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 .
Has some fender rust and needs a clutch, but may have some value.
“Runs great need a clutch but I have it just needs to be installed”

It’s rough and needs work, but does have a PTO and a bed extension.
“For sale is this great Jeep WILLYS, it’s a cj5 model willys 4×4. Wish we had the title but bought it off a good friend who had lost it many years ago. It was running and driving great just a couple months ago, now needs some minor repairs. The radiator is leaking and the starter needs to be replaced. Also needs a new battery and NO BRAKES. We’ve had this jeep for a good while but think it’s time to sell it and let someone else enjoy this fun toy. This model includes a pto that you can attach equipment to or a pump. Also you don’t see too many with the extended box in the back like this one. Does need work but overall an awesome ranch vehicle or great project.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
Glenn spotted this unusual CJ-5. He tried to contact the seller, but had no luck getting a response. On the back of this is a Marsmith Auguer. Glenn and I couldn’t find out much about it. It appears to have roots in Phoenix, where a company called Dirtrix/Marsmith was located. I’ve included a few extra photos of other CJ-5s that have mar smith augers.
“jeep cj5 with marsmith augor machine. rebuitl motor. amc 6cylinder. everything works. runs great. work horse. have 1 auger. 1000 or best offer”
Other photos of jeeps with Marsmith augers. I don’t know if these are exactly the same or slight variations of the auger that’s on the CJ-5 above.dipos
Might be a good for the price.

There could be value here, but the engine knocks.
“Bought this as a off-road project but out of time and money it’s all original, runs and drives. CJ5 w/ 258 and two barrel carb, 3 speed manual w reverse and 4 wheel drive. . CJ5’s are hard to find and easily retail for 5k-10k when fully finished and rebuilt. Would make great off-road vehicle or for a restore. Does drive but will probably need trailered home.
150k original box a miles
Will come with cloth side doors and upper halfs.
New battery
New oil filter and oil
New fuel filter
New distributor
Rebuilt Carb

(10/07/2016) I don’t recognize the half top model.
“I have a 1961 Willys Jeep CJ5 frame is in good condition great winter restoration project it has a motor and transmission and motor turns over but does not run I also have the title and owners manual original 1961 $600 or best offer”
This may have potential.

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.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000

Looks fairly unmolested.
“1964 Jeep Willy
Runs and comes with about $1000 worth of parts. Serious inquires only please.”
It’s a project that includes a Warn winch. If it has been parked before the “mountain blew”, it means it was parked prior to May of 1980 (36 years ago).
“1963 Willys CJ.
Parked since before the mountain blew.
283, warn winch, dual gas tanks.
Absolutely perfect windshield.
One NOS front fender.
Permanently registered on its original 63 plates.
Clean clear title in my name.

Jim spotted this ad. Seller also has a 1947 CJ-2A for sale, but no price listed and not pics of it shared.
“For sale a 1955 Willis jeep, first year of the CJ5, all original, this is the sought after civilian jeep, not running and has mostly surface rust. Two transfer cases. This is a great restore jeep or driver. Asking $1400. I also have original 1947 jeep that I would possibly sell. I have clear North Carolina titles for both.”

http://reno.craigslist.org/cto/5899452520.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
Needs a drive train. If Daryl says its solid, I’d take his word on it.
“Really nice start to a project.
Floors are very solid, just a little rust in the hat channels.
No motor, transmission or transfer case.
Has a dent in right rear corner.
Collector plate, Washington title.”
Blaine spotted this one. I wonder if it includes all the stuff in it? That poor front bumper has seen some action.
“1974 jeep cj5 runs great..have shell also 5000$”

(12/03/2015) Nice looking Tux.
“If you are looking at this ad you probably know more about this Model CJ5 than I do.
Original body and paint, rust free classic vintage Jeep !
This is a collector quality ride which will appreciate in value !
The Tuxedo Park Mark IV is a rare model with several unique upgrades such as a factory overdrive transmission. Research this model more information.
I put a deposit down on it and only took possession of it recently. During this time I also put an offer in on a house, bought a 1951 GMC, a 1997 GMC and now I have too many vehicles and am passing this unique rare Jeep on.
I have only driven it about a mile total.
It does need some tuning and tinkering like most vehicle of this vintage. The winch is dated 1965 as well but I have not tried it.
It starts right up and goes through all gears. Parking brake cable is stuck.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700
Craig spotted this one. It looks to have the hard-to-find-0-8 King Seeley speedometer. You can just see a hint of if in the last photo.
“I got a jeep it needs a little tlc,needs brakes,battery,and other things done,it will run and drive,its needs another gas tank which I got,fuel pump,which I got.good to fix or parts,if you call I can tell you more about it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.

Can use for parts or put a new body on it and it will be ready to go”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2400.
(07/29/2016) This has full floating rear hubs and a PTO. It runs, but clearly needs work. I’ve been reading through a bunch of late 1960s Four Wheeler magazines and I’ve been surprised to see how popular the rear truck-like bumpers were on southwest 1/4 jeeps.
“Ex military, 95% rust free, nevada title 1965 289 cid ford v8, original lock ohts and pto winch (no brakes) $2,400 will consider part trade have a wall phone and thats all call for details any time, leave a message”
