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 .
These are the final scans from Brian Chucha’s catalog (see the earlier scans here). I’ll eventually combine these altogether.
Thanks to Maury, I’ve recently purchased a Con-Ferr catalog from the early 1970s which ought to have a whole lot of interesting content, too. I should have some scans of that in early August.
This seller has five of these early CJ-2A brochures for $10.99. That’s a real good price.

“This lot offers the early Universal Jeep dealer’s brochure/foldout as shown. It measures 8 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches. It measures 34 inches long when opened. This brochure includes 14 pictures of the Jeep doing heavy-duty farm work. The condition is excellent.”
This brochure that Maury spotted highlights both the model “S” and the model “V”. The seller is accepting offers.

Looks like the engine was neatly installed.

“Ford 289 CID V8, four speed manual transmission, 4WD, power steering, front disc brakes, seat belts, new seats. Solid frame. Body in fair condition. The engine runs strong and has good oil pressure.
Rebuilt front axle with all new bearings, seals, and rebuilt locking hubs. Complete rebuild of rear axle with new locking center section, bearings and seals. New front brakes with new rotors, calipers, wheel bearings and disc pads. New rear brakes, lines and wheel cylinders. New master cylinder. New oil pan and pickup tube/screen, gaskets and seals. Distributor replaced. Just tuned-up including new MSD plug wires. Several coats of bed-liner inside body tub. New alternator.
It needs new seals in the transfer case, the shifter adjusted or replaced (sometimes shifter sticks), and the tires are old.
As-is, no warranty. Due to the age of the tires, it will need to be trailered home if you are going more than one mile. No trades.”
An unusual paint color choice (unless the jeep is meant to be camouflaged within camo wearing models), but the jeep itself appears solid.
