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: Was $800. **SOLD**
This was a great price. The winch alone is worth $500.

Looks trail ready. I wonder if they stretched the frame also, or just used a CJ-6.
“Up for sale is my fully restored Jeep CJ. It started life as a CJ5 but has been stretched 20 inches to a CJ6 (101 inch wheel base). Jeep has 5k miles on it since frame off restoration. Over $20k invested in upgrades. Some upgrades include; custom dash with Autometer gauges, Suspension Seats, tilt steering, power steering with AGR super pump and box, Dana 30 front end, 4 inch lift, Rebuilt 225 V6, Rebuilt T86, Rebuilt Spicer 18 T-Case, Brand new Swampers mounted on 15X10 A/R rims and more!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2950.

“1959 jeep Willys with a small block v8. It is currently not running. Need it sold! $3000 obo! Pink in hand!”
Jim spotted this stock CJ-5.
“You are bidding on a 38k original mile gem. This jeep was originally purchased in California and made it’s way to Oklahoma in 1986. The jeep has been garage kept all of it’s life. This jeep was purchased from the original owning family in 2002, the odometer at that time was 13,240.
There is zero rust in the body of this Jeep and very minor surface rust. The paint is factory original, color code 433, Spring Green. The Jeep has never been off-roaded and has only been daily driven.
The body and frame are factory straight, and it retains it’s original engine and 3-speed drivetrain.
When the Kayline top was installed, it was ordered built without snaps so it could be matched up to the original snap holes.
The Jeep starts, runs, shifts and stops excellent. One minor modification is the addition of an HEI ignition.
The Jeep has the new Kayline top as well as new seat upholstery and new tires. They were replaced due to dry rot and wear.”

There appears to be value here given the top.
“1969 Jeep Willys 31000 original miles all original all there pretty solid for the year it is a V6. Has always been just a yard plow truck since new. It has been sitting around now for a long time, and I can not get the motor to turn over”

UPDATE: This photo may show the below jeep during the parade. The jeep was listed on eBay, but I do not know if it sold or not.
This jeep was used in Nixon’s inauguration parade on January 20, 1969.
“This is an historically significant Jeep: an official unit (complete with dash plaque) in the Inauguration Parade for President Richard Nixon on January 20, 1969. This Jeep is mostly original, has solid and very clean floors and has been gone over from the ground up. Great shape. Garage kept. Original Dauntless V6 engine runs extremely well. Rebuilt carb, all new brakes including parking brake, new clutch and fork, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, speedo cable, new battery, and all new fluids. 2 tops-soft and bikini. Show winner. Reupholstered original vinyl seats front and rear. Jeep OEM roll bar. Older paint with minimal surface rust. Buffs up really well.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2700.
(08/24/2015) This was owned by Evil Kneivel’s father-in-law. It doesn’t run at the moment, still it appears worth a look.
“Original condition Willys Jeep that has been in storage since 1991. It will need a new battrey, the gas tank cleaned, a few new oil seals and maybe carb repair to get it running again.
I purchased this jeep back in 1972 from the original owner and did convert it to 12 volt. I have owners manual and sidesteps plus a 390 page service manual, army gas can, etc…The first owner installed a tow bar, a power takeoff winch and a airplane altimeter in the dash (see pictures). It has always been kept in a garage and has very little rust.
FYI, the first owner was Evil Kneivels’s father-in-law.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500
Jim spotted this CJ-5.
“Most everything rebuilt in last three years: Engine, Transmission, Brakes, etc.
(Odometer shows 74000 but less than 1000 since engine overhaul)”
This runs and drives. It also includes the vented windshield.
“1960 willys jeep runs and drives good lights and turn signals work great. 3 speed 4 cylinder body in good shape, seats need to be redone good tires ready to go play in the hills. Motor is in excellent condition”

