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 .
The body work on this appears well done. It’s got some non-jeep rims on it. I’m wondering if those front rims have been enlarged so that the rims would fit over the hubs.

“Willys cj5 runs and drive’s. Barn find restored a few years ago and stored since. Previously sitting since 1970. No body filler, had panels cut out and replaced. Transferable registration”
I have a couple of wheels identical to those that came on my ‘56 cj5. They are 15”, and have the correct center bore size to fit over the front hub. I haven’t removed a tire yet, but it appears the outside flange to to flange is 6 1/2” giving it a 5 1/2 “ space between the flanges. And, they have those same odd little raised areas between the lug holes on the center disc, with the one lug hole lining up with the valve stem like some military ones I’ve seen. My Jeep came with 5 wheels, but only these two match. Could they be IH wheels ? Someday I’ll put together a matching set, but for now they work fine.
Possibly 1970’s Ford truck rims, the 4 wheel drive Ford F150’s, have the same bolt pattern and center hub hole as the early CJ’s.
Thanks guys. I saw the back rims and they looked identical to the front ones, plus I could only remember seeing these rims with the small hole.
