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 .
Steve spotted this photo of an Armoured CJ-5 used by Armoured Banking Services to transport cash. On July 26th, 1966, this jeep was used to ferry cash to the Veterans Administration. A couple of men decided to make a withdrawal from the two employees carrying the cash into VA building, knocking them down with a submachine guns. You can read the whole story in the article below the eBay photo.

This is an article I found online about the robbery:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1100.
(10/16/2012) Ed forwarded me the following information, “i have a 55 willys in excellent shape all original except seats. mmotor runs and has only 38000 miles (orig). my neighbor owned it and gave it to me for work on 51 ford. i dont have title but if i could find serial number on frame i can get papers. i want 1500.00 cash and you can take it away”
No pics provided.
“I have a 1955 Willys jeep 4×4 with a 289 engine and 33 inch tires… Text me if interested…575-590-0705 I have pics… NO TRADES”
This would make a nice little jeep if you have an engine to put into it.
“This is a 1970 jeep cj5 that is in good shape. The body is in good shape with a couple little rust spots. The hat channels are perfect. The frame is very nice. This has the 27 front and the very desirable offset flanged 44 rear both with 4.27 gearing. It has a new 2.5 inch lift kit with new shocks and brand new 33” tires and wheels. The previous owner pulled the four cylinder for a sbc swap that never happened. I have a f head but its stuck and may only be good for parts. The windshield frame is beautiful and the glass is good. The seats are tattered but could be used as is. I want 1000 very firm and I have a clear title in hand. 509-261-0306 ”

I believe this answers my question about the DJ-6 serial number. The DJ-6 model number is referred to as 8605.
This has a fiberglass body. There’s some value here.

Slight sag in a rear . . .
“all original willys jeep owned by same owner for 25 plus years. rebuilt motor with very low miles on it. pto trans with winch in back. everything works 4×4 winch all gears runs and drives good. the winch is strong, easily stronger than my warn 9000. the bad news is it used to have an A frame on the back that’s why it has the winch in the back and it was used to lift stuff to heavy so the frame and body are bent down in the back. the frame is bent down from the axel back. the body is pretty rough. this would be a great parts car or a desert toy. it will go anywhere. windshield not cracked. wiper works. still 6v set up. lots of original parts on it worth money. the pto trans works great and shifts smooth. have an original spare tire as well. have clean title and it is currently ca registered. brand new battery. email call or text, in email put jeep 4×4 in subject or i will not answer do to spam. 8-0-5,509,-3322. i work on weekdays till 3:30 so if you call before then i will not pick up but feel free to leave a message. might be interested in a trade for jeep Cherokee, Comanche, jet-ski, etc.. lemme know what you got with a picture. i get pic messages.”

“Desert Tan, 30″ mud tires, F-Head, 4 Cylinder, rebuilt new brakes and fuel pump. Runs good. Does need carb work.”

Would saying this needs work be an understatement?
“WILD SWAMP BUGGY ON WILLYS JEEP FRAME.**ROLLER** HAS ALL DRIVETRAIN PARTS EXCEPT MOTOR (HAD PINTO MOTOR, DOES NOT RUN) ANYONE WITH FAB SKILLS CAN MAKE THIS INTO A SICK OFFROAD CRUISING RIG.”
