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 .
UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/02/2022) This has a replacement body, which partly explains its solid looking floors.

“I am selling my 1951 CJ3A. I am the 3rd owner but it has been sitting for over a decade and was told it ran when it was parked. I have replaced most of the wiring, gauges, and gas tank with accurate reproduction. Wanted to restore it and get it driving but ran out of time. Besides what I have changed and the wheels/tires the vehicle is still original as it came off the factory floor. Also still has the VIN plate which is very rare for an old Willys. Asking $8k because of the rarity and original VIN plate.”
UPDATE: Still Available. Was priced at $7500.

This is a reprint of the first page of the March 1963 Jeep News. Notably, it discusses the two main reasons behind the change. 1) Kaiser Jeep was meant to identify the company as ‘one of the growing Kaiser “family of industries”‘. 2) It was meant to align the company with the ‘Jeep’ trademark and insure ‘Jeep’ was applied to the entire line of products around the world.
Blaine spotted the 2A for sale. In the first pic note the jeep sun the background to the right of the pic. It is a late 1950s 2WD Economy Delivery van. Very rare.

UPDATE II: Thanks to Barney for sending this version of the Service Station brochure shown just below. It is exactly the same as the brochure below it, except that this one has a form number of WO-1257 (which almost seems added as an after thought and seems a random number, as I can find no other brochures with numbers near it), where as the other brochure lacks any form number. My guess is that this was a transitional brochure around the time Kaiser was buying Willys Overland assets. T
===================================
Originally published July 4, 2020:
UPDATE: This redone post now shows the four single-page double-sided tri-fold mailers published by the newly established Kaiser Willys marketing team. The first one, “Facts about the Universal ‘Jeep'”, does not have a form number, but the others do. Much of the content is recycled from mailer to mailer.
This Facts About the Universal ‘Jeep’ For Service Stations mailer lacks a form number. It also lacks the KW stamp that is seen on the others. Finally, it labels the f-head as a 72-horsepower engine, while the other mailers have it marked at 75-horsepower. Given the changes, I’d guess this “Facts” brochure was the first one of the four printed:
This The ‘Jeep’ Makes its Roads as it Goes! mailer is marked form KW-1702:
This ‘Jeep’ Transportation for the Oil Industry mailer is marked form KW-1703:
It runs, but may need brakes rebuilt.

“Very original 1950 CJ3A. -Tight L134 Go Devil engine with brand new valves and guides. It doesn’t smoke and has good compression. -Comes with a brand new full brake rebuild kit from Walcks Jeep Parts. -It has a brand new set of bias ply tires. -Body is pretty dinged up from years of use, but it has basically no rust. There is one rust spot the size of a dime on the passenger side. This Jeep is a project. You will have to trailer it home. I’m sad to sell it, but I’m moving, so its got to go. Located in Trinidad, Colorado. Cash only, no trades.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $12,500.
(06/07/2022) Looks in good shape. Only two bolts where the spare tire holder should be installed.

This has some updates. The dual muffler exhaust exits it through the rear cross member.
