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 $2500.
Maybe some value here?

http://cosprings.craigslist.org/cto/5755117929.html
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $2200.
Bill spotted this one. It’s listed as an M-38A1, but has a CJ-5 body. Still might be a good price given it runs/drives/has PTO.
“1964 M38A1 Willys Jeep with smooth 4 cylinder Hurricane engine. 3-speed tranny with hi-lo range, locking hubs and PTO winch. Frame for soft top, 2 sets of cloth doors, extra roll bar, 31 x 10.5 x 15 tires (70%), and fender flares. Front seats only (torn), mild rust on right rear fender.”
Has a fiberglass tub. Price looks good. Includes a winch.
“CJ5 Jeep, heads just redone, new steering gear, good mechanical condition, fiberglass tub, no rust, has a top and back seat.”
http://www.ksl.com/auto/listing/3111112?ad_cid=2
Could be a good price on both. Nice vintage Shakey’s Pizza sticker on the back of the 2A’s driver’s seat.
“Ok, so these things are beat up and rough and DON’T CURRENTLY RUN ! they were both “running when parked” but I don’t know much about them besides that, and I bought them out of a barn in this condition. Might have bad engines? might have good engines? I really have no clue !
Blue one: 1947? CJ2A , no windshield or passenger seat, rolls, steers and stops. Has a newer F head 4 cylinder engine (hence the box on the hood) NO TITLE $450
White one: 1965 CJ5 , no windshield or passenger seat, rolls, steers and stops. Has a F head 4 cylinder engine, comes with DMV paperwork signed by last registered owner to obtain title. $450
Or buy both for $800 !
I am NOT into the typical craigslist B.S. games like “send me 20 more pictures” or “will you hold it for a week until I get my welfare check” or “want to trade for a crappy dirt bike” or ” take two-hunnerd?” or “still got them?” or “what’s the lowest you’ll go?” etc.etc.etc. Don’t expect much! they are not $5000 Jeeps for $450, they are $450 Jeeps !!!!!!!!”

Has an overdrive.
“I have a 1964 Willys CJ-5 with a good runing F134 Hurricane 4 cylinder engine. It has a 3 speed manual with a separate stick for overdrive. It does need a clutch but I have a new clutch kit and clutch fork to go with it. The tub is rusty and needs work. 4wd works good. I have the title to it. I am asking $3000obo the best way to contact me is through text at ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3495.
Looks like a good price. No description provided.
UPDATE: The seller thought this was a LOVE 3Point hitch (forerunner of the Newgren), but Bob Christy and I can’t identify it. Can anyone else?
Lots of stuff here. The 3point Hitch and mower are the most interesting items to me. Anyone recognize the mower? None of my brochures match it.
“2 CJ5 Willys jeeps for sale. NO. 1 Yellow jeep is ser. no.143416 Not running, stuck engine. Comes with what I believe is a LOVE 3pt hitch and PTO. Looks to be complete with hydraulic unit in engine compartment. Comes with a 3pt mower, scoop and front mount snow blade. Body is rough, frame is good, 4wheel drive components look good. Has a hard top with fiberglass top. No title, farm jeep. Some glass is broken. NO 2 Green jeep is Ser. no. 103879 Stuck, has head off soaking in Diesel fuel. Has a burnt valve, all parts to put back together are there. Has Koenig hard top in good condition. Body is very solid and has had extensive body work done to it several years ago, would not take much to be decent driver. All 4 wheel drive components look good. Frame is good. Gas tank is good. Has bucket seats. Some extra parts included. This one may have a title. Good glass.”
This looks good.

