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 .
This doesn’t have it’s key.
“Vintage Tinplate Military Jeep. Measures approx. 3″ long.
Has a clockwork motor (but no key is present!). I tried testing it with one of my keys and the motor does need a bit of a service as it’s not running properly.
Overall in good vintage condition with some light signs of age/play related wear.”

Joe wrote, “This was the parade entry for the Ft. Miles (DE) Historical Association, 261st Coast Artillery. All the old war horses with military veterans aboard were well received by the thousands in attendance along the parade route.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. Listed as a Wyandotte Wooden Jeep on the eBay ad, a reader points out in the comments it is actually a “U.S. Army Miniature Jeep No. 1262” manufactured by the Wood Commodities Corp. New York City U.S.A.
It’s not in perfect shape, but it’s a neat little wooden jeep.
“NICE WYANDOTTE WORLD WAR II WOODEN JEEP

“Here is a hard to find original advertisement for The United States Rubber Company. This great old WWII era Ad was removed from a vintage 1945 Magazine.

UPDATE: I thought this was in Belgium, but Charles correct me (thanks!).

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The photo of this accident was forwarded by Marc.
“Our dear Grandma Dolores kept everything!
Here, as found in her home is a vintage photograph of a demolished jeep. There is no writing with the exception of the stamp on the back which reads:
“FFC-51-10109 31 MARCH 51
Demolished Jeep:
The Jeep of BB Commander LT Col Elmer Owens, 24th line div, which had been blown up by hitting a road mine in front of a tank of the 5th rct, 24th line div during offensive action in Korea. LT Col Owens receives first aid at right.
US Army photo by SFC Chang (LF)
Staff distribution only–not for publication until released by GHC PIO”
It also faintly says “record” and “file”
Dolores’s husband was a US army photographer stationed in Tokyo, Japan during the Korean War. We will be listing many of the items and photographs he brought back, including photos he took while training.”

Suddenly, a Baby Ruth bar is sounding good!
“This old comic book ad (which ran in publications as a promotion, and measures approximately 6×9 inches) is heavily creased and worn, but I hope it gets a good home! Not a photocopy or more recent reproduction.”

This ad for preformed wire rope doesn’t seem to be sponsored by a particular company (unless I’m missing something?)
“11,000 Jeeps could be made from steel conserved by Performed Wire Rope…
Specifications
Ad is about 7.75 x 11 inches
Condition Note
It’s rather difficult to get the color and the contrast of the original in a scan AND preserve any flaws, which tend to get muted, so this text will describe flaws, if any.
The ad is in good condition. This ad has been carefully removed from an original period magazine. Auctioned as is.”