Runs and drives.
“Runs great, drives good. This Jeep was owned by Oceana County in MI so motor and drive train is in great shape needs some body work.”
Needs batter and an oil leak fixed.
“I have a 1948 Willys Jeep that was passed down to me from my grandfather. I have no use for it and it is more of a collectors item. Mechanically it works perfect. The only maintenance that needs to be done is a oil leak repair and a new battery so it will need to be towed away at the buyers expense. The leather seats have no rips or tears, the interior needs a little TLC as well. The winch on the front is fully functional. It also comes with a spare tire and a towing hitch. The engine is a standard 3 speed. I’ve seen these run from $2000 as body frame only and $25,000 fully refurnished. I have the title in hand as well. Cash only.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
This needs a little work and no longer has the top, but still may be a good price. Thanks to Jonathan for pointing it out.
“1965 Jeep CJ5A Tuxedo Park Mark IV. Rare model, less than 2,000 made. All original. Not restored. Original paint, original seats, original hubcaps, etc. I believe even the spare tire is original. No rust to speak of, some minor surface rust where the paint has worn off. 32,000 miles. Needs new tires, and one wheel brake cylinder leaks. Excellent condition for a 50 year old Jeep. Very easy restoration project, or just go over it mechanically (brakes, tune up, lube, etc.) and enjoy the patina look as is.
4 cylinder engine, three speed manual transmission with column shift (part of the Tuxedo Park package).
The photos were taken about 5 years ago. It has been sitting in the garage ever since so it is dirty from dust, and it no longer has the top, which finally fell apart from age.”
This has the short nose, so it’s most likely a pre-1972. It’s an odd one!
“The car is a clean example of a self assembled woody wagon. this is a one of a kind model .I am not the original owner , it was purchased in 2013 in Pembervlle Ohio. The body work was done by a retired highway patrol officer. that had a lot of time on his hands. I would like any interested buyer to inspect the vehicle before purchase”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
There appears to be value here. It’s listed as a 1974, but it is pre 1972.
“For Sale is a Jeep Willys that needs a lot of care. However if you spend and time and effort i’m sure is it would be amazing. Have clean title in hand, must come and pick it up.”
This has a few odd features. Note the sheet metal added to the rear wheel wells. I think they are using it as storage?
“This is a 1963 Jeep Willys also known as a Dispatcher Jeep. It was originally manufactored by Kaiser Jeep. It comes with a plow that is operated by switches in the cab however, it will need either a new battery or a more powerful altenator for the plow to operate correctly as of right now it does not get enough power to operate without a jump box connected. It is a 2 seater, 3 speed manual trans, 4 cyl. It runs good and looks good for the age.
The vehicle will need a little tlc. It would make an ideal plow vehicle as it is small and can manuever into small spaces. It has sliding doors and the rear window slides up and the rear hatch folds down for easy access into the rear of the vehicle. This would make a fun project for someone looking to restore something that has a lot of cool features and is not a complete rust bucket or would make a great plow truck that would be ready to use with a new battery or altenator! The horn does not work. The wipers function as well as all lights. This is a left handed driver model.”

The fiberglass body and hardtop appear to be in good shape. No title and it hasn’t run in a while.UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
“I have a 1957 jeep willy cj2a with a Fiberglas body. Had it running in 2012 then lost interest. Has been sitting since winter of 2013. It will need a new master cylinder, also a battery and a good tune up and she will start right up with no problem. Looking to sell it sooner then later. It will need to be trailered from my house. I don’t have a title for it it has been lost I will give a bill of sale with the vehicle.”
It runs and drives. Has a PTO, snow plow and top. body is rough.
“This is an old Jeep that will need some work. It is rough and rusty but the body is not laying on the ground. The Jeep does have some nice OEM extras. Including an original PTO that drives the front winch. Also has an old plow that I think may have come with the Jeep. It is just a manual turn and hyd. lift with the original jeep pump. Also has an original top and doors. Jeep will start and run fine day and the next time it goes to start may or may not start. So it will need some attention. Not sure what the problem is but it is still an original 6 volt system. May need new tune up parts.”

This looks like a good price.
http://muncie.craigslist.org/cto/5234370348.html
“Using almost as a daily driver for my 15 mile one way commute. Very fun to drive and many original features that make this Willy’s Jeep unique.
Original floor mats, original seat belts, original seats (upgraded option from the Tuxedo line), original wipers (most Jeeps were replaced with aftermarket motors), and I even have the original cardboard glove box (but it was replaced with a plastic box).
The tub floor boards have been patched over the years. The CJ-5 tool box floor was patched and holds tools.
Includes a BestTop with doors and panels – all in great condition.
This is a great fun Jeep to drive with the rock solid original Willy’s 4 flat head with strong consistent oil pressure. 4×4 works too. Continue reading

Jim spotted this good looking CJ-5. Seller is VERY motivated.
