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 .
This might have some character.
“1963 Jeep Willy CJ5 runs but needs rings. In rough shape but has original plow package with plow. Good project for the right enthusiast! Asking $1000”
http://maine.craigslist.org/cto/5691683036.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300.
There’s easily $300 in parts here.
“2 Jeep/ Willys 1950’s for parts. Drive trains complete.
Rusty bodies, bad frame on Willys.
Garage kept for last 20 years.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1100.
Probably more value in parts than in the project.
“I have bitten off more than I can chew. I picked this CJ up last fall with the full intention of fixing and restoring it. Times have changed and now that I have a newborn at home the Jeep isn’t high on my priorities anymore.
The guy I bought it from said that the Jeep was running when it was parked approx 15 years ago. I was told that the body was removed and the frame was fixed and coated to prevent deterioration. The original body (’69) is the red one. The body that is currently sitting on the frame is a ’70 or a ’71. I had the option of taking the original body or leaving it, I took it so that I would have the original VIN plate. I have the original doors, hood and grill.
Any questions, please ask. I MAY be willing to part it out for the right price.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(05/27/2016) The red one appears to be an MB/GPW.
“Four jeeps to choose from, two have titles and two don’t. All are at least 95% complete and have been running recently. Will sell or trade, $2500 OBO each or will make a deal on multiple jeeps.”
http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/cto/5649862057.html
Appears to be some parts value at the very least.

This jeep has an unusual shovel holder on the cowl.
“1958 Jeep CJ-5, Hurricane 4 cylinder engine on it runs great! Comes with removable tow bar, roll bar, is a real classic and turns heads. Also great for hunting and fishing! Tow it to your favorite spot and go into all the places your truck won’t be able to go. Everything is original. I will also include an extra over size rim.
I’ve seen what’s out there and on eBay for similar vehicles so price is firm. Let me know if you have any questions or are interests in taking it out for a test drive.”
http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/cto/5679990915.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700.
Maybe a good parts jeep at the very least.

Not Street Legal, but perfect for Ranch.
Serial # Plate Id still on Firewall.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7500 on eBay
“1957 Willys Jeep A Trench. I am the owner and have the title. This is one of the rarest things I have ever seen. It has an Auburn trencher attachment which later became Ditch Witch. This Jeep has been sitting in a pole barn for at least 10 years! I pulled and flushed the gas tank , blew out the fuel lines and cleaned the carb. It fires up and runs good! It will need some brake work! It was originally a baby blue color. It was repainted nearly 15 years ago. There was some patching done on the floor boards at that time. I’m sure they also patched it elsewhere. The paint job is fair for its age. It has some paint bubbles on the right rear quarter The interior is pretty nice and it shows 7770 original miles. Tires have excellent tread but are weather cracked. If you have an interest I urge you to come and look at it !! I have a lot of pictures. More than I can show here. I will gladly send you more. What a unique piece of equipment to own.. It is a 1957 and is not perfect. But would make a awesome restoration project. Sold as is needing TLC! Engine runs great!”
Bidding starts at $3000. The jeeps needs some work, but it includes a Warn winch and an overdrive. Lots to like here.

The MB’s data tags are dated 12/18/1941. Now, whether they are original to the flattie or not is another matter.

“Selling this for someone else. This is the information I have in the ad below. If there is some other piece of information that is needed I can try to find out. Thanks!
1960 Willys Jeep CJ5
Original flathead 4cyl engine
3 speed T90 transmission
2 speed transfer case with front PTO takeoff for original PTO winch, winch not included.
12 volt electrical system
Body rough, numerous dents and some spots of penetrating rust
Will not start right now but it was running when parked (3 years ago) so it shouldn’t take too much work to run again. It probably has bad gas or spark plugs causing current starting issues. Engine always ran well once warmed up. Lights work, but electrical system is bad and will not charge battery. Windshield is broken but it is flat glass so it shouldn’t be too expensive or complicated to replace. No soft top included. Tires show some cracking but continue to hold air even after being parked for several years.
Additional items included:
Extra windshield frame, no glass
Original oil bath air filter, engine currently has aftermarket paper air filter
Replacement metal pan for the rear floorboard/small bed area in the rear of the jeep”
http://portland.craigslist.org/grg/cto/5670541810.html
This is CJ-5 #128 based on the serial number (10128). Even better, it runs.

http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/5670214040.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
The hardtop might be the most valuable part. The jeep looks like it went through a fire.
“1955 jeep willy project non running lots of parts, overland full metal cab, roof, metal doors good glass, extra hood, ford 289 engine.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/11/2015) It’s a project, but there looks to be some value here.
“1961 CJ5 Willys Jeep. This jeep is a project that is almost done. It has been sitting for a few years and I need to get rid of it. It has a number of modifications. It has a rebuilt Chevy 4.3L with no miles on it. Used turbo 350 transmission. 205 transfer case. International front and rear end with 370 gears. Almost new 33×12.50 tires with aluminum wheels. Replaced the leaf springs and has a lift. Custom bumpers and a luggage rack on the back. Needs: wiring harness, radiator, alternator, steering box, seats, soft top. It’s a project so you can take it as far as you want. I have a hard top that I got off a mail jeep but needs some modifications to make it work. Must be hauled away. Please don’t call if you just want to talk about jeeps. ”

(06/03/2016) “JeepWillys frame Stainless steel body V6 Buick motor auto transmission 4×4”
http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/cto/5668370603.html
Given the half cab, there could be value here.
“selling body only (frame is NOT for sale). it has the hanging pedal upgrade with hydrolic clutch and vaccume booster brakes, extra fuel tank also has very well built rear swinging tire and jerrycan holder. downside is the floorboard/firewall was butchered for a V8, but it comes with a wheelbarrow to fix it. these half cabs are hard to find this far south, i have almost all of it, things missing is one door glass is broke (it’s flat glass, easy fix) and i am missing the body side hinges (not hard to duplicate, pipe and pin deal). email your number and I’ll call you back.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5750.
“One owner vehicle purchased new in 1959. Only 20,133 miles. Received as part of estate when owner passed. Comes equipped with snowplow and Power Takeoff for implements. Many records included.”
Seller must sell quick. It appears to have an overdrive (not sure about the claimed PTO). It has a funky rear end carrier, too.
“I have a 1955 vintage willys cj5 for sale it has its original 4 cylinder engine with a 6 volt system with a PTO transmission. Also has low miles under 40,000 just need a nipple valve for the fuel pump then she will run perfectly. I’m moving must sell quick”
