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 year’s Northwest FC Get-Together happens August 3-5th in Olympia, Washington. If you have any questions, contact the folks in the ad. It happens this coming weekend!
Russel shared this video article subtitled in English about the Colombian Yipaos.
Jan posted this to her Facebook page. There is an M-38 located inside the “world’s largest truck stop” in Walcott, IA. We drove by that place and, had I known, we would have stopped and taken pics ourselves (that’s what we get for being in a hurry … grrrr).
This random video of the world’s largest truck stop is from a “wheretheheckarethealbans” video.
I just picked this pin up off of ebay thanks to Maury!
There are two more, though not quite as nice, on eBay right now (you can make an offer on them), from a different seller.
This gives a fairly early look at the parts available for jeeps; it’s hard to say how many images it has.

Tom spotted this unusual bed. It appears it can be ordered.

This is my first time seeing a Perfect Jeep and Parts Company catalog. As best as I can uncover, the company was owned by Bernard S. Forman, who, as owner, copyrighted the name and catalog in 1956. It may have been this Bernie who used to live in Chicago and died last year.
This brochure and the company’s location seems to have been pretty close to Berg’s, so they must have been direct competitors. This brochure has 23 pages and is not in good shape.

These are the final scans from Brian Chucha’s catalog (see the earlier scans here). I’ll eventually combine these altogether.
Thanks to Maury, I’ve recently purchased a Con-Ferr catalog from the early 1970s which ought to have a whole lot of interesting content, too. I should have some scans of that in early August.
This seller has five of these early CJ-2A brochures for $10.99. That’s a real good price.

“This lot offers the early Universal Jeep dealer’s brochure/foldout as shown. It measures 8 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches. It measures 34 inches long when opened. This brochure includes 14 pictures of the Jeep doing heavy-duty farm work. The condition is excellent.”
This brochure that Maury spotted highlights both the model “S” and the model “V”. The seller is accepting offers.

This article comes from the 1963 issue of Four Wheeler Magazine. Perhaps more interesting to me than the table, which is utilized for sleeping or as a table is the top. The top was modified to accommodate the table, but I’ve not seen a top that also had the rhombus-shaped rear windows. I believe the bumpers may be from Con-Ferr (or were later sold by Con-Ferr).
Charles shared these photos from Belgium’s 2019 National Day Celebration parade. I’ve also added a Belgium fun-facts video; did you know that 80% of billiard balls come from Belgium?
Below are the pics from Charles. The whole royal family was present for the parade, as this year is the 75th year of Belgium’s liberation. Some thirty old-aged belgian veterans were present (aged between 90 -98 ), each personally greeted by the king. The parade included sherman tanks and about 20 Willys jeeps.
