhaust, has the period correct rear hitch and I have a box of parts that I was going to use to restore it. Priorities have changed and I would like to sell it. It is all there and would be nice to go to someone that can appreciate and restore it. More pictures available.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This includes a rare set of Kelly Hubs.
“Motor runs but needs a fuel pump PM for details Price negotiable”
The hubs on the front chassis look interesting.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/301264837333680
“Two frames, 2 sets of front fenders, 2 hoods, 2 front windshields with frames, 2 transmissions with transfer cases”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3700.
Looks like a good price. It has some early Cutlas PowerLock hubs.
“Runs great. 4cyl manual 4 wheel drive.”
Maury spotted this CJ-5 that’s only reach $6000 with 2 days to go. It looks nice.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-jeep-cj5/
“This 1971 Jeep CJ5 was sold new at Complete Motors in Fort Collins, Colorado, and later moved to Kansas and Texas before being acquired by the selling dealer six years ago. The truck was reportedly refinished in red in 2003 and is powered by a 225ci V6 mated to a 3-speed manual transmission. Modifications include a suspension lift over aftermarket wheels with 33″ tires as well as aftermarket lighting and a Warn Belleview winch. This CJ is offered with a soft top and doors, records since new, and a clean Texas title.”
I think the price includes both the CJ-5 and the Topeka Mower.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/246866629546910
“Both jeeps run great the plow is a 1953 Topeka hi way mower one of the last few of its kind. Both engines are fresh on the jeeps FOR SALE OR TRADE”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2600.
Given the Meyer top, the plow, and the running condition, this might be a good price. the body is rough, but we’ve seen much worse.
“1962 CJ5 with original (or at least correct period) hydraulic lift plow.
Starts, runs, and drives. Plow operates as well.
It has F4-134 Hurricane engine and 3spd manual trans. High/Low on transfer case both working.
Factory heater. Hard top and doors (with roll up windows).
System was converted to to 12V including recent alternator which is charging as it should.
Frame is good, body has some patches and could use some more attention but plows just fine as-is.
Needs a brake pressure switch for brake lights to work but headlights and taillights are working.
Valve lash just adjusted and valve covers replaced.
Windshield has a crack but not leaking.
Bill of sale only – no title available.”
Could be some value here given the half cab.

This has a dual PTO and what I believe are Free-Lock branded Dualmatic hubs.

“I picked this up as a barn find about three years ago without seat frames, seats, wheel/tires, etc.
I have a considerable amount of time and money into it to get to this point.
Here are the details:
Clear title in hand.
The tires are brand new with less than 5 miles on them.
Seat covers are brand new.
Engine has good compression, starts and runs fine. Transmission shifts as expected.
Top has some yellowing on the clear plastic and a zipper that needs to be fixed. I understand there is a product that can mitigate that issue.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $2750.
(09/15/2018) This would benefit from a Bobcat hood.

“Great project Willys. I have 2.5 willys Jeeps for sale all for one price. The main Jeep is a 1961 willys CJ5 ( with title) with a 255 V6 that runs. Like I said it is a project Jeep.

It has a ’48 Willys fiberglass tub in fare shape with two front window one glass and one poly. The other 1.5 is a full frame ’48 willys ( no title ). It has all original the drive train in place Flat head Willys in line 4 cyl. Jeep will roll but I do not know if it will run.

It’s plow ready.

“4 wheel drive. Hard Top. 4 cylinder. Plow included!
Good condition”
Tom shared this low-mileage CJ-5. It has a documented history. Seats have been changed to cloth (read story), so at first they look worn, but it’s just the type of material. Overall, it seems in great shape.
http://www.sellajeep.com/mjs/sale18/adm347/adm347.html
“This CJ5 is all original. It has only 39,359 miles. Runs very well and has been driven a couple times a month. The original owner was a lady. I bought it from her in 2014. I replaced the radiator, fuel tank, shocks, leaf springs, heater core, tires, and gave it a tune-up. I only did this to maintain this jeeps integrity and dependability going forward.
Paint is excellent and shines as new. There is some noticeable wear after 43 years. I have taken it to local car shows and everyone is amazed at its condition. The hardcore car enthusiasts tell me over and over to do nothing more to this jeep. It has a documented story, it’s in rare shape, and is shows and runs amazingly well.
This is perfect for the individual wanting a daily driveable jeep or just a weekly joy ride without having to work on it first. It needs nothing mechanically. It is sound and fun to just putt-putt in.
I have a brown soft top, roll bar, rear mounted spare tire rack and owners manual. I also have the poster I had made telling a brief history of the jeep that I use at the shows.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
It runs and drives.
“4-cyl.

Has updates, but sure looks good for the price.

“Cj5
Scout axles
Tubbed frame
4.3 lt v6
Larger gas tank

Bikini and full soft top with doors

This appears to have a PTO, a PTO winch and an overdrive. Could be a good price. It also has what is probably a later model (cj-3a/dj-3a) flathead for some reason.

“1962 Willy’s Jeep cj5 according to what I found on the internet. Correct me if I am wrong – pic of Serial number attached. Needs work. Great project. Need it gone ASAP. Make an offer”
UPDATE: Half top is gone and the price dropped to $600 (thanks Andy!).
I’ve not seen a cover on the front hubs like this one has.

“Last ran 2 years ago. Previous owner said it had carburetor issues. It is not stuck. Rolls good. It is what it is. No title. Bill of sale only. No plow.”
If you need a cheap fiberglass tub, this might work. This needs a little work, but my tub was WAY worse than this one.
https://westernmass.craigslist.org/pts/d/lee-willys-jeep-fiberglass-tub/6782778158.html
“USED fiberglass tub AND original metal hood. The pictures show the condition of the tub, the hood is not shown in pictures it is inside and hard to photograph. Also have windshield frame.
All for one money 125.00”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5800.
(08/19/2018) This is a combination of a 2A and a CJ-5.
https://ventura.craigslist.org/cto/d/port-hueneme-flat-fender-jeep/6734698511.html
“Jeep is a 1963 CJ5 with a 1946 CJ2A flat fender body. Engine is a 3.8l v6 with 3 speed th350 trans. Engine is from a 1978 Buick century (according to block #). rear end is Dana 44 and front is full width Dana 30, about 4″ wider than rear. I believe it has 5:38 gearing, top speed around 45mph. Lots of new parts including: fuel pump, water pump, windshield glass, 4 point harnesses, seat covers, steering shaft/joints. I also built a tube steel sub-frame to mount the body to the frame because the old mounting channels were rusted out and useless. Roll bar is now mounted to sub-frame in the front and not the floorboards.
I have a soft top/doors with all the mounting hardware, windows are foggy but top is in OK shape. Comes with a tow bar and lights. runs and drives great, just got the new tags and have pink slip in hand. Lots of fun, real head turner. Great for trips to the store, beer runs and off course off roading. Not good for freeway or commuting!! I do not/have not had the time to enjoy this so just been sitting except for occasional trip to dinner when I want to look really cool! serious buyers only please, Test drive with cash in hand.
$7,500 obo”
It’s a DJ-3A Body on a 1970s(?) 4WD chassis. No description provided.

Could be worth a look.
