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 .

“Up for sale is a 1960 ish jeep Cj6 solid frame and body. Needs alittle motor work and should run again like it did when it got Parked. This is a for sure survivor!! Project , woods buggy or for a collector to restore”
“1962 CJ5 with 4 cylinder F-Head. It has been in a storage building for the last 10-15 years. I have a 1963 just like it and I had originally planned on restoring this one to have two matching ones. Unfortunately I don’t see that ever happening with all my other hobbies I have. It really needs to have a brand new tub from 4wd.com put on it. Frame isnt too bad for the year. It does run. It does have a plow. Needs restoration, so no tire-kickers”
“A little known fact is that most United States wheeled vehicles were designed to stack with only limited modification”?
Was this an actual design goal or a nice to have? Maybe this assertion is true, but I have only see a few examples of stacked jeeps. I can’t imagine the front clip of the Jeep underneath could handle extended shipping in this manner (which, by extension, suggests to me that it was never really ‘designed’ to do this).
“The size of the jeep was dictated by the railroad cars that would carry it”? Again, this design aspect is news to me. My understanding is that the design was a carryover from the Bantam design, which was a carryover from the Bantam vehicle size. The short wheelbase was excellent for a light weight design and maneuvarability.
“The mass of the jeep was dictated by the ability to stack up to four high”?
Again, I am unfamiliar with this claim.
“Nearly every part of a jeep is catalog ordered…. The basic army Jeep was the same from start too finish”?
I guess the term “same” would need to be defined, as the basic WWII jeep went through mini alterations over its life.
“Post WW2 when there was a massive shortfall in available farm equipment, there was a period of around seven years when Jeeps were pressed into service as farm equipment.”?
ummm … they were designed, tested, and marketed as farm vehicles starting during war time.

Frank is selling his 1965 CJ-5. Note the handy 120 volt power outlet bank. You can contact him directly at fsjr64 @ gmail.com (remove the spaces around the @)
“I am the third owner of this jeep. The jeep has a clear CA title. The jeep has a unique feature with the addition of a 120 volt power outlet bank run by a fan belt driven dedicated generator mounted above the regular 12 volt generator. The jeep runs well, the brakes master and wheel cylinders, brake shoes and brake lines have been replaced. The steering box has been rebuilt. The tires are weather checked but have good tread. Under dash instruments have been added and it has a CB radio installed by a previous owner. Body is in good shape and it has an older vinyl top with doors, but the rear door window/panel has shrunk, but still works with gaps between the rear of the sides zippers but attaches to the footman loop on the tailgate.”
