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 .

Dave’s selling this 1961 CJ-5. I did ask about the later body mounted on the chassis and he said that’s the way he bought it. If you have questions, email him a swordbearer347 @ gmail.com (remove spaces from around the @).
“For sale is my 1961 CJ5 Jeep, which I have owned for the last eleven years of its life. If you’ve ever wanted to own one of Jeep’s great CJ5 models that is in excellent mechanical condition, here’s your chance. This Jeep is perfect for trail “Jeeping,” hunting or just to drive around town (which is what I’ve done with this Jeep – I’ve had it off pavement only a few times – flawless performance.) This CJ5 will serve a new owner well and give years of enjoyment. Every system on this Jeep has been rebuilt or reconditioned, most within the past four years. The body, which is in good condition, has not been touched but everything else has.
This particular CJ5 has the Jeep Hurricane 225 cubic inch V6 under the hood; more than enough motor to provide all the power needed. It also has a PTO winch and an overdrive. The V6 engine coupled with the Warn overdrive gives this Jeep more speed than the original engine/gear setup and more than enough for almost anyone!
Here’s a list of mechanical work that has been accomplished since I’ve owned this Jeep.
• BF Goodrich K02 Tires mounted.
• Carburetor overhauled
• Complete suspension rebuild; including Rancho shocks, new leaf springs, shackles, U-bolts & bushings.
• Emergency brake completely rebuilt
• Engine tuned
• Transmission and transfer case removed & rebuilt
• New heavy duty clutch and throw out bearing installed
• New rebuilt Warn overdrive installed
• PTO winch installed/mounted
• Heater system removed/reinstalled with new parts; tested & works as designed
• New & proper clutch linkage & bell crank installed
• New oil pressure, voltage and engine temp gauges installed
• Complete brake rebuild to include new master cylinder and wheel cylinders
• New front wheel bearings and races installed
• Front steering knuckles serviced
• New brake and clutch pedals seals & springs installed
• Battery & cables replaced
• Alternator replaced
• Gear boxes serviced
There could be more, but this is what I have invoices for and what I can remember. Almost all the work has been done by a very reputable Vintage Jeep rebuild/repair/restoration shop in LaPorte, Colorado. This used vehicle is in good condition, but is sold “as is.” No warranty expressed or implied.”
Bill shared this stock CJ-5 with original paint. It’s hard to believe it’s got 75k miles.

“Selling a 1973 Jeep CJ-5, very original including paint, excellent body and frame, Jeep is from Alabama, smooth running 232 inline 6, 3-speed, 4 wheel drive, manual lock-outs, gun rack, runs and drives great, 75,440 miles, clean and clear title in my name in hand.”
This jeep lived its unused-life in a heated garage. This jeep only has 1500 miles and that’s believable given the condition shown in the pics. Thanks to John for sharing this one.

“Purchased new by Rhode Island-based Scarpetti Oldsmobile for exclusive use as a snowplow, a letter from dealership owner Edward Scarpetti indicates that the odometer’s current claim of around 1,500 miles since new is to be absolutely believed.
A lifetime of storage inside a heated garage—except during snowfall—is evident in the exceptional original condition of the well-preserved paint and overall patination. Both the dealership’s hand-lettering and white-wall off-road tires are believed to be original as well, alongside the rarely preserved metal hardtop from Koenig Iron Works of Houston, Texas. The white model 520 “Jiffy Full Cab” top features removable doors and a built-in, high-powered backup light for plow duty, and presents a delightful contrast to the Jeep’s bright President Red paint.
Other than the removable hardtop and a period-correct, dash-mounted Oldsmobile badge from the late 1950s, this CJ -5 is unmodified and features its original 2.2-liter (134 ci) powertrain. CJs were roundly the most capable factory off-roaders of the 20th century, and this CJ-5 is no different with its two-speed 4×4 transfer case and locking front hubs, all backed by the original three-speed manual transmission—more than enough hardware to tackle any early CJ rally or enter sympathetic service as a ranch shuttle.”
UPDATE: Still Available. Here’s some additional information on the lengths of the jeep and trail.
Jeep is 18′
Trailer is 14′
Plus 5′ for the trailer tongue.
Grand total of 37′ long
(07/18/2024) Scott’s selling this unique combo nicknamed “Long Jeep”. The CJ-5 is stretched and includes a trailer for ferrying additional people. Email Scott at scottingrum @ reagan.com (remove spaces around the @) or via his cell at 217 712 0097
“Operation Long Jeep is for sale. It is a 1958 CJ5 stretched with matching Jeep-themed trailer for moving people. The 4 cyl F head runs great. The 4WD works great and there are dual rear wheels. It includes a the framing to install a canvas top on the jeep, but no canvas top is included.”
There’s been a lot of work done on this. Seems like a pretty good price.

Gary shared this low-mile CJ-5, which rings in at 6,619 miles (assuming it hasn’t been run backwards). Given the overall condition, it seems probable that the mileage is accurate, though I’m surprised at the mods given its short work life.

“1969 Jeep CJ5 with 8000 original miles. Was used as farm implement. No issues. I do have the title”
Tom shared this rebuilt CJ-5. I haven’t seen an early KS speedometer with that tall of bezel (outer circle). Maybe it is the light color of the outer ring that is throwing me off.

“Restored 1967 Jeep CJ5. Great condition. Clean title. Garage stored.
The CJ5 restoration was completed in early 2017 and brought to Nantucket 2021. It has about 600 miles since restoration. The CJ is all original except the tub. Even the color is a factory color. It has a rare 6 cylinder. Most were delivered with the standard 4 cylinder. There is a new top with side windows, but need poles. The following was added: electronic ignition. electric fuel pump and a ahooga horn. Its in mint condition.”
Blaine found this unusual CJ-5. The seller claims it was special ordered by Henry Kaiser, then given to the Boy Scouts. Hopefully, the seller can substantial the claim. Even without that pedigree, this is an awfully stock jeep in very good shape.

“This is a 1960 CJ five with 35,000 original miles. The jeep is from Hawaii. Henry J Kaiser gave this jeep to the Boy Scouts in Hawaii. The Boy Scouts sold raffle tickets as a fundraiser. When the jeep was about a year old. It wound up in Paso Robles. The man owned it past away. I Purchased a jeep 15 years ago. The stoop is always been under cover in store and in storage. It is in great condition. The color of the jeep, is the same colors as the Royal Hawaiian hotel in Hawaii. Which was also owned by Henry J Kaiser. The main body of the jeep which is painted a darker pink is the same as the hotel The light pink that is used on the grill. He’s also the same color as the trim color on the hotel. The color of the seats are the color of the tile roof that is on the hotel. This is also the same colors of used on Kaiser s Sand and gravel trucks. This jeep has an absolutely fabulous history. and I believe that it is the only CJ five. In these colors as it was a special order by Henry J Kaiser and sell.”
Looks like a nice build.
