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 are photos from eBay of a 1960 brochure, though I can’t tell the exact form number. My guess is that it is Form DM60-01, based on this March 1960 Jeep News issue. I had a chance to buy this once on ebay, but missed out on it.
This February 1960 Building Up? Or Down? brochure had some older photos, so I’ve updated them.
Need a new project for 2024 and want something really different? Look no further than this custom stagecoach atop a T-bucket frame.

“Custom stagecoach on T bucket frame, small block ford motor with a three speed automatic. Open to offers.”
Unclear why I haven’t seen this one pop up on FB Marketplace prior to today. Looks solid.

The CJ-5 looks solid. It has a Kelly hardtop. This could be a good price for the right person.

“Tub has no rust. Original drive train works. F-head motor. Starts and stops. Needs gas tank cleaned and new supply line. Mileage unknown. Serious inquiries only. No trades.”
This is likely a 1948. It’s got a rough Porter & Reed hardtop. Body is in tough shape, but does include a 6′ Meyer snowplow.

“1959 fc150. The cab is in ruff shape but workable. Glass is good except for a passenger window that has a crack. The bed is original and so is the tailgate. Both are in good shape with a little surface rust. The frame is also original and in decent shape. Comes with a chevy 307 that need some work. Has the original transmission and transfer case, also comes with an extra transfer case and another t90 transmission but it is top shift. The fenders for the bed are in great shape. Has a clear title.”
Not a whole lot of value here. Appears to have some Cutlas hubs.

“1949 cj-3a for parts, engine stuck, tub is rough. Rolls fine NO TITLE 1000$ obo”
This six-page January 1959 issue of Jeep News is only six pages.
Page one shares dealer news, as does much of page two. Page two (and page six) also has a ‘history’ of the jeep, which at that point was only eighteen or nineteen years old, depending on the start date of 1941 or 1940. Page three devotes a whole page to Jarvis Jeep out of Portland, Oregon. An article on page four tells the story of an FC-170, with an unusual bed, that was used as part of a Christmas tree business. Page seven has a story about an FC-170 out of Hutchinson, Kansas, with a variety of extras. Page eight covers the newly formed Tulare County Four-Wheel Drive Club.
UPDATE: Colin estimates 1949 on this brochure, figuring there were new forges installed for some 1950 products.
I won this odd ball item as part of a 3-item auction where nobody else bidded! This twenty-eight-page Willys-Overland Forge booklet provides some background and highlights about the company’s forging process. My guess, based on the last page, is that Willys-Overland was attempting to find corporate customers that needed parts or other items forged, suggesting that the forge may not have been running at full capacity making jeep parts. There’s no date on this, but my guess is that this was produced around 1950.
This is a second card sent by Chris. There’s no date on it, but given the Surrey top looks in good shape, I’d guess mid to late 1960s. The Tides Motel, still at the same location, sits in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. I suspect the jeep is no longer there …
Chris sent this postcard with a Christmas letter. It shows one of the motor pools and Camp Landing. The postcard describes Army life as “busy” and “never a dull moment”. At the end, the author Bob asks how deer hunting was. It’s dated December 8, 1943. Many thanks Chris!
This looks like a good price.

“1949 cj3a. Chevy 350 (38,000 miles) Turbo 400 transmiss Runs and drives”
This CJ-5 has been rebuild with a fiberglass body and tilt hood.
https://www.jeepwillysforsale.com/1960-jeep-cj5-in-williamsville-ny/
“First time here. I have a CJ5 1960 that is “fresh”. Fiberglass tub and also front clip. So many new parts but everything is new.
Tires, brakes (including nickel lines, Wheel cylinders, Shoes, Stainless flex lines and master cylinder), All Glass, Both seats, Steering wheel, USB Speedometer, plastic 16 gal fuel cell, LED headlights, One wire Alternator, New Carb, New Distributor, new Aluminum radiator, All electrical ( my own DYI), Soft doors on the half cab( I tried), Rough Rider Springs and Shocks (2 1/2 lift). Adorable Half Cab. It has a Satin Red wrap and metal rear corners. This was a “winter project” and I just kept buying new pieces. I am not professional and more of a DYI with a love for cars. It has a “sticky” clutch that seems to work when it wants to. The engine is stock except for the carb, distributor, alternator and radiator. I drove it 60 miles yesterday home from the barn it has been in since finished.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This has a 2A body, so the date and model may be incorrect. The wagon/truck/jeepster front clip fits pretty well.
