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 .
There seems to be some value here.

Thanks to Maury for doing the leg work on this one. The box behind the rear seat was used for gas, but we don’t know if it was to power the jeep or to carry aviation fuel for some unknown reason. It’s not a typical gas cap.
The seller provided some additional information:
The “box” behind the passenger seat is the fuel cell (gas tank). This jeep was equipped by LAX’s TWA. I bought the jeep through ebay some 5 years ago from the 3 owner who was a young plastic surgeon for the army he painted it green (I was glad he did a bad job, I brought back the red with on can of Goooff and found the red to be in very nice shape) and he added the passenger seat. However he never got it running and let it sit out resulting in the trans to fill with water due to the boot around the stick shift. I had to disconnect the drive shaft to be able to move it. I picked up the jeep in Southern Ca. Another Item not working is the speedometer, When rebuilding the trans, the speedo gear came out brittle and broke, Having not able to find one at the time of the rebuild, we left it out.
From the ad:
“1969 Jeep CJ5, Original California jeep, used by TWA at LAX (one of 3 they used that year). Jeep was to be used by the “Fire Inspector” (you can barely read it on the dash) Has original fuel cell put in for the airport. Original 4 cyl motor. 3 speed trans, 2 wheel drive, (NOT 4X4) Great on fuel.
I have had the trans rebuilt completely $2500. Unknown to me at time of purchase here on ebay, but the trans boot was gone and the trans filled up with rain water and locked up with rust. Had to find and buy, then rebuild a starter (450). Rear end rebuilt with new seals and bearings (500). New tires and new battery. Minimal rust not bad for a 47 year old jeep (see photo) Now the bad news, due to injury at work, and health reasons, I am unable to finish my goal to restore to original TWA days. All that is left is the body. I have over $5000 invested. My loss can be your gain. Jeep is located in Goleta, California. Clean and clear CA title.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Looks like there’s value here.
“For sale is my ’55 Willy’s Jeep. It’s a straight, clean, completely rust-free original from southern CA. I bought it about 15 years ago with the intention of restoring it to like new condition – however the the project was started and never finished. As a result, the CJ is not currently running – the primary reason of which is that it has no wiring (I pulled out to replace). The Hurricane F-134 engine turns over, and everything else was in working order before disassembly. It has a the original T-90 transmission case mated to a T-18 transfer case.
I decided I didn’t have the time/dedication to commit to restoring this truck, however this remains an excellent project for someone who does. You won’t find a better base truck to work on, and this is the first year CJ5 ever produced (which are both the reasons why I originally bought it). Tough to find a truck that isn’t all modified and jacked-up – and I believe the red paint is the original believe it or not.”
What kind of winch is that? Has a Meyer hardtop.
“Has an extra gas tank and wench.$6K OBO”
http://boise.craigslist.org/cto/5724770282.html
Has a Meyer top. Runs and drives. Might have a patched body.
“I have owned and driven for 11 years. Used primarily as a hunting vehicle for back woods use. I have extra pair of wheels/tires, Haynes repair manual. Manual transmission and H/L work. No power steering/brakes. Top can be removed.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Seller also has a “Willys”, but doesn’t include a pic of it.
“I have two jeeps for sale I have one that is a 1974 CJ and the other I believe is a 75 CJ the 74 is the white one that I have a title for.The orange one you will have to put in for lost title or use it for a Parts vehicle .. They both come with all the jeep parts that are at the garage. There are some transmissions transfer cases,lots of stuff. I bought them from a friend of mine that was moving in a big hurry.. Well he told me he was not coming back to NV.. I loaned him $1200 at the time and that’s what I want for the jeeps today.. I’m selling them as a package first come first serve. There is also a Willys that I have to anybody’s interested”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000.
Not restored, but looks like a good refurb. It’s another example of the interchangeability between the CJ-5/6 and the Commando front clip. Has a fiberglass body.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400. This may have the Con-Ferr rear bumper.
It doesn’t currently run, but looks like a great restoration project. The rear bumper setup was a popular mod in California/Arizona and can be seen on a variety of CJ-5s in 1960s Four Wheeler Magazines (I know this because I just bought four years worth of magazines and looked through them).
“Willy’s Jeep CJ5 Project. Frame is a 1956, body is a 1966. It has been in this configuration since the late 60’s/ early 70’s. Floors and tool box are solid. Has the 4 cylinder hurricane engine in it. Has been sitting for many years and needs to be gone thru, so it does not currently run. Engine does turn freely. Don’t know much else about it other than it has a stainless steel gas tank and has a tow bar (removeable with a couple of pins). Also includes a new old stock Carter Carburetor. Has a clear California Pink that matches the frame numbers. Body numbers have been run by a NV State Trooper and come back clear (have document). $1450.”
Nothing fancy, but seems to be a fine price.

