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 .
“This jeep is in very good condition. It has been garaged for 20 years. It has a new rebuilt transmission with a new clutch. Re-wired through out and a re-built generator. It has the original engine. It needs minor work. IE brake leak fluid at the drums. The ignition key was lost and one of the transmission covers leaks gear oil.
It has gun racks and the back removable seat. This jeep has not ran for 20 years and will need some TLC.”
UPDATE: Has been on and off eBay a few times. Not sure if still for sale or not.

“1962 JEEP Forward Control 170 4-Wheel Drive Truck
This is a two owner vehicle, with the original owner being the Washington State Forest Service. The custom ordered a snorkel and air brakes when this vehicle was purchased new. It has the original wench in the front bumper along with the original 6 cylinder engine and 4 speed manual transmission. The engine turns over freely but I have not attempted to get it running. The body shows plenty of wear but is pretty straight for a 1962 work horse. The bed has surface rust but is very solid and not rusted thru anywhere on the bed. The drivers side running board is in the bed of the truck. There is a dent in each front bottom corner of cab as you can see in photos. Other than that it’s just typical wear and tear. scratches bumps and bruises. Continue reading →

“Regretfully selling my beloved 1959 Willys Jeep CJ5. This Jeep has been 100% disassembled and restored to original condition. All steel body with absolutely no rust whatsoever. Frame was sandblasted and painted with POR-15, and every detail has been taken care of.
Here is all the information…
THE GOOD
Fully restored 100%
All steel body. Painted in President Red (the original color) using base coat/clear coat and hand polished to a mirror shine
Original engine and drive train — F-head 4 cyl engine with 3 speed manual transmission, 4 wheel drive with high/low range
Beautifully upholstered seats matching the original style, color, and stitching
Kept as original as possible down to the vacuum wiper motor (passenger wiper is manual)
5 brand new radial tires
Completely rewired using reproduction original style wiring harness
Everything mechanical has been gone through and rebuilt or replaced
Draws a crowd at car shows and parking lots
Seat belts were added, although not required by law.
Kept it as original as I could. The only modernization or customization I did was the use of stainless hardware for appearance, radial tires, and Petronix electronic ignition conversion.
Extensive research went into making this as original as possible. Research revealed the correct color of the paint, the windshield frame (semi-gloss black), the upholstery, and even the headlight buckets. Every possible attempt was made to make this as perfect an example of an original 1959 Willys CJ5 as humanly possible. Continue reading →
Looks great. I believe it should have a hood gutter.
“One of a kind. 2nd owner. Complete restoration 4 years ago. All original numbers matching. Outstanding condition.

The seller never included “CJ-3B/CJ3B” in the ad. It’s been on Craigslist for over a week.
