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 $1500.
This includes an overdrive. It runs and drives. Looks like a good deal.
“For Sale: 1965 Jeep CJ5. 4 cly engine, 3spd trans with overdrive and high low range. Tires are slightly checked but new tread. Jeep has been stored for several years but starts and runs, could use carb clean etc but idles fine. Was owned by same guy for thirty yrs before we bought it. Rust in usual places.”

This appears in perfect shape.

UPDATE: Brian’s selling his unique collection of jeeps. Among them is a CJ-6 Wrecker, a CJ-5 Trencher, CJ-5 Snow Blower and the first CJ-5 ever produced.
You are bidding on a massive collection of jeep vehicles, literature, memorabilia, dealer items, toys, and much more. This is the collection of Jeep restorer and enthusiast, Brian Hainer, of Brian’s 4wd Parts, LLC. This list of vehicles is as follows:
1946 CJ2A, original survivor with 7000 miles on it. Original top, chaff screen, rear seat. Even has original key and invoice from Willys/Overland. Has the patina of a 50+ year old vehicle and is one of the most original examples of a CJ2A in existence.
1962 CJ6 Garage Service Vehicle. This has been restored from the ground up and is flawless. Original Koenig Wrecker Boom, and Front winch. Twin Stick PTO powers the front winch, rear wrecker winch, and air compressor. Since the photos posted were taken I have made some top bows and sewn a full lenght bikini top for it. Made out of black canvas. I also added a Extend-a-Bed to this vehicle. There just isn’t any room back there to carry anything and I wasn’t planning on using the boom so I added the extension.
1977 Jeep CJ7. This satisfied my need to go fast every now and again. V8 304, 4.10 gears, …… This jeep is a perfect driver and restored with the same care as every vehicle that comes thru my shop.
1968 CJ5 Jeep-a-Trench. This is an unrestored CJ5 bought from the original owner a couple years ago. Everything is there and is a great example of a trencher. Runs and drives but smokes like crazy. Awaiting restoration.
196? CJ5 Snowblower Jeep. Not exactly sure of the year. This came from an airport and has 109 miles on it. Runs perfect, has the T-98 4 speed in it, but it is very rusty. Body will need replacing.
CJ5 10001 Cut Away Jeep Chassis . This jeep chassis is a cut away display model made by Willys. It has every option you could install on a jeep at the time and everything is cut open so you could see the operation of it. Front winch, governor, twin stick pto, rear gearbox, and right angle pulley. A true piece of history.
That about covers the vehicles. Also included in this sale is every piece of literature, memoriabilia, jeep toy, etc.. that I have collected over the past 30 years. If it is jeep related I probably have it…. bought out a lot of dealers and collected a lot of signs, and early salesmens books.
The Jeep Toy collection is an impressive one and includes #92 of the Fine Art Model of the ww2 MB. Fine art models got into a battle with Chrysler a while back over making these and it is very rare to ever see one for sale. You will receive #92 with this collection.
This looks good at a good price.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4250
(02/16/2011) This looks like a nicely original CJ-5 spotted by Steve.
“1956 Willys Jeep 2 owner vehicle. It has the bolt on hard top (I don’t think it’s ever been off) 4cyl, 3spd,transfer case 4 wheel drive. Runs, drives, shifts. It’s got to go, so come and see it, check it out, has lots of new stuff. Was stored for 9 years by second owner and odometer only shows 17k original as it was a farm vehicle. It does have a plow as well but it dosen’t work presently. Good to fix up and drive or restore. Serious inquiries only please and as I said it’s got to go. $4,250.00 or best offer. Need more deatils contact me. Please no scammers, low ballers or tire kickers as I won’t waste your time so please don’t waste mine. It’s complete”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay for $1000.
“This is a 1967 jeep cj5 DUALLY. My understanding is that is was owned by the Texas DOT and was used as an auger. The oil in the engine is black, but there is no apparent water in it. The engine compartment is dusty, but VERY complete. It has an alternator instead of generator. I feel with a little cleaning/tuning the engine would run. ( I have revived engines that looked 10 times worse!) The bad, The tranny cover was left loose and water penetrated it as well as the t-case (the drain plug was missing) so they are seized. The windshield is cracked. Both drive shafts are present, but disconnected due to frozen tranny and t-case. The frame has a 1/2 inch thick plate from the front bumper to the rear bumper following the contours of the frame on the outside of the frame rails. THEY ARE BOLTED TO THE FRAME and appear to be manufactured, not made by some some monkey with a torch. The rear axle is a monster, my understanding is that it is a Dana 70. There is a fuel tank, heavier than normal and with no sending unit hole. There are no seats, and the center most portion of the transmission flloor cover near the shifter is missing. The body is surprisingly lacking in rust. There is a minimal amount in the normal locations, but even the hat channels are in good shape. Please ask any questions before bidding, I am willing to help load the vehicle but the buyer is responsible for transportation. ******I just noticed in a couple of the pictures there are side steps that are NOT on the jeep any longer!*******”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a dually that has a six lug rear. I thought that was odd, but then I checked out a ’69 CJ-5 and it had the same setup.
“1965 Jeep CJ5 4 x 6 dual wheel open body 3 speed. Dana rear end and Chevy 350 motor. 47000 original miles. Originaly sold as a Trencher. Mechanically 100% body excellent.MUST SELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
UPDATE: Still Available
(01/27/2011) This guy is willing to do whatever it takes to sell this rolling chassis. This is located at Hank Graff Chevrolet. I wonder what they wrote off as the trade in value on this rig?
“CHECK THIS OUT…NO MOTOR, NO TRANS…NO TRANSFER CASE NO SEATS… .NOW THE POSITIVE…IT IS REALLY CUTE….WOULD MAKE A TERRIFIC FLOWER PLANTER FOR THE RIGHT FAMILY…. IT IS REALLY CUTE.. REMARKABLY, THE FRAME APPEARS TO BE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE…. FRONT PIG IS THERE …THAT IS NOT PATTON POSING BY THE WAY… PATTON WAS MUCH BETTER LOOKING …THINK LONG AND HARD AND EVENTUALLY YOU WILL FIND SOMETHING CREATIVE TO DO WITH IT… I HEARD SOMEWHERE THE OLD CHEVETTE MOTOR WORKED WELL IN THE OLD WILLYS ??? MAYBE I JUST DREAMED IT… THE FELLA PRETENDING TO BE A MOTOR… WE CALL HIM AARON… AARON ERWAY…. ‘IT’S YOUR WAY WITH ERWAY’ WHERE ELSE CAN YOU BUY A 1955 WILLYS FOR UNDER A GRAND ? … COFFEE IS ALWAYS ON …”

