About eWillys
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.
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 are some slides with jeeps currently for sale on eBay. The first one is an unusual tour jeep that I hadn’t seen previously. It’s somewhere at least semi-tropical, based on the upper right tree.
Matt’s selling this stock CJ-5. He wanted to give eWillys’ readers a first shot at it (thanks Matt!). This is sold with a bill of sale only, though it does have a serial number.
“Up for sale is my 1964 CJ5. This is a very original CJ5 that still wears its original president red paint. Odometer reads 2,900 miles. This Jeep came from the family of its original owner who used it as a runabout on his farm. It does not currently run but everything is there and it should run with a bit of work. I did open up the transmission to make sure everything was okay and it was like new inside. I believe it was parked in the 80s. Unfortunately it was parked in a damp part of the barn so the tub has a decent amount of rust. Front floors are completely rotted out including the toolbox floor. Rear floor and wheel wells have a few bad spots but are usable.
The rest of the jeep is in pretty good shape and the front fenders, hood, grille and windshield are very nice. Tailgate is nice too and still has the original 4 wheel drive stencil on it. Frame looks to be solid with just a little rot in the rear crossmember/bumper. 60/40 bench seat with original fabric. Tailgate chain covers are still intact. Really a time capsule of a CJ5. Nothing has been cut up or modified. This Jeep is perfect for someone who loves patina/original paint survivors and is willing to go through it mechanically, put some new front floors in it and enjoy it just the way it is. That was my plan but I just don’t have the time. Asking $4500. Sold with a bill of sale only. It does have a serial number. Located in Connecticut. Thank you”
This has potential. The stock hardtop and Koenig (?) bed extension look in good shape. The 0-8 King Seeley speedometer still has its needle, too.
“Family has decided to sale Grandpa’s Jeep CJ5.Was running when parked in the shed. I put a wrench on the crank and it rolls over easy. $3000 or best offer.”
“Just a clean old Jeep with a ton of new parts. Here are a few of the bigger ones.
Rebuilt T14 transmission and transfer case
Front disc brake upgrade
4 new 31×10.50 tires
New fuel tank and fuel lines
New wiring harness
New master cylinder and rear brakes
New wiper motor and windshield
And the list goes on!!”
John shared this CJ-5 with a Meyer-style half cab, a plow, and no paperwork. This one lacks the battery box lid (making it a 64 or later), but has a WILLYS tailgate (which was halted for 1963 models). My guess is that this is a mid-1960s CJ-5 to which someone added an older or replacement tailgate.
“1955 to 1971 Civilian Jeep CJ5 4×4 For Sale!
No Paperwork, Bill of Sale Only. Frame & suspension in good condition. Brand new brakes, brake line, wheel cylinders, wheel bearings, and shocks. Body in fair condition. Cab and doors excellent condition. Power angle plow 100% functional. Re-Built carburetor. Motor and clutch strong runner”
“No title, can provide bill of sale. Antique compact jeep with working snow plow. My dad had it running but it needs some work, there is either a timing or distributor issue. Has a brand new carburetor, new tires, and new battery. No key ”
“1963 Jeep CJ5 old plow jeep. Runs and drives but has zero brakes. PA paperwork in hand. Rare Ramsey dual Outlet PTO for front and rear winches or Farm implements. Power take off does work. Jeep gas tank rotted out a few years ago. Is running off of a small tractor gas tank under the hood. Does need lots of metal work as there’s not much floor left. Frame seems solid. Plow works good.”
“1957 Jeep Willy’s needs to be finished, it has a Buick V-6 mated to an automatic transmission, I bought this project to get running but decided to pass it on to the next owner. Currently on Non-opp and I have the clean CA. Title in hand. Asking $2,000. I will consider trade and possibly add some cash if you have a pre smog running short bed Chevy or GMC truck. If add is up, it’s available so please don’t ask”
Blaine shared this CJ-5, noting the hardtop looked unusual, which the rear of it does. After some research, I felt it is a Koenig Jiffy Cab 520 for the CJ-5 (see an Aug 1957 brochure here). This is the first time I’d noticed that the Jiffy Cab 520 had an unusually wide rear door with slim sides (not room for side windows in the back).
“The jeep is pretty-much untouched and original (except for the paint). Last year before AMC bought Jeep. It has the factory 3.7l Dauntless V6 motor, three-speed transmission and factory PTO winch. Split bench seat.
The motor is strong with as-new oil pressure. A prior owner put a 3.8l intake on it so it can use the Delco electronic ignition. Dual exhaust, as new. Transmission good as are the brakes. I hate antique cooling systems, so a new radiator and heater core. Headlight replacements should be in today (3rd), LEDs with glass faces.
The paint job was for protection since it came to the coast, mediocre base coat, clear coat. The hard top was bought when the Jeep was new. Neither roof or the body show rust, it came from Talent, very dry country. It has a mis-matched tire, and needs little jobs for it to be the daily driver.
This is an old Jeep, old school. No power steering, just a big steering wheel. No power brakes or cruise control. Early Jeeps are strong and reliable, but have little in common with modern Jeeps.
I am willing to consider trades, even non-vehicle, if the trade seems right, or $6k. I have varied interests.”
