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 .
The buy-it-now price is $8.99 for this 10-page Jeep Accessories and Special Equipment Booklet. One item I didn’t know was Jeep approved were the longitudinal rear seats seen on page 4.

“Up for grabs is this vintage booklet for your JEEP. This booklet shows so many fun accessories and special equipment you were able to add to your Jeep. The booklet shows normal wear plus the staples are rusty so they stained the center fold of the booklet.”
This has a new home. I would really like to find the referenced “‘Jeep’ dealer’s Special Equipment Manual” since this is only a partial list. But clear evidence that Kaiser wasn’t pushing the Stratton hydraulic lift.
Hi Dave—not sure if you ever covered this, so if you did please excuse the inquiry. What is the date origins of the circular “Jeep” logo? Is it a Kaiser Willys creation or what?
Barry, I thought about you when I saw this, but then forgot to mention it (we just had our pups fixed yesterday, so things have been busy). I’ll keep a watch out for other special equipment books from that time period.
Mike: That’s a good question. I haven’t covered it. I did some searching and it appears it arrived with the introduction of the Gladiator and Wagoneer in 1962. Willys Overland and Willys Motors tried out emblems over the years, but the 1962 emblem seemed to stick around longer. I was unable to learn whose idea it was or if there was any meaning behind the color choice. Perhaps someone else knows.
Those longitudinal rear seats in the CJ look like the cousin to those in the 1960-1964 Traveller.
Agreed. I’ve seen what could be these type of seats in the back of a few tour-related 1/4 ton jeeps. I always wondered who made them.
