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 is a device I’ve never seen. When a vehicle is stuck it brakes the spinning wheel, forcing the non-spinning wheel to spin (and hopefully) un-sticks the vehicle.
This year’s Willys Rally happens June 2&3, 2023 at its usual spot in Hueston Woods State Park, College Corner, Ohio. You can learn more here: http://www.mw-willysjeep.com
UPDATE: This post was originally published 12/26/2018:
This article about exploring southern Utah in a jeep was published in the October 1958 issue of Sunset Magazine. You’ll see a nod to Kent Frost’s guide company and a photo of the front of one of his CJ-5s.
UPDATE: Next Weekend is the Spring Willys Reunion.
Art let me know that the 30th annual Spring Willys Reunion will be held May 19-20. This year, it will be held at a new location: the Hilton Garden Inn, North Canton, Ohio.

The Sierra Pack’age’ Trip Tri-Fold brochure was probably printed in the early 1960s. It’s the first time I have run across a California or Sierra Nevada brochure for guided jeep tours. The company is referenced both as “Jeeps, Inc.” and as “Sierra Tours by Jeeps, Inc.”.
This 3rd page only has print on one side. It’s a flyer that was stuck into the brochure.
Captain Scott Montefusco has put together an adventure called The Great American Road Trip. He plans to drive across America in a 1952 M-38 called Little Glory between May 23 and July 26th. His goal is to raise money for Veterans and First Responders.
For inquires to help sponsor this campaign you may contact Captain Montefusco directly at the thecaptain@gartforvets.org or LinkedIn and FaceBook messaging Capt. Scott Montefusco.
He also has a website: https://www.gartforvets.org/

More information:
The sacrifices made by our veterans and first responders can never be fully repaid. They have put their lives on the line to protect our nation and its people, and their dedication deserves recognition and support. That’s why organizations like T2T.org and campaigns like the Great American Road Trip for Veterans exist – to help raise funds and awareness for these brave individuals and their families.

Bill shared this link to a Roxor owner’s review after having owned and driven a Roxor for one year. He seems to be enjoying it!
I just don’t see owning Roxor over owning the Polaris Ranger we have. That rig has been great for farm work.
Here’s another unusual brochure. It’s possible I have another somewhere else and just never posted it. The brochure is from W-10021.
This brochure appears to have been produced by Shaver’s Jeep Sales, meaning it was probably a product offered by this particular dealer. The appear to be replacement seat cushions?
Here’s an unusual rig. Note the three windshield wipers.
