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 .
I purchased this cool booklet off of eBay. It has some great pics. I’ll share once it arrives.
Dave,
I have a reproduction copy, but this looks like the real thing, based on the dealer stamp. I plan on doing a post at some time about “‘Jeep’ in Conservation” based on this booklet. Would love to hear what you and others might know. Was this part of a larger ad campaign or a one-off event. I’ve done a little research but haven’t found much info. Trying to make good use of my time the next couple of weeks, so I’ll move this project up.
Thanks, as always for sharing.
Barry
When you receive it I am anticipating that it will reference either an event near Zanesville Ohio, or a Farm used as a training center between Zanesville and Granville Ohio
From the opening paragraph – “Rio Grande College Farm, with its 300 acres… in Gallia County, Ohio, was the site….
So. Much. Awesome. Can’t wait to see more inside.
what ? jeep in conservation ? — are you kidding ? — in the old days , people hated jeepers tearing up the landscape ? — that’s what I remember ? — JEEP and CONSERVATION mix like OIL and WATER !!
There were a number of joint conservations projects between organizations like the Sierra Club and West Coast jeeps clubs during the 1960s-1980s. Pacific Northwest clubs to this day do conservation work on trails, clean up beaches, and work with government agencies to preserve and protect our lands.
Thanks for the other insights into this booklet. I’ll be publishing it in full and will share hi res images with anyone who’d like them.

OK – My guess was about 60 miles too far North. I vaguely remembered the location due to having gone there many years ago hunting down Farm Jeep Parts.
I have this brochure at home along with another similar brochure on Jeep operation data.
