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 .
I ran across this unusual ad for the complete setup for an unusual 4×4 in the February 1964 issue of Four Wheeler Magazine. The prototypes and parts were being sold by Vic Hickey (or he was acting as an agent). Anyone have more information on this? It appears to be a four wheel drive dune buggy.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Here’s an unusual ad that appeared in Radio-Craft magazine.
“This is an original 1944 black and white print ad for the Echophone EC-1 and Jeep.
Period Paper is excited to present a radio-rich collection of advertising and articles from the Radio Craft and Popular Electronics magazine. This collection is chalk full of World War II advertisements featuring radios, electronic tubes, Echophone communications and fantastically beautiful covers. The articles give an insight into Nikola TeslaÕs life and the Worldwide Station Lists that contain a list of usable radio channels.”
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
I think I’ve only seen one other catalog. So these are pretty hard to find.
“19 Pages. Good condition.”
“Collectible 1950’s Jeep/Willys 4 Paper Banner Double Sided Signs 17″ x 12″. I found these signs picking a long closed dealership. Great collectibles for the Jeep/Willys fans. The signs are in very good condition. There is some slight soiling, sun-fading, and very slight tears. The one sign (refer to photos) has the hanging slot torn away. No damage to inhibit displaying in a man cave, business, or garage. They will be shipped flat.”
