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 $2500.
I think something was trapped in the grille and broke out. Yikes! Thanks to Bill for sharing this one.

Craig shared this ad. It’s listed as a 1952, but it looks like a CJ-5, which means it is 1955 or later.

“This is my wonderful 1961 Willys Overland Jeep CJ-5 that is 100% ready to be driven anywhere. It is currently registered and insured in my name.
Lots of recent work with $6000+ worth of receipts:
Engine redone including all seals, bearings and rings under 1000 miles ago.
New Carb
New Fuel Pump
Differential Seals
New Gauges
New Exhaust
Previous work includes a transmission rebuild and new brakes.
Everything on the truck has been gone through over the past few years.
It comes with a 6 month old Best top supertop (full top with soft doors) and a Bikini top that is only a few years old. The interior and bodyword was all redone a few years ago and is in great condition.
The Jeep starts right up, 4wd engages in hi and low. It has a Saturn / Warn Overdrive unit that works as it should and really helps on long drives.
It will come with several new parts I haven’t needed yet as well as all the parts taken off the jeep that were replaced, a second front bumper with a tow bar and the paperwork for all the recent work. If you are looking for a Willy CJ CJ2A CJ3A CJ3B or CJ7 this truck is worth checking out. I have taken it on long drives without issue.
Bought a house, so selling the Jeep, no trades.”

I’ve never seen one of these CJ-5 fiberglass tubs. Has a thick rim around the back and a seat built into the cargo area.

This needs some more assembly/work, but it is an early CJ-5 (#23631).
“All original, uncut, unmodified, with original drive train and body. Body was pulled off the frame for paint and restoration approximately 9 years ago and never fully reassembled. Only two prior registered owners. It was originally an Idaho farm rig so the miles are very, very low. Odometer says 71,505. It was brought to California in 2003 and used on a mountain ranch before being disassembled for resto. The second owner was the best friend of the first owner so he had knowledge of the Jeep’s entire history. Take that information for whats its worth, but pictures speak a thousand words.
Jeep was used almost daily before the resto began. Original Hurricane 4 cylinder, T90 transmission, Dana model 18 transfer case, Dana 25/44 axles with 5:38 gears. Tires are near new tread but date coded 2008 (when the resto was taking place). New stainless hardware used during reassembly. Original options include the RARE split “Ventilation” windshield (glass is perfect). Also has the Willys heater/defroster option. THIS JEEP IS NOT FULLY REASSEMBLED! It will need a new wiring harness, windshield seals, cables (heater, choke, throttle, etc), brake master cylinder, steering wheel, hoses and belts, and the brakes, clutch, and carburetor gone through.”
https://modesto.craigslist.org/cto/6060216502.html
Has a fiberglass body, but looks like a good price. Seller will only sell in person and will not ship.
“65 Willys CJ5 with the f134 4 cylinder 3 speed. 4 wheel drive works as it should. Previous owner installed a fiberglass body. Frame is straight and rust free. Uses a little oil otherwise everything is as it should be. Fun toy. Price is obo open to trades no motorcycles.
I will not ship the car. I will only sell in person. Thanks to too many Craigslist scammers cash or I keep car and title until my bank verifies certified check. Don’t waste my time.”
https://masoncity.craigslist.org/cto/6059034851.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Ends soon … Has a rebuilt motor. The Road Runner graphics are cool in their own way. Replace the fenders with some black ones (or try to repaint to match existing paint) and you might have a fun little jeep. Check that front end though, as it might be a little twisted (Or the replacement bumper was attached at an angle.
“The jeep has the original 4 cylinder motor with less than 2000 miles on a rebuild. It has new springs and shocks. The transmission is a manual 3-speed. It has lockout hubs.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
