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: Rudolf sent some additional pics of this rig. Steve gives a good analysis within the comments section.
Rudolf forwarded me this unusual CJ-?A/MB wagon. Rudolf reports that this is titled a 1944 and was used for public transit in Bali. Given the full floating rear end, the rearend might have been from a MB. It reminded me of another vehicle with a similar wood rear end that is located in France (see the red image below).
From France (CJ-3B Page, Offroadaction.ca)
UPDATE: Still Available
I hope someone can buy and properly restore Les’ Jeep (assuming the documentation confirms it was his jeep). For those that don’t know, Les Schwab bought a tire store in Prineville in 1952 that has become a 330+ store chain here in the west (company history). Not bad for a guy who became an orphan at the age of 15. I didn’t know him, but everything I’ve heard suggests he was a man of his word. According to one reader, he was an early champion of the Formula Desert Dogs. Les passed away in the summer of 2007.
“This jeep was one of Les Schawb’s that he had on his ranch for over 30 years. I have all DMV documentation and current registration”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Best Offer.

This cj-5 is a little different.
“1957 willys jeep with plow new tires new paint looks and runs great”
HOG forwarded this. Who thinks up these things? What’s the thought process like? Well, I have this jeep and I have this boat … what to do, what do …. maybe I should install the boat on the jeep frame, but not make it able to float. Brilliant! Whoever did it gets a point for daring to do something really different.
“Who doesn’t want a 4wd JEEP powered 17′ Stick shift Galaxy boat! I wish I had the time to put this thing back on the road myself, but my lack of time and loss of storage is your gain! What I have for sale here is a 1974 Jeep CJ5 with the body cut off and a Galaxy 17′ boat hull attached!
It has been in storage since the early 1980’s. It was really well done! No it’s not amphibious but it is fun and you know there will not be another one at the drive thru or out on the trail! It ran and drove when it was put away but needs some work to go back on the road now. The 258ci strait six Jeep motor turns free and the manual transmission feels ok. The brakes need to be gone thru totally, the master cylinder is missing but is a stock jeep piece and can be bought at any auto parts store, all of the mechanical parts are actually readily available because they are jeep.
Its a fiberglass 17′ Galaxy hull that can be painted or polished back to a shine! I flat towed it from where it was so I know everything spins and turns. Unfortunately THERE IS NO TITLE OR PAPERWORK for it so it will be sold with just a bill of sale for the Jeep vin number. This is 100% as is no warrantee no guarentee!”
UPDATE: Brian’s selling his unique collection of jeeps. Among them is a CJ-6 Wrecker, a CJ-5 Trencher, CJ-5 Snow Blower and the first CJ-5 ever produced.
You are bidding on a massive collection of jeep vehicles, literature, memorabilia, dealer items, toys, and much more. This is the collection of Jeep restorer and enthusiast, Brian Hainer, of Brian’s 4wd Parts, LLC. This list of vehicles is as follows:
1946 CJ2A, original survivor with 7000 miles on it. Original top, chaff screen, rear seat. Even has original key and invoice from Willys/Overland. Has the patina of a 50+ year old vehicle and is one of the most original examples of a CJ2A in existence.
1962 CJ6 Garage Service Vehicle. This has been restored from the ground up and is flawless. Original Koenig Wrecker Boom, and Front winch. Twin Stick PTO powers the front winch, rear wrecker winch, and air compressor. Since the photos posted were taken I have made some top bows and sewn a full lenght bikini top for it. Made out of black canvas. I also added a Extend-a-Bed to this vehicle. There just isn’t any room back there to carry anything and I wasn’t planning on using the boom so I added the extension.
1977 Jeep CJ7. This satisfied my need to go fast every now and again. V8 304, 4.10 gears, …… This jeep is a perfect driver and restored with the same care as every vehicle that comes thru my shop.
1968 CJ5 Jeep-a-Trench. This is an unrestored CJ5 bought from the original owner a couple years ago. Everything is there and is a great example of a trencher. Runs and drives but smokes like crazy. Awaiting restoration.
196? CJ5 Snowblower Jeep. Not exactly sure of the year. This came from an airport and has 109 miles on it. Runs perfect, has the T-98 4 speed in it, but it is very rusty. Body will need replacing.
CJ5 10001 Cut Away Jeep Chassis . This jeep chassis is a cut away display model made by Willys. It has every option you could install on a jeep at the time and everything is cut open so you could see the operation of it. Front winch, governor, twin stick pto, rear gearbox, and right angle pulley. A true piece of history.
That about covers the vehicles. Also included in this sale is every piece of literature, memoriabilia, jeep toy, etc.. that I have collected over the past 30 years. If it is jeep related I probably have it…. bought out a lot of dealers and collected a lot of signs, and early salesmens books.
The Jeep Toy collection is an impressive one and includes #92 of the Fine Art Model of the ww2 MB. Fine art models got into a battle with Chrysler a while back over making these and it is very rare to ever see one for sale. You will receive #92 with this collection.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
I don’t see many of these for sale.
“1958 to 1963 Jipe DKW-Vemag Candango What you see is what you get. Fairly nice condition. Gauges will need to be replaced or rebuilt.One storage compartment door is missing, motor is missing and seats are missing. Has only surface rust, not rotted. Vehicle has sat on ranch for years. Has no title. I will sign any paperwork and bill of sale to assist in reregistering. ”
