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: **Sold** was $2900. See Bob’s comment regarding Benny.
(03/30/2019) Now I’m hungry for a hot dog. My favorite “hot dog” jeep was this surrey with a hot dog setup, also out of New Jersey.
“Benny’s got dog truck great Little business or event truck”
Note the lettering on the door bottom. “umbrella room” I wonder what significance that has, at one time maybe sold hot dogs from a cart under a umbrella?
I found some reference to hotdogs and an umbrella room on Pinterest, but no real explanation (https://www.pinterest.com/pin/390054017697334287/ … description is “Hot dogs in the umbrella room”.
I liked that NJ hot dog Surrey as well. Never could get any other info about the serial number on the Jeep from the seller though.
Another jeep that’s only available to facebook nerds ( no phone number) ,and 1960 ??????
Terry: Yep, I should have thrown a question mark behind that “1960”.
I knew Benny, as a regular customer of the “Umbrella Room”. Here is the information on him: https://www.newjerseyhills.com/hot-dog-benny-at-79-longtime-resident-of-hibernia/article_793ce5b2-aad8-57bd-98e6-2975753609d1.html
Hi Bob,
Thanks for the information on Benny!

Benny’s home of the want mores was the most awesome hot dogs. They snapped when you bit in. They were little tiny sabretts in the casing. Benny made his own onions&sauce and also chili. He would call to me in a big round voice “Hello young man” “Home of the want mores you eat one and you want more” ! He was right. If you brought your pooch along he would throw them a free dog as well 🙂 Miss those days.
He would sit in the jeep and serve them right out the window. The seat would swivel.
Thanks for those memories Adam!
