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 windshield alone (assuming no cracks) is worth at least $100.
“1954 Jeep Willy for Parts or Restore.”
https://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/6136852030.html
Listed as a 1952, this jeep has a fiberglass CJ-5 body and top. What it lacks in pedigree, it makes up for in new parts.
“Nice jeep for snow or keep at hunting land. Moving no longer needed. 1952 Willis. Great frame fiberglass body awesome runner lots of new parts.”
https://lacrosse.craigslist.org/snw/6125479611.html
Runs, but needs work. Might be worth a look.
“Up for sale is, what I believe is a 1956, Willys Jeep CJ5. The serial number under the hood reads 57548-14914. I am selling this for my uncle so please excuse my lack of knowledge on the vehicle. I do know you will not be able to drive it home, however it does run and you can test drive it before buying it. It has a Buick V8 with a Turbo 350 automatic transmission with a B&M ratchet shifter. Has 36″ super swamper tires which are pretty dry rotted but all hold air. It has Warn manual locking front hubs with a Dana 30 front end and Dana 44 rear end. It has a homemade canopy top which can be easily removed. frame is in good shape and body is in decent shape with a few dings and dents and some surface rust. This jeep needs a restoration, but it is a running and, we’ll say moving, project.”

Looks like there is potential here. Has a Meyer hardtop.
“1957 Jeep Willys CJ5, ALL ORIGINAL. This beauty is a BARN FIND! Title clean. Ran when parked in 1981. Very little rust. Complete original condition. Serious inquires only please – contact me for more information. Best offer considered (please don’t low ball this beauty).”
https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/6124674316.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Has PTO and rear gearbox in back and a plow up front.
“For sale is a fully operational early CJ5. It runs, drives, and stops well. You can drive this right down the road, even at night as the lights also work. This vehicle was used for plowing churches, and was last registered on the road last fall.
Jeep has a nice, modern title.
Tub is rough – but the front half of the body, and the half top seem to be in good shape. The dash gauge is in great condition. There’s a heater near the passenger side.
Plow goes up/down and tilts. Rear PTO unit spins. You may power agricultural attachments with this system. Plow quick disconnects, and you’re off bashing the trails.”
Craig found this CJ-5 with a newly rebuilt engine and a fiberglass body that’s been cracked. Looks like there’s value here.
“CJ5 jeep. Engine was completely rebuilt by previous owner (huricane 4 cylinder) hardly has any miles on it since being rebuilt but hasent run in a couple years due to the carburetor needs to be cleaned. It has a fiberglass tub but is cracked from a tree falling on it. The tires are 33″ and are like brand new. We do not have a registration or title for it. The previous owner did not have one eitherl”

(03/22/2017) Seems there’s some value here.
“Selling my Willys project. Bought it from a friend a couple years ago and it’s been sitting with not enough time to work on. I bought a new wire harness new alt, and distributor,12v. Needs work to get going. Ran great before wire harness was cut out. Complete wire harness and book to go with it. Has a PTO transfer case to go along with it as well as 2 other hoods and another set of tires. Frame is in great shape, body is not bad.”
Could be a good price. Seth spotted this one on Facebook. Has “plow brand new only used once”.

Craig shared this running/driving CJ-5.
“Jeep runs, and drives. 4cyl “f head” engine. 3 speed manual trans. Twin stick transfer case. 4×4 works great. NO TITLE. Would make someone a fun toy, or farm jeep. Brakes do not work, but who needs em with this low gearing. Needs a front leaf spring, ($60) online. Would be interested in trades of same or more value aswell.”
https://boone.craigslist.org/cto/6121625572.html
Has an extra chassis and parts. Not sure how much value is here.
“This is a 1959 Willys Jeep. I bought it as a project and as some things go just never got around to it. I had it running when I first bought it. Has been sitting about 3-4 years since then. I have boxes full of parts to go with it. A nice soft top and all rails. Also have an additional chassis with differentials and running gear. Title says 1959 Willys. I have a Willys and Jeep tailgate both of which are included. Too many odds and ends to list.”

“1966 jeep willy —-225 v6 engine that runs,,,, the transmission is good….. the frame is good…. needs a new body…. clean title—- 3 speed”

David is selling this one. He says he’ll consider taking projects as partial payment.
“1957 cj5 $4900 located in NE Vermont.

https://vermont.craigslist.org/cto/6115061123.html

Craig spotted this one. It is mostly a CJ-5.The body is civilian also (side of the body is stamped “Jeep”), but it has an M-38A1 dash.
“Posting up my 1957 Jeep CJ. It’s a CJ-5 made by willys overland and is dressed up to look like an M38-A1 Which is the military version on this jeep model. I’ve owned it for a little over 2 years, the previous owner started a frame off restoration and was working toward the military theme but lost interest. I decided to source the rest of the parts and finish it off. It’s completely rust free and everything works. The 4cylinder motor runs great and the 3-speed manual transmission shifts well. The 4wheel drive works as well and has a high and low range with front manual locking hubs.
It has 5 good BFG AT/KOs and runs about 55mph down the road with no issues. Has brand new paint and decals and working lights and gauges. The only issues are the rear pinion seal leaks and the generator needs to be rebuilt. It runs fine without it I just keep a tender on the battery and never have a probkem. Comes with a dummy 50 Cal mounted in the back. I’m sure there’s a lot I’m missing but if you’re interested feel free to call or text and I can give you further details. This has been a great jeep and lots of fun just time to move on to something else. Looking to Get $9000 but will entertain reasonable offers if you’re a serious buyer”

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $2500.
Craig shared this one. There might be value here. The seller is away and his parents are selling it. It’s not clear if they can sign off on the title or not (Based on PA law, it may depend on when the title was issued).
“3 speed manual, four cylinder. New Mickey Thompson Baja claw tires. 8000lb Ramsey winch. Brakes and clutch are brand new. Rear differential may need some attention as well as fuel pump (…or fuel filter). It ran in the fall, but now it only runs if fuel is added manually into carb. Some simple TLC will have this up and running in no time. Body is really in decent shape and was being prepped for paint. I am in the military and I don’t have time to work on it. My parents are my contacts for I am unfortunately not available at this time”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Runs and drives and has a PTO winch.
