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 .
UPDATE: The 4-page brochure doesn’t include a DJ-5 or 6, because they didn’t arrive until 1965 (thanks Colin). This may have been produced in March of 1961. International Harvester released their own 40+-page review of the Scout vs. the Jeep a month later. Coincidence?
I scooped this brochure off of eBay. Not the back page the brochure shows the “World’s Most Convertible Vehicles”, yet one of the two DJ-3As pictured has a top. Instead, why not include a DJ-5 or 6?
The seller has several of these available. They are 6 5/16ths” Wide by 2 1/2″ High.

This is a great press photo.
“1940- Ford Pilot Model GP-No. 1 Pygmy, during initial testing after delivery to the U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps at Camp Holabird in Baltimore on November 23.Photo measures approx. 7 1/4″ x 10”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a cool stamp.
“Metal stamp with “The Jeep Family of 4 Wheel Drive Vehicles” slogan. Marked 1694 on one side. Measures approx. 1 3/8” w x 3/4” h. It is used and has ink residue. Please see all pictures for complete description, thanks!”
I thought this was a business card at first, but it is 3.5″ x 8″, so it’s much larger than that. There’s nothing on the reverse side.

“This is an ink blotter advertising James Motor Co. Willys Jeep. It measures 3-1/2″ X 8″.”
This was a Maverick-related Jeep contest award item. Anyone know what this is? Seller doesn’t seem to know.

Danny recently finished the restoration of his jeep (MB?). It only took him two years (“that’s 2 years of hard graft,” he wrote). A recent, unusual storm, in the United Kingdom gave him a chance to snow-test it. Looks like he had fun!

This April of 1946 article in Popular science highlighted the steering mechanism used on the four wheel steel “Circus” jeeps.
UPDATE: I believe Frank is correct. This is Fall/Winter 1975.
