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 .
I found this cool and rare brochure for the ill-fated Sierra Dana 20 overdrive on eBay. It’s printed on 8.5″x11″ paper, so the marketing budget must have been tight (as I understand it, working capital was an early issue, which played a part in the demise of the company). A few years ago there was a post of an article that also highlighted this rare overdrive.
The following instructions and schematics were tucked inside the brochure above:
never seen or heard of this one ( repairing collecting driving crashing willys jeeps since the 60’s ) – I have a rancho borg warner r-10 overdrive for a dana 20 – i’m going to use it on a 1970 jeepster commando , 225 v-6 , t-14 , mod 20 , you have to shorten the rear drive shaft – cant remember the axle ratios ..
From what I remember about the unit, they had a lubrication problem
I probably have that brochure, might have some info in the old 4WD magazines.
Here is and article from FOURWHEELER that mentions the Sierra and some other neat information.

Thanks Blaine … Aahhh .. I had seen that article, because that’s where I learned about the lack of capital for Sierra!
