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: Well, I have to express a big mea culpa on this one. Ed has pointed out that this has a later model body, which could mean the miles are off as well. See Ed’s comment for more info. Thanks Ed!

Well … not cherry exactly. This ’58 has been rebodied with a ’72-’75 tub — look carefully at the script on the cowl. CJ5’s from 55-71 had “JEEP” on the cowl, the ’72 and later had “Jeep”. Post ’72 tubs have different locations for the front body mounts, too, so it would be interesting to have a look at the floor and frame. As to the mileage, hard to say, especially if the speedo was changed along with tub. Pics here don’t reveal if an early or late speedo is in the dash.
This CJ5 also has a later tailgate.
As for the price …. this Jeep was advertised in the Bargain News in CT for $2000 a couple of weeks back. Looks like the new owner is trying for a fast flip for a nice fat profit.
HI Ed,
Thanks for those points. I guess I was swayed by the gloss on this one (should have put on my sun glasses) and didn’t dive deep enough into the details. No matter how much I learn, I still need to learn more :-)!!