http://bend.craigslist.org/cto/5706917674.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900.
I can’t tell if there is more work needed or not, apart from the gas tank, but this could be a good price if it runs and drives.
“CJ5 Willys Jeep. F – head 4 cyl motor,

Very strong running Jeep. I have been using it as a daily driver.
All the lights work and so do the brakes. I replaced the generator with an alternator. Also has an electric fuel pump. The body is in pretty good shape giving how old it is. Also comes with a half cab and doors. It has a heater that works really well for Winter driving.

http://sd.craigslist.org/cto/5693150443.html

“Fiberglass tub, Runs and drives, owned by an older gentleman no longer able to get in and out of the Jeep. Asking $3,500 obo”
http://nh.craigslist.org/cto/5702010404.html

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Includes a PTO winch and Meyer Half top. Could be a good price. The fenders look newer.

(10/11/2015) “All steel, inline -4 engine. Kelly hard top. Older restoration, no rust,everything correct with this model year.Had all fluids changed and flushed.Now have small leak on pan.New battery and carb”
http://fortmyers.craigslist.org/chl/cto/5688267488.html
This runs and drives and has some new parts.
“This Willys has a new transfer case, new transmission, new fuel tank and new canvas over foam seats.I has the original four cylinder engine, it doesn’t ever run hot. It always starts and stops, (new brakes). It does not have a top, winch, spare tire or roll bar. The pan had rust holes but has been plated so It’s a driver but not a likely restoration project. The tires hold air and have about 40% tread but they are pretty old. I’m asking $1650′
http://tucson.craigslist.org/cto/5698961517.html
Looks like a good price.
“I’m selling this all original, 1967 CJ5 Brush Fire Jeep with its original Buick 6 Cylinder “Dauntless” engine. The body and frame are extremely solid. I personally would do a repaint on it but it is not necessary. As you can see in the pictures it was built with brush fire fighting capabilities which make it rare. 4WD with low and high range. Extremely large and powerful winch mounted as seen in the pictures. Interior in excellent condition. Comes with a plow.
The Mack Bulldog on the front is equipped with a water line controlled from the drivers seat which allows the dog to “p” on people in front of it when the button is depressed. Great for parades, fire company display, farm use or just as a novelty driver. Vehicle starts and runs as it should. There is some work that needs to be done with suspension but currently I drive it on the road. Because of the weight from the special gear and water tank when full these jeeps were built with very heavy duty suspension systemsI have a clear transferable registration ready to go.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
“Used 1966 Jeep cj-5 Tuxedo Park edition. Bought as a daily driver project, turned out to be unsafe and larger project (frame broken) than I wanted. Cleaned and painted a solid M38A1 frame and mounted engine/trans/transfer in it. Cleaned, repainted, remounted springs on new bushings. New Rancho shocks. As far as I want to go. Will be safe anyway. Have Dana 25 and 44 on the frame with 9″ drums and Dana 27 and 44 with 10″ drums extra. Engine, 231 Buick, ran good with good compression, T400 Automatic also worked fine. New parts purchased before aware of condition: Headers, complete floor pan, Plastic gas tank, fuel sending unit, valve covers, Rochester carb, extra (not on), Ford reverse manual steering box, Heavy duty tie rods and ball joints, Borgenson steering conversion, new seats, new bushings for springs. Rust on tub has been stopped, there are holes in wheel wells, with plate steel over these see pictures. Floor pan is for poorly fixed rust on tub floor. Everything else solid. Parts needed to complete, wiring harness, couple of brake lines, and body bushings. I will consider all reasonable offers, but as with all these jeeps have a lot invested. Am trying to sell all together, but will consider parting out. Can provide many more pictures if needed. Mileage listed may not be accurate, but read around 67,000 miles. Thanks for looking.”
