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 .

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.
