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 .
I recently purchased a special equipment binder off ebay. Usually, there are a few interesting brochures inside. This time, it was full of these pink price sheets, like this:
However, thankfully, inside the book there was a second small booklet that did have some brochures, and a few interesting ones.
As an example, I’ve never run across this unusual 4-page McCain Hub Winch brochure.
UPDATE: Here’s a second type of Warn-A-Larm brochure. It is a single page, form #AC1166-20 (maybe 11/1966?).

This is a product I didn’t know existed at one time. According to this four-page brochure, the Warn-A-Larm is a backup alarm device to warn folks when a vehicle is backing. It appears the brochure is from June 1969.

I’ve seen these Tilt-o-meters in various jeeps, but I didn’t know they produced a brochure:
This is a device I’ve never seen. When a vehicle is stuck it brakes the spinning wheel, forcing the non-spinning wheel to spin (and hopefully) un-sticks the vehicle.
This could be worth a look. Unclear if it runs.

“1948 Willy’s jeep. It ran when it was put in storage building 20 years ago. Great garage find. Make this your jeep project.”
There must be some parts value here.

“L 226, side shift T 90 Transmission, and Dana 18 transfer case from an FC -170. The engine turned over when pulled. Comes with stock transmission shift linkages, driveshafts, and hard to find shifter for an FC.”
This may have been a neat rig back in the day. It’s got no engine, but does have an OD.
