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 .

Blaine spotted a discussion at the Ford-Trucks.com forum on Auxiliary transmissions that included the rare Warn Auxiliary Overdrive. A user named “38 Coupe” shared a bunch of smaller Auxiliary transmission documents that included a Parts and Instruction manual for the Warn AO. So, here it is, along with some photos of a Warn unit that was for sale in April of 2015.
I would love to find one of these for sale. Hopefully some day I will find one.
I love all this period after-market stuff and this one is a B.O.A.T. (Big ‘Ol Auxiliary Transmission).
Cool stuff!
THATS GREAT !!! — I DONT REMEMBER THESE ??? —LOOKS LIKE ITS SANDWICHED BETWEEN A FORD ? TRANSMISSION AND DANA SPICER MODEL 20 T-CASE — I HAVE A RARE DANA 20 OVERDRIVE — ITS A RANCHO MODEL — THE ELECTRIC WARNER R-10 OVERDRIVE ADAPTED TO FIT THE REAR OUTPUT ON THE DANA 20 — YOU HAD TO CUT THE DRIVESHAFT TO FIT IT — I’M SAVING IT FOR A LATER JEEPSTER …
Awesome. The more shift levers, the better.
ITS WARNS ATTEMPT AT MAKING A ” BROWNIE ” GEARBOX — I WONDER IF ” BROWNIE ‘ REFERRED TO THE BROWN-LIPE COMPANY ?? — I’VE SEEN THAT NAME ON MY 1948 JEEP TRUCK TRANSFER CASE SINCE 1971 ???
That is what I interpret “Brownie” to mean.
Wow! That’s the most interesting add on I’ve seen. Aside from wanting one I’d love to know how many were sold. I’m guessing even when it was new there was too limited a demand for Warn to keep producing them. Thanks again Dave you hit this one out of the park.
I would guess that some of the limited demand would be the price. I don’t know what the cost was but I’m guessing it was a bit pricey.
I have a warn model number 4396 for sale.
Hi Andrew,
If you’d like to send me a few pics (d@deilers.com), your location, and how much you want for it, I’d be happy to post it for sale on eWillys for you.
thanks,
– Dave
