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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
John shared this militarized CJ-5. Though not restored to original, it looks like this was a nut and bolt rebuild at some point. It seems worth a look given the price.

“Fully rebuilt motor and transmission new tires brakes canvas top and seats. Has been sandblasted and painted about 10 yrs ago.”
UPDATE: This one is still available.
(09/30/2023) This may be worth a look. The Koenig half cab looks in good shape.

“A 1955 Willys Jeep Coupe hardtop 4×4 4-speed 4 cylinder new carb runs with snow plow and hydraulic lift works”
UPDATE :**SOLD** Was $4000.
It doesn’t run at the moment, but is supposed to have a solid body.
“Universal CJ5 Open Body is in good condition – no known rust. PTO winch and built-in tow bar on front bumper. Been stored under cover during present owner +/- 10 years. Comes with new Solex carburetor purchased through Jeepsterman recently. New 6 volt battery. Odds are good that it will run when replaced. Ran previously. Back bench seat included.”
This appears worth a look.

“So, this has been in my family for quite a while. Believe my great grandpa ‘created’ this back in the 80’s and would mainly use it as a hunting vehicle. To my understanding mostly all the exterior is fiberglass, cab space is mainly sheet metal, engine and chassis are from an old jeep (willys jeep or jeep CJ) sometime in the 1940’s-60’s. Price is OBO, if you think you have any info on the chassis and engine based on the pictures let me know, I would like to learn more about it myself. Have the cylinder head and other parts but are in kind of rough shape as you could assume”
Update: As John points out, the body, chassis and fenders aren’t from ‘55.
The Meyer half cab might be in good shape. Hard to tell what shape the body is in.

“57 M38A1 and 63 Willy’s both use to run. Now been sitting. Both rough projects. $3500 each. No titles. OBO”
Blaine shared this low mileage CJ-5 (17K plus miles). There are some great vintage details on this rig.

“1971 CJ5 jeep renegade 1
17,400 miles original orange paint. One owner had for many years used to plow snow only. Factory ordered hard top and dealer installed snow plow. Body is in excellent condition with only surface rust in places. original tires appear to have been recapped. Original pin stripe seats, dauntless V-6. 3 speed manual with warn overdrive. Amazing survivor collector piece”
This has one of the odder front bumpers I’ve seen. The jeep appears to be solid with a Beck or Kelly hardtop. Note what may be a King Seeley 0-8 speedo.
