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.
“ice plastic 1:40 scale model of the Mahindra MM 540 Jeep. It was also based on the CJ-5 Jeep and its origins are very clearly to be seen. The hood is detachable and for the purists, the stickers can easily be removed. The model comes mint in box and it has a pull back friction engine. Made in India.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
On the back is a screen that has animations. The CJ-3B Page shows a similar, but not the same model: http://cj3b.info/Toys/PoliceToys2.html
“Win this nice one for your collection. Very rare Movie Screen Police Willys Jeep by MODERN TOYS. Has an amazing illuminated and animated screen which rolls through freeway scenes, traffic snarls, the highway patrol on the road & issuing infringement notices. I’ve included a video showing this but it’s pretty out of focus. The toy moves about the floor in a random fashion. Think the light on the front is supposed to flash but isn’t working. This may need some tinkering and another small project would be a new steering wheel and seat base. Too good to be called a toy! Scans and photos are of the actual item & form part of the description.
22.5cm long x 10.8cm wide x 12cm high. 1-2 kilos packed weight. Item No: 800016”
I have been meaning to get a couple FC toys so that the next time I show up at a FC event I can be an official FC owner, even if they are FC-minis. A couple weeks ago I finished up eWillys early, so I trolled through a variety of FC toys on eBay. I came across two low priced, imperfect Corgie FC-150s out of the UK that would fit my minimal budget. I figured if I bid on a couple of them I’d walk away with at least one of them. Instead, I guess no one else wanted them. Thus, I ended up with two FCs.
These toys are a nice heavy weight metal, much heavier than I thought they would be. In fact, they feel heavier than some of the plastic Tonka toys I’ve seen. Both toys could use some TLC, but I think I’ll keep them just the way they are.
Here’s an example of how the FC w/ the conveyer belt ought to look like. Mine works, but the conveyer belt is missing.
Here are some more Corgi Jeep Toys on Flickr, too. Apparently, Corgi made all kinds of vehicles. A wide variety of Corgi vehicles have been photographed and placed on Flickr.
This is working inspection wagon for model train tracks.
“THIS AUCTION IS FOR VINTAGE INSPECTION CAR HO BACHMANN WOOD PANNELLED JEEP WAGON THAT BOUNCES ON THE TRACKS. PLEASE SEE THE PICTURE TO SEE THE CONDITION. I JUST PUT 2 WIRES TO THE WHEELS TO TEST IT BUT I’M SURE IT NEEDS LUBERCATION BEFORE REGULARLY RUN. THE FRONT WHEELS ARE PURPOSELY OFF CENTER SO IT WOULD BOUNCE UP AND DOWN.”

Here’s a neat truck, though I think it is missing a tow assembly.
“This vintage Marx Towing Service Willys Jeep wrecker measures almost 13 inches in length. It’s made of pressed steel. The decals on the doors are marked with the Marx emblem. Through the decal you can make out the word “Willys” which is impressed into the steel beneath the decal. This truck is in used and played with condition. The towing apparatus is missing as is the rear tailgate.”

Need more info or pics please let me know. * I continuously list early Hot Wheels, Matchbox and other brands so please check-in often.”

UPDATE: this is back on eBay
This amusement ride jeep weights sixty pounds.
“Jeep Lovers, this is a fantastic find from the early 1950’s. This red Jeep measures 4 ft long and 2 ft wide and easily accomodates a child up to 10 years of age. All original condition, tires, axles, steering, body, even the chain they used to use to strap us in! The Jeep when it was in use, was connected to a center motor by an arm that moved a gang of 6 different Jeeps in a circle with some steering allowed. This is not a peddle car and doesn’t have any power feature of it’s own. Heavy metal construction. A wonderful piece of childhood nostalgia! Very sturdy, steers straight, (no brakes). Very, very rare! Bid with confidence, you’ll be the only ‘kid’ on your block (or state) with one. Research shows they were made from 1950-1952. See you tube video regarding the Kiddie Jeep ride some guy was rebuilding if you’re interested. Available for inspection at Red Rooster, New Braunfels, TX M-Sat 10-6 while auction is open. Available locally so auction could end early to cash-in-hand buyer. Weighs about 60 lbs.”
