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 is the last of the Jeep News issues from the 1970s and early 1980s that I have. I hope folks have found it somewhat interesting.

Interesting to read, more than 40 years later, We’re still TALKING about fuel economy.
Willys talked about fuel economy in the late 1940s and, before that in the 1930s as this ad shows: https://www.alamy.com/stock-image-1938-us-magazine-willys-overland-car-advert-166997210.html?imageid=CE9FF702-2DD7-4F26-BE0F-E53FD9D14C3F&p=219395&pn=1&searchId=eba6563c7c8f2feed8fdd222a7ae33d1&searchtype=0 … Maybe this was the case in the 1920s also (I haven’t researched it) … I guess there have always been some who were gas-price sensitive?

Yes, there were guys trying to lessen their fuel costs back when has was .25 cents a gallon. Look at the circa 1960 VW and Rambler ads.
Recently I saw a 1914 as for Stutz cars, and they were highlighting something like 12mph and a quart of oil every 100 miles. And Stutz cars were high-end cars, so the owners could likely afford the fuel.
I think when you go back that far, the economy claims have less to do with money and more to do with showing how advanced their engines were.
