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: As John points out, the body, chassis and fenders aren’t from ‘55.
The Meyer half cab might be in good shape. Hard to tell what shape the body is in.

Blaine shared this low mileage CJ-5 (17K plus miles). There are some great vintage details on this rig.

“1971 CJ5 jeep renegade 1
17,400 miles original orange paint. One owner had for many years used to plow snow only. Factory ordered hard top and dealer installed snow plow. Body is in excellent condition with only surface rust in places. original tires appear to have been recapped. Original pin stripe seats, dauntless V-6. 3 speed manual with warn overdrive. Amazing survivor collector piece”
This has one of the odder front bumpers I’ve seen. The jeep appears to be solid with a Beck or Kelly hardtop. Note what may be a King Seeley 0-8 speedo.

“Very nice 1955 Jeep cj5 with the original F head engine 3 speed manual and aftermarket locking front hubs. Shifts smooth and runs great all gueges seem to work and have done a partial rebuild on the engine, with 2 new pistons and new head gasket along with a new valve cover gasket electric wiper and fuel pump installed. Let me know if you have any questions, and I am open to offers, just let me know.”
This looks to be a 1970 body or later given the rear fuel inlet. Are those summer hubs? I can’t tell for sure.

This CJ-5 was modified to dig post holes.

“This is a highly modified Jeep designed to dig post holes. It’s a 78 CJ5, in running order and comes with a 6″, 9″, and 12″ auger. I think it can dig as deep as 6′. The best part about this design for digging holes, is the passenger seat faces backwards and has all the controls for driving.”
UPDATE: The price is now $1000 (previously no price).

“Open to trades, don’t need to get rid of it just seeing what’s out there. Runs and drives”
No pics and no description. The sale is part of a sale of other vehicles posted to Barnfinds. Maybe something or maybe nothing. Model unclear. Thanks to Bill for sharing it.

Mark shared this ad. Over all, this looks solid. It likely have a replacement body, as it lacks the faux battery box lid. It does have reverse front springs, so the frame may be original. This also has the King Seely 0-10 early speedometer, which only came with CJ-5s. This does lack the PTO bar in the rear. I think to secure the windshield it is using the Advance Adapter latch kit.
