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 .
It’s been used, but it generally looks pretty stock and solid. Its also sports a vintage PTO winch and some Cutlas Power Lock hubs.

“This CJ is ready for hunting,fishing,or just cruising the back roads”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $35,000
(02/04/2021) Mike spotted this CJ-5 with a myriad of updates. I don’t recognize the top; I’m wonder if it has been customized with extra large windows?
“I have owned this very unique 1955 Jeep for the past 40 years. It is very nice to look at, but it has been built to be used! You will never find another Jeep like this one. Load up your gear and you are ready to wheel.
Features include: Rebuilt 1976 Chevy 350 engine that was blue printed/balanced, RV cam, Rochester Quadrajet 4 barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performance Intake Manifold, Hooker Headers, and Flowmaster mufflers.
It has dual Yellow top Optima batteries, power steering, power-assist brakes, Chevy SM420 4 speed transmission, 5:38 gears, T-18 transfer case, Saturn overdrive, Model 30 front differential with a ARB locker and disc brakes, Model 44 rear end with a Detroit Locker and full floater Dutchman axels. Also a MicroLock emergency brake, York air compressor, 12,000 Mega Wench, and custom black/green Imeron paint with gold striping.”
This runs and drives. That front bumper sure is mangled. This has the early KS 0-10 Speedometer.

“1955 Willys CJ5 Runs and drives, all the lights work. Perfect candidate for restoration. $3,000 OBO would consider trade”
Can’t say that I’ve ever heard of a “Willy X Jeep”? Looks like a plain old CJ-5 to me.

“This is the nicest and most original 1960 Willy X Jeep you will find under $25,000. 6592 original miles. In 2012 @ 2346 miles a complete rebuild was performed on the entire vehicle, costing $11,000. ALL receipts for the rebuild on hand as well as original jeep documents. Everything on the Jeep works as it should. One light switch knob handle is broken. Little to NO rust, tires are in great condition, 4WD works as it should. It is a one of a kind Jeep. You would have to pay $25,000 to come anywhere close to the quality and collector value of this jeep. This is not a Jeep to slap big wheels on and go mudding. It’s just a pleasure to own this piece of history. I have enjoyed owning this Jeep but as with its second owner, it is hard on my back. I am the 4th owner. You could take this Jeep to a show as it is.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. It sold for $23,800.
Mike shared this nice looking Tux Park.
“If this was a 24k mile “1965 any car you can imagine” , it would be rare, Now considering that it is a rare 1965 Tuxedo park, its even more rare !!! Selling a super rare , 24k original documented mile, rust free, fully restored classic that is perfect for driving or investment purposes. The story of how Jeep debuted the Tuxedo Park model to lure a higher end customer into buying a Jeep product makes for a great story to tell, There is no better way to tell that story than to have one of these fully restored examples right in front of you, ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $19,990.
(12/11/2020) This is certainly unusual build.
“f Jeep would have started building these in the 70s, they would have never had financial issues. Look at this rare piece.The Jeep was built using all CJ5 parts. The front door is modeled off of a CJ7. The rear door is modeled off of a CJ5.
The bed is extended to the length of a CJ6 or CJ8 Scrambler. The frame is stretched 36 inches in the middle and 14 inches behind the rear axle. The frame was boxed from the front to the rear spring perches. It has Dana 30 and Dana 44 axles (both are open diffs). The transfer case is a Dana 20. The transmission is a 3 speed. I believe it is a T150.
The engine is an AMC 360 from a 1972 Wagoneer. It was rebuilt about 20,000 miles ago. It was bored over. The crank was turned. It got all new bearings, new pistons, new valve guides, and hardened seats. It has an RV cam, an Edelbrock SP2P low rise dual plane intake, and a Holley Street Avenger 570cfm double pumper carb. Skip White electronic ignition/distributor. Warn 8274 Winch. Heavy duty steel front fenders. (Matching Rescue Green CJ5 OEM fenders also included.) Rear corner guards. The motor has more than enough power for a vehicle this size.
Lots of upgrades on this original appearing first-year CJ-5.

“It was completely restored, but it hasn’t been driven in some time. body is in good condition, but pain need some work.”
If the body is solid this is worth a look.
