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: Price dropped to $2500

The earlycj5.com site recently published some great brochures about a CJ-5 truck called the overlander which was available in Australia. Check it out! (Thanks Dan).

Titled as “1964 WILLYS JEEP CJ-B3″ BUILT FROM FRAME UP!! All listed items, (excluding engine) have appx. 4,000 miles of use. Engine: Rebuilt 1985 CHEVY 350 V8 4-bolt main w/ 30,000 current miles….”
While looking for a clean example of the Willys Overland script, I came across an auto-created page, a page of complete jibberish that attempts to make the owner money by getting hits and advertising google and craigslist ads (therefore, I won’t provide a link). However, on this same page I found this odd CJ-5. It looks like the picture is somewhere in southern Utah. Anyone seen this elsewhere?
UPDATE: I don’t know if this sold or not.
Here’s a very nicely restored CJ-5 just up the road from me.
“Body off restoration, epoxy primered all parts, 5 coats urethane paint (Omaha Orange). All excellent. When I purchased this vehicle it had 32k miles on it. It now shows 117 miles due to new Speedo cluster. Many new parts: New radiator, water pump, hoses and belts. Fuel system, charging system. Hi torque starter. New clutch, rebuilt transmission and T case with new emergency brake assembly and cable. T case, Tranny and axles filled with synthetic 70-90 gear lube. Complete exhaust system. (5) Toyo tires mounted on chrome wheels. New tinted windshield with 2 electric wipers. Engine is original (F134) and runs excellent. The body is original, and rust free. The following items are currently not installed on vehicle; Heater (needs new core, have all sheet metal parts but needs 3 new cable controls). Horn (haven’t been able to locate a stock horn). Wiring and relay are installed. 2 Doors and hardware (I have and go with vehicle.)” Many extra spare parts in boxes go with vehicle. This is a great driving/reliable jeep with original engine, transmission, T- case, axles, suspension and gearing.
This might be a good price.
“CJ-5, L-135 motor. Body, frame, and running gear all good. Plywood cover and doors. Clutch frozen. Needs brake lines, exhaust system and wiring for some of the lights. Exhaust manifold has a hole in it. Good restoration project. email mylisting1@hotmail.com”

Brett spotted this great find. If you are looking for a CJ-5 to use as a platform for a flattie, here’s a great price on one. The body looks in poor condition.
