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: Price dropped to $2800.

“1966 Jeep CJ5 Tuxedo Park. 350 Jeep Wagoneer engine (aka Buick) from 1970 Jeep Wagoneer in place of the original Jeep V6. (mileage unknown) Manual steering, drum brakes, 33×14.50×15 Mickey Thompson Tires. 3 speed transmission. New custom dual exhaust with vintage single chamber mufflers. Sounds great! Lots of receipts & new parts. Title in hand. Not currently tagged. Runs but has old gas from just sitting in the garage all the time & may need to be primed &/or temperamental. Comes with two hoods. The big hood has a couple small stress cracks seen up close. Comes with original removable soft doors & bikini top. Its very unique & its is quite a head turner. It is +56 years old and far from perfect. It is not a daily driver, its a piece of history. I am getting rid of it because I have lost interest. Cash or possible trade for other unique toys like Scout, Willys, Tractor, & ATV. I do not respond to “is this still available” & I do not respond to online offers. More details and pictures are available upon serious inquires.”
Will shared pics that show some of the differences between a Warn overdrive with a Husky overdrive. Regarding finding Husky parts, my best guess for parts would be Herm Tilford.
Will writes, “A little while back there was a discussion on the different overdrive units. There where several different units produced and maybe others but the ones I’ve seen are Warn, Dualmatic, Saturn, Husky and ATV overdrives that all looked similar. Saturn is a direct decedent of the Warn as Advance Adapters purchased the tooling from Warn to make the Saturn. I don’t know much about the Dualmatic or ATV except ATV is still produced as is Saturn.
Anyway I had mentioned that the Husky had a different angle to the planetary gears, Sun gear and bowl gear than Warn. These pictures show how the Warn had much more tooth angle than Husky and as such these parts do not interchange and Husky parts are near impossible to find.”
Brian spotted this nice looking, stock CJ-5.

“Very nice CJ5 4 cyl. 4wd. 3-spd. Have owned for more than 10 yrs and enjoyed by our family for summer time drives. Always stored indoors. Many improvements during ownership: new seals and fluid in front axle, fuel pump and hose assy, Firestone tires, exhaust manifold and muffler, leaf springs and shocks, battery, fan belt, etc. Heater works. Will not respond to “is it available”. This is a great vehicle to enjoy. if you are interested pls contact for more information.”
UPDATE: This was first posted in August of 2016.
This September 13, 1958, article from the Toledo Blade told the story of four italians who drove what appears to be a WWII jeep a distance of 80,000 miles from Italy to Toledo. The men, all newspapermen, planned to drive another 15,000 miles back to Italy. What a trip! I wonder if their counterparts in 2013 knew of their countrymen’s adventure?
This shouldn’t last long.
