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 .
Here’s another example of a CJ-5 grafted onto the rear of a CJ-2A. Unclear how much value is here.

“No paperwork, hasn’t run in years.. been in the family a long time. Would Make a nice project. Needs lots of work”
Chris spotted this nice looking CJ-5. If that is the original body, it sure is in good shape.

“1957 Willys Jeep CJ5 4×4. Motor F-154 Hurricane. 3 Speed Manual. Good condition. Price is firm. Title in hand. Ad will be taken down when sold. No holds. First come, first serve.”
This package also includes a second backhoe unit. Thanks to Andy for sharing it.

“Do you want a Jeep? Do you want a backhoe? Do you want both? Do you dig car shows? Really Dig car shows?? Then you need this: A mid 60s Go For Digger factory backhoe built on a Jeep frame and body. The factory was in Toledo and continues today with a small self propelled backhoe made in West Virginia. These units were used by utility companies and municipalities and few survive today. The gentleman from whom I purchased used it for a water line business for 40 years until he retired in 2020.. The upshot is, this a fully functional, working machine, not barn find project. While it may not be pretty, you can get real work done with this. The original body rusted away and was replaced with the beauty you see here at some point long ago. F head motor. I did pull the head and had valves ground and new seals put in. This price Includes half a truck load of extra parts (most new) such as radiator, cylinders, valves, hoses, clutch, etc. Also includes a complete backhoe assembly which I found a year ago. Includes bill of sale. Cash. No trades. No Venmo. No Cash app. Thank you. Other stuff: Low geared rear end with top speed maybe 20 or so. I also have a handheld hydraulic breaker for this which I’ve never used.”
It runs, but lacks a title. It could be a good parts jeep.

“1957 Jeep Willys Runs needs restoration  No title Bill of sale only located in Glenville ”
Bill shard the victim of a fire. Not much value, though it has a Salvage title and some Warn hubs. Maybe someone needs those items?

Blaine shared this nice looking CJ-5. Is that the Arena Yellow color from the 1956 color chart?

“Restored 1956 Willys jeep. this jeep is original as the day it was built. It has been in the family since new, was my grandfathers, I am retiring and need to downsize. The restoration was completed in 2008 and has about 500 miles.”
Originally white, this CJ-5 looks solid.
“This is a very nice 1962 Willys CJ5. Runs great, motor has been checked over and new rod and main bearings have been installed.
Steering box was rebuilt. Clutch is good, brakes are good. Body is in very good condition with just one small patch on the passenger side floor over a support channel (support channel has approx 3-4″ of rust). Interior of the tool box has some surface rust, no rust through. No frame issues.
Looks like original condition other than it was painted red over the original white, no modifications. Seats are in good condition, probably recovered in the past, no tears. New glove box insert. This would be an easy restoration or have fun with it as is.”
This might be worth a look depending on what “TLC” is needed. It sound like it might not be running. It has some early Free-Lock hubs.

“1963 Jeep Willys CJ5 with Koenig1/2 cab. Jeep will run. Needs some TLC. Fun little jeep.”

“1961 CJ5 100% original CA barn find survivor. Aftermarket factory installed hard top has never been removed. All windows and glass good and functioning. Everything works. Owner told me the Jeep had a re-spray in the 70’s but you can’t tell because it’s faded and the patina. Paint will shine with a buff and wax but I don’t like my cars like that. Took this in on partial trade as part of my collection but do not need it. It came with a Jeepster and some other parts I needed. Unmolested and uncut. No modifications. Original factory installed side steps. Drive as is or lift it. Head turner everywhere I park it. Brand new industrial battery. Brand new tires. Dropping off Monday (7/10) at carburetor shop to rebuild it, so it runs perfect. It has a little dead spot that I don’t like. No leaks. Engine bay is perfect. Zero rust. Original rubber floor mat. Push button starter. 4WD, locking hubs and transfer case all working. 12 volt vintage glass dome light installed but nothing cut or drill”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $13,000.
(06/272023) Seller wants to sell as a lot. Only the 3 2as and 1 CJ-5 are pictured (unless the pics confused me).

(07/15/2023) Nick’s selling this early CJ-5 trencher project.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/656189109866141
“This is a first model year 1955 CJ5 serial #13845. It has an original Auburn Jeep-A-Trench and the rare factory T98 4-speed transmission with granny low gear.
This style trencher is the gear-draulic which uses a hydraulic pump to raise and lower the unit. A driveshaft will slowly drive the Jeep while it trenches.
I’m told this last ran approximately 10 years ago. Engine spins over, but has low compression of 25-35 psi. Rings likely need soaked. I pulled the intake valve cover off and it looked clean.
Unsure of trencher condition itself, but check out Turn N Burn on YouTube where another trencher was brought back to life without much work.
Frame has patches as most trencher Jeeps do. Aside from the left rear corner dent, body is pretty decent for its age.
No title. Firm on price.
This appears worth a look given the price.

“This is a 1960 jeep cj5 willys , super cool little jeep it runs and stops does have a little rust and drips a little oil but you could build it up from here and make it perfect if you want or drive it like this . The motor does smoke a little and the tranny does wine”
