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: Also on eBay
There may be value here.

Eric spotted this one. The seller doesn’t want to junk this. There could be a little value in this poor, sad jeep.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The starting bid on this is only $1200. It looks pretty good and likely has the 30 spline offset rear differential. Those rims are pretty rare, too.
“Everything about this jeep screams cool. It is a really fun car to drive and definitely willget attention. I had it for 4 years in East Hampton tojust cruise around in. I really dont want tolet it go but I am living in NYC pretty much full time now. This is a great beach wagon and probably the best place for it is near sun and sand. It is definitely a great summer time car and a great project car for some one who doesn’t have a ton of time to spend on getting it back to original. The major overhaul work has been done. There are just a few more minor tweaks to make and then tackle the cosmetics which is the fun part.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
Hard to tell how much value is here.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
I wasn’t aware of the “Safari Edition” of the CJ-5.
“56 4×4 standard shift 3 sticks 4cyl ran when parked. rare safari edition.”
Not perfect, but looks solid.
“I have for sale a 1956 CJ5 jeep willys, it has been painted and partially restored by an individual. Has been converted from 6 volt system to 12 volt, has newer bikini top. The 4 wheel drive works, so it could be converted into a rock crawler. It is road ready, but does need brake work and lighing work. The tires are in fair condition. The interior DOES NOT have the original seats. The frame is solid with no rust. Transmission shifts fine and runs great. It is a 3 speed with reverse maual transmission. Has original ignition in it. This jeep is located in Greenup Kentucky. Please email any questions. The mileage is 120,000, it has a clear title.”

This includes a rear PTO. Looks like a good price despite needing a little work.

(09/27/2012) I kind of like this purpose built jeep.

This is not a Super Jeep, but does have the graphics package.
“Up for auction is a 1974 Jeep CJ5. It is powered by an AMC 304 V8 which we believe is the original engine which may make this Jeep a factory Renegade package. It is a three speed manual transmission we believe the axels to be Dana 44’s front and rear. According to our calculations the axle gearing is 4.27:1,
The Jeep runs and drives well and the 4×4 works well. It has manual lock out hubs, and has a manual choke so it starts and runs well when cold. The engine has been upgraded with an Edelbrock aluminum intake, fendewell exit headers than go to medium loudness mufflers, the Jeep sounds throaty but is not overly loud. The Jeep has been in Arizona its entire life, but does have dents and dings all over the body.
There is no rust but there are dents etc. I would call the Jeep a “five to ten footer” meaning that if you are 5 or 10 feet away it looks like a new Jeep, when you get up to it you notice the dents and dings but hey its almost 40 years old and these werent built to be show cars, but it is rust free. It has been repainted an industrial gloss white and has custom Super Jeep package graphics on the body tub.
The body tub is 1976 and was swapped on many years ago. The Jeep has brand new black low back vinyl bucket seats, new seat frames, and a new factory rear seat from Rugged Ridge. The Jeep has 4″ of total lift comprising of 2″ lift Rancho springs front and rear and 2″ lift Performance Accessories shackles. The tires are new 33×10.50×15 BFG KM2s and the wheels are vintage restored American Racing turbines that have been restored to brand new condition. The wheels and tires were installed in the spring of 2011 and have less than 200 miles on them.
The Jeep belonged to my brother in law who was killed in an accident at work, and he performed all of the work and restoration from approx 2009 to 2011, we got it in the spring of 2011. We have kept it in storage and drive it occaisionally when the weather is nice, but honestly have only put maybe 100 to 150 miles on it over the last year and half, mainly a Sunday cruise when the weather is nice etc. We have decided that it might be time to pass it on to someone else to enjoy, this Jeep turns every head that passes by, and it just needs a few minor details to be perfect in our opinion, but it is ready to enjoy as it is now. Clear Arizona title in hand, the Jeep is located in Avondale, AZ. ”

Steve spotted this photo of an Armoured CJ-5 used by Armoured Banking Services to transport cash. On July 26th, 1966, this jeep was used to ferry cash to the Veterans Administration. A couple of men decided to make a withdrawal from the two employees carrying the cash into VA building, knocking them down with a submachine guns.
