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 .

REDUCED

Tim’s selling this nicely updated wagon.

https://marketplace.jeepwillysforsale.com/listing/619875?prompt_login=true

Quite possibly the nicest wagon it will ever find for sale.
Runs great. Chevy 350 w/ Holley Sniper fuel injection. GM 700R4 4speed Transmission. Dual reservoir brake system w/ front disc brakes. Dana 44 rear axle w/ large breaks. Extra large fuel tank. Front bucket seats. Bluetooth stereo with overhead sound bar. Four-wheel-drive with low range. Original speedometer works and is accurate but bounces a little at low speed.

I have all the Chrome trim for it, if you like that look.

Daily driver. Gets a lot of attention

January 31, 2025 • CATEGORIES: Features, Parts • TAGS: Windshield. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Buz reached out to say this is still available. He dropped the price to $550.

Buz is selling this unique windshield frame for the M-38. He has the paper work from the Government and work order to document its origins. Contact Buz Kanzenbach via phone 757 403 9964 or email buzkan @ att.net (remove spaces around the @).

“Split M-38 windshield excellent shape. This is a rare item! Authorized By Order of the Army, The Secretary of The Army. When it was broken during the Korean War it was transferred from a 1 piece two a 2 piece, to save glass. I know of only 2 frames in existence.”

Here are a few others from the archives that might be M-38 split windshields

1) This M-38 appears to have one: http://www.ewillys.com/2010/05/07/year-m-38-mount-vernon-wa-4000/
2) Possibly a modified one(?): http://www.ewillys.com/2014/06/03/1947-cj-2a-lexington-tx-4700/

1951 Farm Jeep & Jeep Tractor Brochure

January 25, 2025 • CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features • TAGS: 1951-farm-jeep-tractor-brochures. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: I was surprised to recently see a 1953 ad for a Farm ‘Jeep’ in the Nevada State Journal (March 05, 1953, pg 9). Remember that the Farm ‘Jeep’, along with the ‘Jeep’ Tractor, were models produced mostly in 1951 and 1952, along with a line of jeep implements.

As you can see from this timeline reproduced below from the CJ-3A.info page, there were very few Farm ‘Jeep’s produced at all and none in 1953, though a handful of CJ-3B Farm ‘Jeep’s were made (see CJ-3B page for more info on the 3B version). So the use of the ad is curious.

=============================

Originally Published May 12, 2020: Each of the brochures has consecutive form numbers, from FS-514100 to FS-514105. The brochure below included extra digits at the front: FS-4 FS-514102.

May 1954 Kaiser Willys News Vol. 1 No. 4

January 21, 2025 • CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features, Magazine • TAGS: cavalcade, Jeep-Willys-News, rodeo. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: I obtained a copy of this Kaiser Willys News, Volume 1, Number 4, off of ebay. Previously, all I had was a low resolution copy. This issue includes stories and photos about the Yakima Ridge Runners (last page).

Page 1 covers sales contents. Page two includes a short article about how a jeep won a road race in Las Vegas, but a search of vintage newspapers did not yield any more information. Page three is unusual in its description of the efforts to encourage wives to support their husband’s sales efforts.

Page 4 and 5 covers sales tips. Page 6 has an interesting diagram of an automatic transmission tools board, with enough detail to recreate it for a museum.

Page 7 includes a story with some details that might help someone recreate the 1954 Cavalcade of jeeps. As mentioned before, page 8 covers the Yakima Ridge Runners, among other stories.

2025 Mecum Kissimmee Wrap Up

2025 Mecum Kissimmee Wrap Up

The 2025 Mecum Auction finished up on Sunday and there were a number of Willys / Kaiser Era Jeeps Present.

Auctions can be tricky with valuations hit and miss depending on the audience and buyers present.

While not a perfect system largely due to documentation is only as good as the Auction house gets and they cannot be the experts in all makes and models. So, there is always a few lots that may have errors and omissions.

Here is a brief summary of the listing that caught my eye on their site.

You can find more information on these lots at their website, that is where these screenshots came from.

Vintage 1940s Hand Made Folk Art Metal Flat Fender Toy CJ Willys Jeep & Trailer (SOLD)

Vintage 1940s Hand Made Folk Art Metal Flat Fender Toy CJ Willys Jeep & Trailer (SOLD)

“Andy’s Picks”

This one is already SOLD, but here is the link and some photos for record.

Sold for $183.50 but it had 25 Bids so not bad # of bids.

I will give the seller some credit on the quality and number of photos, it’s a really great find for someone to start or add to their collection.

Item description from the seller

This is the second toy from a collection of hand made folk art toys I bought from the original owners. This one is another incredible all-metal heavy gauge steel work of art. Very nicely done early flat fender style Willys Jeep and trailer. Amazing how someone fabricated and welded this thing together with such detail. Has a steering wheel but no actual steering. The hood opens nut no engine detail (forgot to take out a non-related tire in pics). All wheels roll fine. Trailer is just as impressive with heavy duty hitch and pin with safety chain. Weighs over 7 lbs!! Measures about 21″ long. Amazing one of a kind piece of folk art. Child owner wrote 1942 on trailer and 1947 on Jeep. I don’t normally place a reserve on my toys but I’ve got a reasonable one as I may want to keep it.
