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 always thought these were mini-terra tires, but they were advertised as “mini-terror” off road tires. I found this ad in the February, 1974, issue of Four Wheeler.
Bob bought this photo at an antique store a couple days ago. Visible in it are trailers, a wagon, and a couple flatties. The sign appears to read “145 e. werrick rd, tel. Valley stream 3638”
After some googling, Bob and I determined there was a Valstrey Service Corporation at 145 E. Merrick in Freeport, NY, which is very close the town of Valley Stream, NY. Further research yielded a newspaper ad out of the Brooklyn Eagle (Jan. 22nd 1950, pg 15) showing the Valstrey Service Corp from the address above in a Willys Advertisement (see below).
Unfortunately, this is missing five pages, but the book totals 56 pages. I’ve never encountered one of these.
“”Willys-Overland Export Corporation”
‘Military Vehicle Program’
Undated but circa 1960s.
Fully illustrated sales brochure.
56 pages, sadly pages 9-14 have been removed. Otherwise in very good condition.”

Ever heard of these? I’ve seen jeeps on two wheels, but not with only two wheels.

I ran across an ad from the 1990s on eBay. A little investigation revealed that the Jeep Tour company still provides tours and is located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
We’ve seen a few of these promos sold on eBay. This is a nice reference piece.
