eBay Search

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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.

Jeeps Showcase

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.

Buying Tips

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 .

Always FOLLOW a Half Track . . .

February 28, 2013 • CATEGORIES: Event, Features, M-38, Reader Stories • TAGS: Paul-M38. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Paul forwarded these pics to consider. The moral is, always follow a half track!

“Last Saturday I visited the local military vehicle show and I saw an amazing sight. Among the various military trucks, Jeeps and one half track on display there was a Willys M 38 which had suffered a bit of body damage when the previously mentioned half track didn’t quite stop soon enough. I don’t know the reason for the meeting of these vehicles but the attached pictures show the results of contact between one very light and one very heavy military rig. The poor M 38 got the worst of this bump but the half track also suffered when it received a scratch in the paint on the front drum. Sad to see but I don’t believe anyone was hurt.”

Here’s another Newsweek Ad from 1943. I will have to fill in the issue information later, as I don’t have it with me. This was a two page ad in the center of the magazine.

A good looking CJ-3B from Colombia

February 28, 2013 • CATEGORIES: CJ-3B, Features, International • TAGS: Sebastian. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Sebastian’s father spotted this jeep and share the picture with us. Note the extended rear.

He writes, “My dad spotted this nice 3B in Villavicenio, Meta (Colombia). It seems
to be used for work or daily drive, the yellow plate means is registered
as a regular car. The white top looks nice and goes well with the
tires. However, it seems a little larger than normal. It seems there is
a cat or a dog underneath.”

I’m really wondering about the text on the back of this card. I can’t tell what it is promoting. The title claims this is Bruce Minard a gold prospector in Red Hill, Mojave, California.

“NICE UNUSED STANDARD-SIZE CHROME POSTCARD……..1950s/60s ERA……IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.”

1962 FC-170 Riverside, CA SOLD

February 28, 2013 • CATEGORIES: FC150-FC170-M677 • TAGS: Nice. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8450.

(12/29/2013) This FC comes equipped with a diesel.

“Up for sale is a 1962 Willys Jeep FC Forward Control Flat Bed Truck 4X4
Mercedes Diesel Engine pulled from a 1984 300D. Will drive and we’ve taken it up to about 50 MPH at which time the steering feels a little weird. Not sure if the steering wheel is loose or it just feels weird due to it being raised (37″ tires). Its definitely still a project with all the parts here & the major work already done. Registered in California through FEB 2015.

Known issues:
-4X4 Cable needs to be connected
-Drivers window is in door but doesn’t close
-Brake fluid leak
-RPM gauge is not connected
-Steering feels loose at high speeds”
