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.
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
Jarek wrote an article about these for the CJ-3B page; some painted ‘gold’ were given to employees. The hood opens and the windshield folds down.
“RARE 1955 to 1962 Willys Kaiser Jeep CJ5 promo model in 1/25 scale. Well scaled with fold-down windshield and opening hood.Has the famous Jeep Hurricane engine. Missing steering wheel. All tires are good including the side-mount spare tire. Overall,not perfect but very nice. Displays well.”
6″ long. Too small.
I agree, Six inches is too small. The one thing I’ve noticed about 1/25 scale models of Jeeps, they don’t appear to be TRUE TO SCALE, always a bit too small compared to other 1/25 scale models. Even with my 1/25 scale plastic model kits (AMT) this was something I noticed. Just as an example, it is stated the above listed model is 1/25 scale and about 6″ long. My AMT 1/25 scale CJ5 is 5″ long, if using the same TRUE TO SCALE, how can that be accurate? Just something I’ve noticed for decades, and being Bob mentioned the subject, I thought I’d expand on it.
I still like it at that size, just not at that price.

You are right. Price is high and Jeep is short. A bad combination.
Solid front and rear axles!
