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 .
Maury and I thought this jeep bank was interesting. It is a Willys-Motors-parts-department-themed wagon that is listed as a ‘1953’. It was sold on eBay and now documented at WorthPoint. Anyone seen others of these?

Of course, We’ve all seen these Willys panel delivery models branded with different product names, that’s why they are known as PROMOTIONAL models. What is noticeable about this one, is that the advertising decals, logos are not to scale. (do not fit in the specific paneled area as most of the mas-produced ones I’ve seen) In my opinion, it looks to be a very amateur attempt to replicate a Willys promo Model. I have a few of these myself, one even in kit form 1/25 scale made by Spec-Cast another from Eastwood in Pa with army logos, all within the specified scale logos to fit.
This one does not meet that criteria.
Thanks Mike. It just looked different to me … your points help explain that.
None the less still pretty cool for the average Joe Willys enthusiast
I have several of those. I try to convert them into wagons by cutting rear windows with a dremel. results are so-so. One problem was there is a mold piece that is hard to cut through in the back window.
Jim Lee, as an after thought about using a Dremel, I’ve used a hot razor blade heated over a flame to cut, even better for fine work, a hot Exacto knife blade. Cuts through plastic like butter. With practice, this is an excellent way to make modifications.
