About eWillys
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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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.
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 .
Sears Bradley Ben Hur Mfg Trailer $300 Stevensville, MT
It’s listed as a WW2 Trailer but it more resembles the later production Sears Bradley stuff, the fenders really set these apart, this is a great looking trailer for the price. Needs work, but should be able to get this one rolling. No expert here, but someone knows what this really is, I hate to call it out as a 22-46 with no back up other then I feel that’s what is here. I mess up stuff weekly so no problems sending folks down some rabbit holes, they have a neat back story.
Have you seen the prices of small trailers that are not even close to what this can be regardless of what it turns out to be. Little bit of a lift but; Hub, tires, lights, wiring, hitch work, safety chains, you have a neat trailer with some period correct parts.
Information from seller:
Old rusty heavy duty camo trailer. One bearing is completely shot/gone so would need trailered or fixed before towing. Tires are kinda holding air but cracked. Box measures 46 1/4″ x 6ft. Has lights but there is no connector. No title $300 obo
Overall this is a large package of stuff, lots of parts, the rig needs some work as does the trailer, but if your looking for a package of stuff take a look. There is also mention of breaking out the rig and trailer so never know. Posted 6 Weeks Ago.
Information from seller:
Vietnam era M151A@ Marine MUTT and M416 trailer. Starts, runs, drives, stops, everything works. Tons of new and used parts, Indiana title for MUTT bill of sale for trailer. May consider selling Mutt and trailer separate. Will not answer to “Is it still available” If the add is up it’s available.
I have one of these also, it pulls amazing easy, never hooked to a Willys don’t have the set up to pull on the Wagon.
Tailgate is cut which is normal at times on these to make them your own. When I got mine there was a place making reproduction back panels but not for the M416 right then, but I felt they replied there was a way to make them work.
I need to rebuild the suspension, looks like normal CJ bushings and the sort, maybe 9” Drums never measured them, but these have brakes and the sort, really useful trailers.
This shows the drop leg, brake handle, converted to a ball from pintle, but those are out there to go back to.
Information from seller:
Heavy duty jeep style trailer. Military look. 5 lug 7 x 16 tire. Multi leaf suspension spare tire. Has tailgate. 41” wide flares out to 49”. Long 72” pick up in Hampton township. DM for more details.
Listed a few weeks back, M-416 these are neat trailer and pull really nice, this looks completed with the brake and a lot of the small bit, like the hooks and chains looks legit, rear lights. I have one of these the back was cut out at some point but they pull very nice. I have not tried the pintle towing too much, mine has some sort of adapter for a ball, but retains the original pintle.
Information from seller:
1967 military trailer in great shape very little surface. Rust tires are good and hold air has original rear lights on it plus extra trailer lights that are broken. You won’t find one in this good of a shape.
David Eilers Collection – Four Vintage Jeeps for Sale, Prosser, WA
Dave sent over his collection of Jeeps for posting, “used to run eWillys” is a huge understatement here. But we all fully appreciate Dave’s time and dedication put into the eWillys and the Jeep World to provide this great platform and body of work saving and archiving a huge collection of Willys History. Wishing Dave the best as he navigates his health issue. Keeping you in our thoughts, and if you need anything please keep us in mind. Here is the info Dave sent over – Thanks Tim
My name is David Eilers. I used to run eWillys.com. I am selling my four vintage jeeps due to an unexpected health issue. I don’t NEED to sell them, but prudence dictates I do. Email me at d@deilers.com or contact me at 831-325-9616 for questions.
#1 PNW4WDA Race Jeep $7000
This lacks a title and is not road legal. It runs and drives. I rebuilt it two years ago and raced it a couple times in 2024. It is fun, fun, fun to drive! It has a built Chev 350 with plenty of power. The body is a very rare fiberglass Parkette racing shell. The frame is widened five inches. The front springs have been reversed, while the back springs include a sway bar. It starts right up, runs and stops. The only issue is that it can overheat. I *think* the issue is that the brakes need to be adjusted as it may be fighting them. It includes additional desert dogs and other tires, along with some rims. There are extra seat belts and other parts. An unexpected health issue forces sale.
