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 .
Blaine shared these two ads from the February 1966 issue of Popular Science. The jeep ad appears on page 71 and the engine adapter ad was published on page 227.
This full color print advertisement, was a dramatic change from previous Jeep advertising, featuring a more in tune modern look, women, children along with the NEW V/6 power of the CJ5. This was Kaiser’s marketing strategy to tap modern mainstream America.

Here is a reference to Hoosier on ewillys: http://www.ewillys.com/2013/06/12/1961-truck-pendleton-or-4200/comment-page-1/ I found this because of a mention of ewillys on Binder Planet: http://www.binderplanet.com/forums/index.php?threads/1970-hoosier-machine-products-ad.134907/
And here is a different ad for Hoosier in June 1957 Popular Mechanics, page 28 next to the Warn Hubs ad: https://books.google.com/books? Edgar Hoosier owned the machine shop died in 1966. Scroll down
to find Edgar and Della: http://www.billiter.com/oldjoe/pafg27.htm His wife Della was the bookkeeper.
Great stuff Blaine!
rdjeep: Right???
I still have my 1966 CJ5 V/6,bought it in 1978 for $550.00 with a plow. What a deal that was. I was only 16 years old when I spotted this very Jeep new at Ziggy’s Philip’s 66 Service. From there it went to Al’s Try it you will always buy it, George’s Gulf, plus three more owners before I got it. Many great stories came with this Jeep, save them for another day.
THAT HOOSIER STUFF WAS JUNK , I REMEMBER IT , REAL CHEAPO — IT WAS SOLD IN THE BACK OF COMIC BOOKS , ALONG WITH X-RAY SPECS AND SEA-MONKEYS ..
I STILL HAVE THE 51 W-O SEDAN DELIVERY I GOT IN 1970 — THE PRICE WAS RIGHT — $150 BUCKS , 1 LID AND 5 PURPLE DOUBLE DOMES ..
Hey Wavy, don’t knock the cool sea-monkeys! 🙂
