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 .
Engine runs, but burns.

“1957 willys complete chassis, the way u see in pictures engine does run but burns oil the back to cylinders the spark plugs are oil soaked…. I’m keeping body with the title… asking 1600… or best offer”
This photo was shared by the Coronado Eagle and Journal on August 27,1959. It shows Lee Tompkins in the driver’s seat demonstrating how the jeep is used by lifeguards.
Has a plow and Meyer half cab. If the engine runs, there could be parts value here. No description provided.

I don’t think these are Renegade rims, but given the rims, there could be parts value on the more complete CJ-5.

“500.00 each firm no less no keys no titles parts machines rough old willys has 4cly trans and drivetrain other jeep has v8 with all running gear pickup in dickson”

“I have a mega-rare 1976 Jeep brand CJ5 half cab hardtop and doors. It fits 1976 1977 1978 1980 1981 1982 1983 CJ5. Can also fit 1975 and earlier models with some modification. It is 100% complete:
I have everything: top, doors, hinges, bulkhead, visors, wiper motor and arms.
This is a Jeep BRAND hard top and doors. Each door window rolls up and down, and is perfect. Door handles operate well.
The lead picture to this ad is the ACTUAL hardtop for sale. The Jeep is no longer available, don’t ask.
Great set for your CJ 5 or 6.
Possible trade trades trading”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $5000.
This has a center seat, early Free-Lock hubs, and a hardtop that I thought was a Koenig, but for which I can find no documentation. Note the way it connects to the side of the cowl. I’ve seen others, but can’t find brochures for this. Someone one suggested it might be a Western top, but I have not documentation on those either.
“nice project jeep. had a frame off restoration back in the 90s. lost the keys. clean title has trailer as well that goes with it. was driving until 07. has just sat since.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
This was Bruce Agan’s plow jeep. It hasn’t moved since he passed.
“Jeep used for snow plowing in the past years. Runs but hasn’t been used in past 3 yrs since my late husband used it for plowing our drive. He parked it at end season 2016, has not been moved since that day. Jeep has been parked in a garage protected from the elements. Comes with a 6ft blade and hard top. For a view of my late husbands work and collection view this link: https://cj3b.info/Siblings/SurreyAgan.html”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300.
Needs work of some kind.
“Full steel cab removed from a 1961 Willy`s Jeep CJ-5. Needs work. Asking $300.00”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
(10/01/2019) This is a parts jeep that’s been disassembled. There’s no fake battery box lid, so I suspect the body is later than 1959.
“1959 Willy’s Jeep CJ6
This is a rare, long wheel base CJ. Similar to the CJ5, except for being nearly 20” longer! It’s a project, but it’s mostly there! I have everything except the axles, engine, transmission, or seats. I have the tub, fenders, hood grille, tailgate, windshield, softtop, frame, and title. Too many other projects, sadly, this one must go.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Could be some value here, but will need some work.
“Lots of new parts needs fuel pump and fuel lines and battery”
No pics of the 2nd CJ-5.

“I have 2 1957 jeeps, both run. They are 4×4 with high and low transfer case. They are both manuals. One has had recent tune up and new valves.. yes there is rust, they are 65 yrs old. The title does say willy’s but not sure how to tell. Do have lots of replacement panels that will come with them.looking to sell or trade, open to all types of trades just let me know what you got. These a very cool projects.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2900.
(10/22/2019) This has a variety of updates. It could use some “additional wiring to make it more street legal”.
https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/pts/d/vancouver-1952-cj3a-wheeler-priced-to/7035422822.html
“This is a cross between a 1952 willys CJ3a and a 1979 CJ5. The body and frame are 1952 with a title and registration in my name in hand to mach. The axles, dontless v6 engine, trans, powerstearing and seats came from a 79 CJ5.
Iv replaced with brand new since I’ve owned it in the last 9 months:
Power stearing box
Power stearing lines
Power stearing pump
Stearing column
Stearing shaft
Stearing wheel
Bikini top
Carboratotor
Fuel pump
Plugs
wires
Cap
Rotor
Air cleaner
Front calipers with pads
This thing runs strong, drives ok on the street for what it is. Great trail rig. It’s got wheel adapters on it to fit newer ford 8 lug wheels. It comes with a set of 33s too that are 5 on 5.5 so you can take the adoptors off if you dont like them. Could use some wiring to make it more street legal, brake lights and blinkers, wipers are inop. body is in fairly good shape, full soft top was new just before I bought it. not cut up or full of rust. Also comes with lots of extra parts. I’m asking $4500 obo”
Needs brakes. Has the KS 0-9 speedo, but it’s missing the needle (not uncommon).

“Willy’s Jeep in good shape. Brakes need bled, but otherwise engine works good, new battery. Always kept inside. Perfect for ranch, hunting camp or weekend projects. Odemeter does not work, so unsure of the miles. No title.”
Anyone recognize the manufacturer or model of this hardtop? I noticed there were several models when going through the archives. Those long doors and the odd roof makes it distinctive. The way the front edges hug the curve of the CJ-5 top also make it distinctive.
1. CJ-5 sold out of Lebanon Oregon in 2013:
2. CJ-5 sold out of Boomton, NJ in 2016:
3. Jeep customized CJ-5/flattie sold out of Oakgrove, Minnesota, in 2018:

This has a curious halftop. It looks like the Jeep-branded Koenig-manufactured hardtop, but in a half-size version. I’ve seen no documentation that this ever existed.

It started life as a 1975 Jeep CJ5 Chassis. As near as we can tell, it was converted when new into a street-sweeper by the PB Loader company (which is still in existence today). Sometime later in life, someone got the bright idea to remove the street sweeper broom and replace it with a 62 inch quick attach skid-steer style snowblower (Ford 715 Model). We understand that the PB loader company made a similar model for airport tug use.

“I have owned this jeep since 1967! Yes, that is correct 52 years! Did a rebuild with the original flat head 4, then modified in 1972 to a 307 Chevy V-8, 4 speed T90 manual trans, Hurst shifter, overdrive, CJ5 front and rear end. Still has drum brakes which work well. I would love to keep it (why not?!) but we are moving later this year and it’s time for her to find a new loving home. Runs great, current motor has approximately 15,000 miles on it.”
Has some mods.
