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 .
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $2000.
I thought this looked pretty good for only $2000.
“1959 Jeep Willy, army green, 69,658 original miles. New gas lines, new tank….Many extra parts — engine, doors, tires, gas tank, extra set of tires Must see to appreciate.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
This looks really nice for the price.
“1961 Willys Jeep. Great shape. More new parts than old. Way too many to list. Brakes need adjusting. Runs good.
Original hurricane engine. High/low transmission. 4 wheel drive.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
I thought the paint job on this was unusual enough to post. I’ve never seen stripes quite like those.
“1956 Jeep CJ5 Willys 4×4. Completely original Jeep including hard top and hard doors. 4 cylinder 3 speed. 4×4 has High and Low Range. 6 volt system. Brand new battery and battery cables. New condenser, points and distributor cap. Top and doors come off. Perfect Jeep to restore or drive as is. Has very minor rust. Floor pans are not rusted through. Surface rust only. Not sure if roll bar is factory or not. Back seat is not factory. Just in there for extra seating. Tires and wheels are not original. Jeep has spent it’s life in Montana. Very hard to find a Jeep this old in this rare and original condition. Has some history to go with it! Call with questions.”
There’s some value here. Engine & Tranny rebuilt.
“This is a 1955 CJ5 that was a project of mine. I have restored the chassis to a rolling frame and have yet to assemble the body. Over time I have wanted to finish this project however I have moved away from it and I have most if not more than all of the pieces to complete it. The Enginge and Trans have been completely disassembled and rebuilt. There are new brakes, e-brake, premium warn locking hubs, shocks,rebuilt carb and starter, also the generator has been replaced with a gm one wire alternator, rebuilt radiator, and this list goes on. I have invested over 4 Thousand dollars into this project and now it must go. Feel free to ask any questions as I will answer them as quickly as possible. Thanks.”

This jeep has some unusual history. The engine and tranny are out of it. There is a video of the inauguration parade that shows a CJ-5 pulling a float at the 4:17 mark. http://www.criticalpast.com/video/65675034028_John-F-Kennedy%E2%80%99s-Inaugural-Parade_fireworks-in-the-sky_John-A-Volpe . There is a reference to them at the G503, too: http://g503.com/forums///////viewtopic.php?f=19&t=162217“Click here for ADDITIONAL PHOTOS
“This is a 1961 Willys CJ-5 with some history. Snow was predicted for the 1961 JFK inaugural parade and 2 Jeeps were commissioned to lead the parade and plow if necessary. This is one of the two Willys outfitted with snow plows that led the parade in Philadelphia (plaque on dash). I’m told the paint color was chosen to match Air Force One. After the parade the Jeeps were donated to a Philadelphia school. When they had served their purpose a school employee purchased this Jeep, and we bought it from the next owner who bought it from the school employee. You may have noticed the engine and drive train have been removed; this was the start of a restoration project that never went any further. Items that go with the Willys are: original drive train and engine, extra engine, PTO driven winch, snow plow and all other pertinent items for reassembly.
The dash plaque reads: THIS Jeep VEHICLE WAS AN OFFICIAL UNIT IN THE INAUGURAL PARADE HONORING THE 35TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY JANUARY 20, 1961”
The paint job on this is unusual. The cammo even extends across the headlights. But the inside of this looks quite nice. The jeep may be in good shape.
“Call 906-341-3582 or e-mail for more info. Nice old jeep. Great shape.”

UPDATE: This was listed at $1000. Not surprisingly, it sold quickly.
This sure looks like a good price. I wonder why is wrong with it . . . Maybe the price is a misprint?
“Original engine runs very good. Vehicle has been restored. Has newly upholstered front and rear seats, has roll bars, 31 x10 tires, chrome rims (used). Installed radio, interior lights, carpeting, exterior clearance lights all the way around, large tail and brake lights. There is a brand new BESTOP, doors need slight modification to fit. This is a vehilce that I used for enjoyment only and not real serious 4 wheeling (gully jumping, etc.) The selling price is firm and CASH ONLY. Please do not waste my time or yours otherwise. Call Wayne at 303-601-7929.”
