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 .

“1970 Jeeo Renegade I. First year of the Renegade, only 250 units were produced. AMC bought the Willy’s Jeep and wanted everyone to own one instead of just selling them to the military. They painted them brilliant colors, put lots of chrome on them and the rest is history. I bought it from a gentleman that had it for 32 years. It was his “baby”. It has the dauntless V-6 engine, over 200,000 miles but still runs great, 3 speed transmission with a manual overdrive. I have a hardtop and a new soft top for the vehicle. Asking $10,000.
Gary contacted me tonight to ask if I knew which year of jeep body my father used for his CJ-5 rebuild. It was a good question I didn’t know. I’d never studied the Renegade stripes. My research was not exhaustive on this, so please feel free to correct any mistakes.
Based on my review, I believe my Dad’s body came from a 1974 CJ-5. I started with the below picture.
Notice the stripe falls vertically. So, I just had to find a comparable vertical stripe. I just didn’t know how many years jeep produced the stripe. It turned out to be just 1974.
I looked up 1971 and 1972 bodies. During those years the Renegade had a straight stripe that didn’t drop over the side of the cowl as you can see below:
In 1973 the renegade had a straight back, then drop-angled stripe:
Note how the stripe is angled over the cowl and splits. This is a supposed to be a factory photo.
In 1974, the stripe fell straight as seen in these photos:
This is a factory photo.
Possible Late 1974 Style? Notice how the name drops lower. This stripe is being sold on eBay as a 1974/1975 style.
Here’s another example, though this jeep was listed as a 1973 (can’t find the original link). It may actually have been a 1974:
Here’s another jeep listed as a 1974:
In 1975, the style changed to one that dropped, then went straight back.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $600.
This shouldn’t last long. It’s got an overdrive and it runs! If it were near me I’d buy it.
“1955 Willy’s Jeep with 44,739 original miles. Quite a collector’s item. The engine number is 4J94860 and the vin number is 5754818451. An overdrive has been added to the drive train. It has the original 4 cylinder motor and runs. The carburetor has been rebuilt including a new accelerator pump. It has new spark plugs, a new battery, and the tires are in good shape. $600. OBO. If the new owner wished to keep the original 4-cylinder motor, he may want to install a new fuel pump.”

“1968 CJ 5 Jeep, This Jeep is in very nice condition and is set up for serious off road travel, clear Oregon title with 2014 tags, Buick V-6, T-18 4 speed transmission, Warn Overdrive, after market commercially produced boxed frame, stainless steel headers, dual exhaust, electric fan, power steering with radiator cooler, roll bar, double shocks, lifted, set up with tow bar for easy movement, second set of Super Swamper tires on chrome wheels.”
It runs, thought it needs a few parts. The rust might be minimal given the top.
“1953 CJ3A Jeep Willys
You will see in the photos this thing is completely original from tires to glass, to the paint and top. The only added feature I am aware of is a tubular steel roll cage that was added. This Jeep was kept in a barn for roughly 20 years. It would be a great Willys Restore Project due to it all being there.
The price for this Jeep is $$1750 OBO. Cash Only Please. This Jeep needs an ignition switch rebuild, a starter solenoid, a battery and two battery terminal cable connections to run. We carb started it when the battery and solenoid were still attached and it cranked within 5 minutes!.
For additional Info please contact Daniel at 325-668-5045”
