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 on eBay.
This is a cool pair.

Want to build a Pinewood Derby jeep? Check out this ‘how-to’ article from Scrollsawer.com. A pattern is also available there too.
Steve forwarded a picture of the Pinewood Derby jeep his stepson Larry made when he was fourteen. Steve notes that Larry probably got the idea from looking at Steve’s Jeepster.
Anyone else have a Derby Jeep?
Speaking of Lego Jeeps, here is a custom one I found on Flickr.
Chris discovered two custom LEGO kits at Brickmania.

Ted emailed me today from Moab, Utah, with this image of a Tow Mater looking vehicle. It sounds like he is having some fun!
Ted writes, “We took a ride on the Hell’s Revenge trail in Moab today and ran across the tow truck from Cars in downtown Moab… This place is awesome!”
Out of the UK come these unusual metal jeep scultpures. I wish there were better pictures.
Glenn spotted this fun toy.
“Here we offer you a wonderful and hard to find, vintage `late `70ties up to the early `80ties produced, French Tin Plated Jeep Model with Trailer. This set was produced by Joyax in France. Its a genuine model and NO replica. This is one of the last Tin Plated models which was produced. Today these models are difficult to find in such wonderful and crisp condition as the one we offer you here. The model is unused!. The Jeep is a Wind-Up model and comes with the key. The box is like new too. This set depicts a USA Fire Service Car with Trailer. An awesome asset within any Jeep collection or Fire Engine collection. Be keen on this beauty. The scale is about 1:28 Fully made of tin plated and bright lithographed material. A Very RARE find these days. Be keen on this less seen treasure.”
Starting bid is only $.99

For $6,495 I could buy a very nice real jeep, though I’d get in trouble for driving it on a golf course.
