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 .
Thanks to Joe in Mesa for spotting this truck at an antique store for only $50. Usually these are pretty high priced (none on bay right now), so I was happy he found this in reasonable condition. It lacks the tow package and headlights, but I’ll take it none-the-less.
Neat cool deal, that is a great price, lucky guy.
That one is very nice. Glad you got it at a reasonable price.
the questions are — is it a model 2T or model 4T ? — or model 2WD or model 4WD ? — 1/3 , 2/3 seating ? or full bench ? — column shift or floor shift ? — any options like rear pto ? — i have the full size model 2wd , red , and the model 4wd , yellow — both are column shift — my old girlfriend gave me a marx cj-2a ? metal jeep toy and then a framed early jeepster advertisement ” meet the jeepster ” ..cheers
Awesome gift! I bought one recently off Ebay and paid around $160 for it with shipping. Not a great price but I wanted it so I splurged. Goes well with my lineup of CJ2’s
So glad you like it, Dave. While I’m more of a military jeep guy, I thought you’d know what this was and appreciate it ;-). Now if I could just find that original STARR-X Schlitz bottle opener, wall-mounted (my proverbial purple unicorn).
Neat toy. I got two of them and the cj at a good guy meet here in Phoenix
this used the same metal stamped pieces or the box as the marx jeep trailer. almost always missing the tailgate on the trailer.
Are any re-pop parts made for these? I would love to find a tailgate for mine. On mine, the bed is the same red as the cab. The doors say: “Delivery. Service”
Vintage Don, should be easy enough to make, square, cut one out to fit from a scrap piece of metal or plastic, I do this all the time.
That one is in great shape!
Thanks guys! Joe definitely scored one for me on this one!
Don: I haven’t run across any reproduction parts for them, but I think mike is right about making the tailgate. I’d be happy to take detailed pics of the tailgate if that would help.
Yes, I would love to get subs photos to replicate a tailgate. I sent you a private email, Dave. Thanks.
“subs” = “some” above
Hi Don,
I didnt’ get the email, but sent you one. You may have sent it to the ewillys.com account, which no longer works.

Yep, exactly. Re-forwarded…..
excuse me ? but the tailgate doesnt have a W-O on it or the 4wd stencil ( if it was a 4wd model ) … people pay long green for original Willys truck W-O tailgates … they were available to up to the 1953 models … thank you
Just for commentary and information, if in fact you wanted to add a W-O logo to a tailgate you were making for a toy pickup, it can be done easily, by using thin sheet metal. Make a pencil drawing on a tracing paper (onion skin) and then use a sharpened pencil to trace the image over the thin sheet metal. Take you time, it can be done, press hard enough and the W-O image can be pressed into your toy tailgate. This can be fun, and less expensive than playing with big boy toys, epically for senior citizens who no longer have the ability to work on full size vehicles. Creativity to make life work for you.
