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 .
The June/July 1956 issue of Willys News shared a photo of this mini jeep from Dana Motors in North Sacramento, California.
UPDATE: This post originally featured the press photo at the bottom. Adding to the information, I discovered an article from the May 1956 issue of Willys News discussing how the buffalo were more patiently herded by jeeps than by horses.
========================================
According to this 1951 press release, this jeep was used to round up twelve buffalo. They were shipped to Chicago for an international livestock exhibition. The watermark kind of obscures the jeep.
“You are bidding on an original press photo of Jeep Beside Buffalo in Custer State Park South Dakota. Photo has newspaper marks & waving right edge Photo measures 7 x 9 inches and is dated 11/27/1951.”
Several readers forwarded this story. Rugged Ridge brought a collection of jeeps to this year’s SEMA show. You can see them here. http://www.caranddriver.com/flipbook/fcs-jeepsters-cjs-and-more-the-awesome-classic-jeeps-of-sema#1
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay in 2014.
Looks like a CJ-5 is underneath the train-looking body. The photo is from Manhattan, Kansas. The train is a Deibler Trackless Train.
Here’s an interesting pedal jeep. I haven’t seen a flat bed like this one.

This is worth a look.
“It is a project I got handed down and ever touched. Has been stored inside for 15 years wife says It’s time for it to go and stop collecting dust. Flat head 4 cylinder motor first 1000 takes it am not desperate to sell so don’t low ball me for 66 years old it is in good shape.
