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 .
Mike spotted this Marx toy. Looks good for the price.

“Great condition for the age. Some minor rust as seen in pics. See the pictures for more details. Similar items selling on eBay for $70 and more.”

Are you saying this is a newer copy of a Marx version?
John,
“Mike” (aka Vernon) might be right, as the tires are funky on this one. To be honest, yesterday when I posted it I didn’t really care, as I had some kind of bug. But, am feeling like my normal self today.

Upon further review, one of the Marx styles included the tires shown above.

See my post on the one after this. This is correct, not China, Taiwan or Japan. This is an early version but not as early as the one with the “box” steering wheel support, and transitioning to the later, rubber wheel version. These steel wheels are in excellent condition! But not as realistic as the steel wheels earlier. These look like slotted truck wheels. Probably, like the real Jeep Co., they used what they had on hand.
Again, that was Vernon. I guess he is in a mood… I’ve deleted his comment.
From what I gather the metal wheels were the earlier ones. The rubber wheels were later. Along with stuff like battery operated lights and such.
