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 .
“1945 WW2 Jeep willys MB or ford GPW airborne dump trailer. This was manufactured by Converto Manufacturing Inc. to be towed behind the WW2 jeeps. This trailer was assembled in 1945 and as shown by the picture has its original data tag. This trailer is not rotted out and the bed area has no holes. Several dents in the rail area as this was a working utility trailer for a family until I spotted it 2 weeks ago. The tailgate is intact but has moderate scale rust but no holes. There is one blackout light left on the rear.”
“This 1945 Bantam Jeep Trailer, model T100, has been restored to its original design, which includes the pintle hook tongue. It has the older style military tires on it, which are in okay condition. I’ve been in the process of restoring it and therefore have removed the paint to the bare metal. It was my intention to paint it od green. Well, my garage is full, and the trailer is going to have to go. I have already purchased primer for the trailer, but have not put it on.”

You would be hard pressed to find a nicer WWII trailer for your collection. The trailer is sold with a current OR title and pictoral documentation of the restoration process.”
I’m not sure any of this was ever military, but I could see that being handy for someone.
“Enclosed military jeep trailer. Removable sides and back, good for small business, instruments, flea market and craft items, camping or hunting dogs. 15 inch wheels, 2 inch ball. 4 X 6 with shelves in the front 9” deep.”
These fuel tanks could be pulled by jeeps and other vehicles.
“This is an original vintage 1943 magazine advertisement by Fletcher Aviation Corp. (Pasadena, California) titled
“New Fletcher Jeep Tanks … give gasoline service on the double!”
with 2 WWII era photos.
The ad measures approximately 7 3/4″ x 11 1/4″, is in excellent condition, and can easily be matted & framed.”
It looks like a number of details on this CJ-2A jeep were painted in place, such as the hood latches, the windshield latches and, possibly, the windshield.
“Up for sale is my M416 military trailer that has been modified into a off-road camping/adventure trailer. This started off as a ¼ ton M416 surplus trailer. It was completely stripped down and sandblasted. The Axle was replaced with a 3500 lb unit with 6 lug bolt pattern for Toyota and Chevrolet. The frame was extended in the front for a cooler rack, and two military style gas can mounts ( gas cans will not be included). Trailer still maintains the military pintle hitch. Body had the floor cut out and replaced with heavier steel. A custom lid was made which opens using a modified tailgate latch and heavy duty lift struts. On top of the trailer sits a large Serengeti Rooftop tent.(http://campinglab.com/serengeti01.html)
” This is a US Navy Military World War 2 Trailer built by Couse Labs for the US Navy. Its hard to read the date plate. It says Spares Trailer, Type CAHT-10284, Department of Ships. Serial number 211 I think. There is a picture of the date plate. We have only seen one restored online, its the only other one we were able to find. I believe its got one “combat rim” on it and one M38A1.Will help load her onto a truck if needed. There is another Combat Rim that will go with her (pictured). The last picture is of a Couse Labs built US Navy Trailer restored.”
I don’t know anything about these, but thought some of you would find it interesting.
“This is a 1944 Omaha Industries M3A4 Hand Cart. Omaha only made around 3600 M3A4’s, making this one of the rarer manufacturers to find.
This cart is very complete- it is only missing the draw bar, as most ones that get found are, and the cover and tow ropes. All these are available as reproductions.
The body is straight and is “barn fresh”, with only light surface rust. A quick clean up and some paint and it will look great. All the proper hardware appears to be there and it looks to be in good shape.
The wheels are intact and the original military marked tires are there. The tires do have damage, but a skilled person may very well to able save them since they are tube type. The damage on both is to the inside so they could be good display tires. In addition I am including a brand new pair of Carlisle tires that are the closest tires available to one of the styles used in WWII, these tires are $100+ alone. This gives the restorer an option of what tires to use.
The original and very hard to find bearing covers are not installed, but are included.”
