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 .
UPDATE: I had this as a 1978 issue, but I think it may actually be from 1979.
After a year of 20 page newsletters, this one and the next one were cut to twelve pages. This includes an extra flyer advertising jeep equipment. The readers letters section (pg 2-3) contains descriptions of clubs that match my memories of being in a club.
I received the latest issue of Dispatcher Magazine yesterday. In it, John Gunnel discusses Howard Tibbal, his huge circus model, and circus jeeps, while Barry Thomas shares how Henry Ford saved the jeep.
Roberto shared some jeep art he’s done recently. If you are interested in having him illustrated something, you can reach him through http://robertoflores.com.

“We have a 1948 flat fender Willy’s overland wagon. Has a rebuilt 4-71 hurricane engine. Column 3 speed, with the factory overdrive. Original Rearend , and Suspension. I put new KYB shocks all around, since we bought it.
We bought this Willys at an estate sale. The previous owner, own it for 40 years. He loved it, but unfortunately, he passed before getting the rebuilt engine running. It’s been sitting since 1997, undriven. I put all new brake shoes, wheel cylinders, and master cylinder. Has manual brakes. Brand new radiator and shroud. Decent paint, for its age. It is not running. Needs your expertise, This Willy’s comes with all new windows and rubber seals. A few more boxes of parts, and a new exhaust system, not installed yet. Light rust on front floors, solid vehicle, but has rust under the drivers door and below drain holes on sliding windows in back. Great flat fender, for you to put your spin on. We have a clean title on Non Op status

T90 Transmission and D18 tcase shifters all move nicely. F134 engine. The fuel pump and starter works. Engine compression is 100-75-0-60. The valves seem to be moving, and I haven’t looked into it any further. Probably needs soaked and cleaned up after sitting for so long.”
This looks to be a project.

“1947 Willey’s Jeep. It runs just bought it as a project and just haven’t have time.”
Well, I got too busy working on the jeep to write posts about them (and am behind on emails), so updates delayed until probably Friday afternoon or who knows ….. on the good side, I have a plan for the floor, almost finished the seat setup (have to finish other stuff under the jeep first), almost finished the tail light setup, and rebuilt the driveshaft safety loop. Good day for small stuff with plenty more small items to go, such as a YJ sway bar is on the way, so I will be able to install that.
Barry Thomas let me know that this rare CJ-2 #6 has found a new home. Keith Buckley and Brandon from Jeep appear in a video discussing the jeep. Check out the video on Barry’s Farmjeep site:

I purchased this rare Davis Scenic Jeep Tours brochure from eBay. According to the CJ-3B page (which has a brief history of the company), Davis Scenic Tours was launched in 1946. It was eventually sold in 1959. At that time, the name was changed to San Juan Scenic Jeep Tours.
The brochure is 5.5″ x 8.5″ (half sheet of standard page) and folded in half. So, it’s pretty small.
The brochure’s cover photo of the CJ-3B isn’t very good, so below is a pic that shows how the modified-stretched CJ-3B actually looked, courtesy of the CJ-3B page:
This twenty-page issue of Jeep News includes a second advertising flyer, but one focus on special equipment rather than swag.
Blaine spotted this modified jeep on Walker Texas Ranger, season 4 episode 18. My guess would be that it is a 1971 or later CJ-6, but the pic isn’t too clear. Blaine mentioned that the jeep does appear in other scenes, but the only pic he could find was on IMCDB: https://www.imcdb.org/v001243512.html
