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 .
After a 570 mile journey, Craig nabs himself “the ever elusive FC-170 with the ‘Jeep’ Factory Approved “Trav-L-Aire Camper.” See a brochure about the camper here. You can read more about the purchase at the Forward Control Forum. Congrats Craig.
Here are some exclusive pics:
When’s the last time you saw a drag race between a truck and a wagon? Ron Day forwarded this unique drag race photo from the early 1980s in Tampico, Washington. You may remember the Yakima Jeep Jockey photos he posted on his website. Reader responses were so positive to these, that Ron has begun to spend some time looking through his negatives to see what else he has.
This is a neat little little brochure for the Alexander Bush and Bog Harrow Brochure.
This document outlined the signage rules for Kaiser Willys Parts and Service Departments. Unfortunately only part of it is shown on eBay.
“Original dealer part color sales sheet , 8.5 x 14 , also factory letter describing this sheet . Shows two different Kaiser Willy Outdoor Service Signs .”

No pics provided. Sounds like there might be value here.
“I am cleaning up quickly and thuroughly around here to sell our house and will give you all my Jeep stuff for $1200 ! There is basically 2 flat fender bodies pretty much complete and a CJ5 body complete and a rolling lifted Cj5 chassis with 34″ Swampers . These are reccomended as Bush buggies or parts . There are no tags with the Willys Jeeps but there is tags with the Cj5 although we have lost the papers . It was never in our name and we won’t be wasting our time on that but it was last registed in Langely I think so you can do it and put it in your own name easilly .
I will try to post a pic or two later but if you’re interested you’ll bring a trailer and load up regardless of what pics I might post .”

Here’s a M-151 modified for riot control. I haven’t seen this mod used too often (fortunately).
“This photo originates from the archives of the Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago Daily News, Detroit News, Sport Magazine & Many others. Most photos have never been seen by the public. These photos are not reproductions or reprints.”
Donny wrote me to share this photo of the family’s CJ-6 he came across recently:
He writes, “I came across a picture of my friend driving our 1958 CJ6 in 1974. My granddad bought it new, and it stayed on our ranch in Florida for all these years. Unfortunately, in 2003, it was given away in disrepair. Sure miss it now! I’ve had a Willys truck and a 2A but I miss miss this Jeep most of all! Man that Jeep could pull! The man standing by the Jeep was the greatest man in the world. My Dad”
Here’s a neat brochure. I can not remember running across one of these installed on a truck for sale.
Speaking of weddings, Keith thought we’d appreciate his daughter’s wedding cake. She got married last weekend. Congrats to the bride and groom and a nod to their taste in cakes!
