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’m still looking for the 1001 list. You can see the original ad at this link.
UPDATE: this is a follow up to my March 1st post (you’ll note there are some comments from some readers from that day).
I’m ready to order posters. The original was almost 28″ tall by 22″ wide. I’ve decided to make the final version exactly 28″x22″ rather than my initial 18×24 size. The printing is being done by the same folks who printed all our Alaska Or Rust stuff. They do good work. I’ve already received a 18×24 proof and it looks great.
The per poster cost means I would need to charge $20 for each poster. One poster would be $20 plus $5 shipping. Two or more posters means free shipping in the continental US. How does that pricing sound? I plan to order 100 posters, so the supply will be limited. I will be selling them online and in person as I travel around in May and at the Willys Reunion in May.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2000.

Tim shared this photo.
“I just saw this picture for the first time last night. We were at my father-in-law’s house, Edward Gentile, from RI, looking through his old Marine photo album from 1950-54. This picture is him driving on the Marine Base in Cuba checking the outside perimeter in 1951. It looks to be a WWII Jeep. He turns 88 Easter Day.
Sad to say, and hard to believe, but we are now at a point in history where we have not only lost most of our WWII veterans, but we are now even losing many of our Korean War vets. Both my dad and my step-father served during this time and neither is with us any longer.”
That’s some skill right there!

I couldn’t attend this year’s FC Roundup, but Joe-in-Mesa filled in and snapped some pics for us. Thanks Joe!
Joe left and Craig Brockhaus on the right chatting and waiting for the door prizes to be distributed.
Craig shared this Jalopnik article about a modified 1965 Wagoneer that is both retro and a concept.

No updates today. Next updates Sunday. This weekend is the FC Roundup. Craig Brockhaus took this photo. Looks like a good turnout for Friday so far!
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?
