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 looks good.

Doug spotted this nicely rebuilt jeep.
“1966 CJ5. Jeep Kaiser/ Willys frame off restoration great shape. I just don’t drive it. In 1966 they did all the best things to the Jeeps. Because the old flat head was so weak Jeep added the Buick Dauntless V6. Tons of power and able to handle any road. The tires have less than 100 miles on them. If your are into classic jeeps this is the one for you!”
This has a fiberglass body. It runs and drives, but doesn’t stop.
“1964 willys cj 5 fiberglass body and fenders jeep in good shape runs and drives needs lights wired up harness and lights all there just needs to be hooked up . it has a four cyl f head with a 3 sp tranny four wheel drive works great . brakes need a little tinkering i think the wheel cylinders are leaking on rear axle. this is a really cool rig and would make someone a great toy to play in the woods or putt putt to your local car show. give me a call or email Ben 1-802-325-2023 thanks for looking”

The soft halftop looks in good condition.
“1955 Willys Jeep for sale. Soft top, roll bar. L4 engine. 6 1/2 foot Meyer snowplow. Rebuilt motor. Good condition”
Blaine spotted this CJ-5 with a factory V8 at Ecola St. Park along the Coast of Oregon. The angle top is pretty rare, though it could use some retightening.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.
It doesn’t run, but there may be some value.
“1960 Willys Jeep CJ5 $ 650.00 Clear Wisconsin title 4 cyl engine. Very rare original top. 15″ tires. Two radiators 99% complete. Front original bumper. Original seats. Always had top on. Headlight buckets and covers are in a box. Repairable.”
Original Renegade stripes and color (though faded). I believe the rims are original too. However, the bumper looks like a swim ramp.
“Must have for rock climbing!! This jeep has only 41,000 original miles on it. Put a new fully enclosed BEST top on it now a year old. Runs great does need some TLC. Minor rust spots, carb. could use a cleaning, other minor fix-ups. We bought as a project car from original owner and don`t have the time it deserves. This is one great collectors item they don`t have any like this around.

This price looks good. This runs and drives and has a PTO, but the 4wd doesn’t work. Also, this seems a bit late for a split windshield.
“1961 Willys Overland Jeep CJ5- 2.2L F Head 4 Cyl, T90 three speed transmission, Dana 25/27 differentials, 4×4 with high and low gears (4 wheel drive is not operable at the moment but drives in low or high gear).

UPDATE: Eric shared some early pictures of his work.
This summer my cousin Eric bought a CJ-2A in Idaho and trucked it back to his new home in Enumclaw. This was his first jeep and it has been disassembled, now awaiting assembly. It seems the Willys but has bit him, because he while waiting to assemble his CJ-2A, he bought a 1978 CJ-5 project that needed some cosmetic work. He recently got that together and it looks pretty good. I really like the copper color. Between our busy schedules I have yet to see this in person, but I hope to soon.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
Buz forwarded this nice looking CJ-5.
“This little jeep came from the dry desert & was a 95% rust free vehicle before total restoration began. It has the original 4cyl inline engine that runs like a top. I have more pics that
I can email upon request.
Or you’re welcome to call for appt & come out to my house & take a look for yourself.
$7500. (May consider some sort of sa trade-in, if that’ll help you)
It would cost over $10k to get this professional type work done on this jeep if you were to hire it out. It looks better than new in every aspect, including under the hood.”
Maybe someone could use these?

