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 .

I happened upon this unusual CJ-3B from the Weekly Times in Australia. The paper requests folks send in their ‘paddock bombs’. You can read about this CJ-3B from Bona Vista in Gippsland.

Sebastian writes, “Here are a few pics that my dad took last Saturday on a trip he did to “Puente Pelaez”. This is in Antioquia. As you can see it is a nice rural area where the Willys fits perfectly.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500
There can’t be too many Israeli jeeps in the US. I wonder if there’s paperwork as well?
“We have just acquired a very unique jeep for sale it’s a 1955 Willys M38A1 once owned by the Israeli army. This is an extremely rare vehicle to be imported back from Israel all the markings are correct to the time. It is my pleasure to offer it for sale for $9500 delivered anywhere in the US.”
Here’s a 1947 short story in “The Land” about the importance of the ubiquitous jeep to at least one farm in Australia. http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-page11396417
Buz forwarded these photos showing a WWII jeep at play. He was wondering what the silver vehicle was (see third photo). Is that some kind of jeep from India or Pakistan? My brief searches yielded no clues.
Here are a couple links Matt forwarded related to the pics:

A story about a MB barn find appeared in April at warhistoronline.com. It’s been accompanied by some forum posts with more pics at HMVF.

Magnus wanted to share his beautiful CJ-10. I can’t think of a nicer one I’ve seen.
“Hi! Here is a pic of my CJ-10: 1984,3.3l diesel, dana 45,60,complete restored, probably unusual in usa.”
Is this some type of Hotchkiss prototype?

Claus recently moved from South Africa to Namibia. As part of the move, he drove his restored CJ-2A to his new home. Reminds me of the Southwest.
He writes, “I drove my 48 all the way from Cape Town to my home town of Windhoek along dirt and gravel roads for a total of 1822km (about 1100 miles). Stunning adventure. The first 600km odd km’s up to the border was on tar road and mostly at night. I did that stretch, 589km to be exact in 11 hours with plenty of night driving, but I had to push it to escape bad weather which was following us from the south. The other 1200km odd km were just gravel road and I have a lot of pics. A friend joined me on the trip, didn’t think she would survive as it was wet and very cold at times but we had a blast. My jeep performed so well and I was so proud of her. Went at a slow pace no rush generally we were doing 100miles a day, find a farm were would could camp and off we went again – trip took 7 days.”
A few days ago I featured Norbert’s Campagnola. Norbert forwarded these photos of his Luaz 969, which he restored, and his father’s Campagnola.
The Luaz before its restoration:
And after the restoration:
Marc forwarded these two jeeps for sale in South Africa. The first is a Gobex Jade Jeep, a kit jeep that is no longer produced. Marc’s trying to find out what happened to them.
http://eastlondon.olx.co.za/gobex-jade-jeep-iid-484120158
The second jeep is a Badger Jeep, A veep-like kit car with a VW engine. What’s most interesting is that the tires are Desert Dog PCV Tires, yet the tires don’t include PCV like other PCV tires I’ve seen.

UPDATE: You can see more at Norbert’s site: http://campagnolaar59.jimdo.com
Norbert wrote me from Germany yesterday. He wanted to share pictures of his Campagnola. It’s a great looking vehicle!
Alex, who directs Tahiti-Pacifique Magazine, forwarded these two photos.
For unknown reasons, the driver of this DUKW (thanks Bob) must have had quite a drive!
Alex writes, “Photo of 1954 peace treaty delegation between the French and the Vietminh. The French army used mostly US WW2 surplus equipment in that war. The US took over after the 1954 defeat, Indochina became Vietnam, the Vietminh became Vietcong and the issue was the same 20 years later. “
Charles forwarded these photos.
These two photos are from a Venlo training school in the Netherlands.
This is an old dutch army photo
Jerk spotted this unusual CJ-6 with what I assume is a custom bed. It’s another odd ball.
“Google translation of ad;
Willys Jeep pickup sold due to lack of time!
It is 4×4 and right hand drive. Is the course so no sms or e-mail hears
I was by myself for the end! Sincerely Tobbe”

A US surfing celebrity called Roxy dropped by Moorea in Tahiti and borrowed Alex’s CJ3A for some fashion shots. I personally think they cropped too much of the jeep, but I guess it is all about the model these days . . . On the bright side, he made a few bucks on the rental 🙂
To Roxy’s credit, she could drive the jeep well. You can see more pictures of Alex’s jeeps (without Roxy) here
Here are some additional photos from the photoshoot
Finally, you can catch a quick glimpse of the jeep racing through the pinapple fields. You’ll have to watch a bunch of women in small bikinis to see it though. I’m sure you’ll all suffer through it just fine.

Charles forwarded these photos for our enjoyment.

Charles discovered these photos taken at the Lend/Lease Museum in Moscow, Russia.
Buz spotted these two photos from HAMB. The photos were taken by Jack Brands. I tried to identify this European FC van, but didn’t have any luck. Anyone know? Ambulance maybe?
Sebastian’s in Colombia for a week and forwarded this article regarding a jeep train in Colombia. Here are a few photos and the link to the article (it is in Spanish).
UPDATE: This was on eBay last year. **Status Unknown.
(11/24/2013) This Industrias Kaiser Argentina CJ-6 is the first I’ve found for sale. The seller’s wife brought this from Argentina. According to the CJ-3B Page, about 600 of these came with diesel engines.
“This is a rare specimine of a 1971 Kaiser Jeep CJ6 that has been garage kept for many years. My wife brought it to the US from Argentina where it was maintained to the last degree by a master mechanic. The body has absolutely 0% rust. That may be hard to believe but it is truly the case. It was originally a Dual Fuel Natural Gas primary with Gasoline Reserve tank vehicle but the EPA forced my wife to remove the NG tanks. I have no idea why in this day and age of alternative fuels the EPA would make her do this but they did. The tanks re-installed if you can find them in the market. The EPA forced her to leave the tanks behind. We are both self employed and have very little time to work with it but as I understand it, here is what it will require to get it running: Rebuild the carb, Probably a new battery, and it will need a new Hydraulic clutch & mastercylinder. Otherwise, it should be good to go. As you can see from the pictures, it is in amazing condition cosmetically. If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them to the best of my ability. This “Fix-er-Upper” wont take too much “Fixin’-Up” to be an awesome collector for someone.”
