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 .
TJ spotted this custom built toy jeep.

“Very sturdy built wooden pedal car, heavy, one of a kind.”
Not so much ‘one of a kind’. Maybe for the seller it is, but plans for this build came from an old magazine in the 60’s. When I taught Industrial Arts, my high school class built four of these in teams of three about 13 years ago. Except for the paint job, and various ‘personal touches’, they all looked the same. Some of the parts listed in the plans were obsolete, so had to make do with what we could find. Not so much a pedal jeep as a ‘treadle’ jeep if you look carefully.
Craig,
Good to know. Maybe I have those plans somewhere. I was wondering about the ‘pedals’, as I didn’t see them, but figured the seller *should* know whether it had pedals or not (misplaced optimism on my part I suppose).

My grandfather and uncle built one very similar for me and my brother in the late 80’s. Within the last few years, I stripped it down and re-painted it. I actually have copies of the plans if anyone is interested. Happy to send pics of the wooden jeep and plans to Dave.
Hi Steve,
That would be great! Email me at d@deilers.com.
Thanks!