#2 1949 CJ-3A Parts Jeep built on a 1973 CJ-5 frame. $2000 The fullcage is built for the body and attaches in six spots to the frame. This jeep does not run, but does have a title. It will need to be trailered. This is a custom build with outboarded springs in the rear and reversed springs in the front. It has a rebuilt V-6, but that was rebuilt ten years ago. It has not been started. It has a T-98 transmission and a Dana 20 transfer case box with Dana 18 gears. It has a Dana 44 locker in the rear and an open Dana 30 in the front. The body is a modified fiberglass Bobcat body with a custom fiberglass hood and fenders (both lengthened about 6 inches). This includes a never-mounted tan Kayline top. There’s a lot of value there.

==========================
1956 DJ-3A Convertible $4500 This early convertible two-wheel-drive DJ-3A is pretty near stock with a very solid body and front clip. The convertible DJ-3A model has the solid back, 2/3 1/3 front seat, column shift, and a few other unique features. This does not have the original convertible top (there are only two or three left in the US). It was originally purchased out of Patterson, California, by an Apricot farmer. He added a couple features including a very rare vacuum tank under the driver’s side to support the dual vacuum windshield wipers. This also has the original early King-Seeley 0-10 speedometer seen in early CJ-5s and CJ-6s. This runs and drives, but could use some alignment work. The brakes will stop, but they could use some work. The original paint (Presidential red?) was covered over by the original owner to a warmer red/orange. I took this up to Alaska as part of the Alaska Or Rust vintage jeep event in 2017, which is why it has signatures on it (I got folks to sign it along the way and we added stickers). I had no plans to sell this, but an unexpected health issue forces sale. $4500 You can see it running here: Today I discovered a leak in the electric fuel pump, so I will have to fix that.
#4 1962 FC-170 Tour Jeep.
The cab of this jeep is from an original FC-Tour jeep. This cab is extremely rare, one of five or six. This is a project. These FCs were originally built in Colorado for the San Juan Scenic Jeep Tour Company.
You can see two restored FC tour jeeps here: https://thefcconnection.com/vacations_with_the_tour_jeep.htm. My FC Tour Jeep sits on a 2000 Ford Explorer Chassis. When I bought it, it ran, but barely stopped. I was told it was ready to be driven on roads. However, once I spent time with it, I discovered that there were numerous defects that made it unroadworthy and unsafe. So, I was forced to rebuild the cab area. I rewired it, installed hi-range-low-range capability, redid the steering and master brake up, and much more. It was not a project I was looking to undertake, but I made good progress until I ran into health issues. You can see all the pics here: https://www.ewillys.com/tag/fc-tour-jeep-build/?orderby=date&order=ASC $15,000.
I bought this with a three-axle trailer and am willing to sell it an additional $5000.
This pic shows (top) how I was going to rebuild the bed using the existing roll bars, (middle) how it looked when I bought it and (bottom) what I believe to be the original passenger setup.
Those trailers are wired up for 4 prong plug and modified with tailgates. Be nice for converting to camper or whatever for a Jeep. The price is each one.
Cool piece, might make a great addition to your project, has a really neat shape and style to this.
Information from seller:
1940s wrecker boom and sling only. The hand crank winch is missing. I believe it is a Marquette, but not 100% sure as it is missing the ID tag. $1250 cash takes it home. Located just a few miles north of Perry..
1955 Bantam and Jeep Willys Trailers $500 each Chandler, AZ
I don’t think the Bantam is a Military per say, the other to the left has the makings of one, Pintle Hitch, Brakes, little rough but not a bad price. That data plates been there a minute, but Im not sure on that mounting location many more experts out there to qualify what that might be, it either has a cutout back panel or Tailgate, again most I see are flat panels on the Military stuff, very little experience on these.
But there are some more gems hiding around these trailer, the rims could be useful, there is a Jeep Grill looks like, never know what you will find. Of course, snakes, spiders and scorpions and the sort be super careful out that way in all seriousness.
Information from seller:
Military trailers 1000.00 for both or 500 a piece. I believe I have the title for on of them 1955 Bantam.
