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 .
The April 1956 Willys News contains the story below about a Willys Truck that was transformed, using a purpose-built body, into a motor home.
Roberto’s developing these cards. He writes, “These cards have drawings of several jeep models: Size: 15cms. x 12 cms. (5,30″ x . 4,30″). They will be for sale soon.” Contact Roberto through his website: http://www.robertoflores.com.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Last year one of these was sold in segments. I bought one of those segments and I’ve seen some of the others. It’s a rare, pretty interesting book.
“This Product Merchandising Manual was made by Willys Motors Inc and Willys-Overland Export Corporation. This Has a Dated Price List 1955. The Original Binder is in OK Condition ,I Will Never Say Perfect.
I Noticed a Few Sections Missing ,,IE Wrecker , PTO Equipment , Sprayers ,Maybe Those Sections Went To Different Dealers.”
Here’s a neat vintage pin. No idea how old it is. Anyone know?

Naturally she’s driving a GPW. While Willys produced their jeeps in Toledo, Ford produced there jeeps at multiple locations, including Richmond, California.

“Rare and interesting Foward Control Willys 1 ton truck with a 9′ cargo box. Inline six “Hurricane” engine and T-98 four-speed trans. 5:38 gear ratio 4 x 4 + Hi-Low transfer case and PTO winch. Said to be an ex-government truck.
Truck has been restored by an unknown party but appears to be a frame-off. Everything is redone top to bottom. Frame and running gear are clean and freshly painted. Interior is amazing, with fresh vinyl everywhere and even a complete headliner. Needs new door seals. (Available). Has new floor mats. New tires on coated rims. New gas tank. Must have been a ton of money spent on this.
Over $2000. in recent work by me with complete new brakes and tune-up, carb rebuild, etc. Has new electric wiper system that works perfectly. The body is very sraight and I can’t find a hint of rust anywhere, but there was a problem with paint prep, and the new paint is coming off. Will need prep and paint to be perfect.”
