About eWillys
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.
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 .

A service station merchandising contest in 1955 was sponsored by the B.F. Goodrich company. Six cream, blue and red CJ-5s were given away as prizes. The article was published in the May 1955 issue of Willys News.
This February 1961 mailing brochure marked Form No. DM61-02 highlights the advantages of a jeep. This particular brochure has some wear and a stain, so isn’t an ideal example.
If folded, this was the 8.5″ by 5.5″ front page:
And this the back:
The 8.5″ x 11″ interior: If unfolded all the way, this 17″ x 11″ complete foldout:
Curious that the pneumatic jeeps had the tool indents on the passenger side. I believe this photo has been reproduced backward. You can see an example of how it appeared in print in the St. Petersburg Times.

In some cases jeeps were put inside dummy tanks. Here’s a great photo showing a ‘tank’ being dropped onto a jeep.

“1943 Willys – Overland Military Jeep…. This is a project vehicle… Jeep was found under a house, mummified…. Been there since 1968… Had to drag it out… Power train frozen… 4 cyl military motor had been swapped out with a 6 cyl Studebaker somewhere in the early 50’s…. That’s all the old gal could remember…. She said it was running when it went into it’s grave… Some parts are off motor, starter, generator… Does/did it run… No Idea… A family member started to get it running… Pulled tranny & transfer case… Found broken gears in tranny… Bought new,,, Included… Then started on transfer case… found reason for locked power train…. transfer case completely rusted solid… and so ended the repairs to the Jeep…. Have some manuals… included…Tub is in great shape…. No Rust… most all parts from original Military configuration seem to be there…. but you need to see and make up your own mind… This baby needs some TLC…. Jeep does roll but must have all wheels off ground to transport…”
