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 .

Here’s a very rare Hamilton pedal jeep.
“This came from the same estate as the great bicycles that I have posted. The condition is very good with no rust or major dents. It is missing only the hood ornament and has a folding windshield. It is all original paint and lettering. This is a rare maker.”
Commercially produced or home made? The gun ‘pops’ when the gun’s crank is turned.
“FANTASTIC PATINA! THIS JEEP & ARTILLERY GUN are 90% wooden except for metal steering wheel & metal gun “popper” (which WORKS)strip & masonite bottom.
25 1/2 in. long overall. Jeep is 10 1/2 in. x 3 1/2 in x 3 1/2 in.
ORIGINAL PAINT IS 70-80%. Gun “pops” when square crank is tnrned by the nail handle.

No toy inside, the but the outside has some great art.

Not perfect, but not a bad price.
“This Jeep is in good condition and only shows a little rust and 2 missing hubcaps as well as a missing horn. Please e-mail first and then I will give you my phone number for texting or calls.”
It is newer, but still would be fun for a kid.

UPDATE: Was $175. **Status Unknown**
Bob spotted this toy at the I-76 antique mall in Rootstown, Ohio.
These pull toy jeep plans were published in the January 1944 issue of Popular Science by C.W. Bertsch.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“Up for auction is a Marx “NELLYBELLE” Willys JEEP. Very old vintage steel toy. About 11 x 5.5 inches. The hood was fastened with nuts and bolts, see pictures for condition.”
Between the headlights and the bantam-like sides, this looks like a Bantam-inspired toy to me.
“Offered is a vintage, 1950’s “Thomas Toys,” military police jeep w/ rare trailer. Trailer is the real value here, no doubt. Chief is approximately 4 inches and overall length while trailer is approximately 3.5″ in overall length. Jeep is missing siren, windshield, figures etc….
Trailer is intact and has seen little, if any use.
Colors are vibrant.
The only discrepancy is that One of four plastic tabs that hold the axle in place are broken. Please see photograph”

Jan’s Victory Toy Jeep
Jan contacted me about a toy his father picked up in Maastricht (Netherlands) at the end of WWII. He didn’t know the history of the toy and asked if I knew. I didn’t know either, but after some research, I learned this toy was called a victory toy and made in the Netherlands following their liberation in WWII. However, what’s not clear is who manufactured these toys. Was it “Victory Toys” or were these ‘victory toys’ made by a manufacturer not of that name?
Victory Toy jeeps and soldiers from the Netherlands. These were part of an auction in 2011. http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/18798/lot/1090/
You can learn more information at these links:
Here are a couple more jeeps
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $150.
Not a bad price.
“Here is a cool antique Hamilton Pedal Jeep. This is all metal. Its pink and is a replica Surrey Jeep that was sold to the resorts in the late 1950 s and early 60s. It still works and is a rare collectible or use it for your little girl or paint it green for your little boy. The Surrey jeep is the rare Pedal Car made by Hamilton. Its a cool vehicle and your kid would be the envy of the sandbox .”
Interesting little toy, but somehow the shipping costs one and a half times the cost of the jeep??? Why pay for expedited shipping?
“HERE IS AN AWESOME 1975 CHUCK WAGON JEEP IN SUPER CONDITION IT IS 100% COMPLETE ALL PIECES ARE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE THE STICKER DECALS WERE ALREADY PLACED ON THE TOYS THE BOX IS IMMACULATE AND THE TRUCK SWEET NEEDS A BIT OF DUSTING OFF AND 1 HEADLIGHT DECAL IS LIFTING A BIT PERFECT SIZE FOR USING WITH BIG JIM, G.I.
