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 .
Dave spotted this article about a 19 Year Old Iowan name Matt Goode who repowered a CJ-5 with electricity for a FFA (Future Farmers of America) project. I have to say that’s a nice choice of rims (not that I’m particle or anything).
Read the entire article here. http://www.iowafarmertoday.com/news/crop/electric-conversion-brings-life-to-old-jeep/article_b2e56a84-e684-11e3-8882-0019bb2963f4.html

(04/20/2014) This includes an early Belleview winch. Was the chrome piece on the hood some kind of aftermarket item? It seems to fit pretty well.

“1962 Willys Jeep with a fairly new canvas top. I have the doors and the back flap also closes down to enclose the jeep for winter driving.

UPDATE: **SOLD**
(12/05/2013) “We have owned a number of Jeeps through the years and these are the last four we have for sale. 1975 CJ5 has 41k actual miles and includes many extra parts such as a 30 gal aux tank, new black seats and supports, and a new old stock Brass and Copper AMC Radiator.
The 1952 M38A1 was a US Army model with USGI winch. All mechanics on the Jeep were rebuilt back on the 1970’s but had been stored since Grand-dad died in 1998.
The 1978 RHD DJ is very solid–runs great–and has extra passenger seat installed.
The 1957 CJ has only 8k miles on it–very solid body with some unusual US Army Air Corps features (extended top bows and windshield and full floor cut out on door sills)–all factory.
$3500 each or $12,000 package price.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(04/20/2014) This might make a good restoration candidate if the amount of rust is low.

Lockouts and clear title in my name. There is a tow bar for it. I have all the factory original parts. I will not move much on this price. It might take a while to get back to you…please be patient. Thanks”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
The odometer reads 11,800. And, it looks like it could really be low miles. Might be worth a closer look. Not sure why the tailgate is a different color than the body (though the tailgate seems to match the dash.
“This is a well kept, hard to find Jeep. I have original title, was used to maintain driveway of roller rink for many yrs, then stored many more. Actual mileage is 11800+. The engine is the std jeep engine from that yr. Runs quietly, etc. Has hydraulic lift for plow. I also have that plow if interested. Body is very good for a vehicle of 58 yrs.

“Just in time for summer fun, I have up for sale one of the nicest CJ-5’s you’ll ever see!! Just in time for the cruise-ins, running down the road, or through the woods. Your kids or grand kids will love it!!
This ’61 has a brand new steel body. New steel fenders and windshield frame with new glass. Has the original hood, grille, and tail gate. This CJ-5 comes with the original frame as well that has been sand blasted and painted. IT IS IN ABSOLUTELY M-I-N-T CONDITION!!! The front horns (as pictured) have NEVER been tweaked, bent, twisted, or welded on. Good luck finding 53 year old horns and frame as nice as this one.
The motor runs great and transmission shifts smoothly. Clutch is perfect and 4×4 works flawlessly. Drive it anywhere; RUNS – RIDES – DRIVES LIKE BRAND NEW!!
