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 .
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $25,000.
Looks like a nice combo.
“For sale is a fully restored 1942 Ford GPW and 1943 Bantam trailer. Please provide your name and a contact number with reply.

Includes what looks to be a David Bradley trailer.
“This jeep has its original engine and body that was made from the factory in 1945 still in great condition, original color was pasture green.
New water pump was installed just recently its floor boards have also been poured with a reinforced rubber. Trailer included,”

This looks like a K-38 cable trailer. And, it is built by the same company (Highway Trailer), but the tag and wheels suggest to me this is a pre-WWII model. The Highway trailer company of Edgerton, Wisconsin, began as a wagon works. In 1917 it shifted to trailers, large and small. This one would look better behind a vintage spoked vehicle from the 1920s.
“$800 OBO
Serious Inquiries Only Please

Excellent vintage condition with original Highway Trailer tag intact. No rusted holes and in great restoration condition or keep as is! Original wheels with Goodyear tires.”

“1943 Ford gpw Army Jeep with option for Bantam trailer. It has a Buick 225 V6 with Warren Overdrive and rear posi with front power lock differentials. Full cage roll bar gas and Tire rack on rear.
It needs new tires and hasn’t been started for over 5 years but it is not froze up. I poured oil in the carburetor before storing it. So it will need an oil change and a new battery and a little love but all in all it’s a very nice Ford gpw army jeep M1 gun mount on windshield set up for the Rubicon. For more information contact me.
I’m sorry I don’t have better pictures.The Jeep is not at my home but it is in Fremont.”

(03/08/2017) Runs, but needs some work.
“Here’s a nice, 2 owner Willys barn find! 1959 Willys CJ3B. Looks to be original miles! Has had a minimal amount of body work done in it’s lifetime, and has obviously been repainted, but appears to be the original color. The tub and frame are in excellent condition. Starts and runs okay, but needs some TLC. The drive train is a little noisy too. Has the factory heater/defroster. Windshield is broken, as is the driver’s door window. Top easily removes with two people (looks much better without the top in my opinion). I have the old-school Illinois title, which was issued in 1976 when the previous owner bought it from the original purchaser. Come make me an offer!”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
(02/06/2017) “Custom one of a kind Jeep Trailer
1976 Postal Jeep – clean title
Pull with you classic car or truck
Make a custom camp trailer / food cart ect”
Has a variety of early parts.
“This was the 1117th cj made after WWII. As far as I know it is original motor. When I bought it had just been mechanically restored by a company called Northstar Willys. He found the 38th one and decided to sell this one. I had some body work done but tried to keep as much original as possible. I did however change to a 12volt system. The Jeep runs good and as you can see in one of the photos it looks like the water pump just started leaking other than that no real issues. I used the jeep very little… just as a my mule to haul tools for small projects around where I live. Unsure of actual mileage.”

Looks solid. You can buy the M-38 for only $8500 by itself.
“I have a older restoration. 1950 M38 done 30 years ago when nos parts were easy, with summer top, grc 9 radio set, back seat ect. Its 100 % rust free and stright with no bondo, one of the best m38 I bought then. now the bad news, I used it 30 years ago to drive into my silver mine (worked great) and then parked it in the barn, were it has sat since. So the gas is ugly, batterys are shot, tires do hold air and look great with 100 % tread. (but they are still 30 years old) brakes dont work, the seals will need replacing. I now need the storage and the jeep has to go , price is 8500.00 there is also a M100 1/4 trailer for sell. The m100 trailer is real nice, right hitch, cover, used it with my m38 jeep, the trailer has not moved in 30 years, been stored inside the barn. I need the space. The good, body, paint, hitch,fenders ect , not so good, tire shop broke 3 lung nuts, studs years ago to fix a flat so the lugs need to be replaced, the floor is a little wavy (nothing bad but it is not 100% new, I used it to haul my supply in to the mine )1800.00 or if you buy the jeep and trailer 9800.00 Please no tire kickers, I only want monny, no trades, and I dont need any help to sell the jeep. In short if you dont have the cash dont call. ”

Cool trailer with some practical extras.
“I built this Willy’s truck bed trailer for my business as a multi-purpose trailer. I hate to see it go, but my business has outgrown her. It has the rare 8′ thriftside (step side) bed, painted white, sitting on the truck frame. There’s a trailer axle underneath it and the lug nut pattern is 5″ on 5.5″ just like the classic jeep pattern. It has new shocks as well- stock hubcaps included (even the spare tire in the factory location). The WO stamped tailgate is virtually flawless and a rare find, especially in this condition.
To top it off (pun intended), I have a vintage 1958 Canopy – camper shell mated to it. It was made by a local Spokane-based carriage company that went out of business in the late 1980’s (see pic of name plate for reference). It is also painted white, but with silver accents. Then I added a lumber rack for hauling 2×4’s, sheet metal and other materials (12′ overall length, 4’3” wide inside edge to inside edge so there’s plenty of room).
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
Could be a good price. Looks more like a civilian trailer to me.
“Old military ammo trailer has new tires and lights has very little rust asking $400”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Nice looking original Converto airborne trailer.
“This is an original as found 1944 Converto Airborne dump trailer. This is perfect for pulling behind a military jeep. This has the original reinforced combat wheels as well as the original factory tires. Of course the tires are rock hard. There is NO rust through anywhere. This is the most solid one I have ever seen in un-restored condition. This is a true barn find…well van body find. There is some very minor light pitting in the bed which is expected for it’s age. It rolls around just fine. It dumps and has as you can see the linkage for dumping. This is a surplus item from the TVA in the 50’s and has been in storage ever since. If you want a beautiful Converto that will be a piece of cake to restore look no further. This is in museum condition. They don’t get any better than this. QTM Parts”

Tim thought someone might be able to use this behind their jeep.
“Hey I got this thing as a little project did some work to it and now it’s time to upgrade as I need something bigger. Looking to get $200. It has new lights and wiring, just put on a new plywood deck over the metal one (easier to slide stuff in and out) and I got a sweet truck cap for it too which must go with it. It’s been painted and has 6 lug wheels and 6 leaf springs on it (was a former military trailer, pretty solid) Not looking for trades, no title and will sell for more in the spring. ”

“1953 Willis jeep with trailer. Trailer was made in 1964. Bill of sale only. I am told these did not have titles. I do not know but do know there is an antique tag on it. I saved this from going in the scrap yard. I am retired military and thought this would be a fun project. I have too many projects. The motor turns over with boost. Not firing. Overall needs tlc but oh what fun it would be running. This would never get stuck”
