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 .
If the body is solid, there’s value here.

“1957 Willy’s Jeep
*No title because of age*
Manual – 3 on the tree
Engine – AMC V8, most likely 327ci
Bought this Jeep with the intent of working on it and restoring it. I’ve had it almost a year and haven’t touched it and it’s taking up space. The transmission makes some noise in first, but reverse, second, and third are all good. The V8 under the hood runs strong and has a lot of pick up to it. Headlights and taillights work. I also have the complete hard top for it along with doors. Hardtop and doors are in great condition with only a little surface rust. As for the tub, it has some holes in the floors and could use some work. Tires and rims are in good condition. Front bumper is beefed up and could easily hold a plow. Seats have minor tears in them, nothing major. Windshield would need to be replaced if the goal is to drive this on the street, has some pretty big cracks on the passenger side.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This may be more solid than it first appears.
1963 Willy’s Jeep

no rust.
every part this jeep will ever need can be ordered from JC Whitney. http://www.jcwhitney.com/
1500 firm cash deal. no trades. will have to be towed. needs tires. motor runs well. I will not take 1499 or less, the drive axle alone is worth 1000.00″
Runs and drives. Looks solid, too.
Here is a pretty good shape, straight body jeep. It has a 4 cylinder engine that runs, 3 speed transmission and model 18 transfer case. the huge winch on the front is a PTO style. It has a back seat, nice tail gate, roll bar, and a very rare dual fuel tank set up under the front seats. How many of those have you seen? This has clean title and is registered until January of 2017.”

Maury ran across this rare CJ-5 and figured few people knew about it (I’ve never written anything about it). Kaiser Jeep of Australia built what they called Jeep Combat 6, a CJ-5 derivative. They had Ford 170ci straight 6 motors, the same engine used in the early Mustangs. It was the Australian answer to the Dauntless V6 being installed Stateside.
About 460 Jeep Combat 6 vehicles were made. Of the 460, it is unknown how many were CJ5’s or CJ6’s, as all documented records were either lost or destroyed. The chassis and the tubs were imported from Kaiser’s US plant and assembled with the Ford engines in Brisbane. Here’s photos of 1968 Combat 6 that was for sale about a year ago in Australia:
You can learn more about them at the CJ-3B page (scroll down to the page’s bottom). Here’s an example of a Combat 6 brochure.
According to the 3B page, the Combat 6 marketing didn’t last for long. The Australian arm of Kaiser Jeep dropped the Combat 6 brand, possibly replacing it with the Sportster. As you can see in this ad that was for sale on Australia’s eBay, the Sportster CJ-5 had the inline 6. If anyone has more info, please let me know. I couldn’t find much on these.
Given the winch, this is a good price.
“I’m selling my 1955 Willys. I am the third owner, I bought the Jeep from a relative of the original owner. It runs and drives well, although it is made for the trail, not the highway. Car is in good condition except for a few spots of minor rust and some dings and dents, which are expected for a 60 year old car. Car is a 3-speed manual with a modest 4cyl motor. Car has a soft top with doors and also a roll bar. Only reason I’m selling it is because I have too many cars now and I’ve ran out of space on my driveway.”

Dan spotted this early CJ-5.
“1955 CJ5 Willys Jeep. 4 cylinder F head engine. Added the seats, roll bar, tow bar and tires. Strong original engine so it won’t go over 55 MPH. Good title. New starter.”

“Looking to sell my project jeep. Was rescued from abandonment and have been going thru the process of titling it. I haven’t run into any troubles.
I need to pay bills and not build projects right now.
Has running dauntless engine v6 . Possible negotiable price if I keep the motor. The wife will kill me but gas golf cart and on road motorcycle trades possible ☺
It rolls and when the gas tank is bypassed it starts right up (does not include battery) but it is a project and I want everyone to realize I understand it is not a show car. It’s a thousand dollars and would make a great toy for someone. I have no patience for a lot of haggling bs. So please leave it at home. Cash talks better.

It’s stretched CJ-5 w/ a CJ-6 body.
“It has the strait six 258 motor
4 speed tranny T-18. Most CJs had a 3 speed in them.
It’s a cj5 extended to a six frame with a cj6 fiberglass body.
Runs, drives, all drive train works fine. However it is not ready for the highway yet if that’s you’re intent. It needs a couple minor things addressed for complete safety on the highway. Would be fine on a trail right now.
It’s in solid shape for the right person to turn a few things around to make it a daily runner.
I have a lot of nice extra parts.
Axles (scout front and ford 8.8 rea), nice set of seats, and some other stuff.”

