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: Barney nots that this may be the original paint color. That makes me happier!
This was the first chance I had at getting an Al-Toy truck, so I snagged it off ebay in the last few seconds. It seems pretty original, other than the phone number on the side. The truck has a great weight and is slightly longer than the jeeps.
Here it is pictured with my 2 CJ-2A Al-Toys:
Nice find, the paint job gives it a nice vintage look,
Congrats Dave. I agree with Mike. But I’ll take it a step further. That looks like original paint on top of primer, otherwise everything would have been unriveted and separated including tailgate and axles to do as thorough a paint as I’m seeing.
Thanks .. Oh .. I think I am wrong about the paint. I thought that given the writing on the side that maybe someone added a layer of paint (given the peeling). That’s why it’s good to have smarter people than I around 🙂

Did some searching back in my archives and found a photo of Glenn Byron’s Hershey table from a few years back and one of the photos shows a green Al-Toy pickup, and there have been a few that have showed up in the green color, so I believe the green color is original to this truck.
