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 .
If your Meyer hardtop needs doors, here is a pair.

“Selling for a friend, jeep is located in Crescent City.
Built for and raced in 1982&1983 “mint 400 in Las Vegas, Nevada and the 1984 Pro Can-Am series in Southern Oregon.
AMC 304 V8 engine:
Engine was professionally built in Phoenix Oregon. Engine has been balanced, blueprinted, line honed, decked, slabbed, ported, and polished. Bored 10 over. TRW flat top pistons have been fly cut for the proper valve relief. Heads are the highly sought after and coveted pre smog 3196291C small chamber with the dog leg ports. Original factory heads were 58.92 cc with 1.625/2.025 valves. These heads have been professionally reworked per the American Motors “Performance American Style” guide to high performancing AMC engines (original AMC book included). Heads are the 291C 50.60 cc with balanced chambers. Original factory compression ratio was about 7.2:1 Flat top pistons and the small chamber heads now put this engine slightly over 10.4:1. Rods were all balanced and shot peened.Cam is a 274 duration .500 lift hydraulic
Listed as a 1946, the grille suggests it is later than that. The hardtop looks to be for a CJ-5.

“Used was run about 25 years ago”
This has been listed for a while. I include it here as the jeep has one of the rare CJ-5 aftermarket-angled dashes.

The seller has a variety of parts.
“Willys, CJ2A, CJ3A, CJ3B, CJ5, CJ6, jeep trucks, Utility Wagons and more.
I have lots of small used parts that came of of the vehicles listed above. Engines, transmissions, suspension parts, drivetrain parts. Interior parts, Some body parts.
Get a list gathered and email me you wanted items. I’ll let you know if we have them or not.”
In 1954, as part of the newly developed marketing campaign following Kaiser’s purchase of the Willys assets in 1953, Willys Motors created ‘Jeep’ Fire engine brochure SX-229-4, the front page of which is seen below (thanks to the CJ-3B page):
This is the front page of brochure Form SX-229-4. The other pages can be found on the CJ-3B Page.
I was able to finally purchase the subsequent version of the ‘Fire Engine’ brochure, Form # W-229-5. It’s essentially the same brochure as the 1954 version, accept they’ve replaced the 3B with a CJ-5 Fire Jeep. The rest of the art work uses the same CJ-3B images from the 1954 brochure.
This 2A has a variety of updates.

“1961 Jeep with plow – runs but needs some work. No title but you can get a salvage title. Call Walt for details [hidden information] – as is, where is.”
This may make a good restoration candidate. The speedometer is wrong for the year.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $450.
Seller doesn’t think this was original to a 1961 CJ-5, but it in fact is a factory hardtop (minus the rust of course).
“Hard top that came off 61 willys Jeep cj5 I don’t think it’s original”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
A reader by the name of Brent has this solid looking CJ-5 for sale. It’s set up for some hunting with the elevated rear seat. It doesn’t have a title, but will have a bill-of-sale.
“For sale is my 1961 Willys CJ-5. Some of the improvements over the last 2 years include new tires (already slimed), installation of Warn winch, custom built high rack complete with cooler storage (cooler not included), water jug storage, removable expanded metal trash can, spare tire holder, and a tilt-up floor. The carburetor has been rebuilt, electric fuel pump installed to prime the existing mechanical pump, hard wired battery tender on the inside wheel well, pertronix ignition (replaces the need for points in the distributor).

Here’s a pretty stock early CJ-5.

“I have a good 56 Jeep project that was sitting in a barn for about the last 30 years. It does not run. Complete and not dissassembled. Very solid body. Will require some rust repair on the right front floor and possibly the left front floor also. This is a project that needs restoration. I was told the engine was rebuilt many years ago and it was driven into the 90s. Bill Of Sale only. Two new front tires. Rolls well for loading. This is a project vehicle that is in good condition for being 65 years old.”
UPDATE: Colin pointed out that this is likely a DJ-5 and not a CJ-5. Besides the points he makes in the comment, you can just make up the passenger rear rim which only has four lug nuts.
Blaine spotted this rare airport-baggage-modified DJ-5 for sale.

“For sale is a jeep was told it was an old military jeep not sure on what year it is was told it was a 46 But couldn’t find the year in the trim tags no title could with a bill of sale asking 650”
A custom stretched DJ-5.
https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/d/houston-jeep-dj5-modified/7360059170.html
“Wow this is cool – what kind of Jeep is this exactly? From Europe? South America? Is this Korean war era? Falkland Islands? Northern Ireland? These are the kinds of questions I get which is a lot of fun. If you don’t like attention, this is not the Jeep for you.
It started out as a retired postal Jeep (DJ5). I’ve since extensively modified it to be of roughly the same dimensions as the rare Willys CJ6. Frame stretched 18” with lots of hand fabricated body modifications, roll bars, etc. Custom safari top (the only top), new seats & seatbelts, Bluetooth stereo. I tossed the tired 4-banger and swapped in a stout Ford 302 & C4 automatic. Engine has 351 heads, 4bbl, new electronic distributor, water pump, radiator, exhaust manifolds, battery, etc. etc. Fairly aggressive cam, sounds great. Way more motor than this light truck needs, but it is fun.
The writing on the door suggests this was a ranch vehicle out of Meeker, Colorado. The Koenig half top looks in good shape.
