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 .
This February 1956 story in Willys News tells the story of an Ohio Willys dealer who tried a creative way to market DJs in his town.

“The jeep is in VERY GOOD condition with a like new roof and rear bench seat.
Dark Green in color.
Original F-Head Hurricane motor with 6 volt electrics and a good battery. The F-Head engine is in excellent condition. It starts right up and runs very strong with no oil burning or leaking from the seals and gaskets.
The engine was rebuilt a few years ago by the person I bought it from. I rebuilt the carburetor 2 years ago.
The body has some scratches and dings and a small dent behind the fuel filler neck, but overall very good for the age. NO RUST.
The roof is about 3 years old and looks like new.
The transmission leaks, probably needs a new gasket.
The overdrive does not currently work, probably because the transmission leaks.
The speedometer does not currently work.
235/75-15 tires with 75% tread and snow studs. Side mount spare tire the same.
Has a Willy’s Jeep dealer “Extension Body ” for the rear of the jeep, very rare. Remove several bolts and the extension comes right off.

Here’s a solid looking early CJ-5.
“This old Jeep runs great.
It is mostly all original. It has the “F” head engine, a hydraulic snow plow and PTO operated winch. The engine was rebuilt in 1993 and the plow and beefed up suspension were added in 1998. It has HI / LOW range, 4 wheel drive, and a three speed manual transmission. The transmission is in great shape and does not slip. There is little rust on the body. The interior seats are in good shape and are not torn. The cab is removable as well. ”
This may be worth a look.

Runs and drives.
“1966 Jeep CJ5.
Color: White (looks like spray paint)
4 wheel drive
V6
Stick Shift- 3 Speed
Winch (not sure if it works)
Tow bar
Roll Bar
Black wheels
Top and doors come off
Cracked windshield and back window
Seats have rips in them
Windows roll up and down
Gauges and lights don’t work. I only drive it on the farm. I haven’t messed with it honestly. It’s probably just a bulb or fuse.
It’s temperamental, but It starts right up and drives most the time.
It needs some cosmetic work, but it’s a fun Jeep to drive around.
I don’t have the time to enjoy it.
This Jeep has been a Farm Jeep for 40 years. It is not in “Show Car” condition. It has mud tires and a winch.
This could be a great restored Jeep or a great Jeep to drive around town. ”

(12/01/2015) It’s a project or parts jeep.
“Bought the Jeep about 6 months ago wanting a new project and I just don’t have time for it. The frame is straight and solid with minor surface rust, the drivetrain is complete. Hurricane 4 cyl (does not rotate), Dana 44 offset rear, Dana 18 transfer case and and the Dana 25 (maybe 27?) front axle, all original. The tub is more or less shot, I was planning to chop it up and make it into a hot rod of sorts but a full restoration would almost certainly require a new tub. The Jeep comes with a good amount of extra parts I had collected to begin the project. The jeep has NO TITLE, the vin plate on the hood is long gone and these things didn’t have the vin stamped anywhere else, but that being the case, once you’ve built it as you desire the DMV can come out and look it over for any vin numbers to ensure it isn’t stolen and then issue a new vin for you to title it under.
Extra parts:
-Dana 20 transfer case in excellent condition
-Dana 44 narrow-track rear from a CJ-5, centered housing, in great shape, unsure of gear ratio.
-Matched pair of narrow-track axles, AMC 20 rear and Dana 30 front from a CJ-5, complete with brakes and steering linkage. Great shape, unsure of ratio.
-GM SM465 4 speed transmission, could use a rebuild but would need to have the mainshaft swapped to mate to the Dana 20 anyway, so a rebuild should be done in the process.
-NP205 transfer case that came with the transmission when I picked it up, not appropriate for this build, but it’s yours if you want it.
– CJ5 Frame that needs to be straightened”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500
(06/09/2014) The driver’s floor board has been pushed forward. I wish there was a pic of that mod.

Perhaps this CJ-5 was the first fringed jeep? The photo was published in the February 1956 issue of Willys News.
The object in front of the jeep is a nibbled out haystack.

Marc spotted this jeep. For some reason the larger version had an unusual overlay on it so it’s not very clear.
