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 .
Thanks to Jan, we can have a look at the No. 4 issue of the ‘Jeep’ News. It’s unclear when this was published, but late 1947 seems most likely. The name Russ Borg is printed just above the ‘Jeep’ News name, though the H&R Repair Service out of Lohrville, Iowa, is listed on the back as a place to go for a free demonstration. The only reference I could find to Russ Borg was that he was involved with on in the Warner Brother’s movie studio.
Thanks again to Jan for sharing another early Jeep News magazine. This one is titled Milt. Henry’s ‘Jeep’ News. There is a reference to a jeep bought in early 1947, so my guess is that this was published sometime in mid 1947. The jeep-related company advertised on the back of this issue is Lincoln St. Garage, 7 Lincoln St., West Medway, Massachusetts.
I am guessing that based on the reference to right-hand driving, and given that jeep manufacturing was introduced in the summer of 1958 in Australia, that this brochure is likely from 1958.
Here is the front of the brochure:
The is the back when folded:
The brochure opens horizontally at first:
Next it opens vertically:
This may have an MB/GPW body.

“Jeep 4 cyl engine“
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4900.
Listed as a 1948, it looks to have an MB/GPW body.
“Selling a 1948 Jeep Willys CJ2A with a 350 V8 short block Chevrolet engine and four-barrel carburetor in a baby blue color. Runs and drives excellent and is in overall decent condition. It does need a little bit of bodywork. Please see the photos to verify the condition of the Jeep. Comes with a clean title and I have it on hand. Sold as is.”
There looks to be some value here.

“This is a project M38. It came with another jeep that I purchased. It has many of the necessary parts but pretty much everything needs to be done. But, it’s a cheap starting point and it’s an M38 which are getting harder to find. I think that the pictures should answer most questions. No title. Bill of Sale only.”
Andy shared this cut down wagon that looks like a “Tender” wagon. It’s listed as a 1949, but actually looks to be 1960 or later.
