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 .
Not a Willys but this would be cool towing behind a Wagon or some other Willys! Swap out those Chevy hubcaps for some Willys ones. I would also swap the rear lights to classic NoCo’s, rework the trailer hitch to maybe a Pintle style from say an M100 or something, some of those classic chains and hooks from that period trailer, also add the kick down drop leg that is period. This would be a nice project,

No data plate on it. Sold with a bill of sale only. $1400 cash in Colchester, VT. I can load it on a truck or trailer.
Peter’s selling this trailer in good shape. I *think* it is a Converto?
“Very good for reenactors. Has brand new military tires and tubes on very good rims. Additional parts: hand brake, wooden boards, two civil tires to go with.”
“Home built trailer utilizing Jeep pickup bed and a rear truck axel. Lights work. No brakes. Racks are removable. Comes with tool box. Jack mounted on tongue. Tires new spring 2024. For another hundred I gotta spare you can have. I hauled this trailer loaded from Oregon in April. It pulls great with my Tacoma. Figuring out how to license it in NYS is beyond me. Never occurred to me it would need a plate.
One could use this easily off highway on the farm, in an orchard, or sugar bush.”
UPDATE: Still Available. Here’s some additional information on the lengths of the jeep and trail.
Jeep is 18′ Trailer is 14′ Plus 5′ for the trailer tongue. Grand total of 37′ long
