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 .
Jim pointed this out, suggesting it would make a nice little camping trailer. I agree. It could be very cool. …. After a little research I discovered I posted some of these last year. You can view that page here. Here’s some more information from Wikipedia on the K-38.
“
Army jeep trailer from WW2 known as a K 38. Used by the military signal corps. This can be locked up. I have replaced the tires since these photos. Send your ph #”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Jim knows how much I loved this find.
Apart from jeeps, one of my passions is cooking. I worked as a chef for about 5 years and have loved cooking ever since. So, I think this trailer is really cool. Of course, I’d need a second trailer for a grille, a broiler, a powerful wok, a place for a cooler … oh, this just sounds like trouble. Here’s a more modern “kitchen trailer” than might work better for me.
“Very early model field kitchen, mostly original parts, perfect working order, great for reenactments, stainless steel pots, makes delicious meals.Included are four stainless steel pots: two: 18″X18″X18″deep and two: 18″X18″X12″deep, at maximum capacity it is good for 100 dinners. The pots work like pressure cookers, so delicious and healthy dinners are ready in no time. This is a wood burning kitchen, no propane necessary. Works perfectly. Originally made in Poland for the eastern front in WW2, made as an attachment to the Jeep Willys MB.”
This looks like a great price on a Bantam Trailer. I’ve seen them priced much higher.
“These are highly collectible. This is an excellent little Trailer. Length is 6 ft. It tows nicely. I believe this to be a Bantam TC-3 (civilian). These are commonly called Jeep trailers. It has a clear Title. It works great as a Utility Trailer or pull it behind your Jeep for Jeeping.
Call me with questions, Fred (253) 381-4247”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
(12/27/2008) Here’s what appears to be a completely restored CJ-3A + trailer. Not many specifics on what was rebuilt.
“1950 JEEP CJ-3A WITH TRAILER NEW TIRES, SEATS, SPRINGS, SHOCKS, BATTERY, LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD, HOOD, FENDERS, BUMPER, WINDSHIELD FRAME, AND TUNE UP KIT . REBUILT FLAT HEAD 4 . ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
I can’t tell a great deal from the pics, except that the colors match.
“1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep and 1949 Bantam Jeep trailer. Both stock. Six new military tires.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $550.
(08/26/09) “Up for sale is a 1950 Willy’s Jeep Station Wagon Trailer. I have used it for a vendor trailer selling auto parts at swap meets in the past and for storage to keep items out of the weather. The interior is open with one large shelf and several drawers underneath for extra storage. The glass has been replaced with plywood which I just applied a fresh coat of paint to. The rear window is the only one remaining on the trailer. The tires are in good shape and it has a spare tire.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.
“I have a 1946 Bantam Trailer that is in fair/good condition and can be used as-is. It has an oregon title and bantam serial tag. I’m asking $650.00 or $600.00 if you have a ’46 cj2a.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900.
This CJ-2A deal includes an unusual trailer. This appears to be a good price.
“46 cj2a flatfender, 4cyl, 3spd, stock, steel removable top, matching 2a trailer, winch, engine hoist, towbar, daily driver, az title, 2900, trade, ratrod, project,”
Art dropped me a note about his BantamTC3 website a couple days ago. He’s building a website to compile Bantam T3-C information to share with the community interested in these trailers.
Art writes that he has been interesting in military vehicles since he was a child and had Chevrolet/GMC 4x4s ever since getting his driver’s license. His interest in Willys Flat Fenders grew as a more affordable alternative to lift-kits, big tires and lots of u joints of the Chevys, especially after starting a family. He also wanted to have more comfortable, safer, reliable vehicles for his family as well.
His current pride and joy is the Emerald Green 48 you will see on Art’s other website, 48cj2a.com. The jeep (seen below) is about 99% original and driveable. He also currently has a 1947, another 1948, and a demiled 53 M38A1 project that he needs to make more road worthy and then plans to sell.
Following his interest in jeeps, came an interest in trailers. His Wife purchased him a M416 1/4 ton Military trailer one year for Christmas (hmmm .. does she have a sister?). That lead him to do some 1/4 ton trailer research where he learned about the Bantam trailer. Deciding the Bantam was more correct for the Civy Willys after the War in 45, he traded his 416 straight up a year ago for the Bantam T3-C he currently owns. He is also working toward obtaining a second T3-C trailer.
As he did more research on Bantam T3-C trailers, he got frustrated with the lack of information; and thus, the BantamTC3 website was born.
Thanks for sharing Art!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
Yes, 2 vehicles and one trailer for $2500.
“1951 Willys CJ3A with plow and hard top runs but smokes needs brakes. 1963 Willys CJ6 rebuilt 4cyl runs great needs rear brake line and U-joint. Car trailer to haul them home on. I have current titles for everything. Package deal $2,500 FIRM. “
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
It sounds like this is a bit of a project. Includes a trailer.
“here is a vary rare 45 ford army jeep and trailer and has been used for mostly hunting and camping from summer to summer and has been in my family since new.im sellen it for my great aunt witch is the origianl owner.i have a clean title in hand also is curently not running do to a frozze starter and bad wireing and i need to sell asap. There are many extra parts to go with it such as the full cloth doors and top,extra hubs,seats,and misc little stuff ,and the triler is a home made job,bottom line this jeep would make a great toy or father /son project with just a little tlc.”
This is pretty rough, but it’s one of the lower priced trailers I’ve seen. I don’t know a lot about these.
“WWII military trailer built to be towed behind the Willys MB or Ford GPW jeeps. This one is just like a Bantam T3, but I believe it was built by Willys. It tows nicely, but the lights aren’t hooked up right now. The floor is pretty bad, but most are after over 60 years of our weather. It has a 2″ ball coupler and does have a tailgate.”
I can’t say I’ve seen a bantam trailer with a top like this, though I’m no expert on Bantam Trailers.
“Bantam T3 Trailer WWII Serial number 9334. 1940’s Bantam T3 Trailer from world war two. It was recently sandblasted primed and painted 4 years ago. This was my grandfathers and it is very rare to find a Bantam trailer with a Top like this. I am in need of a larger cargo trailer. 12ft trailer needed and will trade. Please call 269-449-8900 or email for more information at spoon_m@hotmail.com. The following site is a forum for these trailers. Serial number is 9334. I know this is a collectors Item to the right person and I really am not looking for it to leave unless trade or this price. Thanks for checking it out.”
No pictures provided. Sounds like the jeep might be rough.
“1951 willys flat fender jeep,no motor last was set up for small block chevy,stock transmision transfer case,back yoke broken off trans,suspet it was small block chevy that twisted it off, has a newer top but some but cut slashes in the back side windows of it, doors and back window still good, comes with a 1952 army trailer w/military tires, clear titles for both, also have extra pair of milatary wheels and tires, $1200.00 can see at 416 w main street in sedalia and please call 660-221-8813”
One of the ewillys readers asked me about jeep trailers for sale in the northwest. A quick search yielded a particularly interesting trailer from ww2 — a signal corp trailer.
" WW2 Jeep K38 trailer used by the U.S. army signal corps. This one looks like the one shown in a U.S.M.C manual from 1945."
