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 .

Nearly Identical Catalogs?

November 1, 2019 • CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Catalogs, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

As part of the collection of brochures/booklets I received yesterday from my eBay win, I also received three jeep parts catalogs: a 1963 Montgomery Ward, a 1964 Sears, and a 1966-1967 Bergs catalog. I was surprised to discover that the Sears and Berg catalogs are nearly identical. Maury confirmed that his 1968 Sears catalog is also nearly identical. So, if you are bidding/buying late 1960s jeep parts catalogs, I felt folks should be aware of this. Below are some comparison pages.

The covers are customized.

Sears is shown on the top and Bergs on the bottom. The inner cover and first page (labeled page 3) are custom:

Interior pages 4-5 begin the identical part of the catalogs:

Interior pages 18-19:

1976 Matchbox Flattie, Glider and Trailer SOLD

November 1, 2019 • CATEGORIES: Features, toys This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: After pondering it a while, I decided to get this set for Christmas … better late than never??

I would have been 11 when this jeep and glider set was released by Matchbox. I don’t remember seeing this combo in my 1976 Christmas Sears Wish Book. I’m feeling a bit cheated!

“Original 1976 Lesney England Matchbox Jeep and Glider
Transporter / Gliding Club.

This is a complete set; Condition C-6 due to numerous light marks
mostly on jeep. Not readily noticeable due to color, but can be easily seen under
magnification”

Here a set that’s in the original package (for $69) on eBay:

Year? CJ-5 Hinckley, MN SOLD

November 1, 2019 • CATEGORIES: CJ5 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.

Looks like there’s value here. This has a Ramsey PTO and Winch.

“Would guess it’s a 50s willys Jeep. Has a good grille and looks like a pto driven winch. Drivetrain and frame still there. Would like to sell as a whole. Saw the winch alone for 600 on eBay. Would be great if someone wanted to part out what’s left.”
