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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .

“Dana 18 transfer case and overdrive unit. Both work great removed from a 1962 CJ5. Had the overdrive on my 1952 CJ and went from being able to do 45mph to 57mph. Doing and engine and tranny swap so no longer need it. Overdrive is a Warn unit. It is a factory part not a knockoff. Very rare. $600”

Not sure how much value is here.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(07/17/2016) Not sure if it runs or not. I think the seller is mistaking the transfer case for the overdrive.

UPDATE: Thanks to Alaska Paul, the Goddess, and especially Ming the Wonder Parrot, who I’m told was instrumental in finding seed money to support their winning bid. Ming was worried the bidding might go higher and, to cover the additional cost, he might have to get a job. So, no job just yet Ming, unless you want to fund Knardly Rolls.
And thanks to the other bidders, too. I’m honored by your enthusiasm. And thanks to Ted for coming up with the idea!
Ted Jordan has volunteered to auction his rare 2A brochure to benefit eWillys. His brochure, “Jeep Planning”, is one I’ve only seen come up on eBay once before (in 2013). He is including a newspaper insert, which is also a pretty neat, too. What he doesn’t know, and what remains unannounced to this point, is an epic trip involving a group of Willys nuts. My goal is to drive Rusty on that trip next summer. That means it must be roadworthy in ten months. Can it be done? We’ll find out! More on that trip will be shared at month’s end.
This auction was all Ted’s generous idea. Here’s what he wrote: I have seen these brochures sell for over $100 when they surface so Im hoping some of you early Jeep enthusiasts will dig deep and help to support Ewillys and Dave with a worthy bid and purchase of this great piece of early Willys Literature. Winning bid or purchase payment can be sent directly to Dave at Ewillys and I will ship it for free and get it to you undamaged!!!! Good luck and remember this is going to a great cause so dig deep !!!
As a life long Willys Jeep enthusiast and a huge fan of Ewillys, I would like to try and raise a little money for Dave through an auction or sale of a really cool Willys jeep Brochure. I can only speak for myself, but Im quite sure most of you Jeep guys will agree that Daves site is one of if not the best site for anything Willys related.
The brochure I’d like to donate to the cause is a really early super rare Willys Jeep Planning Brochure. Its about 25 pages long and includes the very hard to find supplemented newspaper section of 6 pages that is most always missing.
The condition of the brochure is excellent to mint with no damage what so ever.
I’ve been collecting Willys Jeep Brochures for a long time and this one doesn’t come along very often if at all. What separates it from most of the others is it really concentrates on all the very early Prototypes, CJ2s, Ag Jeeps, and early CJ2A Farm and Industrial Jeeps. Continue reading
