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: This was on eBay in March.
(03/19/2020) I’ve never seen one of these. The seller has a variety of jeep-related toys and Willys stuff for sale. The seller also has a variety of toys hanging in his shop.
“Cardboard boxcar USA Army Jeep Little General PUSH l car, circa 1960s, made by the General Box Company in Illinois.
VERY RARE. NOT MANY SURVIVE.
$90.00 OR BEST OFFER”
it should be a willys wagon — they were the original SQUARE vehicle
OK, this is a stretch, but here’s the story. When I was a child in the 1950’s, (some would argue, I still am a child) My Good old Uncle Joe came to the rescue one hot summer day, when I was bored playing with my toys, Unc showed me how to make NEW TOYS out of old shoe boxes. Suddenly my interest was sparked and I began cutting out head lights, grilles Etc to paste on the show box toys. Later that year, I received a Roy Rogers Chuck Wagon playset with a Nellybelle Jeep included. (it looked like a 3B) Well I took my cardboard cutting design skills, and made hard top and snowplow for Nellybelle. I still have Nellybelle to this day. Well, I told it was a stretch, but it related to cardboard toys, and gave me a chance to travel down Memory Lane. By the way, does anybody remember Joe Franklin’s Memory Lane TV show? I’d like to do an updated version one day, Mike Finegan’s Memory Lane.
I am not familiar with the show Mike, but I can only imagine Mike Finegan’s Memory Lane would be entertaining 🙂
I wonder if it came in a “box”?
After seeing this item here and visiting the site, I realized it was someone I’d done business with for 10 years. After checking the site, I bought a nice, 1988 “Checkpoint” brass WW2 Jeep display made for Jeep and dealer employees to put in our showcase.
Mike, shoebox story brought back memories. Growing up in Houston we’d get rains that would fill the street curb to curb. Opportunity to use our model battleships and destroyers. I wanted to upgrade to a Carrier, and went to Rice Food Mkt and got packing crates and made them. Firecrackers wouldn’t damage them like the plastic models lol.
Barney, Yes, memories are great, a kind of back to the future life event, that renews our spirit, especially helpful in dealing with today’s world crisis situation.
