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: Still Available.

(03/23/2018) “Original 1955 Willys CJ-5 in great condition. This Jeep runs like a dream! Brand new T-90 transmission was installed less than two months ago, and the Jeep shifts beautifully. Original speedometer/odometer still works and is a very rare piece. Brand new Smittybilt seats and a brand new exhaust system installed less than two months ago.”
That is such a beautiful foundation to start from
Cool top and looks good. Can’t remember where I saw one like this, maybe the DJ series had them?
The DJ series did have the fastback style tops. One (or more?) of the soft top makers also made a fastback top (like the one above). There were at least two different aftermarket designs.
Looks good and is “closeish” to me. Only red flag I see is what appears to be the $30 flip up fishing boat seats?

Tony, I’m not a huge fan of those seats either. But, seats are something fairly easily replaced.
I wonder if anyone has seen this one on the market?
Hi Erik,
I haven’t seen this relisted lately. If it does reappear, I’ll drop you an email. In the meantime, here’s a list of alternative CJ-5s in the area: https://knoxville.craigslist.org/search/cto?query=cj5%7C%22cj-5%22
Hi David,
I currently have the Jeep posted on Willysforsale.com
I have other photos and videos of the Jeep running and driving as well.
Please let me if you have any other questions
Thanks Tyler. I’ll update the post and bump it to the front page for Friday morning.
Nice Jeep but if original, shouldn’t 55 have front shackle reversal and Willys tailgate?? I had a 55 and it was a great little Jeep
What size tires are you running on the Jeep? I have restored My 69 to original and recently purchased stock smoothies.
