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 .
This June 1964 brochure shows off both the standard CJ-5 and the Tux Park. I thought the wide array of tops and colors available was interesting.
These photos came from a 1955 jeep family brochure introducing the CJ-5. What’s curious is that several photos show the shackles on the front springs located at the front (see the “mail carrier” photo). As most know, the earliest CJ-5s had shackles in the rear. So, I’m wondering if the CJ-5s in these photos were bodies put on CJ-3B chassis or whether they were prototype chassis.
Here’s an unusual piece. I’ve reversed the first photo so that it is easier to read.
“Up for auction is a RARE ANTIQUE WILLYS-OVERLAND MOTORS STATION WAGON SWEEPSTAKES ORIG CAST MOLD for what appears some sort of folding keychain. Nice reverse image! THIS IS BEYOND HEAVY! Weighing roughly 8-9 lbs.
Measurements: 5″ x 2.75″ x 2.75″ ”

A Willys Jeep Mailer from the mid 1950s for a Mobile Arc unit from General Electric.
“This mailer measures about 8 ½ x 11 inches.
This ad features:

The return Post Card is still attached!
This was tri-folded but it will ship flat in a protective sleeve and backing board.”
This Spicer Ad appeared in the July-August 1944 issue of Army Ordnance. Looks like a Slat Grille is coming over the hill at the top of the ad.
This was on eBay a couple days ago. I was tempted to bid on it, but I figured the money is better spent elsewhere. It sold for $25 plus a $5 more for shipping. Neat brochure!

Here’s an unusual brochure. Note the Desliu tie-in, too.
“Very unusual mailer here! 1963 Jeep sales mailer from Streater Buick, Jeep Division, Lakeland, Florida. Features the Wagoneer, Gladiator, Universal & FC-170 models. Also advertises the new hour long tv show produced by Desilu productions, “The Greatest Show On Earth” appearing on ABC television about the Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Circus. The show uses Jeep vehicles and hence the tie in.”
These two brochures, one from Koenig and one from Ramsey, show two early platforms for installing a rear PTO winch. These brochures were part of a 1947 Willys Overland equipment book.
