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: **SOLD** Was $27,000
Nice looking combo.
“1952 Willy’s Jeep with matching trailer
Owner’s family no longer uses the Willy’s for family summer camping trips. Very well restored and maintained. Receipts for EVERYTHING ever purchased or done to the vehicle. The Willy’s is available to inspect Monday thru Friday 7:30am to 4:30pm. The list below is just the basic information. This vehicle has quite a bit done.
This looks solid.
“Nice Bantam TC-3, (probably 1947 by serial #) licensed, all lights work, spare tire and mount, tail gate works, 2″ hitch mount, steel plate in bed, no rust holes, the wheels are 15″ CJ5.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was a raffle prize.
Matt wrote me today, letting me know that there’s a raffle for a M-100 trailer at Midwestmilitary.net. Tickets are $20. Proceeds go to help Gary Wirth’s hospital expenses, a result of his battle with cancer. The drawing will be held December 7, 2013. You can purchase a ticket here: http://www.midwestmilitary.net/raffle.html
Learn more about Gary and his fight here: http://www.ewillys.com/pdf/GWRT-FINAL.pdf
“This trailer was donated for raffle by Al and Kelly Lehmann. They had it totally restored by Gary Wirth last fall. It was totally dismantled and rebuilt, including new bearings, brakes, wiring and tires.
Painted in 24087 color scheme. This trailer was not rusty before it was restored. It was a super clean trailer that came from a local city garage that always kept it inside. We have the original data plates and a new set of reproduction plates that will be added soon. Date of delivery is 10/52 and serial number 382368. The original manufacturer was Dunbar-Kapple. Between the cost of purchasing the trailer and the restoration, there is over $3000.00 invested. The wiining ticket holder will be responsible for picking up the trailer or shipping expenses. We can help with the shipping arrangements, so don’t let that stop you from purchasing a chance to win this beautiful piece of history.”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $1100.
This looks in good condition.

The price is low. Unclear how much value his here.
“I have a Willys Jeep trailer from the 50’s or 60’s it is the civilian model not the military one. It would be good for parts or restoration, let me stress that fact. It would need some welding and body work to make it nice again or you could use it for parts, it has good 16 in rims and the trailer landing gear. I do not have the tailgate for it. Make an offer I have no use for the trailer so i would like to see a jeep guy get it and do something with it. If you are interested email me a number i can reach you at, no number no response, just avoiding scams and other bs, thanks for looking.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
Based on the metal plate in the middle of the tailgate, I’m going to guess this is a Ben Hur Trailer. The Sears David Bradley Trailer looks very similar. I don’t not believe the fenders are original. The earlycj5.net site has a great page on the Ben Hur / David Bradley models. Does anyone know if the Ban Hur letters on the rear of the trailer are original?
“I have a Military WW 2 Ben Hur 1/2 ton trailer for sale that needs to be restored.Roughly 4 x 6. Similar to the M416 army trailer, but larger. Great for the farm.
$800.00 firm.
This model has a factory tailgate.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600

Is the trailer half bantam and half m-100?
“Willys CJ2A very restorable, nearly all original, driven every day. Has pintle hookup for trailer as well as original ball hitch mount w/ ball. Trailer is 1942 Bantam 1/4 ton T-3, M 100. Would like to sell as set, but will seperate.”
http://westslope.craigslist.org/clt/4082186692.html
UPDATE: Was listed at $750. Sold.
Here’s an early trailer (based on the serial number).
“1942 Willys. Has several coats of paint and some rust, mostly complete. Floor has many small holes, otherwise appears solid. A tailgate has been cut, but it was “tastefully” done. Original data plate as far as I can tell. Plate and registered. See photos.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
This might be a good project.
“Very early civilian version of the venerable WWII Jeep trailer. Bantam lost the contract to make the Jeep, but they won the contract to make these trailers as a conciliation. This was made shortly after the war as a perfect trailer to use with the newly invented CJ Jeep.
This trailer is in very original shape. There are some bruises and rust. The rust is mostly contained to the floor. I tried to take pictures that represent the condition the best I can. If you would like more pics, just ask. I think that with a little bit of sweat equity, this would be a great little trailer. ”
How about that cj-2a trailer? Looks like a good price for the combo.
