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: Was ‘Make Offer’. Now Status Unknown.

You’ll never find this unique piece of Willys equipment in a Special Equipment Catalog. It was featured in the May 1955 issue of Willys News. It has some type of geared pulley system for raising and lowering the scaffolding. OSHA approved? I wonder how many scaffolds they produced and sold . . .
This Acme Newspicture photo shows the first jeep and trailer to enter Slovenia. A soldier demonstrates the field technique for lifting a trailer with a railroad tie so his buddy can change a flat tire. I do not have an exact date this was published, but it can be seen at the fulton history site.
Yeah, it’s a little rough. However, not many of these around.

Lots of information on CJs and FJs in this catalog.
“This is a extremely rare American Motors Jeep dealership parts book BINDER.
It is what sat at the corner of AMC dealerships parts counters. This one is
exceptional. You will NOT see another for sale. roughly 12 pounds & over
2000 pages. Covers mostly 1962 thru 1973 Jeep. No AMX, Matador, Javelin,
JUST JEEPS. Issue date 1972. Take a look at many of the factory
illustrations. All Group Numbers. All Part Numbers. All Series! Alphabetical
index. From Group 1 Engines to Group 31 Pick Up boxes & Stake body it is all
here. I do not specialize in Jeep Series (AMX & Javelin 1968-74 for 30
years) this was part of a AMC Dealership buyout. I had other later model
ones, those sold for $250-$400 a book and it is my understanding they will
be put on CD/DVD. I would expect buyer to put this book on CD/DVD (Adobe
format) also and it will pay for itself 100X over such as my 1967-72 AMC
CD/DVD item 251345562373 has, as have sold over 500 of them. You WILL be the
ONLY person with this rare book & uber rare factory binder to boot. I have
had only a handful of AMC dealership binders in stock from dealer buyouts
in 30 years in business, but NEVER had a Jeep 1962 thru 1973 type like this.
It will be sent to high bidder with mandatory signature confirmation in US.
Good luck!”
