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 .
Hey, it runs and drives. Could be useful for someone.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
The rear of the body looks to be a CJ-5.
“1953 Willys Jeep CJ3A. I think i am the third owner. I have owned it for 23 years or so. It has less than 500 miles on a frame off rebuild. Rebuilt running gear, suspension, steering, steering box and column, oversized brakes, drums and wheel cylinders, master cylinder, and new brake lines. Rodded original radiator, installed overflow tank. Rebuilt Harrison heater and rodded core. Installed 12 volt 3 wire alternator, totlal rewire of vehicle, rebuilt starter motor, converted all lights and guages to 12 volt, and installed fuse strip. Has roll cage, Lincoln electric bucket seats (but have originals, see photo) fold and tuck rear seat. Has full soft top and doors, bikini top and 5 new tires and wheels. Original scripted metal body, fenders and hood. No dents (to speak of). I did not repaint body, because my wife would not want it “scratched”. Has been garaged with all 3 owners. I have all receipts and many of the old parts that were replaced. Willys listed these as a “1/4 ton truck”.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $4500.
This is a project that looks nearly complete. It looks like a nice rig that won’t take much to finish. It includes a rebuilt rear PTO as well.
“I’ve been working on this old Jeep for over ten years, and enjoyed (almost) every minute of it. But time has passed, and my priorities have changed. This Jeep has fresh paint, rebuilt axles and t-case, Warn Overdrive, and a Spicer PTO. It has a full floating rear Dana 44 axle, with an ARB Airlocker, ARB Onboard Air compressor, and a Dana 25 front axle with the original Powerlock limited slip differential. Continue reading
Rick pointed out to me that this 1958 CJ-5 has no battery box lid nor does it have the knockout piece on the passenger side of the hood. Is it possible this was special ordered without those items? Or did they sometimes use the battery box bodies and sometimes use the non battery box bodies? Nearly all the CJ-5s I’ve recorded have the battery box lids on the 58s.
May be a good jeep for the price.
“All new great shape”

Jim spotted this nice looking CJ-5. It looks like it has a Tuxedo Park Package and appears to have the Indian Ceramic steering wheel.
“From high up in the mountains of central Colorado comes a very well preserved, 1964 CJ5 that is largely unmolested. The reason I say largely unmolested is that other than a carburetor change to aid the drivability at altitude, this jeep is all original from factory paint to the factory upholstery. The original Carter Carburetor is included, along with the air cleaner ducting should the buyer wish to return it to its stock configuration. Carter did offer a “High Altitude” kit for the “Hurricane 4″but it was rated rated at 4000 ft above sea level, but when you consider that this jeep lives at 8000 ft, and a ride into the high country may find it 13,000’+, you see the Carter solution is not viable. Re-jet you say? Carter used metering rods instead of jets, so that’s why it has the very popular Weber Progressive 2 bbl. conversion which allows re-jetting to accommodate the thin air.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1395.

Frazier came across a fascinating post on the Land Rover Series One Club forum. Apparently, there were discussions between Land Rover and Kaiser Willys about working together or a merger. According to this book about the British Motor Industry, the talks occurred in 1958. After exchanging information and design ideas, it appears Kaiser backed out of the deal.However it happened, Land Rover engineers apparently built a hybrid CJ-5 Land Rover. All the photos can be seen at the Rover forum. You’ll need to sign up with the forum to see all the photos.
According to one of the photo’s captions, Using the transmission and chassis from an 88 inch model (shortened to 83 inches) this hybrid LR/Jeep prototype was created by Land Rover as potential partnership discussions between the two companies were held. Ultimately no association was formed but an interesting prototype all the same.
This CJ-5 is powered by a Kubota.
“Kubota turbo diesel. runs great. needs tires and wheel seal. very rust free. from Colorado this year. clear title in my name.”
