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 $18,000.

Paul’s ‘Goddess’ forwarded me a link about Yale’s Photogrammar website that contains 170,000 photographs from 1935 to 1945 created by the United State’s Farm Security Administration and Office of War Information (FSA-OWI).
One of the neater features shows all the photos mapped by county across the United States. Click here to see it: http://photogrammar.yale.edu/map/

Jan’s Victory Toy Jeep
Jan contacted me about a toy his father picked up in Maastricht (Netherlands) at the end of WWII. He didn’t know the history of the toy and asked if I knew. I didn’t know either, but after some research, I learned this toy was called a victory toy and made in the Netherlands following their liberation in WWII. However, what’s not clear is who manufactured these toys. Was it “Victory Toys” or were these ‘victory toys’ made by a manufacturer not of that name?
Victory Toy jeeps and soldiers from the Netherlands. These were part of an auction in 2011. http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/18798/lot/1090/

(06/07/2014) Here’s a ‘Coca Cola’ themed jeep.
“I am selling my 1978 Jeep CJ7. It is originally from Texas where there is almost no humidity which has kept it rust and rot free. It has an in-line 6 cylinder with 57k on the odm and a manual 3 speed. It has been serviced by my local mechanic and is regularly maintenanced. Garage kept, shifts like a dream and runs like a beast. 4 wheel drive is in perfect working order and has not been in any automobile accidents. The body is pretty much dent free for being all original; not bad for being over 30 years old. Any Jeep enthusiast knows this Jeep is a gem. I have title and am ready to make a deal, although I do not want to part with it. No low ball offers and no trades please so serious inquiries only. This Jeep doesn’t depreciate in value. I have a hard top with doors and also have soft half doors. New tires and red seat belts to match the color scheme. Not my daily driver, never off road, it has only been driven locally to the gym or store and is parked the majority of the winter besides a ride up the street to keep things lubed. Never been bonded, no body work has ever been done or needed to be done. Can be an excellent show car with a new paint job.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2600.
