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 .
Here’s something special. It runs. You’d be the only one on the block with this rig.

UPDATE: This was on eBay, but seller pulled the ad. I don’t know if it sold or not.
Jim spotted this good looking CJ-5. Seller is VERY motivated.
“This Jeep runs and drives great, just took it on a 150 mile cruise 70 mph no problem. Steering is tight and is suspension. Look at all the pic’s and see the original condition and original factory red paint (not repainted).This Jeep has great patina!! Please note: a small dent in front right fender, small ding in front left fender, small tear in soft top. Top is not perfect but looks and functions well. Absolutely no fluid leaks in or around engine.
A few cool spec’s relating to what we have for sale.

Hey, it runs and drives. Could be useful for someone.
“62 Willy Jeep frame and drive line. 231 Buick VA engine w/headers. Everything works including hydraulics . This is your answer to the 15,000$ ATV!!!!! There is no title because it’s an assembled vehicle. This is for off road/ATV use. Had to put a number in odometer section”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
The rear of the body looks to be a CJ-5.
“1953 Willys Jeep CJ3A. I think i am the third owner. I have owned it for 23 years or so. It has less than 500 miles on a frame off rebuild. Rebuilt running gear, suspension, steering, steering box and column, oversized brakes, drums and wheel cylinders, master cylinder, and new brake lines. Rodded original radiator, installed overflow tank. Rebuilt Harrison heater and rodded core. Installed 12 volt 3 wire alternator, totlal rewire of vehicle, rebuilt starter motor, converted all lights and guages to 12 volt, and installed fuse strip. Has roll cage, Lincoln electric bucket seats (but have originals, see photo) fold and tuck rear seat. Has full soft top and doors, bikini top and 5 new tires and wheels. Original scripted metal body, fenders and hood. No dents (to speak of). I did not repaint body, because my wife would not want it “scratched”. Has been garaged with all 3 owners. I have all receipts and many of the old parts that were replaced. Willys listed these as a “1/4 ton truck”.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $4500.
This is a project that looks nearly complete. It looks like a nice rig that won’t take much to finish. It includes a rebuilt rear PTO as well.
“I’ve been working on this old Jeep for over ten years, and enjoyed (almost) every minute of it. But time has passed, and my priorities have changed. This Jeep has fresh paint, rebuilt axles and t-case, Warn Overdrive, and a Spicer PTO. It has a full floating rear Dana 44 axle, with an ARB Airlocker, ARB Onboard Air compressor, and a Dana 25 front axle with the original Powerlock limited slip differential. Continue reading
Rick pointed out to me that this 1958 CJ-5 has no battery box lid nor does it have the knockout piece on the passenger side of the hood. Is it possible this was special ordered without those items? Or did they sometimes use the battery box bodies and sometimes use the non battery box bodies? Nearly all the CJ-5s I’ve recorded have the battery box lids on the 58s.
May be a good jeep for the price.
“All new great shape”

There looks like plenty of jeep here for the price.

“Runs good ,4×4 works good. Sale or trade. Clear title”

Looks like it might be a good price.
“**Price Reduced**Good running and in great condition 4 cylinder. Has snowplow. Everything is in absolute good working order.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. According to Bill this has the Mark III Tuxedo Park package.
Jim spotted this nice looking CJ-5. It looks like it has a Tuxedo Park Package and appears to have the Indian Ceramic steering wheel.
“From high up in the mountains of central Colorado comes a very well preserved, 1964 CJ5 that is largely unmolested. The reason I say largely unmolested is that other than a carburetor change to aid the drivability at altitude, this jeep is all original from factory paint to the factory upholstery. The original Carter Carburetor is included, along with the air cleaner ducting should the buyer wish to return it to its stock configuration. Carter did offer a “High Altitude” kit for the “Hurricane 4″but it was rated rated at 4000 ft above sea level, but when you consider that this jeep lives at 8000 ft, and a ride into the high country may find it 13,000’+, you see the Carter solution is not viable. Re-jet you say? Carter used metering rods instead of jets, so that’s why it has the very popular Weber Progressive 2 bbl. conversion which allows re-jetting to accommodate the thin air.
