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 .

Having read these posted Willys dealer new letters, i’m surprised of the lack of coverage concerning New Jersey, NYC area. I would think this was a major market, yet no mention.
Thanks! Fascinating.
Thanks for posting this, Dave. The A-Bomb article provides some background that I had not been able to find regarding Willys’ involvement in the Operation Cue field tests, for my article about Civil Defense Jeeps at https://CJ3B.info/Fire/CivilDefense.html
Mike: I’ve got quite a few more, so hopefully NJ will be mentioned at some point!
Carl: Glad you enjoyed it!
Derek: Happy that was helpful. If I run across others, I’ll be sure to forward them.
