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.

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 .

Good Reminder Be Careful! Watch for SCAMS!

100% to me this ad was fake, it’ was posted on Craigslist out of Brooklyn, NY but it’s in the incorrect area of the site for Jeeps / Willys and vehicles in general.

The photos and description shared are from a different site where the rig was for sale for double the price

1952 Willys M38A1 – $12,000

1952 Willys M38 Military Jeep. Fully Restored, museum quality, no rust, always garage kept. This Jeep served in Korea. Lots of fun to drive, starts right up. Everything works, Horn, fuel gauge, wipers, lights, all gauges, everything.

Too good to be true it probably is…. it is a nice looking Willys.

1948 CJ-2A Dover, NC $9500

February 3, 2025 • CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Don’s selling this CJ-2A, one he believes to be a former Shell station jeep (the tailgate suggests it may have been a service station unit). The blue on the tailgate matches the blue on other parts of the jeep, so it appears to be original to it.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2560516497476278/?ref=saved&referral_code=null

“1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep Ex Service Station Jeep. Original body with a few small rust areas. A previous owned sprayed can painted the Jeep in a camo pattern and we decided to remove the camo paint back down to the original Normandy Blue paint. The grill is back to its original color along with most of the dash and tailgate. On the tailgate we discovered the wording “SHELL ROAD SERVICE” so this Jeep at one time was used at a Shell service station. It also has one of the 250lb front weights, four axle bumper spacers, and it looks like some type of lift was attached to the bed at one time.

New and Rebuilt Parts include: Wiring harness, battery cables, coil, points, condenser, distributor cap and rotor, plug wires, plugs, rebuilt generator, fuel sending unit, coil, keyed switch. Brake master cylinder, wheel cylinders, brake shoes, lines, Dot5 silicone brake fluid. Bearing and shaft for the bell-crank, tie rod ends, wheel bearing seals, wheel bearings serviced, drag link rebuilt.”

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

M-38 Split Windshield Frame $550

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/

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.