This runs and has a Warn OD. It needs a bumper at the very least. Some seats might be useful, too.
“Has Buick V-6 engine

stainless steel fuel tank

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(01/14/2011) This is suppose to have very light rust.
“jeep body is really good for age. the floors are solid and dont have much rust on the body for the age either. the top is still good also. the plow and everything work great. the motor is a 4cyl which runs good but knocks so it will need to be rebuilt. the trans is a manule trans 4×4. tires are good and frame is good as well. i may trade this jeep for something else like a nice truck or something else that might catch my eye. i just dont want anything that i have to work on thats why im selling this. call me at 304=788=6165. just ask if you have a trade or 2000 cash takes this jeep home. these jeeps are getting hard to find in this kind of shape. thanks for looking”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750
(02/13/2011) Seller will not part out. Looks like a solid project.
“Its time to sell this Willys project that i inherited a while back. I havent touched it in a couple years and I need the space in my garage. It ran before it was pulled apart. F-head 134/T90/D18. The frame is from a ’59 but I also still have the original. It comes with 2 sets of wheels, 15″ and 16″. None of the mounted tires are road worthy. Springs and shocks are new. Not pictured, but hood, fenders, grill, and rad are also included. It comes with a new dual chamber MC, prothane body mount kit, tie rod and drag link upgrade. Buy it to build it up or part it out. I have the title in hand. The purchaser will need a car hauler and cherry picker for the motor. I will not ship or part this out. If you want some of it, you will need to buy all of it. reply to this ad.”
There have been a variety of upgrades. Might not be a bad price.
“This is an original Willy’s Jeep. It is a 1959 CJ5, and with the exception of the original body, Jeep has been modified throughout:
-1970 Buick 350 V8 Motor
-Dana 30 Front End
-Dana 44 Rear End rebuilt within last year
-Dana 20 Transfer Case
-Chevy 4-Speed Transmission with 1st Granny Gear
-Rancho 2.5 inch Suspension lift
-32 inch Tires with 80% tread left
-Brand new Warn locking hubs within last year
-New Radiator and water pump within last year
-New Batter, alternator and starter within last 1.5 years
-New Ignition coil within last 6 months
-Dual fuel tanks
-3 Custom steel storage boxes
Jeep is rough around the edges, but starts and runs great. Idles very smooth, and motor is very responsive. With all of the modifications, this is one of the best running Jeeps you will find. It is a perfect hunting rig or 4-wheeler. Being a 1959, no smog is necessary for registration. Registration is current. 4 seat belts.
Only interested in cash sale. No trades please. Call with questions. Andy – 916-919-4746. ”

It runs.
“1969 Jeep CJ-5, body is pretty rough but solid.
$1200obo. also interested in trades/partial trades possibly for motorcycle, atv, ?? just let me know waht you’ve got
the Jeep’s motor and transmission work great. drives great. can not start it for you though. i had taken it mostly apart and drained and flushed out the radiator etc.
just put it back together to sell.
PROS: good strong V6 motor and th350/th400 transmission, 1 ton axle in rear end, heavy duty rear bumper, 95% tire tread, everything works.
CONS: it is a project so it needs cosmetic work and paint, needs to be cleaned up a bit, front bumper is a little bent (easily fixed or brand new one is $80), automatic shifter needs to be either
replaced or just adjusted/fixed, carburetor needs to be cleaned out because it has been sitting for 6+ months.
NEW PARTS: air cleaner, breather, spark plugs and wires, battery, seats, seat brackets, fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel lines, front lights and casings, brake cylinder and some of the brake lines, battery wires,
and i think the brakes were rebuilt but can’t remember.
best way to contact me is to TEXT ME (816-500-6729) but you can call me also i just probably won’t be able to answer because i’m working 6 days a week so leave your name and number and i’ll call you back.
