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 .
Mike spotted this former trencher with a Meyer half cab for sale.

“1969 Cj5 “Go-For-Digger” Dually. Came factory with a plow and a back hoe that i don’t have. The Jeep is now mostly disassembled and will need restored. Ran when took apart, I’m sure it can still run. Has rust in the tub but frame is good. I can send current pictures. Have PTO front and rear. F134ci 4 cylinder and 3 speed.”
There might be some value here. With a September 1962 build date, t’s likely among the last CJ-5s with the faux battery box lid. No useful description provided. A rear tank appears added to this jeep.

“Old jeeps in need of restoration”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Looks like there is parts value here. That front bumper must have hit something very hard!
“Selling a 1956 Jeep Willys CJ5. I got this years ago in the hopes of restoring it, but never found the time. It was running when i got it. So, all of the major parts and pieces are there. It is not road worthy without some restoration. Selling it as is. You will need a trailer to pick it up.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/28/2021) Could be some value here.

TRW flat top pistons have been fly cut for the proper valve relief. Heads are the highly sought after and coveted pre smog 3196291C small chamber with the dog leg ports. Original factory heads were 58.92 cc with 1.625/2.025 valves. These heads have been professionally reworked per the American Motors “Performance American Style” guide to high performancing AMC engines (original AMC book included). Heads are the 291C 50.60 cc with balanced chambers. Original factory compression ratio was about 7.2:1 Flat top pistons and the small chamber heads now put this engine slightly over 10.4:1. Rods were all balanced and shot peened.Cam is a 274 duration .500 lift hydraulic
This has been listed for a while. I include it here as the jeep has one of the rare CJ-5 aftermarket-angled dashes.

“1961 Jeep with plow – runs but needs some work. No title but you can get a salvage title. Call Walt for details [hidden information] – as is, where is.”

A reader by the name of Brent has this solid looking CJ-5 for sale. It’s set up for some hunting with the elevated rear seat. It doesn’t have a title, but will have a bill-of-sale.
“For sale is my 1961 Willys CJ-5. Some of the improvements over the last 2 years include new tires (already slimed), installation of Warn winch, custom built high rack complete with cooler storage (cooler not included), water jug storage, removable expanded metal trash can, spare tire holder, and a tilt-up floor. The carburetor has been rebuilt, electric fuel pump installed to prime the existing mechanical pump, hard wired battery tender on the inside wheel well, pertronix ignition (replaces the need for points in the distributor).
Five years ago we did a major overhaul which included the following (all new/replaced): master cylinder, valve job, rear brake hose, radiator, radiator hoses, thermostat, fan belt, ignition switch, starter, gas tank, sending unit, fuel line, new transmission, new transfer case, new steering wheel, new seats, new glove box, new fender flares, and finished with a flat OD green paint.
F-134 engine runs and drives good. 4WD works fine. No title; will provide bill of sale.”
This jeep has a fiberglass body, but also appears to have a Tux Park package.

“I have a good 56 Jeep project that was sitting in a barn for about the last 30 years. It does not run. Complete and not dissassembled. Very solid body. Will require some rust repair on the right front floor and possibly the left front floor also. This is a project that needs restoration. I was told the engine was rebuilt many years ago and it was driven into the 90s. Bill Of Sale only. Two new front tires. Rolls well for loading. This is a project vehicle that is in good condition for being 65 years old.”
UPDATE: Colin pointed out that this is likely a DJ-5 and not a CJ-5. Besides the points he makes in the comment, you can just make up the passenger rear rim which only has four lug nuts.
Blaine spotted this rare airport-baggage-modified DJ-5 for sale.

“For sale is a jeep was told it was an old military jeep not sure on what year it is was told it was a 46 But couldn’t find the year in the trim tags no title could with a bill of sale asking 650”
The writing on the door suggests this was a ranch vehicle out of Meeker, Colorado. The Koenig half top looks in good shape.

The jeep is mostly disassembled, but there is a pic of the chassis with the drive train and steering wheel. Not sure how much value is here, but there appears to be some. It looks like it has a PTO as well.

Seller has a variety of jeeps that must go.

It’s got some rear quarter panel damage at the spare tire location, but other wise might be a solid early CJ-5 with a PTO winch.
