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 .

Derek published this story on the CJ-3B Page about three Brazilian Boy Scouts (Gabriel Paula Fonseca Jr., Everardo de Mello Nogueira, and Paulo Pinheiro de Andrade) who traveled the world, calling themselves the Baden-Powell AfricaEuropeAmerica Expedition.
Leaving in 1957, just after Hugo Vidal and his friend returned from their Operation Pineapple adventure, the Baden-Powell party used a CJ-5 that was styled and outfitted in a way similar to the Operation Pineapple CJ-3B jeep.Their goal was to attend the 9th Annual Boy Scouts Jamboree, one that also celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Scout’s founding and the Centennial of Robert Baden-Powell, the Boy Scouts’ founder.
In 2018, a story was published in English called: 1957: From Cape Town to the Nordkap on a Jeep – Three Brazilians youngsters set out to discovery the world. I just purchased it ($6.50) for the kindle, so will be reading it as I can.
In 2017 a story was published about the trip on this site, but it appears you have to log in to access it. Some pics from this story can be seen on the internet. Based on these pics, the trio may have used the same “built with Brazilian” parts that Operation Pineapple used to fund the expedition:
Anyone ever seen this documentary? It apparently includes a discussion of the early days of Willys-Overland.
View all the information on eBay
“This is “TOLEDO STORIES: WHEELS,” a previously-owned video-cassette (VHS) with all original artwork (shows very little wear). It was issued by WGTE and plays beautifully (double-checked).
“Wheels” shares the story that the automotive industry has played in Toledo, Ohio’s history. For 150 years, Toledo’s economy has been interwoven with the manufacture of all kinds of vehicles. The film covers the Jeep Corporation’s early beginnings as Willys-Overland, the dozens of 19th century carriage and wagonmakers in the area, and eight major bicycle manufacturers.”
It seems to have survived the “Korean War” flawlessly. Sigh. Kidding aside, this body looks to be in pretty good shape.

“Or best offer. Negotiable lots of details available.”
This appears to be a 1946 chassis with a CJ-3B replacement body. I’m not sure why the odd grille was made/used.

“1946 Jeep Willy CJ. The frame is original, engine has been replaced with an early 50’s flathead Ford V-8. Takes leaded fuel. 3-speed manual transmission. Has an after market heater. Odometer has been replaced; new odometer reads 489 miles. Prior mileage unknown. It runs and is in good condition.”

“1948 Jeep willys in running condition. New transmission, lights, gas tank, shocks, tires, etc. Runs like you’d expect a 1948 Jeep to run”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
Listed as a 1950, this looks to be a 1946 CJ-2A given the column shift and
indents.
“This is old Jeep it turns over with starter had compression of3 cylinders I put p b blaster in all cylinders could be stuck valve turns free has a rare 3 speed on colume it shifts all drive shafts are there frame is rusty”
Given the new body, this might be worth a look.

This appears to have an M-38 grille.

“Willy Jeep needs some work but has potential.”
Listed as a 1946 CJ-2A, this looks more like a CJ-3A to me. The 2A ignition switch hole is absent, there are no bow holders, the radiator and oil filter mount are not 2A, and it lacks the front frame horns.

Listed as a 1941, this has an early 1946 serial number (14891) (both dash and firewall plates). It also has the top driver’s side indent at the very least. It seems to have the top bows, too. The rear cargo area has been rebuilt.
“1941 willys jeep Orginal tires Orginal seats Canopy Windshield And everything’s pictures”
Ann found a great price on a china hutch for the new house, so that consumed my Tuesday. So, no updates Wednesday.
But, here is an Operation Market Garden video that compares WWII locations with their current look:

Andy spotted this deal. It includes a snow plow, Kelly Hardtop, Cutlas Hubs, Perkins diesel, and a Monroe Lift. Overdrive, too?
