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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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:**SOLD** Was $750.
This is a restored model jeep of some type. I just looked to see if I have plans for this one, but I didn’t find any.
“Hello, I am selling a very unique pedal jeep. It was built in the late 50’s by a craftsman/machinist, partly from scratch and partly using other pedal car parts, which makes it almost like folk art. Has steel and wood body parts, All wood parts are new (but follow original pattern) and has new wheels w/ball bearings. It has a suspension which is unusual for a pedal car, chain drive, and steering via steering gear box which is also rare and unusual. I have not found one like it ANYWHERE, it has been restored in an army jeep theme. Come check it out in person! Would be a really great addition for a collector looking for rare pedal cars, this is more rare than a Garton.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $225.
I’ve seen photos of the Hamilton Surrey Pedal Jeep (mid page ad here) on the CJ-3B Page, but I hadn’t previously seen a Garton version (see info about Garton here).
“FOR SALE: 1970 PINK JEEP PEDAL CAR. I DON’T KNOW IF THIS WAS A BARBIE JEEP OR NOT. ALL METAL, MISSING ONE PEDAL. HAS FRINGED SURRY TOP, AND WINDSHIELD. CAN’T FIND A MANUFACTURERS NAME ON IT, ALSO CAN’T FIND ANY INFO ON IT ON THE WEB.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $250.
This has been repainted.
“Rare vintage toy pedal Willys Jeep. Kids outgrew and it needs to go. Good collectors item. Thanks for looking.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $100.
Another repainted body.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600
Unclear what value is here.
“1948 Willowsy , perfect for ranch, as is no title for $600.00”
I got a chance to scan “The Universal Jeep”, a thirty-two page booklet published by Willys Overland. It was published by Willys-Overland to educate consumers (and dealers?) about the differences between the ‘war’ jeep and the CJ-2A. One of the sections provides some interesting details about the testing done with the CJ-2s. I’ve included that section below.
Here’s an interesting photo showing an early water fording test from the Baltimore Sun archives.
“JEEP GETS WATER TEST: LT JOHN CULLAR, OF OAKLAND, CALIF, TESTS A JEEP FOR ITS AMPHIBIOUS POSSIBILITIES EXPOSED PARTS SUCH AS THE MANIFOLD, THE CARBURATOR, INTAKE AND OIL BREATHER PIPE ARE SEALED AND EXTENDED UPWARD; THUS PREVENTING THE DANGEROUS POSSIBILITY OF SALT WATER SEEPING. LT CULLAR IS A MEMBER OF THE VETERAN AMERICAL DIVISION.”

I *think* the jeep in this photo from the Baltimore Sun archives is tied/attached to a raft and is churning its way across the water while towing another raft. Or am I incorrect?
“Los Angeles, Calif. The amphibian jeep is here shown pulling an anti aircraft gun.”
