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: Still Available.
(09/18/2017) Has a fiberglass body and runs.
“I purchased this a year ago with the hopes to fix it up but I realized that I dont have the time or space for it. That being said I did a little work to it. Replaced battery and battery cables. Replaced the carb and replaced the fuel filters. I also purchased a new gas can for it.
The body of the vehicle is in great shape. The body has been replaced with a fiber glass one. The inside is also in great shape no rips in the seats.
The frame is also in great shape. There is rust but NO ROT. A previous owner cut a notch in the frame for some reason but it doesn’t seem big enough to effect anything.
The jeep starts and runs but is very loud and blows a blue smoke. I have been told that it has a rod nock. I am asking $2500 OBO. Some research tells me to get the engine running reliably it will be about $2500. You could have a cool jeep for 5k. Only serious inquiries please. I can send more pictures if needed. “

I would never had guessed this has a 327 in it.
“Rebuilt corvette 327 Turbo Fire engine. Starts right up, Original manual transmission 4×4 rebuilt .16inch wheels , needs minor TLC.lost title bill of sale ONLY.”
Scott is selling his CJ-5 project. I forgot to ask him how much he wants, so I’m awaiting a price.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2750.
Needs some work, but might be a good price.
“Selling a 1961 Willys cj5 jeep. This was a project and still needs some things finished. It was intended to build and keep. Plans have changed and this needs to go.

Listed as a 1961, the serial number suggests this is a September 1964. It has a Meyer hardtop.
“1961 willys jeep cj 5. Comes with hardtop, doors and plow. Will run off carb cleaner. Only piece missing is the radiator. Frame in great shape, rest of the body has usual rust areas. I bought it to build a cj 6 with but lost interest due to building my cj3a. Sold on Bill of sale.”
https://newlondon.craigslist.org/cto/d/1961-cj5-with-plow/6364311771.html
Might be a good price.

https://mcallen.craigslist.org/cto/d/1963-willys-jeep-cj5/6362525042.html
Seller believes the Koenig hardtop top came off of a DJ, but that top wouldn’t have fit the wider windshield of the CJ-5.
“Been slowly fixing this cj5 up over the last year or so.
Recently replaced-
All fluids
Axle seals
Greased wheel bearings
Brake master cylinder
All brake slave cylinders
All brake shoes
Brake flex lines
Ignition switch
Tail lights
Distributor cap, rotor, points and leads
Spark plugs
Coolant hoses
Fan belt
Installed delco 145amp alternator.
And more I have forgotten about!
The original f134 motor runs well and I have driven the jeep around the block a few times. Still needs some work to be roadworthy but not much. Body is in good shape with very little rust.
Has a interesting Hardtop and doors that I suspect came off a dj5
Vehicle is fitted with a Ramsey pto winch and PTO.
Vehicle needs new rear leaf springs and the parking brake fixed before it will be roadworthy. Also the fuel tank really needs to be flushed and sealed.”

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $6000.
(07/21/2017) Craig shared this one. Seller wants $6000 for all the jeeps.
“I have 4 Willys Jeeps. ’49, ’60, ’65, & ’69. I have titles to all except the ’69. The ’49 alone is worth the price of entire lot. I want $6,000 for ALL. I will NOT separate at this time! I may sell the ’49 by itself but prefer to sell the whole lot. Please don’t text me asking me for a book of information back and forth. It’s much easier to CALL! I can also help with transport AFTER the deal has been made. I am willing to trade the entire lot up or down for a TJ or JK Jeep. May be interested in other trades but Jeep preferred. I thought I would have time for a few projects but that has changed so I’m selling them all. It would honestly be easier to come in person and check them all out. Missing parts here, extra parts there, etc. PLEASE no calls or texts after 11pm.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2000.
“Here is a good Jeep project. Engine will run, not seized. Hate to see it sit here. Has everything it needs to be put back together to run except a battery. Mostly all original. Some newer parts include; fuel line, fuel pump, and ignition. Has M38A1 radiator and hood. Custom made tow hitch. The floors are completely shot in front but still has original floor in the rear. Even has original spare tire support baffle. in the rear fender well.
I made my own spare tire carrier. The dashboard is not cut up. Rare aluminum Sears Deluxe Arctic Hardtop with original glass. No glass for the doors. The top is full of dents, but still serves its purpose. Comes with standard low back seats. Previous owner put Toyota lap seat belts in it. I also will include original Willys front fenders and new aftermarket fenders. And old ford rims and tires if you want period correct look, just have to put inner tube in one tire. Also can include a kaiser era tailgate. Selling as whole, cash only, no trades. $2500 obo willing to negotiate on price”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $2400.
This has a 2×4 as a front crossmember? I think we’ve seen this before; that rear seat looks familiar.
“First year of the Jeep CJ5. Runs great, recent engine, brake and exaust rebuild. Needs clutch work to get going again. The floors are rusted out but the rest of the body is good. Pretty much all original. Needs restoration or use for hunting, etc.. Original color is Diamond Blue. Clean Idaho title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
Runs and drives.
“older willys jeep, starts and runs well, body is rough but solid, 4 wheel drive works, new front brake wheel cylinders, new master cylinder, recent oil change and filter.”
The jeep is rough (and a bit high priced for not having an engine), but it does include an overdrive. The seller doesn’t mention it, so might not know it.
“I have a 56 Willys cj5 jeep for sale. This is a project needs some work. Body is in pretty good shape. No motor. I have no title, needs to be trailered.”
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/d/1956-willys-cj5-jeep/6355695145.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
Could have some value.

https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/d/1956-willys-jeep-cj5-with/6332334830.html
“This Jeep is a great candidate for restoration. It has the original engine that starts and runs perfectly! The transmission and clutch also work as they should and I have driven it around the block. However, the brake lines are rusty so I have not attempted to get them bled. Right now the pedal goes to the floor.
Craig shared this ad. The Kelly half cab is pretty rare. This one has the wrong doors; those are Meyer doors.
“65 Jeep Willys cj5 F134 4cyl, Motor is out the top half done. Needs work $575.00 Or Best Offer”
https://rochester.craigslist.org/cto/d/1965-jeep-willys-cj5/6337867865.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
Looks like it’s in good shape.
“This is my 1955 willys cj5. It has been my pride and joy for the last 12years, and I am ready to let someone else enjoy this wonderful vehicle.
It is a blast to drive, and great to look at! It was fully restored in 2006. It served me as my Daily driver all through high school and then some years after. It has been kept indoors for the last 10 years. The more kids we have the less it gets driven, and it is depressing to see it set and not get used. I would rather have someone enjoy it than have it set in my garage with the other “toys” I don’t use anymore.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
Craig spotted this one. The plow, hardtop and other parts might make this worth a look.
“1961 Jeep. Frozen motor. Has a plow.
$800.00 or best offer”
Looks like this could be a nice jeep.
“This is a 1961 CJ5 four wheel drive restored by previous owner. Runs fantastic, newish paint in great shape, good seats, new tires, 34,320 miles on odometer and new besttop soft top. Text me if you have any questions.
Would consider trading for a newer Jeep 6cyl or a Toyota 4Runner 4×4. Let me know what you have, all I can say is Yes or No.”
