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 .

No pics.
“Old Willys Jeep. ROUGH SHAPE. Might be good for parts. Would like to see it used instead of going to the crusher. Any interest call 617-898-7440”
This is not a Super Jeep, but does have the graphics package.
“Up for auction is a 1974 Jeep CJ5. It is powered by an AMC 304 V8 which we believe is the original engine which may make this Jeep a factory Renegade package. It is a three speed manual transmission we believe the axels to be Dana 44’s front and rear. According to our calculations the axle gearing is 4.27:1,
The Jeep runs and drives well and the 4×4 works well. It has manual lock out hubs, and has a manual choke so it starts and runs well when cold. The engine has been upgraded with an Edelbrock aluminum intake, fendewell exit headers than go to medium loudness mufflers, the Jeep sounds throaty but is not overly loud. The Jeep has been in Arizona its entire life, but does have dents and dings all over the body.
There is no rust but there are dents etc. I would call the Jeep a “five to ten footer” meaning that if you are 5 or 10 feet away it looks like a new Jeep, when you get up to it you notice the dents and dings but hey its almost 40 years old and these werent built to be show cars, but it is rust free. It has been repainted an industrial gloss white and has custom Super Jeep package graphics on the body tub.
The body tub is 1976 and was swapped on many years ago. The Jeep has brand new black low back vinyl bucket seats, new seat frames, and a new factory rear seat from Rugged Ridge. The Jeep has 4″ of total lift comprising of 2″ lift Rancho springs front and rear and 2″ lift Performance Accessories shackles. The tires are new 33×10.50×15 BFG KM2s and the wheels are vintage restored American Racing turbines that have been restored to brand new condition. The wheels and tires were installed in the spring of 2011 and have less than 200 miles on them.
The Jeep belonged to my brother in law who was killed in an accident at work, and he performed all of the work and restoration from approx 2009 to 2011, we got it in the spring of 2011. We have kept it in storage and drive it occaisionally when the weather is nice, but honestly have only put maybe 100 to 150 miles on it over the last year and half, mainly a Sunday cruise when the weather is nice etc. We have decided that it might be time to pass it on to someone else to enjoy, this Jeep turns every head that passes by, and it just needs a few minor details to be perfect in our opinion, but it is ready to enjoy as it is now. Clear Arizona title in hand, the Jeep is located in Avondale, AZ. ”

Steve spotted this photo of an Armoured CJ-5 used by Armoured Banking Services to transport cash. On July 26th, 1966, this jeep was used to ferry cash to the Veterans Administration. A couple of men decided to make a withdrawal from the two employees carrying the cash into VA building, knocking them down with a submachine guns. You can read the whole story in the article below the eBay photo.

This is an article I found online about the robbery:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1100.
(10/16/2012) Ed forwarded me the following information, “i have a 55 willys in excellent shape all original except seats. mmotor runs and has only 38000 miles (orig). my neighbor owned it and gave it to me for work on 51 ford. i dont have title but if i could find serial number on frame i can get papers. i want 1500.00 cash and you can take it away”
No pics provided.
“I have a 1955 Willys jeep 4×4 with a 289 engine and 33 inch tires… Text me if interested…575-590-0705 I have pics… NO TRADES”
This would make a nice little jeep if you have an engine to put into it.
“This is a 1970 jeep cj5 that is in good shape. The body is in good shape with a couple little rust spots. The hat channels are perfect. The frame is very nice. This has the 27 front and the very desirable offset flanged 44 rear both with 4.27 gearing. It has a new 2.5 inch lift kit with new shocks and brand new 33” tires and wheels. The previous owner pulled the four cylinder for a sbc swap that never happened. I have a f head but its stuck and may only be good for parts. The windshield frame is beautiful and the glass is good. The seats are tattered but could be used as is. I want 1000 very firm and I have a clear title in hand. 509-261-0306 ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This was made from 2 CJ-5s. The seller provides a variety links and pictures for this neat project.
“This auction is for a custom four door CJ. The Jeep was built using all CJ5 parts. The front door is modeled off of a CJ7. The rear door is modeled off of a CJ5. The bed is extended to the length of a CJ6 or CJ8 Scrambler. The frame is stretched 36 inches in the middle and 14 inches behind the rear axle. The frame was boxed from the front to to the rear spring perches. It has Dana 30 and Dana 40 axles both are open diffs. The transfer case is a Dana 20. The transmission is a 3 speed. I believe it is a T150. The engine is an AMC 360 from a 1972 Wagoneer. It was rebuilt about 15,000 miles ago. It was bored over. The crank was turned. It got all new bearings, new pistons, new valve guides, and hardened seats. It has an RV cam, an Edelbrock SP2P low rise dual plane intake, and a Holley Street Avenger 570cfm carb. The motor has more than enough power for a vehicle this size. I drove it about a month on the new motor when I broke the input shaft on the old transmission. I then put the heaviest spring in the secondaries of the carb and backed up the timing a little bit to take some of the grunt out of the motor. The Jeep was built in 2009. It got all new floors. There is no rust in the body or frame. The color is Rescue Green from a 2008-2009 Wrangler. The seats are new from Bestop. The seat belts were new in 2009. It has a super thick aluminum radiator, power steering, and front disk brakes. It has a 20 gallon gas tank from an 86 CJ7. The tires are 33 10.50 15 BFG Mud T/A KM2. The fronts have about 5k miles on them and the rears are new. I have no idea how many miles are on the Jeep. It has about 15k since built. Almost everything was replaced at that time. The tub and bed have bedliner throughout. It looks funny in the pictures, because it is a little wet from washing the Jeep. The leaf springs were upgraded to the wider springs from a 76 model CJ7. It has front sway bar mounts on the frame, and I have a sway bar for it. It will need new rod ends and bushings if you plan to install it. I will also include the stock front bumper if you want it. You can see pictures of it on the link below.
This Jeep was my daily driver for almost 3 years. It draws a crowd everywhere you go. You can’t buy gas or go into Home Depot without someone stopping you to talk about it. Since it was my daily driver, it has all of the scratches and dings you would expect of a truck used for that period of time. It runs and drives good. The four wheel drive works fine. Since I had to rely on this as my driver, It hasn’t been thrashed off road since built. The four wheel drive has been used in the snow, pulling trailers out of the muddy pasture, and around the deer lease.
Negative issues: This is no trailer queen, so it has normal dings and rock chips and scratches that you would expect from a driver. There is one good dent in the left rear fender well. I included a picture of it. The speedometer doesn’t work. The gas gauge half ass works half the time. The gauge is new, it needs a sender. While you are replacing the sender, you could replace the oring on it that leaks gas if you overfill it. The oil gauge works, but is falling apart. It needs a new horn switch. You have to hit just the right spot to make it honk. If you romp on it in reverse, it will pop out of gear. Driving sensibly prevents it from happening. The transfer case shifter needs new bushings, but it shifts fine for me, so I don’t worry about it. It has a top and doors that need recovering. I don’t have any pictures of it, but you can see it in the snow video below.
See it run and drive on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5oef9OP4lE
