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 .
You might remember the auction that took place on May 18th. Jay Margolies, the owner of the parts and operator of Willys Overland, reported to me yesterday that not much sold at auction. Jay would really like to sell these parts, preferably in large lots. If he can’t find a buyer, he may be forced to send them to salvage (which is not his preference). So, if are interested in obtaining parts, contact Jay Margolies at 419-531-0707.
List of parts.
The address on this auction is for Willys Overland out of Toledo Ohio. Is he going out of business or just selling all his inventory?
Good question. Also, the flyer shows old jeep bodies, but the pictures of the stuff to be auctioned don’t show any bodies. I found that confusing.
He’s been having some sales lately of stuff on craigslist. Not sure if it’s an inventory clearance or a going out of business thing.
So you have to buy entire lots of stuff?
That’s the way I read it. Selling in lots. And only four of them.
The owner is liquidating his inventory. We are auctioning in bulk lots. The link that you have on your post will show the bodies of the cars. The online platform only allows 14 photos so in the body text there is a URL for the link to the photos. You’ll have to copy and paste. The is more information on the link below.

This inventory started with Charles Dadlow at Jeep Acres, then went to Zach Heiser, and now Jay Margolies. Jay is getting rid of the used parts and some new ones. He wants to reduce the footprint (and overhead) to focus on the replitub business. If you are going to bid I highly recommend you go there in person for a preview. Several 2A page members were there in person recently. Some of the items pictured are already sold.
I agree with little willy, as I’ve already picked this too, not much left for wagon and truck guys, but lotsa tonnage for the CJ crowd, he wanted 75k for all about a month ago, I posted write up on old willys forum
Not surprised that much didn’t sell, not a whole lot of value in what was for sale. CJ5 hoods are a dime a dozen, you can’t give them away. The rust bucket vehicles are worth their weight in scrap metal. The after market New MADE IN CHINA parts big boys have ruined the used parts market. (you know who I’m talking about) These are my famous last words, (No more posting for me) I deal with reality, not illusion. I’m retreating to my garage and becoming that old guy I didn’t understand when I was a teenager.
