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.
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 .
This brochure was published in July 1958.
As I look at this brochure from 1958 and I wonder which Jeep I would choose if I were alive in 1958. I don’t know what I’d buy back then. Knowing what I know now, I’d buy an FC-170 with all the extras (4 spd., PTO winch, etc.) But Willys sold more conventional pickups than the FC’s. What were men looking for in a new truck in 1958? What made more people choose a conventional pickup? Was it too strange for them to drive a truck postured like a van?
In 1971, my older brother bought a Jeepster Commando. I remember looking though the sales brochure at all the different models and watched him decide which to buy. I liked the open Jeeps. Hmmm, CJ-5 or CJ-6? When my dad found out, he stormed down there and made the salesman tear up the contract because he was only 17. I wish he would have co-signed for him instead. lol.
I wonder if that was the beginning of my illness. But, I’d rather buy another Jeep than pay to shrink to find the answer.
