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 .
Bill shared this short story about a man from South Africa who had a life-long dream to own a Willys. FYI: 1 South African Rand is currently equivalent to $17.50 USD. R21,000 = aprox $1,200USD.

Tanner found a set of four of these adapters, but several of us don’t recognize them (Here are some for comparison: http://www.ewillys.com/2017/04/05/dual-wheel-adapters/). They seem closest to the Hickey adapters, but also different front them. Here are the pics:

Dan shared this nice looking CJ-2A with a Kelly 23 series hardtop. This HiBid auction ends with a soft close in 23 days. This does have some unusual looking hubs, which I imagine are just a cover over the original hubs?

This jeep may be worth a look. Is that hitch unusual? It looks like three rods/bolts are holding it in place.

Need some work, but runs. Most likely it’s a 1946.

“Runs,shifts new tires and many new parts but still needs work.”
This may have been a USMC M-170. It is a project.

“Read!!!! Currently not Running!!! Does not Run!!! This Jeep has been built into a great trail rig that would probably also drive well on the road. It has a later model front axle with disc brakes front and rear. Also it has power steering and sway bars that are also great for the street. It has a s10 4.3 engine. I’m currently not getting power at the switch. I’m not the best with electrical. I’m open to trades on dual sport motorcycles and dune buggies possibly a jet boat for the river. I’m going to apply for a title soon”
Bill shared this auction for a Jeepster. Current price is only $200 with 3 days to go in the auction. There’s got to be some parts value here.

Kelly is selling this nice looking wagon with some updates.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3841813846078060
“So last year I decided I wanted another Willys wagon, and I ended up getting 4. We are moving and I am losing my shop space, and I don’t have a good place to store anything, so I have decided to sell the nicest one of the 4. It has a Chevy 327 engine with a TH400 trans. The TC (300) and axles (D44s) are out of a scout. Runs and drives great. The only issue I know of is the fuel gauge does not work. I did not build this Jeep so probably can’t answer all the questions, but I’ll tell you what I know. There is one bad spot in the paint on the left rear fender, I’ll add another pic of it later. I have $24000 into this wagon so I am selling it for a loss. It’s located in Greenville UT. Will not respond to canned “is it available” messages.”
JW added a comment to one of the VIASA posts, which led me to do some googling. I landed on this YouTube video that appears to do a good job sketching the history of VIASA and the vehicles.
I just picked up this Viasa brochure from Egypt via eBay (along with some other 1 sheet brochures). Note that these rigs are all powered by the Perkins Diesel. I’ve dated this using the legal notice at the bottom of page three that ends in “1969”.
This front page is about 8.5″ x 11″ landscape oriented:
This middle section opens horizontally:
This is the back page:
I could not find dates on these, but the models and designs look very similar to the 1969 brochure, so I can only guess these are from around 1969. Each of these models are similar to the M-series forward control designs.
The “Jeep” Campeardo is reflective of the M-676; just a basic forward control truck:
This “Jeep” Duplex has four doors and a small truck bed, similar to the M-677:
The “Jeep” Toledo is similar to the M-678:
This “Jeep” Furgon has few windows than the Toledo model above, sort of like the M-679:
Given the above posts shows some jeep brochures from Spain, this is a good time to share some sketches from Roberto Flores.
Blaine shared this FREE toddler bed for sale.
