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 .
Most of you have probably seen this, but for documentation purposes, this high-flying kid in a toy jeep made the cover the January 30, 1943, issue of Collier’s Magazine. There are a couple pretty cheap issues on eBay.
Roger Martin shared this Al-toy. Not a bad price.

The November/December 1944 issue of Home Woodcraft featured this “realistic” jeep toy-of-the-year. If you need high resolution versions of this, comment below or email me.
Dan shared this early Gee-I Jeep toy. Someone ought to like this for the price.

“The Gee I jeep is in good condition with all original paperwork box. Rare piece to find. Was made in different years this is the first. You can color the Jeep any color you want.”
A big thanks to Roger Martin for spotting this at an Ohio antique store and giving me first crack at it. He even wrangled 10% off the listed price. Neither Mitch Carter (who came by the hospital to visit dad — thanks Mitch) nor I nor Roger have ever seen one.
Roger Martin spotted this Structo ride-on pumper jeep for sale.

“This is an Antique a Jeep Wiley’s Fire engine. Pick up only.”
Mike spotted a Matchbox retro 2019 jeep wagon on eBay, but the auction has expired. It turns out there is a 2018 truck available through Amazon (and likely other outlets). 1. Matchbox 2018 Truck on Amazon:

Matt spotted this jeep board game set on eBay. The only “jeepy” thing about this is that name, but still kind of neat.

“1941 military Chevy flatbed and 1941 military Jeep Willy’s.”
This 12″-long wood jeep was listed on Facebook. If you are looking for a wood jeep, you might also get one like mine, which is slightly smaller and, as of last year, cost only $30: http://www.ewillys.com/2018/03/16/wooden-toy-jeep/ (you can see mine in this post)

“Oak walnut pine Jeep 12 inches long x 6 inches wide”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $145. I’ve since learned that Sherwood later became Hamilton.
Seller believes this to be a Sherwood pedal jeep, but I’m leaning toward Hamilton. Thanks to Roger for sharing it.
“To the best of my knowledge, this is a sherwood Jeep from the ‘50’s. It does work, but pedals have been replaced with wood.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
The seller on Facebook is trying to figure out a value for these Victory Toys out of the Netherlands. Here’s a post published about these jeeps.
“I’m trying to come up with an approximate value of these two cast iron WWII toy Jeep’s. What I do know thus far is that they were manufactured by Victory Toys out of Holland. I see pictures of them online and more than a few times I see the word rare. If someone could assist me with a fair price for them I’d truly appreciate it. Thank you! Will ship once I derive a price 49420”
At $190 Euros, this isn’t cheap, but it’s a cool toy jeep!
Roger shared both of these.
This is a cardboard ride on jeep that was never opened. I imagine these jeeps didn’t last long. This particular package remains un opened. The seller has a pretty steep price on it.

“UP for sale, I have a vintage 1960’s Little General Ride On Jeep. I can’t believe I have decided to sell this, as I have had it in my collection for over 20 years, and have never seen or heard of another. This is still mint sealed in it’s original bag package, which the package boost 2 toys, ride on Jeep and a free military poncho. Well guess what the poncho is part of the bag and you cut it out.
Toy was produced by General Box Co. of Illinois. The bag measures 40″long and about 13” wide. The toy was offered in the comic book ads of the 1960’s as a full ride on Jeep with a dress up military poncho. Who could forget those ads in the comic books? I remember wanting the Polaris Nuclear Submarine, but there were many others including a tank, spaceship and this here Jeep. They were all constructed of printed cardboard and companies like Honor House products seemed to advertise the heck out of these pieces at $4.98.

UPDATE: TJ spotted one of these Junior MBs for sale in Florida. The original post at the bottom is from 2010.
The Hemmings ad below includes several photos, but it’s not clear to me which of these jeeps is the one for sale (or it’s just a reseller important the jeeps and reselling them). The photos are all from the manufacturer website.

The latter half of this video shows the jeep:
Original Post May 8, 2010: Junior Replicas website. Pretty good replicas for a kids toy. They offer a variety of vehicles besides Jeeps.

The mini-vehicles use a four stroke, 6,5 hp petrol engines and have specially developed mechanics for complete safety and long-lasting enjoyment.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.
Roger spotted this one. Anyone recognize this toy with snow plow and trailer?
“Vintage toy army Jeep with detachable plow and trailer. Solid steel design. Can’t find any manufacturers marks. Looks to be all original. Has toggle switch for headlights maybe?? I don’t know a whole lot about it so if you know more about it please let me know. I am asking $350 but will entertain all cash or trade offers.”
Anyone familiar with these. This is also listed here.

Good price. Somehow, someone reattached the windshield backwards?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. Thanks to Jerry for reminding me that it’s an Oglesby and not an Al-Toy.
It looks in pretty good shape.
“THIS RARE ALLTOY WILLY’S JEEP IS 10.5″ LONG AND 5″ WIDE AND 6″ TALL TO THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD. IT HAS SOLID RUBBER TIRES AND IS IN OVERALL VERY GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS ONE MISSING BRASS HINGE PIN/RIVET ON THE PASSANGER SIDE OF THE HOOD BUT IS OTHERWISE COMPLETE.”

Here’s another example of the same product that shows the box:
Roger Martin spotted this ride-on toy near him.
“The little Jeep is $185 for the toy it’s from an antique shop here locally in Xenia Ohio”
Thanks to Joe-in-Mesa for spotting, then buying/mailing me this great find out of an antique shop. He snagged it for $35. I’m happy with that price. It needs one of the windshield support arms fixed and some repainting, but otherwise it is in good shape.
After doing some research on eBay, I’ve discovered this one is a little different than the ones listed there or on the CJ-3B page. Those all seem to have a central hole in the back that’s used for pulling a trailer (see examples at the bottom of the post). Instead of a hole, this one has two slots (I found one other with two slots).
Looks like it’s been fixed up.
