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 $7000.
(09/16/2013) It’s been repainted, but looks in great shape.
“NEWER PAINT AND UPHOLSTRY
VERY NICE CONDITION
RUNS GOOD
TOW BAR
VERY LOW MILES, UNDER 10,000
VALUED AT $14,000”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
(06/04/2017) Looks nice. This has an early 0-10 speedo, but the front spring shackles aren’t reversed. I believe they should be reversed if this is truly a ’55 (I thought the springs were reversed at least into ’56?).
“1955 Jeep Willys – 4 wheel drive, manual transmission, 2.2 4 cylinder engine, new tires. Starts….runs….drives….4 wheel drive works. Body is in good shape with little to no rust. Top included. Clear title in hand. Asking $7,000 Open to offers and trades.”
Looks solid.

It’s a pretty clean jeep overall. Seller notes the paint isn’t all that great, but it doesn’t look all that bad in the pics either.
“56 CJ5 Originally from Arizona, very straight. Warn overdrive. Warn hubs. Ramsey winch. Dick Cepek jerry can and spare carrier. Roll bar. Tow bar.
New: complete engine overhaul. Starter, alternator, carburetor, fuel pump, gas tank, wheels, spare, wipers, turn signals, speedometer and more.
Almost New: brakes, wheel cylinders, hoses, front end, clutch, exhaust, tires and more,
Bought to fix up for daughter but things changed. Fresh paint over faded old but didn’t cover well do to my inability as a painter . I have more paint so could be fixed by someone else.”

Maury spotted this silver anniversary CJ-5.
“1979 Jeep CJ-5 SA: This extremely rare Jeep is an incredible investment opportunity. In the second half of 1979 Jeep built less than 1000 of the CJ 5 Silver Anniversary editions. There are an estimated 40 still in existence today with any chance of being restored. Less than 10 with the original motor and transmission and no rust! That makes this one of only 10 left in the world. I encourage you to do some research yourself into the collectibility of this rare vehicle. They will only go up in value!
It is “Car Show Clean” and ready to drive across country. Just add gas and enjoy. With 54,000 original miles this Jeep does well on the road, never sees mud and drives like a dream. It was garage kept for most of its life and only driven around town. The original front seats were replaced with aftermarket along with the steering wheel and shift knob. The original Silver Anniversary emblem is still on the glove compartment door and the VIN can be verified.”
Looks in stock, good shape, but will need some maintenance.
“1960 Willy’s CJ5. Will need brakes and carburetor work from sitting the past two years. Comes with second set of original wheels. No trades. As is, where is with no warranty implied. Willy’s was restored very nicely by the past owner some years back. Not perfect, however, looks excellent. Do not need help selling. Cash deal only.”

Maury spotted this clean looking CJ-5.
“1969 KAISER JEEP CJ-5 RARE 289V6 with ORIGINAL SPRING GREEN PAINT (TRUE SURVIVOR). Up for sale is our ’69 Kaiser Jeep with the RARE 289 V6 in original Spring Green paint. Mostly a garage queen its entire life, this Jeep has it’s original coat of paint, which shows extremely well. Has had all new gas shocks installed as well as new battery, rebuilt carb, (comes with a brand new carb as well), and many more maintenance items completed recently. Runs and drives great, does not leak oil and has little to no rust on the body. 4WD functions perfectly. Very well preserved example. Has original miles as well. Inspections welcome. All serious inquiries will be considered.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is an unusual build.
“Usually when we tell you about a mean Jeep it’s because someone has transformed it into the ultimate off-roader, but this complete custom built 1969 Jeep CJ5 is about teaching others a lesson on the streets. Beneath the wild green paint and lowered suspension lies some of the best Ford performance components you know. And once you look at the price, it’s not just a great Jeep or a great Cobra; it’s one amazing overall deal.
There is no pretending this is an off-road Jeep. The metallic green paint is out to intimidate the streets, not the trail. At has the kind of luster from the modern clearcoat that will act like a beacon attracting people from across the show field during the day, and at night, it catches the light and almost glows better than a neon sign. That’s why it has been applied over every inch of the exterior, including the bumpers, grille, and hood pins. The only thing to grab more attention than the green are those custom applies sliver ghost flames. But more than just paint, this one has some great custom street rod details, like the chopped windshield, lowered suspension, crystal clear headlights, and the Weld-style 15-inch alloys.

