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: this photo was listed on Ebay.

Here’s a very rare Hamilton pedal jeep.
“This came from the same estate as the great bicycles that I have posted. The condition is very good with no rust or major dents. It is missing only the hood ornament and has a folding windshield. It is all original paint and lettering. This is a rare maker.”
I just purchased this 1947 brochure from eBay. It’s got a few good photos I hadn’t seen.
Commercially produced or home made? The gun ‘pops’ when the gun’s crank is turned.
“FANTASTIC PATINA! THIS JEEP & ARTILLERY GUN are 90% wooden except for metal steering wheel & metal gun “popper” (which WORKS)strip & masonite bottom.
25 1/2 in. long overall. Jeep is 10 1/2 in. x 3 1/2 in x 3 1/2 in.
ORIGINAL PAINT IS 70-80%. Gun “pops” when square crank is tnrned by the nail handle.
HAND-PAINTED NUMBERS, STAR, “USA” & GUN WHEELS. Steering wheel is a replacement as is part of the front seat back.”
What’s mounted to the hood of the front jeep?
“1944- U.S. Marines and jeeps move along a road lined with ammunition cases as they advance to front lines on Saipan.”
This Boise, Idaho, soldier used a swastika image to commemorate a capture.
