About eWillys
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.
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 .

I’ve known about the VEEP Jeep Kit, from Hadley Engineering out of Costa Mesa, California, but I recently learned about two additional VW kit jeeps: The Veepster and the SCAMP. However, I’m still not clear what differentiates a VEEP from a SCAMP or a VEEPSTER.
The SCAMP VW KIT was built and sold out of Redding, California, in the early 70s. I found this ad at the TheSamba.com website
Here’s a beautiful 1973 SCAMP (lots of pictures), but I couldn’t say if this is entire stock or not:
E-VEEPSTER: Meanwhile, there is a kit car seller out of Sedona that claimed in 2011 or 2012 to make an E-VEEPSTER. The company appears to have gone out of business. The body of the E-VEEPSTER looks more like a South African Gobex or Badger (especially the windshield) than a VEEP, SCAMP or VEEPSTER.
You can see a very quick clip of a Veepster on Youtube:
According to Youtube, Venus Motors, Electric Car Options and Go Electric came together to build the e-Veepster. A CJ3A Jeep fiberglass replica with a chassis designed with aftermarket VW suspension and the Venus EV Drive System. Kits are available, assembly is available, who says EV’s aren’t available. Many styles to choose from but in Sedona, AZ this is Red Rock 1
Paul discovered this article from 2012 about the discovery of a DUKW near Mussolini’s lakeside home on Lake Garda, Italy. The article calls the vehicle an amphibious jeep, but it better resembles a DUKW.
Short Excerpt from article: A 67-year-search for the final resting place of 24 U.S. Servicemen lost in a tragic accident storming Italian dictator Benito Mussolini’s refuge during the last days of the Second World War may have finally been discovered.
New video footage released yesterday by the Voluntary Association of Lake Garda shows what appears to be the wreck of an amphibious U.S truck which sunk 600-feet to the bottom of the picturesque lake on April 30th 1945 during the operation.
Here’s part of the article: The 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is home to perhaps one of the most appropriate buttons we’ve encountered in the What Does This Button Do? series. Mysterious buttons are rarely spelled out as clearly as the Jeep SRT8’s, or as fun to use.
By spelled out, we mean the whole word, “Launch,” appears on the button to designate the 470-horsepower, all-wheel-drive Jeep SRT8’s Launch Mode. There are no acronyms or guessing with this button. What the button does is also made clearer by the awesome depiction of a drag strip’s starting-line lights, aka a “Christmas tree.”
Here’s an unusual 1954 press photo found by Marc. The driver is Walter Lorch of Willys Motors. The jeep was one of twelve caravan touring through Latin America.
“You are bidding on an original press photo of Willys Jeep Vertical Driving Demonstration Mexico City. Photo has light waving left edge. Photo measures 7 x 9 inches and is dated 3/30/1954.”

“This is a WWII military Jeep trailer manufactured by Bantam in 1945.
It is in very original and complete condition – still in its original Marine Corp colors and markings.
Some rust along front edge where front panel meets the angle iron on front of frame. Some cracks in bed. Has a tailgate modification – but was done with clean cuts straight up and down and real panel still in place for restoration. The best possible tailgate scenario for restoration.
Has all original reflectors, two combat wheels, original lunette set-up, one safety chain, even has one black out light still in place!”

Bob spotted this MB at the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum in Cleveland, Ohio. As he noted, the dents make this look a bit beat up.
Travelphotobase.com not only had a couple of additional photos of the jeep, but it had a ton of other nice photos from the museum: http://travelphotobase.com/u/OH/OHVHA.HTM