Ron’s got this jeep for sale. It is dissembled.
“Used 1966 Jeep cj-5 Tuxedo Park edition. Bought as a daily driver project, turned out to be unsafe and larger project (frame unsafe) than I wanted. Have original frame (goes with it) which I repaired, but secured a solid M38A1 frame and mounted engine/trans/transfer in it. As far as I want to go. Will be safe anyway. Have Dana 25 and 44 from M38A1 with 9″ drums and Dana 27 and 44 from original with 10″ drums. Engine, 231 Buick, ran good with good compression, Th400 Automatic also worked fine. Never tried 4wd (Dana 18 with warn overdrive) only drove once. New parts purchased before aware of condition: Headers, complete floor pan, Rancho shocks, Plastic gas tank, fuel sending unit, valve covers, Rochester carb, extra (not on), Ford reverse manual steering box, Heavy duty tie rods and ball joints, Borgenson steering conversion, new seats (have originals also), new bushings for springs for cj-5 frame. Rust on tub has been stopped, there are holes in wheel wells, with plate steel over these see pictures. Floor pan is for poorly fixed rust on tub floor. Everything else solid. Parts needed to complete, wiring harness, couple of brake lines, and body bushings. I will consider reasonable offers, but as with all these jeeps have a lot invested. Am trying to sell all together, but may consider parting at a future date. Can provide many more pictures if needed. Mileage listed may not be accurate. Thanks for looking.”

UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/10/2016) The gap between the front end of the fenders and grille suggests this is a post 1972 CJ-5 frame.
“I am selling a 1949 Willys that has a Chevy 350 with RV cam with under 2000 miles on it. It has a large 4 row aluminum radiator, Jacobs ignition, It has ARB lockers front & rear.

“Runs, just needs body work and brake lines. Bought it recently for my wife but found out she was too tall. Cash only. You haul as well. Clean title”
http://westmd.craigslist.org/cto/5497519625.html
Might be a Tux Park III? Tim spotted this ad.
“Hi, thanks for looking. This is a pretty unique little Jeep. Known history from new. I bought it from the original owner 17 years ago. It is the Tuxedo Park Model which was an early attempt at making an upscale Jeep. It has chrome grab bar, windshield hinges, bumpers, windshield hardware etc. Shabby original convertible top is included for patterns if you’d like. Also I have the original Fisher plow installed when new in 1963 which you can also have if you’d like. I took the plow off when I started to restore the Jeep. The Jeep runs excellent. Brakes are down but I had put new wheel cylinders in so just need bleeding. Reupholstered as original. Repainted as original. I left the dash alone to show the original color. The tub has floor rust underneath. Frame is fine. Sheet metal is needy. Nice whitewall radials. PTO- power take off winch, Tow Bar and Roll Bar also included. 76000 original miles. Easy project to finish. It is at the point where a little brake work and wiring the tail lights and you can use it all Summer and no one else will have one like it. How many original pink Jeeps do you think there are within a 1000 miles? Jeep. CJ5. Scrambler. 4X4. Tuxedo Park.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
(03/23/2016) Nice vintage CJ-5, though the tails lights don’t look stock. But, that’s trivial.
“1961 CJ-5 Bone Stock / Totally un-molested. F-Head 134 Hurricane 4 Cylinder / 3 Speed Transmission T 18 twin shift transfer case. Everything on the jeep works. Jeep has new springs and shocks, shackle nuts and bolts and Fresh a oil change.The heater even works, but will need the heater core replaced. It has a small drip. Hard top is in great condition, one of the best hard tops I have ever seen. As you can see from the pictures there is slight surface rust on the hard top, just scratches. The body is very straight. The jeep has always been kept in garage. The body has minor rust as you can see from the picture. At some point in its life the jeep received a matching sky blue second paint job. The passenger side floor board is the worst and will need to be fixed, but this a pretty simple job. Tires have good tread and I have a spare pair of studs.
I was thinking modifying this jeep, but I can’t bring myself to molest a Jeep this nice. It’s a true survivor It’s almost impossible to find a 55 year old CJ-5 in this condition. I’m looking for a Tuxedo Park Mark IV. Drive it home tomorrow or tow it with the tow bar. Bring a 2″ Ball. I drive this Jeep every weekend to Garage Sales. I bought it from the original owner with 34,000 miles. They put $2,000 worth of work into it in 2014. Water Pump, Battery, Radiator, Fuel Tank, New Carb, Fuel Line, New Fan Belt, Ignition, Starter, Etc. Etc. Etc. I also have pristine period correct collectors license plates I might throw in for the right price. I also have a Dana 30 front axle with discs and completely rebuilt and restored Ramsey PTO winch. I would have to adjust the price if you wanted me to include these too.
$6,000 OBO or trade for a Tuxedo Park Mark IV CJ5 or CJ6 I will give you cash to make up the balance if the Tuxedo Park if it’s really nice.”
Can’t beat the price.
“I promised and wagered Wifey,
My future project would be gone in the next few days.
Free in the next few days of this posting only; 1961 (?) Willys Jeep, no engine, trans, interior, pretty much a rolling chassis. The front clip is a fiberglass module.
No papers ! I checked with DMV before I purchased a few years ago, this vehicle is not in the system, so no problem registering. I internet searched vine #, best I could come up with is 1960-61 year model.
It’s simple, the first person to show up with a trailer, or way of getting it off of my property as is, with prior arrangements, takes it. After Wednesday, it’s gone.’

Craig shared this one. It includes a rear PTO and three-point lift. The jeep’s been refurbed, but not restored.