This just made my day. It will run, too!
“According to the internet, “The Jeep was the most reliable and favorite vehicle of the armed forces.” This one won’t be any of that, but here’s a brief ‘Ratrospective’ on this creation. We took a stunning, low mileage and rust free Willys Jeep, tore it off the frame and cut it into several pieces (settle down, we’re just kidding).
This salute to our armed services started life as a 1955 Willys Jeep. We pulled the body off the frame, lengthened it twenty inches and narrowed the back half of it eleven inches. We then channeled the body over a 1984 Chevy S-Blazer 4×4 frame that had a small-block Chevy transplant. We added the dual quad intake and a couple of old Holley carbs. We fabbed our own zoomies, took some Army-issue backpack frames and direct mounted them to the floor for back rests. Seats are U.S. issue blankets torn in pieces. Some of the flooring and the seatbelts are courtesy of a wrecked Michigan State Police cruiser. We’ve got 4 Jerry cans out back for a fuel tank and a canteen over-flow tank for the radiator. Air Cleaners are drilled helmet liners and zoomie covers are olive drab soup cans wired together (we kept losing them when we fired it up). If you plan on ever driving this, there’s a pick and shovel mounted so you can dig your own grave. Battery box is U.S. Army issue tool box. It’s got a pre-historic Mallory coil and distributor for fire power. Zip ties hold the tilt front end closed (for now) but you’ll need a better solution. We don’t quite have the shift linkage figured out so you’ll have to come up with something. Right now the shifter is out in front of the windshield.
The Rat does run but we haven’t had the guts (stupidity) to drive it. We will be selling this vehicle as ‘PARTS ONLY’! It does come titled as a 1955 Willys. Miles are not actual. Buyer will have to pay a document fee of $190 or 5% of the sale price (whichever is less). Plus 6% Michigan sales tax and a title transfer of $15. Sorry, but we all have to pay taxes.
You’re gonna need a trailer (Rat trap) to pick this up. We will help you push it on board, but you’ll have to handle everything else. Any questions? We check email once a day. You can also call Fergy at(810)653-4111.
There is no reserve on this auction but we think it’s worth millions.
This will make a great project, art study or urinal for the discerning buyer.”

This is supposed to run.
“Arctic hard top 4×4 needs work but i had it running has some rust”
This looks good.
“Hi and thank you for looking at my auction. I am helping my father list his Willys jeep as he isn’t computer savy, not that I am either:)
He has a 1955 CJ5 Willys jeep. It has a Best Top soft top and doors. Overhead valve engine. Came from a farm in Illinois before my father bought it. Drives out well. Has been sitting in the shed on the farm here for a few years. Starts and runs well. Carburetor might need a rebuild again. I rebuilt it a fews years back but this wonderful ethanol fuel ruins the rubber diphram in this carb. Paint is fair, not flashy but not going to slide off in a fast turn either. Body is nice and not a rust bucket. I can take pics of the floors and inside and under the body. Was always a red Willys. First year of this “new” body style.
Any questions please ask. Always welcome to come and look and drive it. We will help with shipping and can haul or drive it towards you if that helps. Is and has always been inside since my father purchased it and can stay here if needed as long is it is paid for or prior agreement made to do so. Willing to help just ask before the end of the sale! Title is free and clear, no liens or loans on it.
This is a nice old running and driving jeep. It is almost 60 years old and lived it’s life on a farm. It has a super solid body and runs out great and handles like a nice old truck. It does have dings and dents that have been fixed, the paint is as old as I am (35 years), there are chips in the paint and some scatches. It is a super fun go and get a malt type of dependable old vehicle.
This is a $6500.00 jeep not a restored $12,000.00 one so if that is what you want this is not the truck for you. Please come and look at it before you bid or ask questions about with more than a day left, please. It can be driven and I encourage people interested to do just that.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
This has a rear PTO and runs.
“1952 Jeep Willys
with rear PTO and front snow plow
runs great
ready for work”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
For $500 looks like a good parts jeep. It doesn’t run at the moment, but has a Kelly hardtop.
“For sale is a 1963 Jeep Willys CJ5 it has a steel hard top and full hard doors in good condition. Also it has 2 engines the orginal 4 cylinder and the buick v6 found in the later 1960’s willys, also it has the orginal transmission and transfer case, has a rear dana 44 and i also have an extra dana 44 with it and too many other parts to list. I also have a clean and clear title for this jeep.This is a restoration project, frame body and hard top has surface rust but has no rust through spots just on the rear cross member. Transmission and transfer case will need overhauled and it does not run.”
