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 .

These two items from the San Juan Scenic Jeep Trip business were on eBay, so I snagged them.
This postcards shows a FC Tour Jeep climbing a steep trail.
This tri-fold brochure is undated. It has some good photos and artwork. These first three images show the front side of the brochure.
This is the inside of the tri-fold:
Maury let me know that scans of a 1969 Jeep family brochure (Form 69-12) was posted to earlycj5.com page. There are three particularly interesting things to me about this brochure. Somehow, I never picked up a copy, so I found one on eBay.
1) The red CJ-5 shown with a couple “racing” it is a rare 462 model, perhaps it’s only appearance in a jeep-family-brochure;
2) the brochure doesn’t mentioned the model in the brochure; and
3) this jeep must have been part of a photo shoot (probably not really racing), because this brochure shows two photos of the same shoot and the 2018/2019 Dispatcher Magazine’s article on the 462 shows a third pic of the same jeep and couple.
Before the brochure, I’ll included the Dispatcher Magazine image:
Here is the full brochure as posted by Dave from the earlycj5.com website:
UPDATE: Still Available.
(09/29/2022) Looks like a solid rebuild.

(12/14/2023) It’s a project, but with a pretty good looking body.

“1945 Willys MB – correct serial # range L Head 134 ci. 4 cylinder engine – Borg Warner T84 3 speed manual transmission – Dana 18 transfer case – Dana 25 front axle w/ 4.88 gears – Dana 27 Rear axle w/ 4.88 gears – All new correct reproduction dash/data plates and tags – original steel body with very minimal rust – was an eastern Colorado ranch Jeep most of its life. – I’ve had it for several years and it’s always been stored inside”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $10,000.
(12/24/2022) The body may not be from a CJ-2A and the grille isn’t from a 1946, so unclear how original this is.

“1946 Willy’s Jeep CJ2A Beautiful old Jeep ready to cruise around and enjoy. Paint and restoration were done in the last year. Runs and drives great we just can’t enjoy it as much as it deserves.

(12/09/2022) Appears worth a look. Has some rust. There serial number postfix of 18728 puts this as a 1960, rather than the 1962 year that is listed.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/448475060665544
“Picked up this 1962 willys CJ6 Jeep over the Summer. For a number of reasons, this is a project I am unable to pursue. Odometer shows 8k, probably rolled over once. Has some rust and usuual jeep rot, but in pretty good shape considering. Jeep came from an airplane mechanic and appears to have a good base for a restoration. I was excited to see an original hard top, which I believe are pretty hard to come by. I’ve left the jeep in essentially the same condition I got it, which includes most of the old dudes tools and nik knacks. I think $4000 is a fair price, but feel free to shoot me an offer”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/07/2022) This has some mods, including what looks to be a rear tank.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/520485652996561

UPDATE II: Another carrier to add to the list thanks to Jim. This was a Husky-built tire and jerry can carrier.
=============
UPDATED October 31, 2019: More Tire and Gas Can carriers have been added to this post.
1. Con-Ferr offered various options in it’s 1970 catalog. A few of the mounts were made and sold by Con-Ferr. The pages also include a Bestop Tire Mount and another example of a Kayline tire mount:
2. This page from the 1970s Brian Chucha Catalog provides additional pics of the Kayline and the Con-Ferr carrier options:
3. Best Top Tire carrier from the late 1970s catalog:
This photo was shared by Travis to Facebook. I assume it is a VW with a Jeep front clip.
These two negatives from 1945 might interest GPW collectors.
Bill shared this FC. Looks in good shape.

“… Described as having undergone a cab- and bed-off restoration, with recent paint that’s said to be in very good shape, the Jeep has also reportedly received a new bed floor and hardware, and scored a win in its only car-show appearance to date…”
This truck is currently at $5800. Thanks to Bill for sharing.
https://www.hemmings.com/auction/1957-jeep-other-843526
“A 1957 Willys Jeep Flatbed with a flathead Super Hurricane six-cylinder is what’s offered here, for sale at no reserve. The New Hampshire-based vintage 4×4 was reportedly painted in 2020 and has a “rust-free” body, while the L-head Super Hurricane engine is said to be original, but in need of a tune-up. There are 65,754 miles on the odometer, but the seller notes it was non-functional for a while. The truck’s true mileage is unknown. “It’s time to pass this truck on to another old Jeep lover,” says the seller.”
