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 $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.

“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 needs the brake system to be finished and the clutch linkage to be installed. It does need a gas tank too. 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.

Come over and look at all that there is, and make me a offer I can’t refuse”
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.
3 speed manual
6 volt
Starts easy and runs good.
Call for more details.”
Has updates, but sure looks good for the price.

“Cj5
Scout axles
Tubbed frame
4.3 lt v6
Larger gas tank
Automatic
Bikini and full soft top with doors
Runs drives ready for some mud”
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.

UPDATE: As Gayland and Mitch point out, this has some DJ-5 stuff.
Could be worth a look.

“Very good condition. No rust! 26,000 miles. Hurricane motor. Easy to restore to original”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Jeep lacks brakes and the trencher needs some work. Has a Meyer half cab and a plow up front.
“Here is one of the Holy Grails for the Jeep Collector. The “Jeep-A-Trench.”
I recently uncovered this Jeep from a farm in Winters Texas. The rancher had owned the Jeep since the 1960’s or so. It has the ultra rare Jeep-A-Trench rear end and the front mounted Dozer blade. It is also outfitted with the Arctic top and hard doors. All the glass is good and I even have the back cab glass thats in perfect shape. The seal just dried up.
The Jeep has no found rust through, been in Texas since new. Even the under seat tool box is solid. The Jeep was paint industrial yellow likely when the gear was installed. But the factory original was that nice turquoisey blue.
The Jeep runs and drives but currently has no brakes. The front blade still works and automatic raises and lowers from inside cab. The rear Trencher is all there minus needing a new drive chain and slide on dual sprocket. The unit is otherwise 100% complete.
The Jeep has four new tires and a new battery. I had never even seen one of these Jeeps. There’s a brass data plate that states….”Jeep-A-Trench” on the Jeep. Super cool find.”
Includes a Jeep-A-Trench trencher and a plow.
