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 $1800.
Not perfect, but runs and drives.

I’ve never seen a DJ-5 with a half-cab. It is left-handed steering, too.
“Rare Model 1969 DJ-5A Kaiser/Willys Jeep .. GM motor, stock automatic trans and other internal parts…Last year before AMC took over… easy to get parts for… Highway geared, Posi Track Rearend, Stock Auto Trans, New Tires and Drives Fine. Two Wheel Drive.. set up to Tow a Boat or Camper or be Towed behind your RV… Really a tuff little rig .. I would Drive it to Oregon, just as is!
Odometer shows 61,000 Stock 2.5 “IRON DUKE” 4 Cylinder motor. This is an Arizona jeep and not rusted, like the ones I’ve seen in Oregon. Clear/Clean Title in hand.. If you want to Test Drive or have questions”

It only gets 11 MPG? That seems a little low to me.

“1974 Am General Jeep DJ-5 RHD. Rear wheel 2WD with automatic, 232 CID in line 6 cyl. Fully Functional and ready for mail route. Odometer functions and shows a little less than 73K, but being 40 years old I have no idea if that is correct. Tires very good, brakes and steering recently adjusted. Just installed new radiator and wiper blades 3 weeks ago and new Duralast Gold battery 4 weeks ago. I purchased this in January of this year to use on a rural mail route as a part-time carrier, and used it several times on the route, but was just hired as a full time driver for Fedex, so I no longer need it.
Previous owner replaced many parts and I have his service/parts records as well as my own. Cosmetically, it’s not by any means perfect, but it’s not a certified clunker, either. I have not had it tested for emissions so I have no idea whether it will pass or not. It does run and drive good and I have a clean title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250.
It runs and drives.

“Selling my dj5 ice cream truck. It’s super fun to drive and gets a lot of looks. Still has the pa speaker and ice cream music. It only has 112,xxx miles and runs good. Interior has one seat, and plenty of room to add seats or put for a cooler for ice cream. Has an air trumpet horn, and a high amp battery. Could use new brakes and new gaskets on door seal, and heater needs fixed. It is right hand drive and takes a little to get used to but definitely is fun.”
UPDATE: Was $1200. **SOLD**

If I’d only known . . . Apparently Ceclia Gomez operates a popcorn and cotton candy stand out of a pink DJ-5 near Sunset Park in Brooklyn (near 5th Avenue and 50th Street). My wife says that is a must stop on our next trip to New York!

Here’s an odd item.
“This is a hand made Jeep themed bar, or service counter. The grille is a genuine Jeep part from a early 70’s mail truck. Its pretty much in same condition it was in when I found it. The bar framing is 1×4 and plywood.
The brick work is 2″ bead foam carved, sealed, and painted to look look like real brick. The bar top is reclaimed Red Oak and Cypress which has been sanded, sealed, and finished with 6 coats of water resistant poly clear coat. This is a unique 1 of a kind piece that you will not find at wal mart or Home Cheapo. This would be perfect in a Jeep lovers man cave, or as a service counter at an off road shop, or even a Jeep dealership.
Its 58″ long, 25″ deep, and 42.5″ tall weighs approx.75 lbs. This is a well made,sturdy piece that you will be proud to own. Can deliver in the Orlando area for small fee.
