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 .

========================
Original post from October 2020: This unusual brochure came from Switzerland. The form number is OFS-9-57-X, with the X indicating it is an export brochure. This brochure contains a surprising amount of text. On the very last page of the brochure is a small image of another brochure, one I haven’t seen (see the very bottom image of this post).
This is the fully opened section of the brochure.
The US and South Korea must have been expecting conflict, as this photo was taken a year after South Korea (The Republic of Korea) formed, but a year. before North Korea attacked the South.

This combat footage begins with footage of the rear of a jeep.

“This 1951 Jeep Willy’s has a ton of work done on it then made its way to the barn and hasn’t had any miles since. It had a new top, new motor, a bunch of work done to brake system, ford 289 v8, plus much more. It runs and drives like you would expect a 1951 Jeep to drive and is an absolute blast. It has been thrash and haven’t been stored outside at all. Title in hand.”
