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 .
Buz spotted this pedal car at genuinehotrod.com.
“Hit the trails! This pedal car captures the look of that classic flat-fendered trail runner preferred by all-terrain kids. It’s constructed of durable stamped steel, with smooth-turning pedals and steering, and steel wheels wrapped in soft, knobbed tires. Measures 33 1/2” L x 16” W x 15” H, perfect for kids 3-6 years old.”

UPDATE: Well, I purchased this coloring book last month. Let me save you all some money by telling you that the only jeep in the entire book is the one on the front cover (and that one is obviously already colored)!! Oh well . . .
(08/14/2012) The “Johnny Jeep Coloring Book” from the Merrill Publishing Company #3457 . Copyright 1943. Cover art by Schumacher. It measures 8 /2″ by 11″ and has 48 pages to color.”
Since these are being sold from Norway, they may have originally been made there. They sure are unusual.
“12 jeeps orginal box.Not used. Made Europa 1945. Some minor wasted on the soldiers. L= 6 cm on the jeeps.Wery good order.”
