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 .
It looks like there are three different type of spreaders. I’ve never seen one of these for resale.

Check out the unusual set up on the back of the green CJ-3B. Does that jeep have a rack over the top, too? This postcard shows at least 6 jeeps.
Anyone know anything about the Transport Motor Company (TMC)? Did TMC make the sprayer or is this a private labeled sprayer built by another company? I found one reference to the company on a CJ-2Apage thread.
Here’s a small brochure about the sprayer I bought off eBay the other day.
This is for pickup only.
“As you probably know these are very hard to find in their full form. These are often cut down to size, that is if one is managed to sneak its way out of being completely destroyed which is what is supposed to happen to these signs if they are removed or replaced. Contact me if you have any questions or would like to see additional pictures. This would be available for PICK UP ONLY, however. If you are willing to pay for shipping you will have to secure this on your own, prove the shipping cost, and pay the extra amount.”

Die Vier im Jeep (Four in a Jeep) was the original title of this 1951. It was filmed in Austria. Anyone seen it? I found some neat posters about it. Here’s more on Wikipedia.
“In post-war Vienna, occupied by the Allies, four sergeants representing each of the occupying nations (USA, England, France, Soviet Union)patrol in the same Jeep. One day they are given the mission to capture and arrest a prisoner who has run away from a Soviet war prisoner camp. But when they learn the truth about Karl, the runaway, and Franziska, his wife, they decide to help him instead. The trouble is that the Soviet sergeant is held on a short leash by his superiors. He has strict orders not to let the fugitive slip away and he comes into conflict with his fellow military policemen. In these conditions, Will Karl and Franziska be reunited and live free again?”
You can find Four In A Jeep: Director’s Cut at Amazon.com
I found a variety of posters at comicartfans.com. These were all posted by the owner of the originals, Roy Mann.
Here is an early article that highlights the potential for jeeps following the war. You can see the online version at Google Books. I couldn’t find an issue for sale on eBay.
Roberto spotted this unusual ad at the Advertising Archives website. Searches using Jeep and Willys yields some others as well, but none as unique. There are no indications regarding which magazines published the ad.
This advertisement includes a couple Tonka jeeps with descriptions.
“Great ads from a 1963 W D Gousset Co publication. These ads are over 49 years old and are excellent for framing. Pages are mostly good condition, see scans for details. Measures about 8″ X 11″. Combine orders at the same shipping rate for these ads no matter how many ads you buy at a flat rate of $2.99 in the US, $3.99 Canada & $5.99 Worldwide.”

UPDATE II: Sold, was on eBay.
UPDATE: Two of the three facts I got from the internet were wrong (imagine that, lol), the date it started and the fact it was no longer around. Thanks to Greg for updating us! This plaque was listed on eBay.
Greg wrote, “My name is Greg Peters, President of the Salem Jeep Club. The Salem Jeep Club was started in 1964, and joined the Pacific Northwest Four Wheel Drive Association in 1965, and are still members to this day. Our club at this time has four member families. In our heyday when everyone was racing, we were in excess of thirty families. At this time, we are somewhat active in fighting land closures, and “anti-access” groups. The club has participated for many years in PNW activities. The placque should have a stamped number on it somewhere, thereby identifying the club member it was assigned to.
This placque was supposed to be returned to the Salem Jeep Club upon termination of membership. This is the property of the Salem Jeep Club, and should never under any circumstances be sold. just for information purposes. The T P shown on the teepee was a way of honoring our sponsor “Taggessell Pontiac” and Jeep in Salem, OR..
Anyone know if this is the real deal? I’ve never seen one of these.
