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 .
Thanks to Gayland for sharing this brochure and much more. I’ve got to go through the rest and figure out a good way to share some info, but I thought this was worthy of it’s own post.
Note: Another firm started up about the same time as Safari-Kar on the east coast.
Cam shared this photo of an Australian MB acting as an impromptu ambulance.
The model is 16″ long. Nice piece.
“This handcrafted teak wood model is an extremely beautiful replica of a World War II Willys jeep with detailed interior and engine compartment. The front wheels move from left to right and wheels rotate.
Model has an extremely detailed interior with gauges, data plates, gas, clutch and brake pedal and has a steering wheel that rotates. The Windshield folds and the hood opens to reveal a detailed engine compartment showing the radiator with fan, top radiator hose, gas filter, battery generator,distributor, oil pump, oil fill tube, carburetor with crossover and air cleaner. It also has a detailed under carriage with exhaust and skid palate.
This hand made model measures 16″ long by 7″ wide and is 7 3/4″ tall with windshield in the raised position.
You will not find a better more detailed model than this. The picture show some dust from the model being on the shelve and I will clean it before I ship.”

Bob spotted this high-end ‘jeep’, that is so high end the name ‘jeep’ doesn’t appear anywhere in its description. I think it’s hilarious that the web page includes the ability to add the jeep to a shopping cart of items. Clearly, I am not among Filson’s demographics, because it is a Seattle company that I’ve never heard of.

UPDATE: **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
The fender solution is unusual. They are curved rather than angular. I wish there was a clearer photo of the whole jeep.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800. Includes a trailer.
“1953 Willy’s (Jeep) For Sale $1800 OBO includes 4×6 utility trailer. 4 Cylinder Flat Head. 3 Speed Transmission, runs but needs some work.

Could be a good price.
“1964 Jeep Willys 2 wheel drive flat fender with the flathead 4cyl. Comes with another frame with 4wd axles if you want it.”
UPDATE: Pics now provided. It’s not a completely unmolested jeep, but still quite stock. Check out those vintage tires. They kind of look like Desert Dog knock-offs.
