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 .
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/09/2018) This is a project.

“Show me what you got for Trade or $4500 firm not in hurry to sell 75% built 1981 CJ5 running gear project needs to be completed many new parts.”
It’s plow ready.

“4 wheel drive. Hard Top. 4 cylinder. Plow included!
Good condition”
Tom shared this low-mileage CJ-5. It has a documented history. Seats have been changed to cloth (read story), so at first they look worn, but it’s just the type of material. Overall, it seems in great shape.
http://www.sellajeep.com/mjs/sale18/adm347/adm347.html
“This CJ5 is all original. It has only 39,359 miles. Runs very well and has been driven a couple times a month. The original owner was a lady. I bought it from her in 2014. I replaced the radiator, fuel tank, shocks, leaf springs, heater core, tires, and gave it a tune-up. I only did this to maintain this jeeps integrity and dependability going forward.
Paint is excellent and shines as new. There is some noticeable wear after 43 years. I have taken it to local car shows and everyone is amazed at its condition. The hardcore car enthusiasts tell me over and over to do nothing more to this jeep. It has a documented story, it’s in rare shape, and is shows and runs amazingly well.
This is perfect for the individual wanting a daily driveable jeep or just a weekly joy ride without having to work on it first. It needs nothing mechanically. It is sound and fun to just putt-putt in.
I have a brown soft top, roll bar, rear mounted spare tire rack and owners manual. I also have the poster I had made telling a brief history of the jeep that I use at the shows.”
Ed (ewolsfeld@comcast.net) has got a GM Muncie sm465 with an adaptor for a dana20 and a set of Headers for a cj5. All for $425.00 obo.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300.
“This hardtop comes off of my 63 Tux Park. It’s in good shape with all the glass in good shape and with all the hardware needed to mount it to a CJ5.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
It runs and drives.
“4-cyl.
3 speed manual
6 volt
Starts easy and runs good.
Call for more details.”
Has updates, but sure looks good for the price.

“Cj5
Scout axles
Tubbed frame
4.3 lt v6
Larger gas tank
Automatic
Bikini and full soft top with doors
Runs drives ready for some mud”
This appears to have a PTO, a PTO winch and an overdrive. Could be a good price. It also has what is probably a later model (cj-3a/dj-3a) flathead for some reason.

“Last ran 2 years ago. Previous owner said it had carburetor issues. It is not stuck. Rolls good. It is what it is. No title. Bill of sale only. No plow.”
If you need a cheap fiberglass tub, this might work. This needs a little work, but my tub was WAY worse than this one.
https://westernmass.craigslist.org/pts/d/lee-willys-jeep-fiberglass-tub/6782778158.html
“USED fiberglass tub AND original metal hood. The pictures show the condition of the tub, the hood is not shown in pictures it is inside and hard to photograph. Also have windshield frame.
All for one money 125.00”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
It doesn’t run, but appears to have potential.
“Up for sale is a non running 1957 cj5.
Have 2 motors with parts. It did run awhile ago my grandpa bought it for deer hunting. It was a military surplus jeep. It was sitting in a barn for 15 years and the motor got stuck. Tore that motor apart and it needs to be rebuildt. Bought another motor which welded a bearing so that motor needs work to. I have both of the heads as well as one clean good block which were all gone through by an engine rebuilder and are good to go. Also have a rebuilt starter and a new gasket set as well as new spark plugs. Both motors ran at one point I have all the parts that I took off. I also have a tow bar, and other various parts as well as the title.”
Several months ago a reader purchased a product merchandising manual with over four hundred pages, used by the Willys Motors marketing department. Over the succeeding months, we scanned and assembled this into a PDF. I’m dating it at 1955 because it introduces the new CJ-5. It’s not entirely complete, but there’s lots in it.
I’d like to thank the generous reader for making this available to everyone! I wish everyone the best for 2019!!

(08/19/2018) This is a combination of a 2A and a CJ-5.
https://ventura.craigslist.org/cto/d/port-hueneme-flat-fender-jeep/6734698511.html
“Jeep is a 1963 CJ5 with a 1946 CJ2A flat fender body. Engine is a 3.8l v6 with 3 speed th350 trans. Engine is from a 1978 Buick century (according to block #). rear end is Dana 44 and front is full width Dana 30, about 4″ wider than rear. I believe it has 5:38 gearing, top speed around 45mph. Lots of new parts including: fuel pump, water pump, windshield glass, 4 point harnesses, seat covers, steering shaft/joints. I also built a tube steel sub-frame to mount the body to the frame because the old mounting channels were rusted out and useless. Roll bar is now mounted to sub-frame in the front and not the floorboards.
I have a soft top/doors with all the mounting hardware, windows are foggy but top is in OK shape. Comes with a tow bar and lights. runs and drives great, just got the new tags and have pink slip in hand. Lots of fun, real head turner. Great for trips to the store, beer runs and off course off roading. Not good for freeway or commuting!! I do not/have not had the time to enjoy this so just been sitting except for occasional trip to dinner when I want to look really cool! serious buyers only please, Test drive with cash in hand.
$7,500 obo”

UPDATE: I mistakenly listed this as a 1954 ad. It am told it was actually a 1956 ad.
Andy spotted and bought this 1956 CJ-5 ad on eBay. The jeep has an odd look about it. I think it’s the 1) skinny fenders, 2) thinner than normal hood and 3) odd grille. It makes it feel a little bit like some kind of CJ-4 (though the actual CJ-4 has flattish fenders). The headlights on the grille in the ad look more like 7″ headlights on an MB grille.
For comparison, a 1955 CJ-5:
Powered by Studebaker.

“Very good condition. No rust! 26,000 miles. Hurricane motor. Easy to restore to original”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Jeep lacks brakes and the trencher needs some work. Has a Meyer half cab and a plow up front.
“Here is one of the Holy Grails for the Jeep Collector. The “Jeep-A-Trench.”
I recently uncovered this Jeep from a farm in Winters Texas. The rancher had owned the Jeep since the 1960’s or so. It has the ultra rare Jeep-A-Trench rear end and the front mounted Dozer blade. It is also outfitted with the Arctic top and hard doors. All the glass is good and I even have the back cab glass thats in perfect shape. The seal just dried up.
The Jeep has no found rust through, been in Texas since new. Even the under seat tool box is solid. The Jeep was paint industrial yellow likely when the gear was installed. But the factory original was that nice turquoisey blue.
The Jeep runs and drives but currently has no brakes. The front blade still works and automatic raises and lowers from inside cab. The rear Trencher is all there minus needing a new drive chain and slide on dual sprocket. The unit is otherwise 100% complete.
The Jeep has four new tires and a new battery. I had never even seen one of these Jeeps. There’s a brass data plate that states….”Jeep-A-Trench” on the Jeep. Super cool find.”
Includes a Jeep-A-Trench trencher and a plow.

“This 6′ Meyer plow rig is the original setup for the Cj2a Willys Jeep. It is in complete very nice condition. It should fit Jeeps from the 40’s up to the early Cj5’s from the 60’s. It will be a great accessory for your antique or you can use it to plow your driveway. Please email if you are interested and thanks for looking.”
Maybe someone can use? A new one from Kaiser Willys is about $800 after the oversize shipping fee. This one does have a little notch cut out of it.
