eBay Search

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.

Buying Tips

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 .

1959 CJ-5 West Chester, PA SOLD

March 24, 2011 • CATEGORIES: CJ5 • TAGS: Nice, Stock. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500

“1959 Willys CJ5 Civilian Jeep 3 spd 4WD in excellent condition, with 19,496 orig miles. I have owned this jeep since 1980. In 1982, I restored and painted the body and installed a new clutch, pressure plate, and a throw out bearing. Given the low mileage, all the mechanicals were in excellent condition and still are. A few years ago the exhaust manifold was replaced. For the past 30 years the jeep has been on my farm and just used there occasionally. I purchased the vehicle with a 60 inch snow plow, although was not used to plow snow. It has military tires, as seen in the pictures, as well as a spare (not in the picture.) Three extra new military tires and the snow plow will be included. This jeep has been carefully maintained and stored in a clean, climate controlled shop.’

1974 CJ-5 Frame with a Boat Body Bronx, Ny eBay

March 21, 2011 • CATEGORIES: CJ5, Features, Unusual This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

HOG forwarded this. Who thinks up these things? What’s the thought process like? Well, I have this jeep and I have this boat … what to do, what do …. maybe I should install the boat on the jeep frame, but not make it able to float. Brilliant! Whoever did it gets a point for daring to do something really different.

“Who doesn’t want a 4wd JEEP powered 17′ Stick shift Galaxy boat! I wish I had the time to put this thing back on the road myself, but my lack of time and loss of storage is your gain! What I have for sale here is a 1974 Jeep CJ5 with the body cut off and a Galaxy 17′ boat hull attached!

It has been in storage since the early 1980’s. It was really well done! No it’s not amphibious but it is fun and you know there will not be another one at the drive thru or out on the trail! It ran and drove when it was put away but needs some work to go back on the road now. The 258ci strait six Jeep motor turns free and the manual transmission feels ok. The brakes need to be gone thru totally, the master cylinder is missing but is a stock jeep piece and can be bought at any auto parts store, all of the mechanical parts are actually readily available because they are jeep.

Its a fiberglass 17′ Galaxy hull that can be painted or polished back to a shine! I flat towed it from where it was so I know everything spins and turns. Unfortunately THERE IS NO TITLE OR PAPERWORK for it so it will be sold with just a bill of sale for the Jeep vin number. This is 100% as is no warrantee no guarentee!”