Nice looking jeep.
“This is the ultimate Jeep survivor!! It has everything you may want for an outstanding Jeep CJ for any collection. The Jeep was owned by a Willis Jeep Dealer in Indianapolis. It still has the statement of origin or manufactured. It still has the dealer cost sheet. It has 12623 original miles.
It still has the original tube tires. Original paint, top (in bad condition), seats, accessories, hoses, belts, floor mats. Tho only thing that has changed is the shocks, gas cap and clutch. I have owned the Jeep for 20 years. I was going to use it, but realized how special it was and didn’t touch it except for special occasions. I have only put 20 miles on it in the last 3 years. I got it out last night to take pictures and it started right up. I Also have the Willys parts pages for the model. There is a few surface rust spots, one on the tail (pictured) and driver/passenger floor pan. This jeep really deserves a museum or display collection. I have plenty of other photos if needed.”

UPDATE: **Status Unknown**
Chris is selling his CJ-5. Looks in good shape. It has the 0-8 speedometer, but the pointer is shaped like a wedge rather than thin and even.
“My 1956 Willys CJ5 has a great history. It was a one owner, garaged Jeep for 57 years; meticulously maintained by professionals, and was basically a “City Jeep”. The Jeep has 102k miles. It is an older restoration in time but not miles: including all running gear, body, paint, suspension, seats, and is in great condition. It runs, starts, drives, stops, looks and handles great. The Jeep has new tires and rims ($750) with only 100 miles on them .
I have receipts for the extensive work done, going back to 1963. It has the rare Kayline softtop with doors and frame, in good condition. The dash is also uncut. The miles will increase slightly, as I drive the Jeep. Records, paperwork and spare parts come with the Jeep.
“RARE, VERY NICE WILLYS, PTO WINCH, INTERIOR IS IN GREAT CONDITION. RUNS AND DRIVES VERY WELL. 4X4 LOCK OUT HUBS, BEEN IN TEXAS SINCE NEW. RECENT TOP.”
2. 1967 CJ-5 is $9000: http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/cto/5934971040.html
“BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL PAINT, NEW TIRES , JEEP RUNS AND DRIVES VERY WELL. LOW MILES AND WELL MAINTAINED.”
David Magana bought this CJ-5 out of Arnold, California. He was wondering if anyone recognized it or had any previous history about it?
“Though I am reluctant to sale it, I unfortunately have to get rid of my super clean 1966 Jeep CJ-5A Tuxedo Park model with only 49,000 original miles. This is a rare, classic, mostly stock jeep with the exceptions of a few practical add ons such as the winch, tow bar (comes with tow lights), newer BF Goodrich 31″x10.50×15 all terrain tires, full cage roll bar, and back spare tire carrier with 2 nice jerry cans. Even has the old vintage heater, Tuxedo Mark 4 chrome emblems, etc. This was the first year of the Buick v-6 dauntless 225 motor. The jeep also has a newly rebuilt 3-speed transmission and new clutch which cost me $2000 dollars (I have the receipt from the transmission shop with a 1 year warranty) and new exhaust system. The body and paint are very nice, with no dents and no rust. The interior floor has been rhino lined black, the black interior seats are perfect with no rips. I have a really nice black back seat for it, but it is not mounted in the rig. The soft top and doors are almost new. Runs great, shifts great, and brakes are good. This vehicle is a really affordable way to drive something which is very fun,(feels like you are driving and old tractor), cool and classic. Come check it out and you will love it. The jeep is ready for your next adventure, whether it be to the store, beach, or mountain pass. My loss your gain.—I will add more photos tomorrow.”
