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 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.”

The article doesn’t specify where, but it appears this jeep is in Europe somewhere. Thanks to Alex for spotting it!

This could be a good price.
“I have a 1960 Willy’s CJ5 for sale or possible trade
Has a 283 small block Chevy which has some value to it itself
Th350 auto tranny
Not perfect but not bad”

There may be value here.
“1951 Jeep Willy SB ford and 1974 CJ V6 buy both for 1200.00 or each 600.00 No titles”
http://baltimore.craigslist.org/cto/5152033618.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800.
The pics show hubcaps on one side, but not the passenger side. Looks nice otherwise.
“This is a fairly rare, uncut, unmodified, CJ5. 1970 was one of the last years for the “old style” short nose CJ5 before AMC lengthened it so they could put their 232 straight 6 in it.
This one has the old 134 cubic inch Willy’s Hurricane four cylinder engine in it and it runs great. It sounds good, pulls good, does not smoke, starts very well. It has a newer top and side doors, new tires within a couple of thousand miles ago and is a lot of fun on a hot day running around town with the windshield down.
Bear in mind this is not the newer style Jeep and it is not a highway runner. It has a top speed of between 50 and 55. Off road it is a lot of fun. It was painted by a previous owner and is presentable, it has solid floors and the body is very rust free.
All Fluids have been changed and it has a new starter. I bought a new tow bar for it but never installed it, this will go with the Jeep if you want it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $550.
There could be some parts value here.
“Nice old jeep a little rough but all original with only 21636 miles. This is also the first jeep off the line in 1960 ser 57548. Engine setup not running, floors rotted out but frame and body are pretty good shape.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
Between the top and the winch this looks to have value.
“1955 Willy’s Jeep
1969 V6 Xtra Frame Fenders to many parts to list”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Chris sold this locally. Was $15,000.
“Regretfully selling my beloved 1959 Willys Jeep CJ5. This Jeep has been 100% disassembled and restored to original condition. All steel body with absolutely no rust whatsoever. Frame was sandblasted and painted with POR-15, and every detail has been taken care of.
Here is all the information…
THE GOOD
Fully restored 100%
All steel body. Painted in President Red (the original color) using base coat/clear coat and hand polished to a mirror shine
Original engine and drive train — F-head 4 cyl engine with 3 speed manual transmission, 4 wheel drive with high/low range
Beautifully upholstered seats matching the original style, color, and stitching
Kept as original as possible down to the vacuum wiper motor (passenger wiper is manual)
5 brand new radial tires
Completely rewired using reproduction original style wiring harness
Everything mechanical has been gone through and rebuilt or replaced
Draws a crowd at car shows and parking lots
Seat belts were added, although not required by law.
Kept it as original as I could. The only modernization or customization I did was the use of stainless hardware for appearance, radial tires, and Petronix electronic ignition conversion.
Extensive research went into making this as original as possible. Research revealed the correct color of the paint, the windshield frame (semi-gloss black), the upholstery, and even the headlight buckets. Every possible attempt was made to make this as perfect an example of an original 1959 Willys CJ5 as humanly possible.

This body has an M-38A1 rear and maybe a 3A(?) cowl. It’s listed as a 46 in one location and a 43 in another.

“For sale is a 1965 Willys Jeep CJ5 with approximately 28k original miles on it. I picked this up in Pennsylvania a few years ago with the intent of fixing it up and using it to plow snow on my private road. I don’t have time or room for it anymore so it must go. It was originally purchased new in Pa with a dealer installed plow, hard top and radio and was only used to plow a private road. The elderly gentleman I bought it off of was the 3rd owner and used it to plow his driveway.
It is CJ-5 that was bought new by the family and funs.
“I have a 1956 Willys jeep for sale. The drivetrain and motor is good . The motor runs. It is the old Willys jeep . There is no title. Was bought new in 1956 and had only one owner. Owner passed away and son trying to sell.”
http://dayton.craigslist.org/cto/5108708878.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
Unclear if this is $500 a piece or total. The multi-colored truck appears to have an original push bumper.
“I am selling these 3 old Jeeps, I don’t know much about them, titles have not yet been found but maybe will be. Would prefer to sell them as parts and all three at once. Any other questions or to set up view feel free to call or email.”

No good overview pics.
“This is a 1956 Willys Jeep-A-Trench. Comes complete with the original engine, transmission and all Jeep-A-Trench components. Also comes with the rare original engine governor. I have the original pink slip title with the matching black California license plates. I also purchased another Jeep-A-Trench Willys jeep for parts. So you also get an extra engine, transmission, and complete Jeep-A-Trench setup (there is one just like it currently advertised on eBay for $5,500). I have two digging chains; one with cups for soft soil and one with spikes for hard soil. I paid $600 for all new bearings for the digger chain wheels. I have all four auger screws. Lot’s of good and rare documents included. Extra “Electrolift” for the front blade included as well. This jeep is complete with the original front blade and counterweight too. I have many body and many misc parts that go with this jeep; extra steering column and box, extra drive shafts, excellent gas tank, etc.”
