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 .
The caption refers to the vehicle as a ‘Jeep’ car.
“This is an original press photo. Down a 160 foot incline on the sand dunes at Cape Henry, a ‘jeep’ car from Fort Story makes the descent with ease during maneuvers training drivers to handle these vehicles over all types of terrain. Should American Soldiers see service in desert lands the training these men receive will be of great value.Photo measures 9 x 7.25inches. Photo is dated 4-22-1942.”

I missed out on these early Warn brochures that sold on eBay. There were two hubcap brochures, also known as “summer hubs”. The third brochure (in yellow) touts the Automatic Warn Hub. According to Hugo Vidal, Warn Industries and Hugo’s company AVM had all kinds of trouble with the Automatic hub, so it was discontinued (possibly in favor of the Warn Lockomatic hub?).
Roving eWillys correspondent Tim Evans braved Hurricane Irma to file this report.
He wrote, “I arrived in Orlando, Florida, last Wednesday (9/6) to attend a conference, but found out late Thursday that it was canceled. That gave me time to visit the Museum of Military History where I found a M38 and a M151 jeep. Then I began a long slow drive home to Kentucky Friday morning, arriving late on Saturday.”
Always good to see people taking their unpaid, completely volunteer, unheralded work as eWillys correspondents seriously. I may have to upgrade his title to Chief Hurricane Correspondent!
Rick reports that there was a car show this past weekend at the Mushroom Festival in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, that included a couple jeeps. My wife would have never seen the jeeps; she would have been all over the bomb!
This six page Warn brochure for the Warn Lock-O-Matic hubs sold for $26 on eBay last week.
I missed out on this Quincy Air compressor brochure model 216-s. It was for sale on eBay last week.
Thanks to eWillys, Bob just picked up this 1964 CJ-3B. He bought it out of Arizona and had Drew from the Jeep Farm replace the bumper. Because he found it on eWillys, Bob is sending Ann and I out to dinner on him. His support has been great over the years, so a big thanks to him and his wife (pictured in the passenger seat below)!
Charles shared this cool photo of M-38A1s readied for airdrops that was posted to http://www.vintagemilitarytrucks.com/M38A1-Willys-Jeep_airdrop-2_warehouse.jpg
Nick spotted these mini jeeps in Tierra Amarillo, NM. Those jeeps make him look big!
He writes, “A rare late summer sighting, Willy the mountain giant ventured down from the pine studded hills admiring various preserved Willys’ in Tierra Amarila, N.M.

Keep back unless you have ice cream bars or Snickers to trade.
This Kelly Manufacturing “Safari” Hardtop postcard was for sale on eBay. I’ve never run across a brochure for this.
