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: **SOLD** Was No Price
Here’s a strange one.
“1978 Mail Jeep CJ-S
It’s cut down and lots of wood
232, 6-C Motor. Runs Good
Taking Offers”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
These are rare. Needs work though. Includes a Cherokee.
“Up for sale is a rare 1969 Jeep DJ6 (2 wheel drive). I just don’t have the time to restore it like I planned. Have some new wiring, a replacement steering column, and new tail lights. It has an early 80’s Chevy V6 and manual 3 speed trans. The motor ran good when I bought it, but have removed the wiring. I have a bikni top and rear panel with window that mounts to the roll bar, and some old soft doors. The body and floors have some rust but is mostly solid, I will also include a 1997 Cherokee that I was going to use to upgrade the axles and braking system on the old Jeep. It has seats that are in perfect condition that would have been used also. Please don’t ask to buy the Cherokee. It is not titled and will only be included as parts. If I connot sell the Dj I will need the Cherokee for parts. I will consider a trade for a tractor with a bushhog or box blade. This will make a very nice Jeep to run around in if you have the time to restore it, really wish I did”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
It runs and drives. The DJs run and are cheap. Will we ever see them become popular rebuilds? It wasn’t that long ago that flat fenders were cheap and ubiquitous.
“1976 mail jeep. runs and drives great. fun little play around vehicle and road legal. has a small leak from the transmission pan but just needs a new gasket just havent had time to fix it. askin 800 o.b.o. any questions text or call”
UPDATE: STatus Unknown. Was listed for $1000.
You don’t see many DJ-5 half cab trucks.
“2 Wheel Drive Mail Truck that has the potential to be an amazing tailgating ride or Sunday driver with a little bit of time. This is a project that needs new tires and will run with a little bit of elbow grease. Might be willing to trade for a pop-up camper or travel trailer. $1,000.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This might be a pretty rare jeep, since DJ-5s started being built in 1965. I can’t tell if it is all stock or not. The seller notes this has a 150cc motor. Now, it might feel like that jeep feels like it is powered by something that small, but I’m sure the engine is slightly bigger.
“1965 DJ 3A Kaiser/Willies Jeep
2wd 4 cilinder 3 speed manual
4 lugs wheels
150cc motor
Good engine, no smoke
Carburetor needs cleaning
Needs brake work
Solid body
$1500 Or Best CASH Offer.”
I didn’t realize how many DJ models came with the inline 6. Apparently, that’s the reason for the bumped out hood in front.
“1978 Jeep DJ5-F. This is a retired United States Postal service Jeep so it is right hand drive. Has inline 6 cylinder, Automatic Transmission, aftermarket cab heater, runs and drives (but will need tune-up and carburetor clean/rebuild) Will have to taken away on trailer due to running rough, expired tabs, no insurance and right turnsignal isn’t working. I bought this as a project vehicle but have not time to fix it up. I have put over $1000 in parts into the vehicle already. Has new tires, new wheels, new front shocks, newer battery and a new muffler just to mention the big purchases. Odometer only goes up to 99,999, therefor I have no idea how many miles it truly has. Any questions please contact me by call or text at 715-205-8068”

DJ-5 owners . . . take heart! Who says a mail jeep isn’t fast? This modified — ok highly modified — DJ-5 won the 2012 Organizer’s Choice Trophy at the 2012 24 Hours of LeMons Thunderhill in California.
UPDATE: **SOLD**. Was listed at $600.
It runs and I see no rust.
“Runs good
you may call
please no text messages or calls after 8pm”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Mark spotted this unusual DJ.
“Im selling my jeep. Has a 350sbc th350 trans. Needs t-case. Has chevy 12bolt rear and chevy 10 in front. Rear end has 488 gears front has 373s. Come out to a 26ish” lift. No title but has all org. Vin tags. I saved this one from the boneyard.custom built 6″ cowel hood. Roof rack.aluminium radiator org 258 straight 6. Org sliding doors new glass.”
This may be a rare DJ-6, though it’s had some work done to it.
“I’ve had this jeep for a few years and am moving back to the beach to a place without a garage to work on it. It’s a little rough around the edges but i drive it all over. It has very little rus for a a California jeep, the corners where the feet are and the front fenders are all that have rusted through spots. It is a factory 2 wheel drive but I have almost everything to make it a 4×4, has a Buick 231 v6 which a prior owner put in to replace the original 225 v6. I put on a new holly carb, 4″ lift, 33″ bgf km2s, all new steering joints, shocks, all new accessories, edelbrock intake, headers, glaspacks, had the turbo 350 auto transmission rebuilt, cv driveshaft, 8 point roll cage, fuel tank, fuel pump. It starts right up and drives reliably every time. On the down side, it could use a new motor, it has a little low compression on one cylinder and burns oil, the wiring is all funky but it works, the brakes start to fade with lots of use and the steering is loose. Some of this is due to 4 wheel drum brakes and an old, crazy way jeep did their steering back then. I’ll throw in a set of 3/4 ton gm axles (corporate 14 bolt, 10 bolt without brakes), extra driveshafts, 5 complete 12 bolt, 8 lug, 37″ HUMVEE wheels with good tires and 2 extra rims. I also have an extra transfer case if you want to run a left differential axle. I also have a tow bar and lights I’ll throw in if you want to tow it. With a little time and knowledge this will be a truly and awesome jeep. As it is I can’t go anywhere without people stopping me. As you can see I’ve got way more in to this than I’m asking. $4k is an awesome price for this project so I’m firm on the price. The only trades I will consider are for a 450+ street legal super moto, a beat up but rideable full size harley, or possible a 71 model chevy truck or blazer. This is a very rare jeep and finding a project like this that you can actually drive home in is even rarer.”
