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 .

(03/13/2012) This isn’t 4wd, but it looks like it has a good body and rollcage. This appears to have a mb or gpw body.
“late 40s steel body willys jeep. set up for sbc and turbo 350, has dana 44 with limited slip diff and 410 gear, straight axel front end and leafs all around.. needs eng, trans, wiring, seats, and paint… good starter project $1200 ”

(05/03/2012) If accurate, this would be a slat grille tub with a glove box.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
(05/06/2012) This can’t be very far from me as Pasco isn’t that big of city. I’m leaving town tomorrow, so I doubt I’ll have a chance to check it out. It might have a GPW frame based on the crossmember.
“1943 Willys Jeep. Doesn’t run. Lots of parts to go with it. $1500. Make me an offer. Contact Tom for more info.”
Even contacted me from Norway with a nice bit of history about the Jeepy Pedal Car. Thanks Even!
He writes, “As world war 2 came to a close a Norwegian engineer name Sigurd W. Ødegaard was looking for products he could produce in his mecanical workshop. One day during the summer of 1945 he was watching a military parade with a lot of jeeps when he got the idea to produce a small version of a jeep as a pedal car. A year later he produced his first pedal car, manufacturing them from 1946 until 1952. During this time his company made about 3000 units of this popular car . I was told they cost almost 100$ back then.
These small Jeeps are popular among collectors here in Norway and since Sigurd made them very solid there are still some around. The car is 1/3 scale from the GPW and are all steel with air filled wheels.
I have also heard that Sigurd W. Ødegaard was educated in the US and worked for Mack International Motor Company. At some point he travelled to the US to start production of this pedalcar over there, but returned to Norway after failing to get production going because the Korean War made it complicated to get enough steel for the pedal cars.”
UPDATE: Was $2000. **SOLD**
(09/28/2010) It sounds like this was a regular driver for years.
“CJ3A, civilian model with military hard top. please do not waist both of our times as a tire kicker. it’s a 1952 and i was driving it to work till i seen a small hose busted. very inexpensive and easy to change myself or yourself.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
I’m guessing by the front grille that this is some type of Tri-ang pedal jeep, based on what I can see from the CJ-3B Page. The back is different though. Lots of pics and even a video.
