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 .
Jeepandmedic.com is a great little website that features a French (?) family that is busy collecting jeeps (GPA, GP, Hotchkiss …) and more. It appears to be a total family affair. Their collection of jeep pedal vehicles is particularly interesting. The collection of book titles is worth reviewing as well.
Below are a few of the pedal jeeps. Note the last pic where they are hanging in a garage above what appears to be the Seep covered in canvas.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $50.
Cool Toys!
“These are really great. Late 50’s or very early ’60’s — 3 pieces: 11″ Willys Jeep, 10.5″ Searchlight trailer (complete but insides were rotted so I rewired it and the light works now) & 18″ Troop transport truck”
I never had one of these growing up.
“Antique toy jeep. Approximate age 70 yrs. Original paint. Right tip of front bumper missing/broken off. Pop-up windshield missing. 10.25″ Long X 5.50″ Wide X 3.50″ High.”
Here’s a very unusual Go-Kart/Toy/Lawn mower (strange combo) on Ebay for $9,995 that was spotted by a reader. I did a quick search to see if I could find the museum that houses the other one of these prototypes, but couldn’t find it. I have no idea what this is worth or whether this is really what the seller says it is.
“For sale is a unique Jeep Jr. built by wheel horse for the Jeep company in 1978. Only three were ever made. One is on display in a museum, one is destroyed, and one is sitting in my garage. The Jeep Jr. runs and drives and has been well maintained over the past thirty years. This Jeep is truly a collectors item. This jeep jr was produced as a prototype in 1978 for American motors and is an actual lawn mower. The jeep goes pretty fast up to 25 mph, and even faster if set up right. Perfect for car collector. Can be driven on street or grass….”
Here’s an old Willys Toy Jeep
“Vintage 1940’s Willys Jeep from MARX Toys. Closet fresh. Jeep measures 11 1/2″ long hitch to front bumper, 5 1/2″ wide and 5 7/8″ from wheel to top of windshield. Push on the steering wheel and the horn honks. This toy was definetly played with in it’s day, but very cool…. ”
This could go for a low price if folks don’t know the value of this.
