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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
When we last checked in with Gary, he’d just bought this CJ-5 off of Craigslist. Well, Gary’s been busy this winter getting his Jeep ready for fun this year. He’s got some work left, but his progress looks great. Thanks for sharing!
UPDATE: **Sold** Was $2750.
“1964 FC-170 4×4 truck 3/4 ton, 6 cyl hurricane engine, 3 speed standard transmission, good body, good floors , great front cab corners, good title, great windshield, 9 foot steel bed, complete, runs, needs brakes bled out, 2750.00”
John spotted a flattie with an engine that has a serial number we don’t recognize. You can see the pics below. As far as we both can tell, the engine should start with a “J” rather than a “V”. Anyone know why?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
I’ve got a couple good guesses as to why the battery isn’t charging. Both are a cheap fix. This might be a good price.
“I have decided to sell my jeep willys. Its a 1960 with a 302 v8 engine in it. The engine is good but needs the cooling system worked on in it.For this I would prefer for someone to trailer it home due to overheating. It does have a few oil leaks which is typical for a jeep 50 years old. The body is in great shape with very little rust (like 5%) The interior is complete with newish seats and all gadges work. There is an electrical issue with the battery not staying charged but it should be an easy fix. Ive just lost interest and want a bike. This is a great jeep and would be an awesome project for someone with some time and very little money to invest.”
UPDATE: Was $3500. **SOLD**
This looks good and includes a winch and overdrive. It appears mislabeled as a 1942.
“V-6 Buick engine, overdrive, 8,000 lb. winch, all new suspension, beefed up drive line, good also as a tow-behind.”
This is a ‘real nice’ ‘CJ-5’ that has no wheels. It needs seats. The exhaust manifold is cracked. It’s got the ‘factory’ 4 inch lift. Do you suppose this was parked on the hill before or after they took the wheels off?
“Hey. I’ve got this AMC Jeep CJ5 that i’m trying to get rid of cause my wife says ive got to many vehicals and she needs the money for her asthma medication. Its real nice has the odometer shows 83000 but i think it has rolled over about once. As you can see there arent any tires but wheels shouildnt be too hard and expensive to find. for an extra 400 bucks and can throw in set. Im not sure of the year cause i dont have the title but i know its got the AMC 258 inline six so that might narrow it down. My brother had it running last summer but we never drove it on the highway cause i put the rims and tires on my pickup. its got its small issues but since these are getting hard to find its a very good deal. needs seats. the exhaust manifold is cracked and i think it needs the carb cleaned. its got the factory 4 inch lift and the brakes work. Let me know if you want to come have a look at it.
thanks ray.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
“1949 Willys CJ3A Jeep with a clear Texas title in hand. The body is in great condition with little rust. The toolbox is solid and not rusted through. This was to be a restoration but I don’t have the time to complete it and I’m wanting it to go to a good home to be completed. It is a runner and can be driven. It has a long list done to it already and parts waiting to be installed … All new parts were purchased through Walcks4wd.com and the motor was rebuilt on March 3rd 2010. It is a driver and is in good shape. The transmission is in good shape. The transfer case has some slop in one of the levers but works fine. It’s at the point of needing disassembly, cleaning, painting and reassembly. This is a great restoration project and requires very little in new parts to complete it. I am asking $5000 negotiable. I have much more than that in it already. This really is a good deal.”
This sure looks good for the price.
“1960 Willys CJ5– GREAT CONDITION for a 60’s model ! Front PTO winch. original 4cyl motor. $2350 OBO ! Needs a good home ! MAke me an offer I cant refuse ! 918-476-5246 h 918-694-4948 cell John”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $19,900.
It looks good from a distance. Not a 1951.
“I restored this 1951 Willys Military Jeep with M100 trailer to original condition. Many new parts; brakes, wheels, shocks, exhaust, glass, canvas, seats, new rebuilt engine, transmission, differential, paint, electrical, lights, fording equipment, etc. The jeep is registered and has a clear title. I won a trophy for the class at a local car show this past fall. I would like to sell the jeep and trailer as one unit for $19,900.”
