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 .

“1943 Press Photo crates of Jeep parts are lifted onto an assembly line, England. This is an original press photo. Somewhere in England — A heavy maintenance company of U.S. Army Ordnance obviously had America’s ability for automotive production in mind when it decided to set up a Jeep assembly line at a depot in England. On a trial order from Army Ordnance Chiefs for the assembling of 2,000 Jeeps they established something of a record within a fortnight — with Jeeps rolling off the assembly line at the rate of one every 3 minutes. Following pictures show how it’s done. Crates of partly assembled Jeeps, just received from the US are being lifted onto the start of the assembly line.Photo measures 9 x 7.25inches. Photo is dated 10-28-1943.
UPDATE: Thanks Scott for the heads up on this one. These Clifford headers have proven popular enough that Larry from Clifford Performance is doing another run of headers. Contact him via the website if you are interested. :https://cliffordperformance.net/store?olsPage=products%2F134-fl-head-jeep-headers&page=3
The following three Newgren brochures have form numbers of N-161, N-162, and N-163. All three focus on different types of moldboard plows. This first brochure shows a plow that utilizes a General Purpose base.
This version of the plow uses a slat base.
This version of the plow uses a Forgy base.
Scott directed me to an article in the October 1976 issue of South Africa’s CAR Magazine. It highlighted the jeeps that Volkswagen, having secured a license from AMC, was building in South Africa. Below is a copy from the article. CAR Magazine still exists; you can find it on Facebook and on the Web.
This image graced the pages of the July 07, 1949, issue of the Los Angles Times. A young Janice Snow rides on a jeep carnival ride while Poki the Penguin accompanied her.
Price is $149.99 (or make offer), but I’ve never seen another one.

“Here is a really cool vintage, Willys Jeep glass ashtray. The ashtray is in good to very good condition. There are no chips or cracks in the glass. There is a little bit of wear to the decal, it is not perfect. The ashtray measures about 5 3/4 inches long, by about 3 3/4 inches wide.”
This hotrodded jeep appeared as part of a Craigslist ad for Sunday morning hotrod meets at the city’s new Uhaul store. You can read the ad here: https://westslope.craigslist.org/pts/d/grand-junction-hotrod-sundays-morning/7191206125.html
As I mentioned a couple days ago, I received some Newgren brochures as part of the Jeep Equipment book I received. The brochures are numbered between Form N-160 (below) through Form N-168, with only Form N-167 missing. I cannot see a reason for them to start at N-160, but they do. I also think that there were other brochures from this line of brochures that I do not have. I will published these brochures over the coming days.
This brochure indicate that the Newgren equipment is tailored for the Monroe Hydraulic Lift.
These ladies were helping raise money for European reconstruction by giving nickel jeep rides.
