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.
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 .
Tim spotted this custom trailer.
“Homaide trailer no paperwork great for camping wood hauling or just pull behind jeep”
https://providence.craigslist.org/cto/5985630187.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2400.
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. ”

There appears to be value here.
“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”
