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: Rudolf sent some additional pics of this rig. Steve gives a good analysis within the comments section.
Rudolf forwarded me this unusual CJ-?A/MB wagon. Rudolf reports that this is titled a 1944 and was used for public transit in Bali. Given the full floating rear end, the rearend might have been from a MB. It reminded me of another vehicle with a similar wood rear end that is located in France (see the red image below).

This a late 2A or a 3A. There are some tell tale signs up front. Heavier guage steel frame rails without gussets for bumper attaching. also, if you look at the front drivers side upper shock mount it is the later type that are sorta like a cup riveted to the top frame rail – most common on 3A’s.
The grill is a 3A as well look at the way the 3A radiator is mounted to the grill rather than from below like the MB’s and 2A’s. Also, the area where the steering column mounts to the dash is definetly 3A…see how the indents are much higher than an MB for the longer steering column that would have been on a 3A. The engine is definetly civilian bth the head and the block. Ribbing on head and the large boss behind the water pump for the serial number are both very indicative of civilian.
The only thing that is outof character on this jeep is the full floating rear axle which is definetly MB or early 2A. Seems to me if you blew out your rear end on Bali it might have been easier to get an old full floater from a junky than a newer semi-floating that actually belongs on this 3A.
Thanks for that great analysis.
For some reason, I had it in my head that 3As didn’t have the governor, but after doing some quick research, I realized they did!
