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: **SOLD** Was $15.
The price looks good for this wagon.

UPDATE: Harry Warholak’s father built a Sidewalk Jeep from the plans in Popular Mechanics when he was a kid in Detroit. Ten years ago he restored it. It spent a year at the Chrysler Museum. Now he’s interested in selling it. You can contact him at 586-996-4103 if interested. He’s located in Georgia.
PREVIOUS POST (February 2013): This kids jeep design was published in the January, 1948, issue of Popular Mechanics and available for free at Google. It is powered by an electronic motor. It looks as difficult to build than a standard jeep! The notes added to this particular issue are interesting, too. The top note appears to reference a 1949 Christmas Handbook that might also include these drawings.

“DESCRIPTION: Up for auction is a vintage Tyco Slot Car Track Set — Jeep CJ Snake-Track. The Tyco article number is 86617. The contents are in their original box. This set is from Italy. An incredible, rare find in this condition. The approximate measurements of the box are: 26.25 inches (L) x 17.5 inches (W) x 2.5 inches (H).
CONDITION: The vintage set is “new” and almost completely sealed. The original cellophane seal of this box is torn on one side of the box. Therefore, the set is now “open,” and I cannot call it “new” under eBay’s guidelines. However, the contents have never been played or tempered with, or removed from their slots. The back of the box has a small piece of tape to prevent the cellophane wrapping from ripping further. The box shows minimal ware, with no tears or creases. Overall, an incredible find in this condition.”
