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 .
Listed as a 1958, the VIN indicates it is a late 1960 stock CJ-5 that includes 2/3 1/3 front seats and a ventilating windshield. Look slick it would be a great restoration project.
“Fun old jeep, ran when parked approx 3 yrs ago. Not 100% sure about the year. Needs plugs, wires and battery at a minimum. Motor turns freely by hand. Gorgeous patina on this unique slice of jeep history. $1500 OBO. No papers. Come and get her!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
May be worth a look. Has a Sears / Mongomery Ward hardtop.
“1959 willys jeep. Nice color blue, and has an aftermarket Montgomery ward topper. Has upgraded battery system from 6 to 12 volt battery. Runs good,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
Here’s a light mileage CJ-5.
“This is a super nice 1959 Willys Jeep CJ5. It’s been sitting in a garage for 20 years. It’s had the same owner since 1960. It’s all original with original motor and 2 sets of wheels. Very rare in this un molested condition. Has original black plates.”
Runs, but may need some engine work.
“$1,500 FIRM –
It runs, but motor needs rebuilt – ”

UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/15/2016) “I’ve never seen a Warn mounted laying down like that. Are there any lubrication or other issues doing it that way?
“Collector’s 1955 Willys $2800.00 or obo
Does not run. A great restoration project.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3125.
Nick’ selling this CJ-5 with a 3 point hitch. It’s got some early CJ-5 items including that hard-to-find-speedometer. It looks like the pointer broke in the same space mine did.
“This is a 1955 Willys CJ5 farm Jeep. It is complete with an all original drivetrain, and a rear PTO along with a 3-point hitch. I have a title. I found this on a farm just an hour away from Toledo, Ohio.
Engine is an original F-head, it is free and has spark. I rewired the ignition system. The exhaust valves are stuck open and will need to addressed before it can run. The starter works and with a couple plugs off, it did fire.
Gas tank holds fuel and the fuel lines have been cleaned. Tires have dryrot but hold air. Carb is clean on the inside. Frame is good and solid. Body has front floor patches but is overall good shape.
Transmission and tcase shift very smooth. The PTO shifter is stuck. All the 3-point system is free and moves well. The hydraulic pump is disconnected from the engine as I didn’t know if there was fluid in it. I also have soft top bows and door frames. Overall this is a great Jeep with period correct agricultural attachments.
Feel free to call/text me anytime.”
To make the body work on that frame the fenders and hood need to be extended.
“Your looking at a jeep willys cj2 fiberglass tub made by 4 wheel drive. Frame is a 1976 cj5 that has been painted, breaks rebuilt, new brake lines, new leg bushings, bolts, and shackles. Has straight six engine mounted to 3 speed transmission. Frame has been gone through and ready to build. Comes with wiring harness, steering column, pedal assembly, and more. Much more invested than I’m asking. If you want that cool looking flat fender keep on a newer frame this is it. I will also throw in a 1955 willys cj5 frame with extras.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2600.
May have a Kelly Top. Runs.
“4WD , 3 door cab, Jeep with snow plow, newly rebuilt engine, great running condition, Solid frame body needs some work, all snow tires, front chains, 45K miles”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $6000.
Sure looks like it might be a good deal.
“I have three Jeeps to sell as a package deal for $6,000. The first is a mostly original 1954 CJ3B with perfect body/paint, zero rust, and running (power steering was added & leaks). Second, 1984 CJ7 w/ 258 that runs & has some rust. Last is 1967 CJ5 w/ 225 that does not start and needs work. If interested, you’ll need a trailer and cash. Price is extremely reasonable so I’m not interested in negotiating. May also be interested in trade for a nice all wheel drive car.”
Has a ventilating windshield and a really early speedo cluster.
“A true classic ready for restoration. Original Owner. Used primarily for hunting in Eastern OR. and running around the farm in the valley. Mileage is correct. Motor Starts and runs. This was one of the first CJ5s built and has several military parts, including the split windshield and side mirror mount. Very unusual. Vehicle was stored in a barn and recently brought to Gibson Auto in Portland for full evaluation. Full documentation available. Over $700.00 spent. New Battery, points, condenser, fluids, etc. Installed alternative fuel source line to test engine. A great restoration project for the right person. Body needs repair, but overall most rust is mostly surface, except for two small spots below the door openings. I would probably replace the floor boards, Seats have been recovered. Needs new front right spring (I would replace all, but that one is broken) and a new gas tank and fuel lines. Gauges appear to work. Old convertible top needs to be replaced. Wiring works, but needs to be upgraded or replaced. Tires have good tread, but are old and should be replaced. Unique opportunity to own a true original vehicle and have some fun fixing it up! The vehicle has a tow bar, so getting it to its new home will not be too hard. Call for more information. I have a lot!”

Jim spotted this one.
“I am selling my Jeep cj-5 It has been a project for about half a year now. When I bought it didn’t run most of the parts were in a box, I replaced quite a few parts on it and got it running, then the rear main oil seal started to leak. I thought this was the end of the jeep but , as it turns out its a simple fix. the new seal is about $20 and takes 30 min to an hour to install. YES you will need to tow it home! if you try to drive it you WILL lock up the engine.

“PRICE DROP (again) Ive dropped the price dramatically from my original asking amount at $4500. I am moving and I need this gone by the end of the month! 1964 Jeep CJ5 with 27,000 miles on the odometer. I’m not sure if it has rolled over or not. There is absolutely no cancer rust on this beast. There are just a few small spots of surface rust. But it is mostly in near excellent condition. It has aftermarket seats and seat belts. It has a really cool removable hard top. It’s a manual 3 speed. And it has locking front hubs for 4 wheel drive, which works perfect. I just put brand new tires in like a week ago. It has 31’s on. It is completely stock, no lift and no modifications to the engine. It has the original 2.2 liter 4 cylinder Hurricane engine. It runs and drives excellent! It is insanely fun to drive around town.

It could be a good price.

“1948 CJ 2 A – this Willy’s Jeep, has been in the family over 45 years. No rust to be seen under passage seat compartment, little paint boil but solid body. Everything is original. Jeeps this age will make you money, don’t dump money into a newer jeep that loses value. Selling for low blue book value, but better shape than most good book value jeeps.
I grew up around this Jeep (I’m 56 now) it runs and drive good, been parked for most of 20 years. Engine turns over, needs carburetor rebuilt gas runs through it. I don’t have the time or interest in getting it running, thus the low book price.
buy now, rebuild carburetor, change oils, repair seats, tires and its ready to roll for next hunting season CJ 2 – 1948 is $4,500 “
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”
http://valdosta.craigslist.org/cto/5899059384.html
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.
“1981 Jeep cj5
It has a 1996 fuel injected 4.0L, with an AX-15, 5 speed manual transmission. Soft top and full soft doors, with extra half doors. Runs good.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1750.
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
New Spark Plugs
New Air Filter