http://harrisburg.craigslist.org/cto/5725529778.html
Bill spotted this one. There’s $500 of value in the plow alone.
“F head 4cylinder jeep . It ran last i used it so unless I get some time I might have to drop the price. This is not road worthy it is just a plow rig. and the plow rigging needs … help. But it worked this way for me. Latest update: No spark , no power to fuel pump. this jeep needs time that I dont have so start the bidding. the hydrolick ram should be worth something.”
http://anchorage.craigslist.org/cto/5717155967.html
This may be worth a look. Appears to have a little rust on the passenger side front fender (front lip).
“Have you ever wanted dad or grandfathers old Jeep. Well folks here is one great example of one.
The jeep has less than 55,000 lightly used miles. The body is in near perfect shape, floor pans, body support brackets and the rest is rust free. The engine is a 225 Buick V6, 3 speed transmission and has the Warn overdrive. There also is a PTO winch that works nice. Paint is not to bad, a little dulled by the sun. Jeep runs and drives, every thing functions as it should less the horn. The jeep did not come with a full top. We only have a bikini top. I have several options of full tops and soft top if you wish to has one on it. I love the openness of no top. Look at the pictures close, only call if your a buyer. Tire kicker and scammer need not waist our time. Post will be deleted when jeep has sold.”

Thanks to Maury for doing the leg work on this one. The box behind the rear seat was used for gas, but we don’t know if it was to power the jeep or to carry aviation fuel for some unknown reason. It’s not a typical gas cap.
The seller provided some additional information:
The “box” behind the passenger seat is the fuel cell (gas tank). This jeep was equipped by LAX’s TWA. I bought the jeep through ebay some 5 years ago from the 3 owner who was a young plastic surgeon for the army he painted it green (I was glad he did a bad job, I brought back the red with on can of Goooff and found the red to be in very nice shape) and he added the passenger seat. However he never got it running and let it sit out resulting in the trans to fill with water due to the boot around the stick shift. I had to disconnect the drive shaft to be able to move it. I picked up the jeep in Southern Ca. Another Item not working is the speedometer, When rebuilding the trans, the speedo gear came out brittle and broke, Having not able to find one at the time of the rebuild, we left it out.
From the ad:
“1969 Jeep CJ5, Original California jeep, used by TWA at LAX (one of 3 they used that year). Jeep was to be used by the “Fire Inspector” (you can barely read it on the dash) Has original fuel cell put in for the airport. Original 4 cyl motor. 3 speed trans, 2 wheel drive, (NOT 4X4) Great on fuel.
I have had the trans rebuilt completely $2500. Unknown to me at time of purchase here on ebay, but the trans boot was gone and the trans filled up with rain water and locked up with rust. Had to find and buy, then rebuild a starter (450). Rear end rebuilt with new seals and bearings (500). New tires and new battery. Minimal rust not bad for a 47 year old jeep (see photo) Now the bad news, due to injury at work, and health reasons, I am unable to finish my goal to restore to original TWA days. All that is left is the body. I have over $5000 invested. My loss can be your gain. Jeep is located in Goleta, California. Clean and clear CA title.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Looks like there’s value here.
“For sale is my ’55 Willy’s Jeep. It’s a straight, clean, completely rust-free original from southern CA. I bought it about 15 years ago with the intention of restoring it to like new condition – however the the project was started and never finished. As a result, the CJ is not currently running – the primary reason of which is that it has no wiring (I pulled out to replace). The Hurricane F-134 engine turns over, and everything else was in working order before disassembly. It has a the original T-90 transmission case mated to a T-18 transfer case.
I decided I didn’t have the time/dedication to commit to restoring this truck, however this remains an excellent project for someone who does. You won’t find a better base truck to work on, and this is the first year CJ5 ever produced (which are both the reasons why I originally bought it). Tough to find a truck that isn’t all modified and jacked-up – and I believe the red paint is the original believe it or not.”
What kind of winch is that? Has a Meyer hardtop.
“Has an extra gas tank and wench.$6K OBO”
http://boise.craigslist.org/cto/5724770282.html

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Seller also has a “Willys”, but doesn’t include a pic of it.
“I have two jeeps for sale I have one that is a 1974 CJ and the other I believe is a 75 CJ the 74 is the white one that I have a title for.The orange one you will have to put in for lost title or use it for a Parts vehicle ..

There is also a Willys that I have to anybody’s interested”
