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 Toledo Blade published this story November 27, 1953. I wish the photos were better. Interestingly, the article doesn’t mention the Zamboni name at all.
Are they rounding up cattle or just clearing them out of the way?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $50.
It’s not perfect, but is a good price.
“Solid aluminum cigarette lighter. Lighter on the hood, cigarette holder under roof. Has attachable trailer that is an ashtray.
This item made by Ges-Gesch, a German company, & was made right after WWII & only sold on U.S. Army bases in Germany.
These aren’t real rare but seldom come on market because sought after by tobacco item collectors.
Trailer tires are missing but in good shape & still displays really well.”
I forgot to share a photo of my 50th birthday cake. Ann declared me ‘older than dirt’ and included some jeeps on it.

This was the first jeep train to go over a repaired bridge at Ledan Chaung. I suspect the first time over was nerve racking!

Press photo that references a “peep” rather than a jeep. It is one of a series of photos showing military maneuvers to demonstrate the Hawaii was safe from attack, even by “hordes of Japanese: soldiers.
“1942- Communications “Peep” set up in a pineapple field during maneuvers in Hawaii.”
