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 .
Someone created this magnet from a vintage Tonka Toy ad. It can be purchased at ETSY.

“$50.00 takes this 1950’s Jeep and Trailer. Original wheels. Trailer and Jeep look to have been repainted. email if interested.”
I never thought of an Autoshow as a good place for kids, but apparently in 2006 DaimlerChrysler was all prepared for them.

“Kids had the opportunity to drive battery-powered mini Jeep Wranglers around a circular track on the show floor, situated next to the full-size vehicle driving courses in the DaimlerChrysler exhibit.”
I had one of these that towed with a string all over the place.
“This is a vintage Tonka DUNE BUGGY WILLY’S CJ-2 style JEEP. This is a nicely engineered rig that has been lifted and has the large Tonka off road tires added.

Here’s a ‘from scratch’ wooden jeep beautifully assembled. Lots of nice detail work.

I ran across this pedal jeep today. I looked through some of the pedal cars at the CJ-3B Page, but didn’t see anything similar. Anyone know what kind it is?
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was on eBay
“JAPAN tin toy vintage Airport Flat Fender Military Willys Jeep baggage delivery car. All original commercial toy includes two carts and the five original pieces of colorful plastic luggage. Friction powered Jeep, front wheel drive, runs smooth and strong. Red, white and blue body color. 16” long (408 mm). c. mid to late 1950’s. Marked made in Japan. Missing nothing. Great vintage American Airline logo and graphics lithographed throughout indicating “AIRPORT SERVICE CAR”.”
I have never seen one of these.
“You are bidding on a 1950’s soft rubber Willys-Jeep utility truck made by the Auburn Rubber company in the U.S.A. It measures 5″ long and is about 2″ wide. It has black wheels and is a light red in color. There are different men’s faces in both the driver’s and passenger windows. It is in good, used vintage condition with a little rust on the wheels.”
Once again, something I couldn’t make up ….
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on Etsy for $40.
” have for sale an old windup toy called the Jumpin Jeep by Marx.. It is tin and from the late 1940’s after the war. It has been well played with and does have quite a bit of rust. The jeep, the front tires and one large tire isn’t that bad and the lithograph design is in good condition with minor rust. There is one large tire that needs to be replaced or repainted. The toy looks as though it was left outside laying on its side with one back tire perhaps in the dirt for some time. The bottom of the toy also shows signs of rust. The key is still present but it has been overwound. It moves a little but I can’t wind it. Overall I would rate it good simply because the lithos are still in pretty decent shape. The size of the toy is 5 1/2″ long about 4 1/2″ tall and 4″ wide from back tire to back tire”
Here’s pictures of a couple other jumping jeeps that realized $210 at auction in 2008.
