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 **SOLD** Was $1800
The price looks good on this plow jeep.
“FOR SALE 1963 WILLYS CJ5 WITH SNOW PLOW REBUILT ENGINE 3 YEARS AGO NEW CLUTCH THEN ALSO HAS CHAINS PLOWES GREAT NEEDS BRAKE WORK AND AS OF THIS SPRING ENGINE STARTS BUT WILL NOT STAY RUNNING CARB OR IGNITION PROBLEM NOT SURE DO NOT HAVE PAPER WORK”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(04/24/2012) I like the vintage look of ‘Wirick’s’. Given it doesn’t runs, the price is a bit high.
“Selling my 1956? Willys jeep. MUST SELL!
Asking $2500/obo. Very little rust.
Easiest to come look at it. It hasn’t ran for a while…don’t think it would take much to get it running.
Great project!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
Mark just listed this over at sellajeep.com.
“1959 CJ-5 with a 327 Corvette engine from 1962. It has new tie rods, all new electrical, new front and rear seals on the engine, 3″ lift and newer tires. The body is in excellent condition and has no rust. The transmission does need some work.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800
“Kaiser Willys 1955 CJ5. First year of the civilian CJ5’s, 215 V8 Buick motor with 2bbl carb, new battery this spring, 3 Spd tranny, Overdrive, front tow hitch, 60’s era bucket seats. Except for the motor and overdrive I believe this jeep to be fairly stock. I have some 31-10.50-15 tires on it with fair tread. Standard 9 in brakes so expect what you get for brakes with the 9″ drums and 1955 brakes designs. Runs and drives. Some rust peeking through paint with a split on top just behind hood. Bimini top and full soft top with two sets of doors. Soft top is fair. Keeps the weather out but rear window could be replaced as it is cracked. Asking $1800 cash and will only sell local. Can be used as is or would be a base for a builder if desired. My original desire was to build it up but just ended up using it stock for the past 8 or 9 years. Please respond to ad and I will get back with you. Thanks for looking.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $2000.
I thought this looked pretty good for only $2000.
“1959 Jeep Willy, army green, 69,658 original miles. New gas lines, new tank….Many extra parts — engine, doors, tires, gas tank, extra set of tires Must see to appreciate.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
This looks really nice for the price.
“1961 Willys Jeep. Great shape. More new parts than old. Way too many to list. Brakes need adjusting. Runs good.
Original hurricane engine. High/low transmission. 4 wheel drive.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
I thought the paint job on this was unusual enough to post. I’ve never seen stripes quite like those.
“1956 Jeep CJ5 Willys 4×4. Completely original Jeep including hard top and hard doors. 4 cylinder 3 speed. 4×4 has High and Low Range. 6 volt system. Brand new battery and battery cables. New condenser, points and distributor cap. Top and doors come off. Perfect Jeep to restore or drive as is. Has very minor rust. Floor pans are not rusted through. Surface rust only. Not sure if roll bar is factory or not. Back seat is not factory. Just in there for extra seating. Tires and wheels are not original. Jeep has spent it’s life in Montana. Very hard to find a Jeep this old in this rare and original condition. Has some history to go with it! Call with questions.”
There’s some value here. Engine & Tranny rebuilt.
“This is a 1955 CJ5 that was a project of mine. I have restored the chassis to a rolling frame and have yet to assemble the body. Over time I have wanted to finish this project however I have moved away from it and I have most if not more than all of the pieces to complete it. The Enginge and Trans have been completely disassembled and rebuilt. There are new brakes, e-brake, premium warn locking hubs, shocks,rebuilt carb and starter, also the generator has been replaced with a gm one wire alternator, rebuilt radiator, and this list goes on. I have invested over 4 Thousand dollars into this project and now it must go. Feel free to ask any questions as I will answer them as quickly as possible. Thanks.”

This jeep has some unusual history. The engine and tranny are out of it. There is a video of the inauguration parade that shows a CJ-5 pulling a float at the 4:17 mark. http://www.criticalpast.com/video/65675034028_John-F-Kennedy%E2%80%99s-Inaugural-Parade_fireworks-in-the-sky_John-A-Volpe . There is a reference to them at the G503, too: http://g503.com/forums///////viewtopic.php?f=19&t=162217“Click here for ADDITIONAL PHOTOS
“This is a 1961 Willys CJ-5 with some history. Snow was predicted for the 1961 JFK inaugural parade and 2 Jeeps were commissioned to lead the parade and plow if necessary. This is one of the two Willys outfitted with snow plows that led the parade in Philadelphia (plaque on dash). I’m told the paint color was chosen to match Air Force One. After the parade the Jeeps were donated to a Philadelphia school. When they had served their purpose a school employee purchased this Jeep, and we bought it from the next owner who bought it from the school employee. You may have noticed the engine and drive train have been removed; this was the start of a restoration project that never went any further. Items that go with the Willys are: original drive train and engine, extra engine, PTO driven winch, snow plow and all other pertinent items for reassembly.
The dash plaque reads: THIS Jeep VEHICLE WAS AN OFFICIAL UNIT IN THE INAUGURAL PARADE HONORING THE 35TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY JANUARY 20, 1961”
