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 .
Looks like a vintage build with some fun art on the back. Is that a brake lever in the center (chrome, bent, and pointed to the front?

(09/19/2020) This old soldier has experienced a transformation into a surrey-like jeep.

“This collectors 1944 / 4-wheel-drive Willys Overland Surrey Jeep underwent a frame-off, nut-and-bolt restoration and is powered by a modern 2.0-liter high-performance OHC Ford 4-cylinder engine backed by a C4 automatic transmission with a shift kit and a Hurst floor shifter. It features a detailed frame and chassis and lots of chrome. This Willy is equipped with a military T18 transfer case with 2-wheel high range and 4-wheel low range, rebuilt front and rear ends with Warner hubs and 3.73 gears, chrome leaf springs with a 2” lift and a 2” body lift. The new all-steel body has not been taken off road or seen rain since it was built less than 500 miles ago.”
There’s no form number or date on this De Luxe Station Wagon brochure. Between the brochure below and this other “DeLuxe” brochure, three different forms of the word “Deluxe” are used: “Deluxe”, “DeLuxe”, and “De Luxe”. So, I’m not sure which is correct?
Though the below brochure is more consistent with its use of “De Luxe”, the brochure itself is not as luxurious in style as the other “DeLuxe” brochure. I also suspect, given this brochure highlights the Hurricane and Lightening Engines, that this is a later brochure than the other DeLuxe brochure.
One other question. On the back of this brochure it shows a De Luxe Station Wagon in red. Was that actually offered? I don’t see it as an option on the back of the brochure where options are listed.
When folded, this is the back of the brochure. You can see the red colored De Luxe Station Wagon.
This shows the brochure opened part way and highlights the engine choices:
This shows the brochure fully opened:
This shows the brochure fully opened from the back:
Speaking of De Luxe wagons, I wanted to share Scott Gilbert’s effort to create a De Luxe looking wagon from his wagon. He was diligent enough to locate NOS cane stickers for the sides, an item stored away for years that was owned by someone on a non-jeep forum. I’m looking forward to seeing how his wagon looks once he finishes the restyle.
No date on this circa 1951 French-Canadian Willys-Overland jeep ad.
Looks like a nice build.

UPDATE: Joe-in-Mesa shared this pic of Ronald Reagan driving Mikhail Gorbachev around his ranch in his beloved Jeep Scrambler. The image was part of a Calendar his parents had.
Four Wheeler Magazine has a collection of photos showing both his CJ-6 and his CJ-8 Scrambler. Not shown in the Four Wheeler pics, but shown at the bottom, is the M-38A1 purchased by the Secret Service.

Well, if you are looking for a special Jeep for your collection and you love Presidential Stuff, then this is the jeep for you. Ronald Reagan’s personal M-38A1 which he owned from 1982 – 1996, before donating it. It’s now in the hands of a collector who wishes to sell it.
This was filmed in July 07, 1954.

This photo from the University of Wisconsin Digital Achrives was taken around 1954 and shows a jeep atop the Lake Mendota Ice, surrounded by fisherman.
Lake Mendota borders the northern side of downtown Madison, Wisconsin. In the early 1990s I lived in Madison for a couple years, but rarely spent much time near Lake Mendota.

This first photo is a closeup from the photo below it. The jeep appears to be a pretty stock MB.
Bill shared this Hemmings link to a story about this 1962 Willys wagon that’s for sale. The seller explains why new wood panel was installed.
LISTING LINK: https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/willys/utility-wagon/2462262.html
“1962 Willys, Utility Wagon, 4 wheel drive. Current odometer reads 47,691 (not likely original), suitable as a daily driver with original “Hurricane” 6 totally professionally rebuilt (46,467miles). Straight through rebuilt transfer case (46,636 miles) Unlike original is very quiet. and later model Jeep all synchro 5 speed adapted to give freeway speeds in 5th gear. Car will do 65 MPH at 2300 RPM, will go faster but why would you? Added Tachometer, column mounted shown in pictures, helps to know when to shift.
New front hubs, All guages work. Front seat shoulder mounted seat belts added in front. Springs have been re-arched to raise to original level. Interior is like new green vinyl with recently carpeted front seat area. Excellent paint inside and out, resides in sunny southern California and has no rust. Wood panels recently added to cover previous wood panel effort *.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2000.
(01/15/2021) This has no powertrain. Looks like a metal body with a fiberglass tilt front clip.

“Jeep CJ5 body has NO engine or transmission was set up for Ford. Dana axles out of a scout they are locked have driveshafts has new 31 inch mud terrain tires mounted on Wagon Wheels also full roll cage mounted to frame has fuel cell mounted in rear new extended leaf springs also traction bars on rear front axle moved forward several inches also fiberglass tilt front end 2 fiberglass race seats MSD ignition box aluminum radiator power control box for ignition and lights an electric fan on radiator don’t miss out on this deal make it a great toy or racer There is no title off-road use only get it before spring so you can get it ready to play for the summer”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
This late ’50s CJ-5 looks like a great candidate to run as is. It’s got early Free-Lock hubs, an Warn Overdrive, and a PTO Winch. The body appears solid as well. The trailer has potential as well (if the bottom is good).
“nice project jeep. had a frame off restoration back in the 90s. lost the keys. clean title has trailer as well that goes with it. was driving until 07. has just sat since. 4000 obo”
