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: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Wayne points out that the skid plate was optional. This is one nice Renegade (though an imperfect restoration to stock). My only question about this is the lack of the protective skid plate underneath the gas tank that bolts between the back of the frame and the cross member in front of the tank (something my 1973 CJ-5 had). (here’s a stainless steel version of what I mean)
“This week Canyon State Classics brings to market an awesome example of a 1974 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade in stunning condition inside and out. This Jeep was bought brand new at Galloway Motors on October 3rd, 1973 by Mr. Thomas Payne of Tucson. This Jeep has Southwest desert area its whole life and is completely solid and rust-free, and still retains its all original steel tub with no patch work. This little CJ has just come out of the collection of a 35 year Jeep dealer and expert who just recently completed a full frame off restoration on this gorgeous CJ-5. He stated that he believes the miles are original at under 40k, as he knows the Jeep was off the road for the better part of 25 years before the restoration. The vehicle has been carefully restored to like new condition!”
This needs the tranny reinstalled. Might be a good price. The paint scheme is unusual.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Were $7200
Looks like a flat fender body (mb? or vec CJ-2a?) has been dropped onto a 1979 CJ-5 chassis.
“Titled as a 79 cj5 but hav a 48 willys title that came with the tub.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Given the PTO and hardtop, this may be worth a look.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $500.
Sure looks like a dually to me. And, it includes an overdrive! This won’t last long. I suspect it had a wrecker or trencher on it. I wonder if it has a PTO as well.
“For Sale 1960 Willy cj5 in parts. picture shows it complete. have clear title and in non op. have axles,frame, cab and even warn overdrive unit.must take all parts. Price $500”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
This might be worth a look if it’s as stock as advertised.
“A very Rare find 1963 Willys CJ5 Open Body Jeep 4×4, not the mythical “Barn Jeep” but a “Shed Jeep” that is in great unrestored stock shape! Stored in a shed by & older man for years, he had it painted primer gray to repaint back to the factory Spruce Tip Green color but never got to that point. You can finish what he started or paint it what color you like. What u see is what u get, I didn’t even wash it for pics. Like it came from Willys, factory split 60/40 Green seats to the factory heater its all stock except for the primer paint. Odometer reads just 30k miles which the p.o. said is the true mileage. Based on what i can tell the Jeep has never been abused, cut or bondo’d, so I believe that statement could be true! This CJ5 is regestered with Arkansas antique plates. P.O. Has added a set of lights on bumper that are not factory. Runs & Drives
(Has all the original running gear)
4-134 Fhead Motor 30k
RARE 4Speed T-98 Transmission
Dana 18 Transfer Case
81″ Wheelbase
I think you will be hard pressed to find a Early Willys CJ5 in this kind of shape ready for a easy restoration or just keep it the way it is and enjoy it!”http://littlerock.craigslist.org/cto/4078634323.html

Robin spotted this funny ad. The price looks good. A beard is recommended.
“Here it is… One of perhaps the most amazing 1966 Jeep CJ5’s ever built. Why you ask with a slightly skeptical tone??? Well I’ll tell you why my friend: because I’m the guy trying to sell it soooo, naturally, it is the most amazing CJ5 ever built and it could be all yours for a mere $1966. But I’m not biased at all…
I suppose your next question would be: Why are you asking $1966? If you have to ask that, well, I just hope you can make the connection all on your own… Now on to the magical details this little beast holds within!!
Year-1966
Engine-The good ol’ Willys 4 cylinder that would keep on chugging through a nuclear holocaust.
Trans-3 speed manual, plus reverse!!
Brakes-manual
Steering-manual
Transfer Case-you guessed it, manual
Body-amazingly straight, no rust!
Full roll cage
Seats-yep, got them too
Wiring-all pretty new
A few more tasty morsels to chew on: It has new brakes on three wheels, the fourth drum didn’t want to slid off as easy and my buddy doing the brakes apparently wasn’t in the fightin’ mood to persuade it, hence why there is an extra set of pads sitting in the back. Maybe you will have more motivation. And some WD40. And a hammer.
Yes, it runs. It needs a new carb though, they are about $130. I wake up every morning with the best intentions to order one, then I look out the window, see a squirrel, and the thought is lost until the next morning. It has happened more than you know and I honestly don’t see it stopping anytime soon. Long story short, you’ll want to buy a new carb! Now for some Q & A time!!
Q: Can I test drive it?
A: Nope, unless you fork over the cash. In that case you’re free to do whatever your little heart desires. I don’t have registration on it and don’t plan on putting any on it. I will fire it up so you can hear the rumble of all those ponies though.
Q: Do you have a top for it?
A: No. Tops are for wimps. It has a rollcage, that’s plenty.
Q: Would it make a good daily driver?
A: In my opinion… Heck no! If you want a daily driver buy a Civic. This is late 40’s technology that somehow made it into the 60’s. If you are looking at buying a manly vehicle such as this I feel this shouldn’t need to be explained this to you.
Q: Do I have to have a beard to own it?
A: No, but highly recommended.
Q: Why are you selling it?
A: I was drinking, bought it from my best friend, now it is taking up precious real estate in the garage. I want it gone. I have no desire to drive it as I’m a big feller, which does not mix well with Jeeps.
Well that ought to get you started, it needs a little tinkering but it is one heck of a solid Jeep! Now lets talk about the price… I’m motivated. Want it gone. Like yesterday. As previously mentioned I’m asking $1,966.00 but feel free to throw out a number. I won’t get offended, I’ll just tell you no if I don’t like it. Pretty simple really. If you get offended that easy, I feel sorry for you.
Trades you ask? Sure, I’ll entertain trades. No vehicles though, trying to reduce that count by one. Got something nifty? Worth a lil’ something? Just let me know.”
UPDATE: Todd had to cancel the sale. He will relist soon.
Only the lift is for sale.
“Very Rare Find! Up for sale is a complete, working Monroe Hydraulic System that was manufactured as an aftermarket item for Willys Jeeps in the 1950’s era. These hydraulic systems were made for Willys Jeep Models CJ-2A, CJ-3A, CJ-3B and CJ-5.
What makes this more interesting is that the unit comes with the original Maintenance and Mechanic’s Manual and the original purchase receipt from 1958, which totaled over $900.
As you can see int he pictures, this items has been outside and used for over 50 years, so there is surface rust covering most of the unit.
Although not pictured, there is also a counterweight for this unit that sits nicely in the front bumper area that comes with the unit. Also, the scoop appears to be manufactured by Ford. The “Ford” plate is attached to the scoop as seen in the pictures.
I am located in the San Francisco Bay Area and do not have the time to box the unit. Ideally, the unit would be picked up in the SF Bay Area. If not, I may be able to get the unit to a shipper for boxing and transport but only after discussing with the buyer.”
