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: Price dropped to $2300.
(06/12/2012) For the price, it looks like a solid runabout jeep.
“Runs and drives great.. mostly original …great shape..1962 with good title. Also have soft top at a good price

I’m not sure if these are $1500 each or $1500 for both. Only one pic of the CJ-2A and it doesn’t show much.
“nice project for restoration or take it to the woods and get it muddy original hurricane 4 motor new carve and fuel pump. this jeep is not road ready yet. call or text 386-623-4724 for more info possible trade”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. Has an unusual dash.
“PLEASE THIS IS MY SECOND TIME LISTINOriginal Willy Jeep. No reserve auction. 3 speed manual. The car runs and drives. This Jeep was restored in the early 90s.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
This looks like a nice price on a stock CJ-5.
“Neet old jeep everything is original and everything works I use it in the desert and mountains and it never failed me. comes with canvis top with doors. call me”
While searching for more information about Johnny Cash’s 462 CJ-5, about which I found very little, I ran across these two websites.
The first is a resource for people interested in the rare model of CJ-5 called a Super Jeep. You can visit the website here: http://www.superjeep.info
The second is a website devoted to information about the CJ-5 Camper: http://www.cj5camper.com/
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
Here’s an unusual CJ-5.
“This is a full caged 72 CJ-5 with a well built AMC 360 . Full frame off re-fabrication hand built 2×4 square tubing frame. Rear quarter elliptic suspension of my own design incorporates a rotating cross-member to keep the drive angle alignment during articulation. It can go through 2′ of drop and maintain drive line angle without binding the ujoints! The rear end is a 9″ narrowed Ford containing a 4.56 Detroit locker with disk brakes to go along with the GM truck disk brakes on the front, powered by hydrobost, a new GM 1 ton master cylinder keeping the 5 1/2″ bolt pattern front and rear. ….
(there is A LOT of additional description about this jeep).”
This looks pretty good for the price.
“Great running woods jeep no title
the body and frame are in great shape has rust on the floor
4cylinder hurrican
low granny gears
33 supper swampers
239 980 3050”

UPDATE: Jim notes that this CJ-5 is a very rare example of a 462 model CJ-5. You can see his comment about it below. I tried to find some pictures online of a closeup of the decal, but couldn’t find any.
Also, here’s a picture of Johnny Cash from a 1975 Christmas Album. It looks like it could be the same jeep.
I stumbled upon these neat old pics of Johnny Cash from the johnny–cash-infocenter.com website.
UPDATE: Price was $600. **Status Unknown**
If the body is as solid as it looks, this might be a nice little jeep that needs just a little work.
“1957 WILLYS JEEP- I have had this jeep for about 6 years. I drove it about 1 year ago. The engine will turn over with a jummper cable. I took out the gas tank because it rusted a hole in it.
Price- $600.00 or your best offer
If you want more pictures I will text or email them to you.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
(03/26/2011) There’s some value, but hard to tell just how much.
“1952 Willys has a 4.3 EFI and adaptor plate to a 4 speed transmission but no axles. The 1962 Willys has a rolling chassis, engine, tub, windshield frame, roll bar. Take 2 Jeeps and make one or just use the parts. ”
