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 thought I had published this one, but I hadn’t. Much of this issue is about TV shows and a dealer trip. There are a few jeeps on the last couple of pages.
No one bid on these the Jeep News issues last week, so they are once again for sale. You can view them on eBay here:
Below are my links to my scans of each of the ebay issues in case you want to see more (the ebay auctions only show the top fold of the issue).
Derek Redmond of the CJ-3B page believes this vehicle began life as a Mahindra product, then was modified. This is located in France, but the postage is only $3.18.

There were a few different Willys vs. IH Scout brochures released about the same time that this February 1961 brochure was printed. One interesting bit about this brochure is that the DJ-3A is included in comparison agains the 2WD IH Scout. This brochure appears to be 10 pages and is currently priced at $24.50 with $5 shipping.

“1961 JEEP COMPARISON DATA SALES FOLDER / COMPARISON TO INTERNATIONAL SCOUT MODELS / ORIGINAL!! ”
This four-page Go-For-Digger brochure is something I’ve not yet posted. It has a Catalog Number 8162, which might mean the brochure was released August 1, 1962.
These rare brochures advertising after market parts were loosely packed into a 1973 Berens Catalog that I posted back in 2020.
I never tried an offenhauser manifold. I currently have a hi-rise Edelbrock for Biscuit’s V-6.
I assume these would fit on a Willys wagon?
The following roll bars, tow bar, rocker panels, and wide rims were either made by Berens or for Berens for resale.
This undated, 32-page introduction to the Universal ‘Jeep’ is a 8.5″ x 11″ booklet I didn’t have and can’t remember seeing previously. I managed to buy it off ebay for $7. Now, that’s a score!
Note that the final photo shows an early dash, along with JEEP illustrated on the windshield rather than WILLYS.
Here are tow ads directed at existing or potential dealers. The first is from Willys-Overland likely in early 1953 and can be found here on eBay. Note the lack of a CJ-3B within the jeep-family that is shown.
This second one (here on eBay) is reported to have been published in 1956, though it lacks the CJ-6 or DJ-3A, so maybe early 1956? What’s curious is that by this time, the new “Willys Motors” organization had refocused on the “Jeep” brand. So, to see the brochure specifically refer to “Willys”, especially as the car brand was abandoned, is especially odd. This kind of has a recycled feel, as if someone in a hurry re-used an early 1950s ad.
This March 1966 4-page Warn brochure is form number DC-366-25, which I take to mean it was produced in March of 1966.
I can’t remember running across the ad. It’s an unusual one. The title is “That’s the Story from Willys-Overland Motors”, but really that is pretty much the end of the story of Willys-Overland Motors, as the company assets were shortly wound into Henry Kaiser’s company. This must have been produced shortly after the introduction of the CJ-3B. The cartoonish M-38A1 is pretty unusual, too.
