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 .
“1983 AM General DJ5, Iron Duke 4cyl. New wheels and tires. Right hand drive. Runs and drives great. Not perfect but fun little jeep. Draws lots of attention. Possible trade for motorcycle, interesting vehicles.”
Looks solid, but has a tranny problem. Previous seller may have “saw-dusted” the tranny. I didn’t know people still did that!
“Putting my Jeep DJ-5 up for sale. Purchased it in the beginning of the summer intending on making it into a cool company vehicle but due to a new job I don’t have the time.
-The Jeep has a Clean NYS title.
-The title reads a 4cyl but there is an inline 6 in it so the motor was swapped at one point in time.
-Automatic.
-The Jeep is 2 Wheel Drive
-Body is pretty solid. Few little rust spots but nothing major. Floor pans are all clean.
-Doors, tailgate and hood work as they should.
-Jeep starts right up motor runs great
The bad…. When I purchased the Jeep I drove it up onto the trailer no problems. Got it home made one pass up the road (have a video to show you if desired) then loss all power in the drive gears. After pulling the pan on the transmission looks like the previous owner put saw dust into the transmission to sell it. After flushing it a few times all I get is a little push in drive but then just spins. Reverse takes off like a bat out of hell though so it can be driven onto a trailer.
Transmission is pulled out of the Jeep to be either rebuilt or replaced with something else. ”

“For sale 1981 Postal jeep. Iron Duke motor that runs great. Newer paint job with new lights. All interior switches work along with light on top and interior fan. Added a passenger seat among other things added. Dixie air horn mounted but not yet hooked into battery. Automatic right hand drive, great little truck. Not sure on Mileage because the Odometer has flipped and it is a postal Jeep which the Gov. probably ran it like crazy but you can tell they maintained it. ”
“1977 right hand drive ( RHD ) fiberglass body mail jeep. Has 4 cylinder ford 2.3l with 2bbl carb, automatic transmission, posi rear end. Windshield is cracked. Custom pink camo interior trim, black bedliner on the floor.

UPDATE: Pete shared pics of his almost free DJ-5 he found off of eWillys. Looks like he got a great deal. You just never know on that free stuff! Many thanks to Jackie for letting it go so cheaply.
ORIGINAL POST: “I have to remove unregistered 1975 DJ-5 with no license plates from my property by Nov. 5, 2015 or be fined by my city. Today is Oct. 29. (I never knew there was such a requirement.) This vehicle was once registered to me and was running, but has not been started in years. There is some rust, but does not look nearly as bad as some pictures I have seen for sale. I have lost the registration card as well as title. I live in NJ. I do not want to call the junkman to take it away. My question is: would you know anyone who would want this jeep and could take it before November 5? Getting the title could take some weeks, but I have to remove vehicle before Nov. 5. If someone wants to own it,I would have to have the price of getting the title, (which I believe is $60 inNew Jersey) plus any money they might care to offer.
(10/17/2015) “Right hand drive postal Jeep these little jeeps are a lot of fun to own and work on this one is complete but hasn’t run in a few years engine is not locked up great price as a parts vehicle where get this cool little Jeep back on the road”
