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 just picked up this Viasa brochure from Egypt via eBay (along with some other 1 sheet brochures). Note that these rigs are all powered by the Perkins Diesel. I’ve dated this using the legal notice at the bottom of page three that ends in “1969”.
This front page is about 8.5″ x 11″ landscape oriented:
This middle section opens horizontally:
This is the back page:
I could not find dates on these, but the models and designs look very similar to the 1969 brochure, so I can only guess these are from around 1969. Each of these models are similar to the M-series forward control designs.
The “Jeep” Campeardo is reflective of the M-676; just a basic forward control truck:
This “Jeep” Duplex has four doors and a small truck bed, similar to the M-677:
The “Jeep” Toledo is similar to the M-678:
This “Jeep” Furgon has few windows than the Toledo model above, sort of like the M-679:
Given the above posts shows some jeep brochures from Spain, this is a good time to share some sketches from Roberto Flores.
Blaine shared this FREE toddler bed for sale.

“Yellow homemade toddler car bed, extended toy box, really sturdy and well made.”
I’ve missed out on some updates, but for good reason. Our annual family gathering is this weekend, so I’ve been spending, literally, the last few weeks cleaning, organizing and straightening up various parts of the property, including creating a new parking spot for the motorhome.
So, updates will be limited, but I know there are a few readers who will be sending me some items for sale and I’ll get them up as I get a chance.
Meanwhile, I picked up a few more “folk art” jeeps on the cheap from eBay. This one is about 7″ long. It’s missing one roll bar, but who cares. Someone spend some time building this oddity (shown next to a small Surrey for comparison).
I just purchased these two odd ball model jeeps for cheap. I’ll update the post with better picks once I received them.
This early sign just sold at auction for $12,000.
“Scarce Multi-piece SSP (single sided porcelain) signs mounted back to back on the original can have good color and moderate gloss. The display field has small chips with areas of discoloration and lower gloss. The perimeter has small bends, chips and additional discoloration. The reverse is similar with additional chips in the field. The factory can is in good condition with general age-related wear. Marked Ark. Sign & Neon Co. Overall a scarce complete Willys Jeep Vertical porcelain neon sign. 155″ H x 42″ W x 14.25″ D. Condition: 7.75/7.25.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350. This was listed in Loganville, GA, in January of 2024. The price is dropped and is now for sale in Batesville, MS. It looks like the 305 engine was removed, hence the lower price. Thanks to Brad for updating us.
This body appears to be a Parkette style body (with the site swooshes) with a Bobcat type hood, but assembled together as a single drag-like body.
“Has a Ford 9” rear end on it. Pretty heavy so good scrap. I do have a forklift to load on trailer.”

Bill shared this article about a vintage jeep collector in Georgia from last April. The author overuses the “GP” term a little bit too much for my tastes, but the general message is that owner Dane Schoff is having a good time with his jeeps!
