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.
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 $3200.
This has government plates, so might be a true CJ-5 Army jeep!
“Real deal surplus jeep, running gear good(only 56,000 miles) , drive/hunt with it as is or restore.”
The CJ-5 was never used in direct combat, it was just used by a NAF employee.
Of course, this was probably parked on a base more than anything else. But, that could be true of many of the surviving MBs/GPWs/M-38s/M-38A1s.
As for the CJ-5 was never in combat, I suspect that is probably not true. I think it is more accurate to say that the United States Military did not purchase the CJ-5 for use in combat. However, the military did test the CJ-5 between 1975-1976, along with other 4x4s. Meanwhile, the CJ-5 was fought with in Africa: http://cj3b.info/Finds/FindsCongo.html. Whether those were American-made or a jeep-licensed manufacturer isn’t clear.
