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 .
It’s missing the rear and one side glass.

Mark and his son Tom have assembled another video with Drew at the Jeep Farm, this time it involves the rebury of a CJ-5.
Marked form FS-F514105, this brochure highlights some of the tool bar implements available for jeeps, including the Rotary Lister Planter, the Conventional Moldboard Middle Buster, The Roatry Bottom Middle Buster, the Field Cultivator and the Row Fertilizer Attachment.
Barry Thomas suggests that some or all of these may be ex-newgren items that, following Newgren’s struggles, Willys-Overland began to market and sell under ‘Jeep’. I’m not as versed as some folks on the individual implements, so maybe someone can confirm this?
One thing is clear to me; Willys-Overland did not devote much marketing resources to this sales effort. These brochures are pretty simplistic compared to many other marketing documents of the time. Maybe there was a small team with a tight budget assigned to try to make something happen with this niche of farming and implements?
Unlike the other brochures in this group of seven, this was the only one-page brochure and it lacked a form number.
This unusual little lighter is engraved with Willys, Packard, and Mack. Kenneth B. Schleicher ran a dealership out of Lehighton, Pennsylvania, for fifteen years. He passed away in 1984.

“1947 Empire tractor, s/n 5184. This tractor runs well. Tires are in good condition. We were told by seller who owned the tractor since the 1960s that the first owner had a custom haying business & the tractor kept overheating pulling a self powered bailer so he installed a McCormick Deering radiator. Sellers family built the 3 point lift & blade to clean barn stalls. Empire tractors were made with same engines, transmission, transfer case, and differential as Jeeps.”
Has a new body.

“The original model of Warn’s iconic electric winches, the Bellview Winch is 8,000 lb rated and was produced by Warn industries until 1974, when it was replaced by the Warn Model M8274, which is still in production today. These winches were popular ad-ons to old Willys Jeeps, International Scouts, Early Broncos, and 4×4 pickups.
The winch works with manually actuated cables that fix to the dash-mounted control panel, and run through the engine bay to the winch and the knife-switch. The cables control the power-in function, the clutch, and a manual drum brake. It is VERY uncommon to find one of these winches with the original under-dash controls (complete with factory WARN blue cables) as well as the control switch.
This winch was a factory option on a barn-find 1974 Bronco, and its serial number shows that it was one of the last Belleview winches to be made at the end of 1974. It would make a great piece to add to a vintage restoration, or use as is on any vehicle, as a similar new M8274 costs around $2500.”
