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 .
This project includes a rear PTO winch. There could be some value here. The body looks rough.

“1956 Jeep CJ

This was a father son project that has lost interest…. Lots of potential. It’s all there!
$3975 cash”
David shared this link. Unclear just how much value is here. It’s difficult to understand the entire scope of what’s for sale. I don’t see any running/driving jeeps pictured.

“This deal is not for the faint of heart, but you will make money off this deal! I have 3 CJ6’s & 1 CJ5 parts Jeeps plus 4 other jeeps almost ready. I got parts out the wahzoo! Engines & transmissions body parts, and more. Must have a way to transport yourself & MUST TAKE ALL.”
There seems like some parts value here. The seats appear in good shape.

“1959 CJ5 project or parts has a 134 Hurricane. Ran good when parked brand new carburetor needs fuel pump. $800 obo.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(07/17/2022) This looks to be an old school jeeping jeep, though it lacks a full cage. It seems worth a look.

“Runs drives stops as it should. Ford 302 T150 trans and a Dana 18”
Maury shared this solid looking CJ-5. It has a great old school feel to it.

“Dauntless V6 3 speed. New carb, brake system, wiring, instruments & gas tank. Everything works. 5 Kelsey Hayes wheels. Original white Whitco top has hole in top but frame is good.”
Sri shared this Tuxedo Park IV with a custom paint job. The Reno Four Wheelers club plaque seems a nature fit for that rear quarter-panel.

“Runs like a top and turns heads left and right. Don’t need to sell, not in a hurry to get rid of it. Money is going towards Buisness ventures. I’ve taken it camping. Run around 6 people deep all week in 100’ heat for H.A.N and never gets hot.

“57 Willys Jeep. CJ-5 low mileage Jeep with very little rust, only surface in a few places. Paint has faded form being stored outdoors for many years. Was used only to plow snow by previous owner. Odometer reads 6678 but has stopped working.”
Given it runs and stops, this might be worth a look.

“1966 Willys Jeep CJ5. Starts, runs, drives and stops. This is a project and is full of rust. I used it to plow my driveway (way more fun than a snowblower) and it has not been on the road since I bought it last year. It is one of three Jeep CJ projects that I own, and I’m downsizing. Bring a trailer, it’s not road worthy. I can take buyer for a farm trail ride to prove it works. It includes the hydraulics and lift assembly for snow plow which works. I’m keeping the plow and lower mount. Use it as a cheap UTV or rebuild it. It will need a new body and probably some minor frame repair to restore due to rust at the front crossmember. I use it regularly as it is. Please no calls on weekdays before five pm or Thursday nights. I can’t answer it at work. Text anytime.”
Maybe some parts value?

“1958 willys jeep project”
It isn’t anything fancy, but looks solid.

“I have a 1960 jeep Willys in great condition runs and drives with a V6 manual transmission 4 x 4 with no rust has a built-in winch on the front bumper”
This includes a Sears soft top with a sun-see-through feature, a bed extender, and some Dualmatic hubs with the stickers still visible. It may be worth a look.

“1955 CJ5 Jeep Project – comes with Ford 302 engine and a new and unused canvas top. As is Where is with no Warrantees. $5000 OBO. Ford engine when purchased was said to have less than 30,000 miles on it. 3 speed 4×4. Will not deliver.”
This needs some work, but appears to have the original Buick V6 that was first introduced in 1965 to the CJ-5.

“All original Needs some love runs and drives”
Seller says, “Make offer”. Lots of rust, but it is supposed to run and drive. It has a Kelly hardtop.

“Runs and drives frame is good.Needs brakes and body work,possibly new tub. Kelly all steel top and doors.Drivers seat is only seating inside,gauges are there.Make an offer!”
Given the winch, this might be worth a look. This has been parked since I graduated from high school, so you know that’s a LONG time.

“PRICED TO SELL QUICK 1963 Willys CJ5 Jeep 283/327 Chevy V-8 that turns over by hand Warn Motor over Winch Dual under seat fuel tanks Soft doors and soft top hardware Windshield Frame is immaculate No Fenders Registered on original 1963 Washington plates Clean Title in my name.

This has an unusual front spring hanger setup with the ability to raise or lower the front spring pivot bolt.

“?? 1968 cj5 ?? Jeep NO MOTOR NO TRANSMISSION. Rolling chassis. Solid frame and body $800 or best offer. No title. Saturday special price $600 if here before 2 pm”
Oddly, this first-year CJ-5 has the 5-gauge set rather than the large KS setup. Anyone ever seen this on a CJ-5? If someone replaced the big speedo with small gauges, they did a good job.

“55 Willys CJ5. Runs. Original Hurricane 4 cylinder. Been stored under cover, solid tub. Been used on ranch since 70s. Clear title in my name. $4500 cash firm.”
The hardtop on this early CJ-5 was interesting, particularly the doors. I’m sure it’s a 1970s or later top.
https://reno.craigslist.org/cto/d/tahoma-1955-willys-cj5/7509733765.html
“‘55 CJ5 with original motor, 3 speed, near new tires and shocks. Top and doors come off. Currently not running and needs a new battery, which I’m taking care of. Comes with original metal gear directions. Perfect for someone with the time to tinker. Odometer doesn’t work and didn’t when I bought it a few years ago.”
No pics and not much of a description. Maybe something or maybe nothing.

“1964 Willy Jeep with hard top. Its been sitting for many years. Was supposed to be a project.”
This CJ-5 is listed as a 1958, but it has the KS 0-8 speedo along with reversed front springs. So, it is likely a 1956 model. It spent much of its life in the military.

“Posting our 1958 Cj-5 jeep for sale
Former Travis Air Force Base flight line jeep transferred to U.S. Army at some point in its life.
This jeep is an excellent farm vehicle and runs like a swiss watch. It has been recently converted to 12 volt and the F134 engine runs strong with good oil pressure and stays cool even lugging around on hot days.
The soft top doesn’t have any tears and is removable.
4×4 works good, and the manual transmission shifts well.
We have used this jeep on our farm for a while and it is time to let it go to a new home.
This jeep has the typical jeep quirks, and it obviously isn’t a brand new vehicle, so it will have its issues here and there.
Located in Gilroy, clean title in hand.
Call or text anytime”
UPDATE: **SOLD** What we may be seeing is a CJ-5 Renegade I that was built in late 1970. So, even though it was a 1970 production, it is considered a 1971 model. There is a discussion about that here: http://www.earlycj5.com/xf_cj5/index.php?threads/45677/
The engine has been updated, but the Renegade stripes and purple color are still there.
“1971 cj5 renegade Spec sheet pictured from previous owner Has a new 4.3l Chevy v6 with approximately 8k miles on it. 69k on odometer thus on body Body in great shape! Nice patina on faded factory purple paint. Newer toyo tires Warn winch Collector plates Comes with optional bikini top and suicide doors. Cash only please.”
This early CJ-5 still has the KS 0-8 speedo.

“1956 jeep cj-5 4 cyl. , bring your trailer and some cash, get this out of my yard please ,great little project jeep ,no title but legals to obtain title from dmv,”
This early CJ-5 includes a plow. It may be worth a look.

“Vintage jeep with plow, don’t know the year, milage or model number, last ran five years ago. Sold as is you pick it up.”
Maybe some parts value here at the very least.
